How much does a Colorado elopement cost?

How much should you budget for a small wedding?  That depends on several different factors such as the locations, number of guests, what you include (like cake, photography, flowers, seating), the number of service hours and any other inclusions.  We will help explain what to expect to pay for a small wedding in Colorado.

Note:  Below are starting prices. ⬇️  Your actual package depends on the venue/destination (permitting fees), gondola tickets, number of people standing up with you (if any), seating (benches), more florals, extra time, additional desserts, etc.  Should you self-solemnize or BYO officiant, you can deduct $350. 
​Items to budget outside of the package are travel (flights, lodging, car), attire, hair/makeup, and dinner.  We guide you along the way with quality recommendations from past couples.  If you are working with a certain budget, please let Wendee know. ​

Elopement Package Pricing

High-quality elopements, exceptional value, unforgettable memories.


All packages include Wendee's planning and recommendations to nearby lodging, restaurants and hair/makeup artists. .   
  • 1.5 hours - officiant, photographer and cake/flowers are all at one spot, the ceremony site.  
  • 3 or 3.5 hours - our photographer and coordinator meet you at your lodging for details, getting-ready and (optional) a sentimental first-look. We convoy to the ceremony site, do the ceremony, group photos, and then head back to the restaurant where we do a ceremonial cutting-of-the-cake before you are seated for dinner.  That usually concludes the 3 or 3.5 hours of time
  • Hybrid:  combining the 1.5 and 3/3.5 for a 2/2.5 hour package.  This includes some getting ready photos, and going out to the ceremony site together.  We’d do cake and a little celebration at the ceremony spot, and end our service there so that you can go back to the restaurant on your own.

Colorado Wedding Costs for the Average Wedding

Planning a wedding in the beautiful mountain landscapes of Colorado? Congratulations! But before you say "I do" to your dream venue, let's talk numbers. Wedding costs can vary significantly based on your choices, the vendor services/inclusions, delivery fees or transportation to/from your event, and the experience of each vendor.  Below ⬇️ is a breakdown of what to expect in Colorado, specifically for a "traditional" wedding party with up to 10 attendants (5 on each side) and 125 guests.  Remember to factor in labor, services fees, and taxes!

Why Budgets Matter

Wouldn’t it be nice to have an unlimited budget for your wedding? Whether you have $5,000 or $500,000, a budget is crucial for guiding your decisions and ensuring every dollar is well spent. Remember, the key is managing your expenditures wisely before signing any contracts.

Micro-Wedding Timeline

A small wedding timeline can vary depending on your logistics, the number of guests, and what kind of coverage you want to capture.  We design the flow to capture all the sentimental details in about a 3.5 to 4 hour package (which can be scaled-back for elopements); that way, it maximizes your budget.  The video to the right will visually give you examples of a micro-wedding order of events, which typically flows like this: 
  • ​ Getting Ready
  • First Look (optional)
  • Convoy to the ceremony site
  • Ceremony
  • Group photos
  • ​Couple-only photos 
  • Cake and cheers: can be done at the ceremony site or at the restaurant
  • Dances (optional): can be done at the ceremony site or at the restaurant
