How Much Does it Cost to Elope in Colorado?

Question 2

Do You Need a Permit to Elope in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

In order to get legally married in Colorado, only a marriage license is required. However, some parks and venues may require wedding parties to have a permit for their ceremony and/or photos. For all Elope Colorado locations, we hold any permits that are necessary—you don't have to pay anything for them or worry about it.

Question 3

Does the Colorado Marriage License Have a Waiting Period?

Accepted Answer

No, Colorado does not have a waiting period for their marriage license. This means you can pick it up and get married the same day.

Question 4

Are Witnesses Required to Get Married in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

No. Colorado does not require witnesses to sign the marriage license. There are two witness lines that can be signed or left blank.

Question 5

Is an Officiant Required to Get Married in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

No. Colorado does not require a wedding officiant to sign the marriage license. They offer a unique process called self-solemnization which allows couples to legally sign off on their own license without a minister, judge, or officiant. However, many couples still opt to hire a wedding officiant to perform the ceremony and lead the day.

Question 6

Can a Friend or Family Member Officiate a Colorado Wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your friend can legally be your wedding officiant in Colorado. Since Colorado does not require an officiant's signature on the license, your friend can symbolically lead the ceremony while the couple signs their own license through self-solemnization. Alternatively, if you want your friend to sign as your officiant, they simply need to get ordained.

Question 7

What's the Best Month to Elope in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

Colorado is a popular elopement destination all year round. The most popular time to elope is mid-June through mid-October. Couples looking for a winter wedding should opt for February through March.

Question 8

What is the Best Time of Day to Elope in Colorado?

Accepted Answer

In Colorado, the best time of day to elope is either sunrise or sunset to get the best lighting for photos. Sunrise has the advantage of having fewer people in the area if you're using a public park, but can make for an early morning around 7am depending on the season.
