About the Park
Rocky Mountain National Park is a sprawling 415 square mile park that offers a dynamic range of different mountain environments, trails, overlooks, campgrounds, and day-use areas. When it comes to wedding ceremonies, the park has a strict system that restricts the locations, dates, times, and group size of the events. Regardless of group size the park requires you to apply for a $300 permit ($200 with my planning services) that provides your group access to a designated ceremony site for a specific 2 hour window. Each ceremony site ranges in accessibility, photo opportunities, privacy, and max group size.

About My services
Hey there! My name’s Iver Marjerison. I’m a professional small-wedding and elopement planner who has personally planned more then 300 weddings in Rocky Mountain National Park. I created this all-inclusive elopement package service as way to make the RMNP wedding process more simple for couples—while also ensuring the highest quality services, and the best prices. With my elopement packages, I’m able to directly secure the RMNP wedding permit at a discount rate of $225 (instead of $300) and coordinate a hand-picked team of top rated professional wedding vendors in the state. I get exclusive discounts and packages with these vendors so you can trust you’re getting the best services at the best prices. Beyond coordination of the ceremony site and vendors, I also provide guidance on securing the marriage license, and a dining/lodging guide for the Estes Parka area. With my planning services you’ll also receive unlimited remote support—call, text, or email me anytime! I’ll personally do whatever I can to make your wedding day perfect.

Locations

The Best RMNP Ceremony Sites -

Lily Lake (Picnic Area)

Max Group Size: 30
Offering beautiful mountain views alongside a quaint alpine lake, this location is great for slightly larger groups! The site is an easy 5min walk from the parking area, has vault toilets, and a good amount of parking. The area can be busy, but the ceremony site sits a bit off the main trail.
3M Curve

Max Group Size: 15
Set in the midst of a mountain meadow, this location offers dynamic views in all directions and features a rock cropping perfect for the ceremony site. It is about a 4min hike down semi-rough terrain which can be challenging for elderly guests. There are no facilities on site, and the parking can be a bit limited, but still one of my favorite choices for smaller groups.
Sprague Lake

Max Group Size: 15 Summer - 30 Winter
One of the most popular wedding locations in the park, this elegant lake dock offers panoramic mountain views, evergreen forests, and of course, a lake! This area is very popular and the dock is just off the main trail, so expect a lot of people in the area. The dock is an easy 7min walk along a dirt path. There are vault toilets on site, and a ton of parking, though even with the large lot it often times will fill up—so arrive early!
Upper Beaver Meadows

Max Group Size: 30
Not available October - May
Featuring an expansive open field with panoramic mountain views, this location has a nice meadow vibe. It’s only a few minute walk, but does require crossing a narrow bridge that may not be suitable for elderly guests. The site is just off a busy trail with no features to separate you from people passing by.
Lily Lake Dock

Max Group Size: 10
This spot features a quaint wooden dock and beautiful views! It is also one of the most accessibly spots in the park, with a smooth path directly from the adjacent parking. However, the proximity to the parking lot can have have a lot of people walking around the area.
Moraine Amphitheater

Max Group Size: 30
One of the only sites in the park to offer privacy, seating, and your own parking spots! It does lack mountain views, but offers a nice forest vibe. Couples generally opt to do their portraits elsewhere in the park afterwards to get more dynamic views.
Hidden valley

Max Group Size: 30
This location is nestled in a clearing surrounded by a beautiful forest of pines. This is the perfect location if you’re looking for more of an intimate forest vibe for the ceremony!
Adventure!

Max Group Size: 4
Looking to get off the beaten path? I also offer customized adventure wedding packages in the Estes Park area. Ask me for details!
