The Ultimate Guide to Eloping in Moab, Utah
Moab is one of my favorite places on Earth
As a lover of all things outdoors, and as an adventure elopement photographer: Moab is one of the most incredible places in the world. It is right at the center of some of the most beautiful and unique landscapes in the country, including Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, but seriously the opportunities for an incredible Moab elopement don’t even come close to ending there.
Moab is the perfect basecamp for endless opportunities to adventure into the wilderness and leave the crowds behind, without sacrificing the amenities of a city for food, lodging, and creature comforts. A Moab elopement is the ultimate intersection of expansive and totally unique scenery, activities suited for every adventurer’s comfort level, and a post-elopement honeymoon relaxing in a desert resort or backpacking under the stars.
My Favorite Thing About THIS AREA? SO MANY ACTIVITIES!!
Moab elopements are SO incredibly customizable. There’s so many things to do and so many places to see! I highly recommend including activities in your elopement day that feel true to you as a couple, and Moab presents a plethora options, from rock climbing to off-roading to white water rafting. And whether you want to include close friends and family in your elopement day, or run off just you and your partner, there’s a ceremony location in the Moab area that perfectly matches your preferences.
Hey There! I’m Sam
Your Utah elopement photographer + planner! I absolutely adore the Moab area and I am stoked to share some of my favorite things to do here below.
A lot of my clients start with me from square one- no date or location picked out- and I love getting to help figure out all the details! So no worries if you still aren’t sure if Moab is the right fit or not, hit me up and let’s chat about what your ideal day looks like. I’ll give you customized recommendations!
We’re Going to Chat About ALL of This:
Where To Elope In Moab
Get ready to be overwhelmed with options—and hopefully, drawn to something that feels exactly right for you! I’ll walk you through my favorite places to elope and adventure in the Moab area, starting with the obvious and moving to the totally unusual and unique.
Arches National Park
Arches National Park is one of the most distinctive, one-of-a-kind national parks in the country, with natural rock formations that are truly like nothing else on earth. The five ceremony locations in Arches prioritize stunning mountain views and arch backdrops. Arches National Park also has some of the coolest hiking and backpacking trails in the Moab area for adventuring before or after your Moab elopement, including the iconic Delicate Arch trail.
Canyonlands National Park
Canyonlands National Park is known for its stunning, wide views—from the vistas and overlooks, you can see expansive valleys of ancient canyons cut into the red rock. This landscape is totally one-of-a-kind, and the unobstructed views are ideal for jaw-dropping portraits and ceremony backgrounds.
Canyonlands is also one of the least busy national parks in southern Utah, which is a great perk if you want to prioritize a private, intimate Moab elopement.
Deadhorse Point State Park
If national parks are a little crowded for your taste, consider one of the many equally amazing state parks in southern Utah for your Moab elopement! Dead Horse Point State Park offers immense and breathtaking red rock canyons as a backdrop for your private, intimate elopement or micro-wedding in one of five stunning locations.
Like with Arches or Canyonlands National Parks, Dead Horse Point State Park requires a special-use permit to hold a wedding or elopement, but these permits can be reserved up to 18 months in advance (and are a bit less sought-after), which relieves some of the stress associated with nabbing a permit for a national park elopement.
All the ceremony locations around the park are located at canyon edges with absolutely jaw-dropping views—my personal favorite is the Cliff Side Site, which is the most private of the ceremony sites and can accommodate up to 20 people on the slickrock site with a backdrop of the Colorado River snaking through the steep canyon below. You can also reserve a picnic shelter for a reception with a small group of family and friends.
Check out the Utah State Parks website for all the details about a Moab elopement in Dead Horse Point State Park—including a super cool “Getting Hitched” Guide with a map of all the ceremony and picnic sites!
Bureau of Land Management (aka BLM) Land
Thinking about something more off-the-grid for your Moab elopement? A lot of the area surrounding Moab that isn’t national and state parks is controlled by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which governs public-use land. BLM land is perfect for camping under the stars, off-roading on miles and miles of trails, and eloping!
You can backpack for the night (or several), rent a Jeep and drive off way into the backcountry, or just hike a few miles to get away from the crowds—whatever matches your style—to find a completely private, one-of-a-kind location for your elopement ceremony.
BLM does have restrictions and rules for us to follow. I already hold a Commercial Use Authorization for the Moab area, which allows me to photograph incredible elopements on this land. Depending on your ideas, we may also need to fill out a Special Recreation Permit application on the BLM website.
La Sal Mountains
Moab is known for its red rock formations and desert expanses, but it’s also close to the beautiful La Sal mountain range. This area includes must-see landmarks like the Bears Ears National Monument, the Mammoth Discovery Site, and the Whole Enchilada 35-mile mountain biking and hiking trail.
The Manti-La Sal National Forest boasts 32 developed campgrounds in addition to dispersed camping options, and special-use permits for weddings of up to 75 people are easy to apply for on the US Forest Service’s website. If you’re looking for the full Moab experience—arches in the morning and mountains in the afternoon—consider the La Sal Mountains as a Moab elopement backdrop.
The Rest of Southern Utah!
Moab is probably the most popular central locale in southern Utah, but it’s just a drop in the bucket in terms of all the amazing places you could elope in this area. If you’re looking for something a bit more out-of-the-box for your Utah elopement, consider venturing a bit further out to the towns of Monticello or Blanding, camping along the Comb Ridge and visiting ancient Anasazi ruins, or traveling to one (or all) of the three National Parks outside of Moab (Capital Reef, Bryce Canyon, or Zion). Reach out to me and let’s chat about some of the other cool towns and locations in southern Utah—I have so many ideas!
Moab Micro-Wedding Venues
If you want to include friends and family in your wedding day but still want a unique, iconically Moab experience, the Moab area has several gorgeous micro-wedding venues to consider.
Red Earth Venue
The Red Earth Venue in Moab is one of the most stunning, quintessentially Moab micro-wedding venues. With jaw-dropping ceremony spaces framed by red rock cliffs and blue sky, and a glass pavilion that literally glows as it reflects light at sunset, the Red Earth Venue offers both indoor and outdoor options, facilities for catering, furniture rentals, and capacity for over 100 guests.
Sorrel River Ranch
Sorrel River Ranch is a resort, spa, and venue with ceremony spaces under a covered pavilion or right on the banks of the Colorado River. Sorrel River Ranch is a super flexible venue, with packages for intimate micro-weddings—perfect for couples looking for something elopement-adjacent but with slightly more creature comforts—scaling to options to reserve the whole property for a huge party. On-site dining and accommodations make for a stress-free package deal at this beautiful, tranquil property.
Whispering Oaks Ranch
Whispering Oaks Ranch has gorgeous, rustic cabin rentals, an aspen-lined outdoor ceremony space, and a covered pavilion with vivid greenery and La Sal Mountain Range views for couples seeking a more mountain-focused micro-wedding near Moab. Whispering Oaks specifically recommends their Cedar Bend Lodge Cabin, which accommodates 12-24 overnight guests, as an ideal micro-wedding setting—the detached deck can host a small wedding ceremony with a mountain peak backdrop.
Under Canvas Moab
Under Canvas Moab is a one-of-a-kind glamping resort near Arches and Canyonlands National Parks with outdoor and covered event spaces. It offers luxuriously decorated 2- to 4-person canvas tents—some of which allow you to literally sleep under the stars—right in the heart of the desert with red rock and mountain views. You can book group accommodation from 10 tents to reserving the whole resort, so there’s no need for your guests to travel to and from the venue. This is not just a unique venue—it’s a completely unique weekend experience for your entire micro-wedding guest list.
Spanish Valley Vineyards and Winery
Spanish Valley is a beautiful winery and bed and breakfast nestled just outside Moab against red rock cliffs. The winery offers private event options from 3-hour patio reservations to full-property, multi-day stays. Spanish Valley works with local vendors and event planners to create your unique, private experience at their picturesque property—including amazing local wines, of course!
Canyonlands by Night and Day
Canyonlands by Night and Day is primarily a boat tour company offering Colorado River adventures, but they also host weddings in their private building and patio…or on a boat! You can get married right in the middle of the Colorado River with your closest loved ones, or shuttled by boat to a completely private beach location. The company also offers fine dining for large groups, and indoor and outdoor reception areas.
Glamping Canyonlands
Glamping Canyonlands is a small private “glampground” that also hosts elopements and micro-weddings around their chic, private tents and tiny cabins. The accommodations at Glamping Canyonlands are spread out across their desert plains property for ultimate privacy and an intimate, unique elopement (and honeymoon!) experience. The site also experiences stunning and uninterrupted sunrise, sunset, and night sky views for amazing photos all day.
Adventuring During Your Moab Elopement
A truly special perk of a Moab elopement is the endless options to adventure before and after your ceremony. You can pick activities that feel true to you as a couple and allow you to have fun as newlyweds while capturing some fantastic and unusual wedding photos. One of my favorite parts of planning an adventure elopement in Moab is chit-chatting with my couples to figure out which activities to include in their custom itinerary that will showcase their love—for each other, and the great outdoors!
Hiking
This is one of my absolute favorite hobbies, and oh my gosh is Moab an incredible place to explore on foot. There are so many great hikes around Moab, both inside and outside the national parks and customizable for any skill level. These are just a few of my favorites!
Backpacking
Some of the coolest trails around the Moab area take more than one day to accomplish, making them the perfect setting for a backpacking Moab elopement or honeymoon! Fortunately, if you book me to capture this kind of adventure, I’m an experienced backpacker with the gear and know-how to help you plan a multi-day hiking trip.
WhiteWater Rafting
Moab can get hot in the summer, so why not cool off after your Moab elopement with an afternoon rafting on the Colorado River? There are many companies in Moab that offer rafting tours for all levels of experience and thrill-seeking—here are a few with great reputations!
Skydiving
If you’re even more of a thrillseeker, what better way to celebrate your brand new (or soon-to-be) marriage than taking the ultimate risk together? Moab’s gorgeous, colorful landscape is breathtaking from above, and this might be a great way to work out some nerves—a wedding ceremony is nothing compared to falling from the sky!
Skydive Moab offers falls up to 13,000 feet, starting at $200/person, and can accommodate larger groups for an unforgettable wedding party activity.
Canyoneering
Moab is known for its sheer red rock canyons, best experienced on a canyoneering and rappelling tour that can take you to sites you can’t see any other way. Canyoneering trips usually last a half day, but some guided tour companies offer up to multi-day adventures. These routes will take you up and down canyon walls, to swimming holes, past petroglyphs and dinosaur tracks, and to some really unbelievable views.
Moab Canyon Tours, Red River Adventures, Cliffs and Canyons and Windgate Adventures all offer guided trips for any skill level!
Rock Climbing
Another way to experience Moab’s iconic rock formations is to climb! Rock climbing can make for some especially cool wedding portraits to capture your Moab elopement day as you dangle upside down from cliffsides, and like other activities it can be scaled by Moab’s many experienced tour companies to suit even absolute beginners!
The companies listed for canyoneering above also offer rock climbing tours!
Off Roading
Moab is not only a haven for hiking and nature enthusiasts, it’s also one of the most popular centers for off-roading in the western US. You can expect to see mud-splattered Jeeps roaming the streets of Moab no matter the time of year, and for good reason—four-wheel drive can get you to some places in the Moab area that just aren’t accessible in any other way.
Fortunately, you don’t need a Jeep of your own (or even off-roading experience) if you want to get in on the action—and away from the crowds! There are several options to take part in this classic Moab pastime no matter your comfort level.
Rent a Jeep
If you want to get right in the driver’s seat, many companies in Moab offer Jeep rentals. This is a great option whether you want to go deep in the backcountry, or just have a little more capability for rocky and sandy roads. You could rent a Jeep (or several!) from one of the companies in town, my personal favorite being Southwest Jeep Adventures. They have super cool camper jeeps, perfect if we are adventuring far out of town.
Rent a UTV
Jeeps aren’t the only option for off-roading during your Moab elopement! The BLM desert land surrounding Moab is chock-full of trails for ATVs and UTVs (aka quads, four-wheelers, or side-by-sides). These require a little more gear (helmets are key!), but don’t require a lot of experience to drive if it’s your first time, and you can rent all the essentials from one of these companies in Moab:
Go On a Jeep Tour
Not quite ready to hop in the driver’s seat, or just want to sit back and relax while still experiencing Utah’s backcountry? Not a problem—several of Moab’s tour companies offer guided Jeep and UTV tours that take the burden out of planning and driving:
Stargazing
Of course, Moab’s draws aren’t limited to its daytime beauty. The low light pollution outside town and in the national parks creates a completely separate landscape at night, where the Milky Way is on brilliant display. Some of the venues above, especially the glamping venues, will let you keep partying late into the night, or we can venture away from civilization for some astrophotography portraits of your first stunning evening as newlyweds.
If astrophotography shots are high on your priority list for your Moab elopement, reach out—I can help you pick a date, time, and location where the Milky Way will be on full display!
When To Elope In Moab
There’s no wrong time to plan your Moab elopement, but each season brings something new to keep in mind. The Moab area has large temperature fluctuations between the seasons, and even within a single day. If you don’t already have your heart set on a time of year, reach out to me and we can talk through your priorities to pick the date that works best for you! Here are some of the benefits, drawbacks, and considerations for each season.
Winter
The Moab area doesn’t usually get large snowfalls, but it does experience dustings of snow on its gorgeous red rocks, and the snow-capped peaks of the La Sal mountain range are visible from many ceremony and portrait locations. Average highs in the winter are between 30 and 50 degrees, with lows between 0 and 20 degrees.
Some key winter considerations are that even small amounts of snow can make roads and trails impassable, and some attractions, rentals, and campgrounds close during the winter season. The trade-off is that winter is Moab’s least busy season, so if privacy is your priority for your Moab elopement, we can pack our hand warmers and capture some snowy desert shots.
Spring
Spring is one of Moab’s more temperate seasons, though temperatures can fluctuate hugely throughout the day: daytime highs average between 60 and 80 degrees, with lows between 30 and 50 degrees. This is great weather for camping and hiking!
Spring is when the trees and shrubs in Moab’s deserts really green up, which can be a beautiful addition to the bold colors of this landscape. If you’re hoping for the most ideal weather for your Moab elopement, spring is a top choice.
Summer
Moab summers are hot and brutal! Daytime temperatures often exceed 100 degrees, with lows in the 60s. Monsoons can also cause flash floods in canyons during the late summer. Adventuring in the summer is still possible—but we’ll want to start any activities as early in the day as possible to beat the heat, pack tons of water and sunscreen, and plan a sunrise or sunset ceremony time for your Moab elopement. We’ll also need to consider timed entry permits for national parks during the summer.
One advantage of a summer elopement in Moab, however, is the opportunities for astrophotography! Because Moab does fortunately cool off at night to a more comfortable temp, we can hang out under the stars and take some amazing photos.
Fall
Fall is my personal favorite season for a Moab elopement, with similar daytime highs (60-80 degrees) and lows (30-50 degrees) to spring. The temperate climate makes all-day adventuring possible, starting with a sunrise hike and ending with sunset portraits against a canyon backdrop.
If this sounds too good to be true, there’s one key disadvantage: fall is also a busier season in Moab, as other adventurers seek out good hiking weather in the nearby national parks. We can help keep your elopement private, however, by considering location, time of day, and weekday—more on that below!
Whatever You Do: Choose a Weekday!
If I could give my Moab adventure elopement couples one single piece of advice, it would be this: don’t elope on a weekend! Since Moab is a destination elopement location for pretty much all of my couples, and because guest lists are usually small to zero, there’s no real reason to elope on a weekend—and so many benefits to choosing a weekday. Most importantly, the crowds at Moab’s most popular locations are significantly more limited on weekdays. This will give us flexibility on timeline, privacy for an intimate ceremony, and no tourists wandering through the background of photos!
Where to Stay For Your Moab Elopement
Whether you want the comfort of a hotel to enjoy your honeymoon, or want to sleep under the stars, there’s an accommodation option for your Moab elopement that’ll check all the boxes. I’ll go over some great ideas here, starting with the “roughin’ it” options and moving to the more luxurious.
Camping
Arches National Park
For more information and reservations, head to the National Park Service’s website.
Canyonlands National Park
For more information and reservations, check out the National Park Service’s website.
Dead Horse Point State Park
Dead Horse Point State Park has two campgrounds: Kyenta and Wingate. Each campground has 20-30 reservable sites for tents, RVs, and hike-in only spots, plus four reservable yurts in the Wingate campground. Both campgrounds are located on open, sandy mesa with expansive views but not much shelter from the elements. The proximity to hiking and even ceremony locations in the state park, however, make them an attractive option for the night of your Moab elopement.
Camping on BLM LAnd
The BLM land around Moab has both campgrounds—some of which are reservable—and free, dispersed camping all throughout the region. The BLM’s Moab Field Office visitor guide includes a list of campgrounds and dispersed camping areas around Moab.
Camper Jeeps
Maybe the most unique and once-in-a-lifetime lodging option for your Moab elopement combines so many of the best aspects of other options and activities: camper Jeeps. These rentable Jeeps have a pop-up rooftop tent mounted to the roof rack that sleeps up to four people. With a camper Jeep, you can off-road to Moab’s backcountry and camp pretty much anywhere (at least, anywhere tent camping is allowed) in a comfortable bed, high above the cold hard ground, while still experiencing nature up close. I’ve had a great experience with Southwest Jeep Adventures!
Rent an Airstream
For comfort (and plumbing!) while still getting to wake up to an unobstructed desert sunrise right outside your door, consider renting an Airstream trailer, the quaintest of camping options for your Moab elopement. An Airstream would also make some unforgettable photos for getting ready or relaxing post-ceremony!
Some Airstreams are available for private rental via AirBnb or VRBO, but keep in mind these are usually strictly stationary. Southwest Jeep Adventures offers Airstream rentals that can be towed to your chosen location!
Glamping
A few of the venue options detailed above are also glamping venues for you and your partner, or your whole crew! “Glampgrounds” offer comfy beds and furniture in large canvas tents and can include amenities like private porches, outdoor showers and tubs, fire pits, and other fun perks to make your experience unforgettable. Whether or not you host your ceremony at one of these venues, they’re an option well worth considering for your wedding night, and would also be a fun getting ready space.
Here are some of the coolest glamping venues in and around Moab:
Hotels and Resorts
There’s no shame in wanting to relax in absolute style and comfort after a full elopement day spent out in nature. Moab has so many beautiful resorts and hotels, both right in town and in the surrounding desert. Check out some of these amazing options for a variety of budgets:
- Hoodoo Moab: for modern accommodations right downtown
- SpringHill Suites Moab: for the most amazing desert-themed pools
- Sorrel River Ranch Resort: for a luxurious spa resort along the Colorado River
- Gonzo Inn: for a condo-style boutique hotel downtown
- Moab Springs Ranch: for bungalow and townhouse rentals in a Cottonwood oasis
- Field Station Moab: for an adventure-themed stay
- Expedition Lodge: for an inexpensive but comfy and quaint choice
AirBnbs
If what you really want is a whole house to yourself—whether to sleep your whole crew, or just for privacy and flexibility in getting ready for your day—don’t overlook the hundreds of listings on AirBnb and VRBO for your Moab elopement.
How to Get to Moab
Moab doesn’t have a major airport, so transportation to and from your Moab elopement is definitely a big consideration!
The two closest major airports are in Salt Lake City (237 miles away) or Denver (276 miles away). Grand Junction Regional Airport is a much closer 114 miles, and you can catch a smaller plane there from Salt Lake City or Denver if you prefer to limit driving time. Otherwise, your best bet for a flight with a major airline is Salt Lake City. From there, you can rent a car and drive about four hours to Moab.
There are a few shuttle options within Moab to get to the national parks and trailheads, including Porcupine Shuttle and Roadrunner Shuttle. However, you’ll definitely have more flexibility to explore on your own timeline by renting a car for your trip. If you don’t plan on doing a lot of off-roading and don’t anticipate needing a Jeep (more info above), I’d still recommend considering at least something with all-wheel drive, so you can take on some of the dirt roads during your trip—especially during rainy and snowy seasons.
Where to Eat in Moab
Another key aspect of any vacation, elopement or otherwise, is the food! A real perk of an elopement in the Moab area is that Moab itself has lots of great restaurants. I’ve eaten my fair share of meals in Moab and rounded up some of my favorite choices.
Breakfast
Whether you’re a coffee lover or an eggs-and-bacon person, here are my favorite breakfast spots to start your day of Moab adventuring off right. Breakfast together would also be an adorable and memorable way to begin your elopement day!
- Moab Garage Co.
- Love Muffin Cafe
- Red Rock Bakery and Cafe
- Cactus Jacks Moab
- Jailhouse Cafe
- Canyon Steak & Waffle
Lunch
And for a midday pick-me-up, here are my favorite casual lunch spots in Moab:
- Moab Food Truck Park
- The Spoke on Center
- Moab Garage Co.
- Trailhead Public House and Eatery
- Milt’s Stop & Eat
- Pasta Jay’s
Dinner
Consider capping off your elopement day with a romantic—or maybe just casual and delicious—dinner to relax with your new spouse. These are some my favorite Moab restaurants for a sit-down meal:
- The Spoke on Center
- Dewey’s Restaurant and Bar
- Antica Forma
- The Broken Oar
- 98 Center Moab
What to Pack For Your Moab Elopement
Packing for your Moab elopement will depend a lot on the season and weather, but the broad strokes remain the same, and it’s always better to be over-prepared than under-prepared!
Here are some key things to keep in mind when packing your bags for your Moab elopement:
- Elopement formalwear (consider comfort and packability if you plan to adventure to your ceremony location)
- Base layers for cold weather (including light-colored base layers than can be worn under formalwear)
- Jackets for layering and weather (I recommend bringing multiple options that can be layered or swapped out, because Moab weather can change rapidly)
- Good hiking boots and socks (heels with your wedding dress is pretty much a no-go on Utah terrain, so consider cute boots that still have traction and stability)
- Athletic clothes and backpack for hiking and activities
- Water bottles and/or Camelback (we’ll need to pack lots of water any time of year because the desert doesn’t have much natural running water; this is especially critical in warmer months)
- Vow books, florals, rings, and other elopement accessories
- Hiking and adventuring snacks
- Camping gear (if you’re camping, glamping, or backpacking)
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hat (the Utah sun can be brutal all year)
Leaving No Trace During Your Moab Elopement
The Moab area has some of the most beautiful and unique nature in the world, and it’s every visitor’s responsibility to protect it so we can keep enjoying it for years to come. The Leave No Trace foundation has 7 principles for leaving nature the way you found it:
- Plan head and prepare
- Travel and camp on durable surfaces
- Dispose of waste properly
- Leave what you find
- Minimize campfire impacts
- Respect wildlife
- Be considerate of others
During your Moab elopement, there are some specific things to consider when trying to leave no trace:
- Don’t feed or approach wildlife. Moab is teeming with critters, from deer, sheep, and coyotes, to lizards, snakes, rabbits, and squirrels. These animals are often cute and exciting to see in person, and especially when it comes to small creatures like lizards, it can be easy to forget that they are wild and that feeding them can severely disrupt their natural habit and way of life. Enjoy from a distance, but give animals a wide berth!
- Pack out trash and waste. Make sure that anything you bring with you leaves with you! Be considerate of food wrappers, and make sure you dispose of any trash in the trash cans at trailheads and picnic areas. This also means we can’t toss flower petals, birdseed, confetti, etc. after an elopement ceremony.
- Don’t take anything with you. Though it can be tempting, don’t remove any rocks, plant life, or other natural objects from their natural environment.
- Stay on established trails. Rangers and officials from the national and state parks and Bureau of Land Management work hard to keep hiking and offroading trails maintained and safe and ensure that visitors don’t wander off and potentially damage the nature around them. Make sure to stay on established, marked trails and paths, camp only in designated areas, and read and respect the rules for the area you’re in, whether a national park or open-use land.
How To Plan Your Moab Elopement:
If this guide has convinced you that a Moab elopement might be right for you, but you’re not quite sure where to start and feeling overwhelmed by the options, don’t panic! I’ll break down the steps to planning your dream Moab elopement and do my best to make the process as stress-free as possible for you and your partner.

I can help secure campground reservations, scour AirBnb for the perfect house, or find an off-roading trail for dispersed camping or backpacking.
4. Find Other Vendors and Nail Down Timeline
Once we have a location and place to stay, we can start building out the timeline for your elopement day, including hiring any other vendors you may need to make your dream elopement a reality. This might include florals, hair and makeup, reservations for elopement day activities or rentals, formalwear, and food. I have established relationships with several local vendors and can provide recommendations to help you pick the right professionals to execute your vision!
