The Best Time of the Year to Elope in Utah

Make your elopement destination truly unique by eloping in Utah. Utah experiences each unique season throughout the year. A spring elopement in Utah includes cold fronts, modest rainfall, spring blooms, and moderate temperatures. This is perfect for a couple wanting wildflowers and greenery in their destination mountain elopement. A summer elopement would kick off with abundant sunshine, high temperatures, and low humidity. Although hot outside, a couple eloping in summer might find themselves cooling off while boating or engaging in other water-sports in our various lakes and reservoirs. Favorite destinations include Lake Powell and Bear Lake. Fall offers unique elopement picture opportunities even with the colder temperatures. Canyon leaves begin changing colors to shades of orange, red, yellow, and pink while the mountain peaks begin to experience snowfall. With the ushering in of winter, a couple eloping in Utah might experience freezing temperatures with high levels of snowfall throughout Utah’s mountains and valleys. Although cold, a snow-covered mountain backdrop is a favorite among those choosing Utah as their elopement destination. Regardless of the season, spring (March through May), summer (June through August), fall (September through November) or winter (December through February), there are always activities to make your Utah elopement destination memorable!

Utah Spring Elopement
As the flowers begin to bloom, elopement couples may find themselves in the various Utah national parks. The temperatures may be cooler and rainfall is a high possibility, so be prepared by having an umbrella and jacket handy.

Utah Summer Elopement
Eloping in the summer is ideal for couples who enjoy water activities and the picturesque desert backdrops of Southern Utah. Visiting Lake Powell or Bear Lake are great ways to cool down on those hot summer days.

Utah Fall Elopement
Although temperatures decrease, a fall elopement might be the optimal choice. An eloping couple can experience the gorgeous fall colors by hiking or biking in the Utah mountains, canyons, and national parks.

Utah Winter Elopement
Utah is known for its snow, and if an elopement couple enjoys skiing or snowboarding then a winter elopement is the right choice. Visiting ski resorts such as Snowbird, Solitude, or Alta are great options for the avid snow sport couple. Plus many resorts will host an elopement event. For a unique snow opportunity as unique as your elopement, check out Midway, Utah for horse drawn sleigh rides and dog sledding.
