If you’re considering a Jackson Hole elopement, you’re my kind of person!! I love everything about Jackson Hole as well as everything about elopements. The simplicity of nature can’t be beat, especially when you’re surrounded by the stunning Tetons. In this awesome guide, you’ll find everything from the best vendor recommendations to ideas for stunning locations for your elopement. If you’re still looking for an elopement or wedding photographer, I would love to be considered! Fill out this form and let’s chat about any questions that you have. I want to be a helpful resource and a guide for you as you navigate the planning process, so let’s get to it!

Jackson Hole Elopement Locations

There is NOT a lack of locations in Jackson Hole for your elopement. There are some really, REALLY great spots both in Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park. Keep in mind that you’ll need a permit (which I talk more about here) to elope in Grand Teton. You’ll need a marriage license regardless of where you get married in Wyoming, which I also talk about in this blog post. You’ll need to keep in mind that some locations will be closed, based on what time of the year it is. I’ve written multiple in-depth blog posts about many of these wedding venues, complete with rental fee information as well as vendor information and lotsa good stuff!! I’ll link those when I list the wedding venue. Likewise, I’ll list 10 wedding venues available for your Jackson Hole elopement in this blog post. As always, email me with any questions that you have!

Jackson Hole Wedding Planners

Look, I know you want to keep this simple, but let’s be honest. Sometimes you just want to take as much off your plate as possible. If your budget allows for this, a wedding planner is definitely a game changer, even for an elopement! I’ll provide you with three awesome recs of wedding planners in the Jackson Hole area. Check out their websites to learn more about them, but I just wanted everything all in one place for easy reference.

Wild Rose Jackson Hole

I love what Ashley at Wild Rose Jackson Hole is doing with her wedding planning business. She keeps Mother Nature in mind as she plans events and it’s truly beautiful to see. Starting your journey as a married couple in the same conscientious way that you live your daily life by trying to reduce your footprint is huge. Wild Rose can create a unique, artistic, love-minded event that is also sustainable and eco-friendly. Ashley can help you:

select talented local vendors who are an integral part of this community
work with a catering company that recycles, composts and uses locally sourced ingredients when possible
find a florist who creates gorgeous arrangements using Wyoming and Idaho grown flowers
design your printed products on recycled paper, or explore electronic options
discover creative transportation solutions
decorate using unique, repurposed vintage goods
create beautiful custom signage to cut down on programs and menus
switch out those petroleum-based candles with soy based versions
find useable wedding favors instead of single-use, disposable items
plant a tree for every guest who flew to Jackson Hole
donate leftover food to the local food bank, or donate a meal to a hungry family for each meal you provide to your guests
plan a fundraiser wedding that will benefit your favorite cause or non-profit

Her website says, “Having a sustainable celebration is easier than you think, and you don’t have to sacrifice style or skimp on design,” which I love!

Elope Jackson

Tiffany at Elope Jackson is an event designer and stylist. She loves helping lovers within the intimate and micro wedding space. I personally am a huge fan of the saying “less is more” so I LOVE the fact that Tiffany also embraces that idea with her wedding/elopement planning business. Elope Jackson offers intimate event planning & design for couples who value a personable experience filled with intentional detail. They value quality over quantity. To learn more about Tiffany at Elope Jackson, check out her website here!

Simply Grand Events

Kendra at Simply Grand Events is a mountain lover, just like me!! If you’re wanting a wedding planner that shares that love with you, look no further. She has a background in interior design and an eye for beautiful details. Her work has been featured in Martha Stewart, The Knot, Weddings Magazine and other incredible places. She has been in the business for over ten years and wants her clients to feel like they have a heavy hand in the style, feel, and overall planning of their event without all the stress of managing vendors, worrying about payments, or thinking about the little things that can get lost in the excitement.

Jackson Hole Officiants

Two witnesses are required at your marriage ceremony. A marriage ceremony can be performed by a district judge, county judge, federal judge, court commissioner, Justice of the Peace, or by any licensed or ordained minister or bishop. If you need help finding someone to officiate your elopement, you can call the Teton County Clerk’s office at 307-733-4430. If you choose to hire a wedding planner, this will be something that she can help you out with as well. Again, if you have any questions about anything, just shoot me an email!

Jackson Hole Florists

Lily & Co. is truly inspired by nature, considering the gorgeous surroundings of Jackson Hole. Emily pays great attention to detail and has the ability to connect with the most visionary and design savvy clients. Her work is unsurpassed in the industry. From styling flowers for a large wedding celebration to designing tablescapes for an intimate dinner party, Emily has the knowledge, skills and style to craft any vision and creatively direct it into a beautiful, memorable experience. Her work for both micro weddings and large celebrations can be found here!

The staff at Briar Rose Flowers understands that every bride has her own vision of what she wants her wedding to look like. They use their design experience to bring the bride’s vision to life and have served at all the major wedding venues in the greater area. As a bonus, they also offer tuxedo rentals. Briar Rose offers a wide selection of finely fabricated tuxedos in many color choices from some of the fashion industry’s respected formal wear designers. All of their tuxedos are delivered in Jackson Hole, and they provide all the measurements.

Another great option for florals is JH Flower Boutique. They have been locally owned and operating for over 50 years. That’s seriously amazing! You can schedule a wedding consult with them and ask questions and bring swatches and inspo to them.
