Many people dream and fantasize about their future wedding and all the little details. Regardless of what your vision may be, we believe that every couple deserves an unforgettable wedding day. Today it is easier than ever to take this romantic milestone to a place that rivals love stories of old in both rich beauty and history. Whether you are looking for a scenic elopement or a grand destination wedding, Moab is the perfect place for you! 

Where to start?

Before diving into the details, we recommend you decide how many guests will attend the wedding. Oftentimes your venue will be based on the invite list and how many people are present. Would you prefer a smaller, intimate wedding with only your closest friends and family? Or would your wedding feel incomplete without your extended relatives and those that grew up with you? This is a personal decision that depends on what your and your significant other want for your wedding day. However big or small you decide, there are plenty of spectacular locations suited for what you want. 

A Remote Destination For An Intimate Group

Moab is well known for its towering, beautiful arches. Arches National Parks has nine locations designated for wedding ceremonies within the park. These range in size from 3-80 guests, including the couple and the photographer. If this sounds like the perfect place for you and your loved one to say “I do”, be sure to get a permit as soon as possible. The permit and application fee costs $185 dollars and some specific regulations apply. This is a great way to save a little money and have a breath-taking ceremony. Just imagine standing under a naturally made wedding arch filled with a beautiful array of earth’s colors. These stunning arches are sure to make for a picture-perfect day.
