Where to elope in the Poconos

Eloping in the Pocono Mountains is an awesome way to share your love for adventure and nature while staying close to home. We love the locations below because they allow you to celebrate your love, in nature. While some spots are perfect for a hiking/adventurous elopement, other spots are a quick walk from the parking lot, and there are a lot of spots that are perfect for a mirco-wedding with your closest family and friends.

The Poconos have plenty of versatile scenery from mountains, to wildflower fields, to forest areas and there are so many perfect spots for an intimate elopement. We are going to share here 5 of our favorites, but pride ourselves on helping each couple find their perfect location. Many of our elopement locations are not well known spots, but instead areas the couple will be able to find time alone to enjoy this special occasion quietly.
