We love that we get to highlight the fantastic places that just so happen to be in our home state! It’s fun to find these little hidden gems because at first glance, one might have the crazy thought of “who would want to vacation/elope/get married/adventure in Indiana??” Okay now… we hear you and we are here to do just that! – To answer that “WHY” (in a visual way!) Let’s just started already!
First up… Why Elope in Indiana?
We love our home state for many reasons (and so do our couples!). We know there are beautiful locations elsewhere but sometimes eloping in your home state just resonates with you! Whether it be because of your budget, your timeline, or what have you, Indiana has some beautiful options for your elopement! So to anwser your question, we asked our previous Indiana elopement couples why they eloped here, and here is what they said!
- Fall- “Indiana has one of the most beautiful fall seasons, the colors are unreal! We wanted to have the colorful leaves as our backdrop!”
- Budget- “We were on a tight budget and knew we could get all that we wanted and dreamed of for our elopement right here in Indiana.”
- Location- “Our first date was actually at the state park we chose to elope at, it’s a super meaningful place to us and now we get to go back on our anniversary every year.”
The list goes on, but you can easily see why so many couples chose to elope right here in Indiana!

The price of your Indiana Elopement can vary depending on what you want to spend your money on, but we find that our couples typically spend anywhere from $3,000-$10,000 on their Indiana elopement! Either way, the average price of an Indiana Wedding right now is about $25,000-$30,000 so we think elopement obviously take the cake here!
