Elope To The Poconos & Enjoy A Mountain Retreat
The breathtaking Pocono Mountains, known as The Poconos for short, are located in the north east of Pennsylvania spanning over 2,500 square miles of thickly wooded hills and valleys which are a popular vacation destination thanks to a variety of outdoor pursuits including fishing, hunting, hiking and even skiing. The Poconos are particularly popular among visitors from New York and New Jersey, largely down to the fact that New York City is just 85 miles away. The gorgeous scenery and the easily accessible location makes eloping to The Poconos a great choice, especially for couples from the North-East.
Where to Elope in The Poconos
One of the great things about eloping to The Poconos is that it is suitable all year round. That means that you have the freedom to get married outwith the traditional ‘wedding season’ of May through August. The French Manor Inn & Spa has certainly kept this in mind when designing their elopement package which is only available from November through to the end of April. A midweek elopement costs around $1500 for up to 8 guests and includes plenty of little extras!

Why Elope to The Poconos
We can think of so many great reasons for eloping to The Poconos, that it might be easier to ask why not? The stunning natural beauty found in this region is reason enough for most people, especially those who love the outdoors. The Poconos are also very conveniently located for many couples with many major cities just a couple of hours away, although once in the heart of The Poconos it feels very much like being in the wilderness!
There is just something so romantic about being cuddled up in a mountain cabin or lodge at any time of the year. In the warmer months you can enjoy the many outdoor activities, while those eloping to The Poconos in the winter can take advantage of the cold by snuggling with their new spouse by a roaring fireplace! Why not escape the stress of the wedding day by eloping to a mountain retreat in The Poconos?
