Why consider Eloping in Wisconsin? If you are thinking about getting married somewhere in the Midwest, then you might want to consider eloping in Wisconsin. This beautiful state has a little bit of everything including rivers, lakes and mountain regions. So, whether you are interested in a tranquil ceremony on the shores of Lake Superior, or a rustic wedding in the hardwood forests of the Northern Highland region, you are sure to find the ideal location in the Badger State!

Where to Eloping in Wisconsin

The great thing about eloping in Wisconsin is that there is so much open space to explore and enjoy. You could enjoy a lakeside ceremony, tie the knot in the mountains, or even visit some of the stunning caves. With neverending hiking trails and breathtaking meadows, if you are an outdoorsy couple, Wisconsin could be your dream elopement destination!

Let’s take a look at a few examples of where you can elope in Wisconsin. If you like the idea of exchanging your vows with a waterfall as your backdrop, Copper Falls State Park is known for its majestic waterfalls and unique ancient lava flows. Maybe a forest elopement is more your style? Kettle Moraine State Forest has some great spots to have your ceremony.

Couples who are considering a Wisconsin elopement will want to think about when to book the wedding to get the best weather for an outdoor wedding. May through October is a great window of opportunity. The weather should be warm, but the humidity isn’t too bad. As you move towards Fall you can enjoy a cooler breeze. You may want to avoid early Spring as it can be very rainy and Winter is very cold!
