Great Places to Elope in Texas
They say everything is bigger in Texas, but that isn’t necessarily true when it comes to weddings! Every year when we collate our list of the top 25 States to Elope and the Best Places to Elope, Texas always features high on the list! So, with that in mind let’s look at some of the great places to elope in Texas!
Big Bend National Park
If you are a couple who enjoys the great outdoors, then you may enjoy eloping to one of the largest and most remote national parks in the country – Big Bend National Park! With stunning backdrops, breathtaking sunsets, and a clear star-lit sky this is a venue that has everything you could ask for! Just don’t forget you will need to secure a special use permit from the National Park Service.
Monahans Sandhills State Park
If you fancy a desert-style wedding, look no further than the so-called ‘Sea of Sand’! Just half an hour’s drive from Odessa, Monahans Sandhills State Park offers 3 acres of sand dunes! Unlike national parks, you won’t need a special use permit, but you do have to let them know ahead of time and there may be certain restrictions, such as no throwing confetti!
Texas Hill Country
When it comes to great places to elope in Texas, you will find plenty of options in the Texas Hill Country! Paniolo Ranch is one of the venues that features year after year on our best of WhereToElope.com awards! The elegant landscaped gardens are a big hit with eloping couples and the ranch offers a full resort experience which is unusual for the area. Another great option in Texas Hill Country is Barons Creekside in Fredericksburg. Choose from several different ceremony spots on the property and then spend your wedding night snuggled up in a romantic cabin complete with Jacuzzi and Fireplace!
