Frequently Asked Questions
-
You must apply for a marriage license at any NH town/city clerk’s office. There’s no waiting period, and the license is valid for 90 days. After your elopement, you’ll need to file the signed license with the same office to get your official marriage certificate.
-
Absolutely! While elopements are often “just us” experiences, many couples choose to bring a few close family members or friends. If you’re inviting guests, make sure to:
Pick a location that allows for a small group.
Consider accessibility for older family members.
Hire a photographer who is comfortable capturing both intimate and small-group moments.
💡 Pro Tip: If you want a mix of private moments and guest involvement, you can exchange vows alone and meet up with family for a celebratory dinner afterward!
-
The best time depends on the experience you’re dreaming of! Here’s a quick breakdown:
Spring (March–May): Mild temps, waterfalls flowing, and blooming wildflowers.
Summer (June–August): Great for mountain elopements, but popular spots can be busy.
Fall (September–November): Stunning foliage, crisp air, and fewer crowds—peak elopement season! 🍁
Winter (December–February): Magical snowy elopements, but some areas may be inaccessible due to weather.
💡 New Hampshire Specific: Fall is hands-down one of the best times to elope in NH, thanks to the breathtaking foliage. If you’re set on a winter elopement, plan for a cozy cabin stay and check for road closures in the White Mountains!
-
It depends on the location! Some national parks, state parks, and private venues require a permit for ceremonies and photography. You’ll want to:
Research the location’s website or call a ranger station.
Apply for a permit early if required (some take weeks to process).
Follow Leave No Trace principles to keep nature pristine for future couples.
💡 New Hampshire Specific: If you’re eloping in the White Mountain National Forest, some areas may require a special use permit. Popular spots like Franconia Notch or Mount Washington may have restrictions depending on the season and group size.
-
Elopement attire is all about comfort + style! Since many elopements involve hiking or exploring, choose:
A lightweight, flowy dress that moves beautifully in the wind.
A suit with stretch fabric (bonus points for layers in cooler weather).
Comfortable shoes (hiking boots or stylish flats are great alternatives to heels).
Weather-appropriate layers—especially for mountaintop or winter elopements.
💡 New Hampshire Specific: If you’re eloping in the mountains, bring layers! NH weather changes fast, especially in places like Mount Washington, where it can be 20–30°F colder at the summit than at the base.
