Elopements and micro-weddings are on the rise and for good reason! They are small, intimate, charming and also less expensive than a traditional wedding. However, if this is the route you choose, there are some logistics to consider! This guide will help give a few pointers to help get your perfect mountain wedding day planned.

Location

This is a big one. There are so many beautiful outdoor spaces and lesser known venues that Flagstaff and Northern Arizona offers!

The Arboretum at Flagstaff

Located on 200 acres of gardens + forest.
They explicitly offer small intimate ceremonies.
Beautiful natural backdrop, especially for photos.
Little America Flagstaff
- They have an event / wedding package called “Love Among the Pines.”
- For micro-weddings, they have a package for up to 30 guests with a ceremony on their East Lawn & Ramada, and reception in a smaller room.
- Pretty luxe but also very forest-y setting since the property is surrounded by pines.
Historic / Architectural Options
- Riordan Mansion State Historic Park — Historic mansion with character.
- Brannen-Devine House — A historic Queen Anne–style house in Flagstaff.
Scenic & Natural Elopement Spots
If you're open to very small or just ceremony-only micro weddings, these are great for backdrops or minimal setups:
- Hart Prairie — Forested, secluded, mountain meadow feel.
- Buffalo Park — Near downtown, meadows + forest + views.
- Aspen Corner — Aspens that change color in the fall, very picturesque.
- Lockett Meadow — Open field, good for intimate ceremonies.
- Flagstaff Nordic Village — Rustic lodge + meadow + forest, with a lodge / yurt options.

These are just a few options— there are many more! Callista Studios Co. can help facilitate picking your perfect spot, figure out permit information and photograph every beautiful detail! Reach out to us to start planning your perfect day!
