The exciting thing about having an elopement wedding is that your ceremony can be literally almost anywhere you want it to be!  With so many beautiful and photogenic locations around St. Louis, it could be difficult to choose just one for your special day, so I'm here to help you decide.  Here are my 3 favorite St. Louis Elopement Wedding locations.

‍

Forest Park

My top choice is Forest Park, in St. Louis, Missouri. I chose this as my absolute favorite place for an elopement wedding for the reason that there are literally so many gorgeous locations to choose from, all within one park. You could get married on the Victorian Footbridge, by the Nathan Frank Bandstand (pictured below!) or even in front of the Muny. And don't forget about Art Hill and the World's Fair Pavillion! There are also any number of more private spots/hideaways off the beaten paths if you prefer a more private type of ceremony.

St. Louis Arch

The St. Louis Arch- It goes without saying that this is the most iconic spot to get married in St. Louis! You could have your ceremony on the lawn at Kiener Plaza, on the Gateway National park grounds, at the top of the Arch itself or even across the river at Malcolm W. Martin Memorial park, with unbeatable sunset views of the St. Louis Arch and St. Louis skyline.

Castlewood State Park

This gorgeous state park located in the St. Louis suburb of Ballwin is perfect for an adventurous couple who loves to hike! It's got beautiful wooded areas, and rocky bluff trails with stunning viewpoints overlooking the Meremac River that would make an absolute stunner of a location for an elopement wedding. This is for the couple who doesn't mind a short, steep hike up to a perfect platform for your elopement ceremony. This location would be beautiful any time of day but is at it's absolute best at sunrise on a fall morning.
