5 Enchanting Elopement Ideas for Your Big Day

Planning the perfect intimate ceremony is easy when you have a few elopement ideas to get you started. And every detail — big or small — counts toward making your special day memorable. From timing your ceremony to choosing the right elopement ceremony package and the best activities for your romantic Wisconsin getaway, we’ve got the scoop to transform your wedding dreams into a dreamy wedding reality. So, let’s get started.

The perfect time to elope depends on your personal preferences. You could elope any time of year. However, some times of year add a dash of seasonal charm, enchantment, and opportunities for more quiet moments together than others. Winter is one of them.

Yes, the temperatures are less conducive to a dip in the lake. However, you can still enjoy plenty of outdoor activities and events — and some that you can only enjoy during this time of year. Romantic snowshoeing hand-in-hand? Check!

Best of all is the privacy a winter elopement affords you. Summertime is busier. Busier means more people to greet, meet, and maneuver around. During winter, the crowds are fewer, giving you more private time together, enjoying each other’s company.

One of the biggest questions on any betrothed couple’s minds is, “Where can we get married that’s affordable yet beautiful while giving us a way to make our special day and honeymoon unforgettable?” While we might be a tad biased, we think Justin Trails Resort is an over-the-moon destination for anyone ready to tie the love knot! After all, we’re more than just a Sparta wedding venue perfect for a quaint elopement; we are also big enough to accommodate up to 125 guests.

Oh, and there’s plenty to do here, too. So, once you say, “I do,” you can cozy up in a room or one of our stunning private romantic Wisconsin cabins — the ultimate blend of rustic elegance for two, and make the most use of our 200+ acre property! There are trails to hike or snowshoe, adorable llamas begging for attention, foosball, disc golf, and more. Oh, and we have a firepit so you can snuggle under the stars, search for constellations, and sip on hot cocoa or toast marshmallows.

Ready to make your Sparta elopement dreams come true but unsure if it’ll fit within your budget? Worry not! We offer three convenient, affordable elopement packages to add to your stay. Each package offers something different and exudes elegance, romance, and enchantment, making your day unique and memorable. So, decide which package best fits your preferences, desires, elopement dreams, and budget.

 

There are many ways to make your honeymoon unforgettable. Most of all, it’s about spending those first few days or the week together. So, we encourage you to enjoy our property. Sit by the bonfire ring at night and gaze at the stars. Enjoy some wine and toast each other and the new milestone of your love story. Go hiking or snowshoeing on our trail system or one of the many other hiking trails in the area. You’ll explore a private winter wonderland in the solitude of nature.

Of course, if you want to head off property, there are plenty of things to do in the community. One great way to spend the day is at one of our local wineries with a flight of fine wine for a tasting adventure and good company!

While a Cinderella carriage ride might be another charming and romantic activity, it’s also a unique experience deserving of its own section of this article. Want a fairytale experience? This is it! Ride in a gorgeous carriage fit for a queen or king — no magic wands, glass slippers, or fairy godmothers needed. This magical ride is the perfect complement to any romantic union.

From the glitter of fresh snow to warm and toasty cabins, these elopement ideas are perfect for your intimate winter ceremony. So go ahead and embrace the magic of the season and the charm of our resort, and create some lasting memories together. Justin Trails Resort is the Sparta wedding venue where your dreams come true. So book your elopement and reserve your stay. Then grab your partner and head to Sparta!
