How to elope in Atlanta

The perfect mix of southern charm and a big city feel, Atlanta has just about everything you’d want in a wedding location: historic architecture, bustling city streets, and quiet enclaves filled with lush greenery and nature make Atlanta one of the best places to elope in Georgia. If you’re wondering how exactly to plan your Georgia elopement in beautiful Atlanta, look no further.

What time of year should I elope in Atlanta?

Atlanta has nice, mild winters and a colorful, vibrant fall season – both great times to explore this beautiful city. Many visit from May through August, which allows for tourists to experience outdoor activities, but spring is also a great time to elope in Atlanta! The azaleas and dogwoods are in bloom, setting the perfect tone for an intimate wedding or elopement outdoors. Summers here can be hot and muggy, with the occasional rain-shower when humidity is high, so be sure to pack accordingly!

Making your Atlanta elopement legal

Filing for your marriage license in Atlanta is a fairly straightforward process. If you’re not a resident of Georgia, you must apply for the marriage license in the county where you’ll be holding your ceremony. A form of photo identification is required (a driver’s license, birth certificate or passport all work), and there is a fee of $56 for filing the application. There is no waiting period in Georgia, which means you can receive your marriage license and hold your ceremony on the very same day!
