Samantha and John had their elopement ceremony at the beautiful DC War Memorial in Washington DC in May. The DC War Memorial is a powerful and memorable place for an elopement: arches, the names of the fallen District of Columbia citizens who served during World War I, and trees foster something special. Permit fee and processing time apply. Reserving your date with Simply Eloped does not guarantee we have been approved for the permit with the National Park Service, so we ask that you have a backup date just in case!
