Places to Elope in Page, Arizona

These are my favorite places to elope around Page, Arizona. If you’re considering eloping in the Page, Arizona area, here are some great locations to check out!

Page is a tiny town in Northern Arizona. It’s about a 5 hour drive from the Phoenix airport and a 5 hour drive from the Las Vegas airport. It’s also right on the Utah/Arizona border, so Zion, Kanab, and Bryce Canyon National Park are only a few hours from Page.

Because it’s such a small town, there isn’t much of a night life, but the expanse of desert landscape provides plenty of options to choose to get married in.

Lake Powell

Most of Lake Powell actually sits in Utah, but Page is the biggest town.

Because the Lake is so large, there are endless possibilities to choose from. The photo above is actually on the Utah side, about 2 hours Northeast of Page. You need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to access it, but it’s worth the trip for the serene atmosphere and breathtaking views.

(If you want to learn where the exact pin of this spot is, get in contact with me! I try really hard to keep quiet places as quiet as possible)

If you want to hold your ceremony closer to the lake, check out Lone Rock Beach Campground.

Lake Powell is being heavily affected by the drought in the southwest, so the water levels are dangerously low. We’re hoping that the rains in Colorado, Utah and Arizona pick up so we can keep enjoying this beautiful lake!

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe Bend is one of Arizona’s best views. It’s increasing in popularity with the tourists, but the stunning views are absolutely worth it. There’s also plenty of space to spread out, and the permit process to hold a ceremony at Horseshoe Bend is very straightforward.

I’ve actually already written a blog giving tons of details about getting eloping at Horseshoe Bend, so you can see all of that info HERE.

Kayak to Antelope Canyon

Because of the pandemic, most of the slot canyons are very strict about their visitor policies. No weddings are currently allowed in the main section of Antelope Canyon where they give the tours. In Waterhole Canyon and Canyon X, weddings are allowed but you must wear a mask the entire time.

That’s why I steer my clients toward the back side of Antelope Canyon. The only way to access it is to kayak in.

Lake Powell Kayak Rentals

My favorite kayak rental companies are:

• Outdoor Adventure Rentals ($30/day for a single kayak; $40/day for a double kayak). You need to have a car or truck that you can strap the kayak on the top, because these kayaks aren’t located by the boat launch. They help you, and it’s actually very easy. They provide paddles and life jackets.
• Kayak Lake Powell. ($50/day for a single kayak; $65/day for a double kayak). You need to drop by the store to pick up life jackets, but you meet the kayaks at the boat launch, so you don’t need to strap anything to the top of your car.

The kayak trip is about 7 mile total, 3.5 to the canyon, and 3.5 back. It takes about an hour and a half to kayak one way, and if you aren’t used to kayaking, your arms will be pretty sore!

Hiking through Antelope Canyon

After kayaking through the canyon, you reach a sandy bank where you have to walk the rest of the way.

The hike is about 2 miles to the end, taking you through the slot canyons that get narrower the further you walk.

My biggest recommendation is to bring water shoes! You will have to step in water to park the kayak. If it has rained recently, the hike will be pretty muddy in some spots, and you may even have to wade through ankle or calf deep puddles.

It is possible to kayak in your wedding or formal clothes without gettin them wet, but many of my couples choose to pack their clothes in bags. If you go pretty early, there usually aren’t very many other people in the canyon so you can change freely within the canyon.

Helicopter to the top of Tower Butte

Ok, confession: I’ve never actually shot at the top of Tower Butte. But it IS possible, and people do get married at the top of the stand alone tower in the middle of Lake Powell!

If you adventurous enough to ride a helicopter to Tower Butte for your elopement, reach out! I’d love to go through all the details.

Helicopter Companies to check out

Check out Papillon helicopter tours, the starting rate is $250 for the day.
