Katherine + Saverio — A Romantic Downtown Indianapolis Civil Wedding
An Indianapolis Elopement Spent Tying the Knot Downtown on the Circle and Ending at Newfields’ Gardens
Eloping in a city like Downtown Indianapolis offers a unique and exciting experience for couples looking to tie the knot in an unconventional way. While traditional weddings have their charm, there are several benefits to choosing a wedding elopement in the heart of Indianapolis and that’s just what Katherine + Saverio did on this lovely spring day!
One of the major advantages is the vibrant atmosphere and picturesque backdrop that downtown Indianapolis provides at every corner. The iconic Downtown Circle, with its stunning architecture and bustling city life, sets the stage for a memorable elopement ceremony. Whether it's exchanging vows against the backdrop of towering building or capturing intimate moments in charming nooks, this setting adds an element of modernity and sophistication to your special day in an effortless way.
We truly had the best time strolling the downtown streets of Indy after they signed their paperwork! The buzz of the city seemed to be right under our feet, taking us from one cozy spot to the next. After taking our laps through the city we decided to relocate to the oasis known as Newfields Gardens. A spot equally romantic and serene, making capturing those final bridal portraits a breeze!
5 Tips if You’re Planning to Elope in Indianapolis:
First things first, don’t forget the legal side of things — you’ll want to apply for your wedding license before showing up for your downtown elopement. If you need some help getting started, this is what you’re looking for!
Make sure to visit prior to the big day, if possible! With numerous hotels, restaurants, and entertainment options within walking distance, you can easily plan your elopement ceremony while ensuring that you’ll have plenty of activities to enjoy before or after the celebration. By visiting before your getaway nuptials, you’ll gift yourself the gift of peace of mind when it comes time!
Consider the time of day you’d most enjoy the city; there are so many moving parts to city life! Ask yourself if you’d prefer to get married amidst the hustle bustle of rush hour or wait for the city to quiet? Do you want full sun illuminating your faces or perhaps the soft sunrise over the skyline?
Lock in an officiant! There are several great ones available in the area or you can bring your own ordained person. Several downtown locations are open to you tying the knot as a small party without having to pay rental/space fees.
Have fun + let your plans reflect you as a couple; this is your day after all! Elopements are meant to be less stress and more about just soaking one another up without the distractions of planning something on a larger scale. This grants yourself the freedom to design the day to be true to who you are as a couple!
