Bailey + Joshua — A Monument Circle Elopement

Tying the Knot Downtown at Indianapolis’ Historic Monument Circle

Eloping in Indy can be a really beautiful experience and what better spot than the heart of the city right at Monument Circle? There’s something truly breathtaking about the abundance of limestone steps and history held by the monument. It creates an effortless backdrop for any downtown elopement or civil ceremony.

Choosing Indianapolis for your elopement location can make getting married as easy as pie! It can be as simple as getting your marriage license and meeting on the circle. Many couples, like Josh + Bailey, opt for Mary Me Indy’s services since they have their own office right off the circle.

If you’re thinking of choosing the Soldiers and Sailors Monument for your Indianapolis elopement, here are a few things you might want to know:
1. There is not a permit required for utilizing this downtown circle space. However, be aware that there are consistently events and tourists in the area. If you’re wanting to have privacy you may want to plan for a less crowded time like sunrise or even in the off season.
2. Parking generally isn’t available directly on the circle, your best bet would be to find parking on one of the connecting side streets or even parking at the local mall garages and walking over.
3. The downtown circle area has had a steady stream of construction happening over the last few years. It might be worth your while to venture down prior to your planned elopement to scout out the space and make sure it aligns with your vision for your short and sweet ceremony.
