Best Places to Elope in Memphis, Tennessee
That’s right, you don’t have to run off to Vegas to elope!
Elopements and intimate weddings can happen just about wherever your heart desires! And if your heart is set on Memphis, here are a few spots you may fall in love with:
Memphis Botanic Gardens
If you love the idea of having your elopement surrounded by nature, the Memphis Botanic Garden is the perfect place. The Blecken Pavilion is a gorgeous wooden chapel tucked away in the trees, but there are so many stunning places in the Memphis Botanic Garden to get married or have a simple ceremony!
Elmwood Cemetery
A cemetery might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of eloping, but once you see the chapel at Elmwood Cemetery your mind will be forever changed!
Memphis Courthouse
If you’re looking for a stunning yet simple way to elope, the Memphis courthouse is absolutely gorgeous, air conditioned, and surrounded by lots of things to do after your wedding!
[DISCLAIMER: the circuit court’s office is not currently performing weddings. We have had couples take their own officiant to the courthouse and have their ceremony there because they just loved the space and had their heart set on doing photos there.]

BEALE STREET LANDING
Beale Street Landing is a beautiful spot over looking the Mississippi River. One of the biggest perks is that it’s located right in the heart of Downtown and makes it super easy to walk to any number of spots after your ceremony!
Shelby Farms
Grab each other, your officiant, photographer, (and in The Farley’s case, their dog, Jackson) and head to Shelby Farms for a simple, sweet elopement in wide open spaces!
ANNESDALE MANSION
If you’ve fallen in love with the romantic and historic charm of Annesdale Mansion but have your heart set on an intimate wedding, then you’re in luck! Annesdale is available on weekdays for elopements and small weddings. There’s something extra romantic about having this giant mansion all to yourselves for your elopement. Madalyn and Drew even brought their fur babies, had a quick cake cutting, and champagne toast!
Elvis Presley’s Graceland
The Chapel in the Woods at Graceland is a GORGEOUS, white chapel with walls of windows. You can even take a tour of Graceland afterward together as newlyweds. We’ve had several couples take us with them on their newlywed tour and it’s always so much fun to take pictures all around Graceland!
MUD ISLAND RIVER PARK
A gorgeous view of the Memphis Bridge, the city skyline, and the River! If you’re looking for Memphis-vibes, this is THE spot.
Orion Hill
Orion Hill is a STUNNING wedding venue in Arlington, TN with indoor and multiple outdoor options for your ceremony! They are now offering special pricing for weekday elopements.
LOOKING FOR AN OFFICIANT FOR YOUR CEREMONY?
We highly recommend The God Squad if you are looking for an officiant! They perform traditional as well as non-religious ceremonies.
