Say “I Do” in the Hills of Brown County

Golden leaves, quiet wooded trails and sweeping overlooks. Brown County is one of Indiana’s most romantic places to elope, and we would love to help you make it yours.

Whether it’s just the two of you or a small gathering of your favorite people, your day deserves to feel personal, relaxed and completely you. We take care of the details so you can simply soak it all in.

Here’s how we make it special:

  • A custom ceremony written just for the two of you, reflecting your story, style and beliefs
  • Your ceremony led by one of our experienced officiants
  • Guidance on how to obtain your marriage license and the return process
  • A professional photographer, if you’d like every moment captured

From the Nature Center Overlook to a cozy cabin in the woods or a charming Nashville venue, we know Brown County’s most beautiful spots and can’t wait to help you find yours.

    The North Lookout Tower is one of Brown County State Park’s classic scenic stops, with wide views over the rolling hills and forest below. It’s an easy spot to reach, works well for a small ceremony, and in the fall the color from up here is hard to beat.

    Brown County Nature Center Overlook

    The Nature Center has an outdoor amphitheater you can reserve for guests or just for a private ceremony with yourself, our Wedding Officiant, and a photographer!  The beautiful location overlooks Brown County State Park’s nearly 16,000 acres of majestic forest –  a truly gorgeous backdrop and one to remember.

    Indiana University Campus, Bloomington

    About 25 minutes from Nashville, IU’s campus is one of the prettiest in the Midwest, with limestone buildings, wooded paths and gardens around every corner. The Rose Well House, tucked in Dunn’s Woods near the Sample Gates, is a lovely spot for a small ceremony, and the Sample Gates make a classic backdrop for photos.

    Bean Blossom Covered Bridge

    Just 15 minutes north of Brown County State Park, the historic Bean Blossom Covered Bridge, built in 1880, is one of the most charming backdrops in Brown County. Its rustic red timbers and wooded surroundings make it a favorite for ceremonies and photos, especially in the fall.
