Sunrise - Eloping in Atlantic City

Atlantic City is the perfect destination for couples looking to elope, or even to hold a traditional marriage ceremony. Its stunning scenery and panoramic views make it an ideal place to celebrate your special day in style. But beyond that, Atlantic City is also a great spot for fun activities and entertainment options.

Things to Do While You’re in Town

You can visit some of the luxurious casinos and resorts.  How about a delicious meal in any one of literally hundreds of restaurants in the resort town, both casual and top end?  Or a stroll on the beach to enjoy the sunshine, ocean breeze and maybe collect some shells?   And the boardwalk attractions are so much fun.   My point is that there’s no shortage of enjoyable things to do in Atlantic City.  It’s the perfect place to sneak off and tie the knot or for a memorial getaway or both!

Not only will you and your soon-to-be spouse have an unforgettable and splendid time, but if you choose to have any friends or family attend the event you can be certain that they will have no trouble keeping themselves entertained while you’re off “being a married couple”.

Where to Stay

If you stay in a casino and decide not to venture down to the gambling floor to place any bets, you can still have a great time.  Non-gamblers stay in casinos all the time.   If you prefer a non-gambling environment there are many fine hotels and motels to choose from, some directly on the boardwalk.

Here’s an article that will give you an idea of some good “Non-Casino Hotels in the Atlantic City Area.”

Although Atlantic City is a gambling town, there are many other places to stay and things to do outside of the casino hotels.  From sumptuous buffets and fine dining or iconic restaurants, to live music and entertainment venues, there is no shortage of ways for you to have a good time during your stay.

PACKAGES

There are numerous wedding packages available in Atlantic City that are perfect for couples who want to keep their wedding ceremony private. These packages often include officiant services, flowers, photography, and even a romantic dinner or getaway afterward.

With all these options in mind, eloping to Atlantic City could be the perfect way to start your life together.

Almost all Casino Hotels offer wedding packages, but possibly not elopement packages due to the short notice that is the indicative of elopement.   Be sure to check around.
