Choosing to pass up on a traditional wedding and elope has become more popular over the years as couples are searching for more intimate ways to tie the knot. Chattanooga has an abundance of picturesque and adventurous spots to elope. If you're looking for some inspiration for your big day, check out a few of Chattanooga's most elopement-worthy spots.
Sunset Rock
Sunset Rock is very well known in Chattanooga, maybe even the most popular view in the area. Since Sunset Rock is a part of Lookout Mountain, sunset is definitely the time to go here. Because of the popularity of the spot, it's never guaranteed to have a section all to yourself. Because of this, few to no guests would be our recommendation if you're considering eloping here.

A Chattanooga landmark... the Walnut Street Bridge creates the perfect picturesque moment for any couple planning to elope. Consider opting in for an early morning ceremony to have a more private experience since the bridge can become a popular area throughout the day.
