Capital Park is one of my favorite locations to do a pop in elopement in Detroit. You can easily use the park with the city skyline as your backdrop to say I Do and sign your marriage license. Plus it's located by some of my favorite coffee stops - Dessert Oasis Coffee! 

This historic old church turned coffee shop is the perfect church wedding vibes for the alt couple who enjoys coffee, pastries and historic buildings. Let's gather at a table, sign your marriage license and say I do, right at the table - quick, casual and for the price of a cup of coffee. 

If you know me, you know I love a good alley wedding! I love popping into Parkers Alley on a weekday early morning to avoid most crowds and to say I do with you. 

Okay, I know I said no planning but I like to give options for your elopement in Detroit. The Monarch Club does offer rental for private events. If you like a little organization, top notch service and amazing city views I can't say enough good things about the Monarch Club in Detroit.
