Elope in Downtown Mystic
Mystic has long drawn couples who value meaningful escapes over packed itineraries; a place where history, water, and quiet beauty create a setting that feels personal, timeless, and effortlessly romantic. The harbor, the drawbridge, and the walkable streets tell a story of a New England seaport shaped by time. With so much meaning imbued in every stay, it’s little wonder why elopements have become increasingly popular for couples in New England.
An elopement in Mystic is an intentional choice, rooted in place, and free from excess, allowing the focus to stay where it belongs: On the commitment you are making and the experience you are sharing. From waterfront moments to upscale, romantic dinners, Mystic offers an effortless backdrop for your wedding day.
If you’re looking for the ultimate destination to elope in Mystic, look no further than our iconic downtown Mystic Hotel. As an iconic lodging property located at the center of downtown, our hotel offers a rare balance of intimacy, character, and polish. With six distinct buildings, thoughtfully designed accommodations, and views that stretch across the river and Bascule Bridge, The Whalers Inn allows couples to shape an elopement that perfectly reflects their style.
What truly sets an elopement at The Whalers Inn apart is the way hospitality and experience come together. Award-winning dining at The Shipwright’s Daughter provides an unforgettable setting for a wedding dinner, while additional spaces throughout the property offer options for private toasts, intimate gatherings, or a relaxed evening overlooking downtown Mystic. The team approaches elopements with the same care given to every stay; attentive, discreet, and deeply invested in creating something that feels authentic.

Create Your Own Wedding Bands!
With Marquis Designs
If you’re the kind of couple who likes to DIY, book an engagement ring or a wedding band workshop where one or both partners are assisted by a husband and wife duo, Cal & Emily at Marquis Designs, to design and fabricate rings for each other.
They invite the happy couple to stop by their studio in Stonington or schedule a call/video for a free consultation. This is when the design of the rings will be discussed. They will facilitate the ordering of any special materials (IE: gold/platinum & stones) at market value during the meeting with the couple, and schedule the private lesson. They prefer a minimum of 1 week between consultation & lesson.
The lead-up to the wedding can feel like a whirlwind; slow down and spend an afternoon by the shore, working with your hands side by side with your partner.
Prices starting at $695 + materials.. The studio is available for other classes and commissions as well. To book contact emarquisdesigns@gmail.com. Visit their website for more details!
