Im not sure youll get many replies from people who have eloped and had your young daughter there but Id split your question out to 2. Eloping generally means you want to get married at short notice. not all jurisdictions will allow this, you might have to give many months notice. build up a list of countries that fit your time scale, that will narrow it down.

then theres travelling with the child. depending on how young she is the same rules apply to traveling with children no matter the event, keep them entertained. they have very little sense of occasion and even shorter timespan. you may be happy on a plane for 12 hours to vegas staring into your betrotheds eyes. A 3-4 year old will not last 3 minutes past take off making your journey painful.

Try the north. Not too far to travel at all with a baby, and it's beautiful there too.

The north only requires 1months notice, the town hall in newry is gorgeous.

You will need a babysitter of course.

If you want to keep it simple why not just have a low key civil ceremony here and then plan a honeymoon / holiday for after?

As someone said below - split the job in two.

We are getting married next month in Spain with a 19month old boy.
Nerja is the area and we have a wedding planner.

I'd never get married here as its just something we're not into.

Flynny50, we are having about 20 adults and 12ish kids, nothing too big.
I wanted the little white chapel in Vegas but she didn't, I didn't want Ireland so we decided on Spain as we where there twice before with family.

Wedding planner €1000!!!
