Even YOU could plan a spectacular wedding in under a week !

last minute weddings, spontaneous elopement, getting married in a hurry, destination beach weddings, eloping, no stress weddings, cheap wedding options

Once you've said YES, YES, YES to the man of your dreams, why not make the rest of the celebration a piece of cake? We're here to tell you that there is absolutely no need to drive yourself and those around you insane burden yourself and your beloved with lists, charts, graphs, financial statements and up to 24 months of planning and agonizing to become the new Mrs.

It's possible to create a memorable, romantic, fun, low stress and very affordable day to remember with just the few clicks of the mouse and a couple of phone calls in under a week.  Think we're making it up?     Definitely not!

With just a quick search on the internet for eloping, elopement packages or destination weddings you will see what wonderful services are available for you in a variety of locations. You'll be able to see photographs, check reputations and evaluate costs. You can see very quickly that you are no longer faced with just that Las Vegas option.  Your options available are a far cry from the cheesy little wedding chapel we've all heard about.  You'll be able to just forget about that borrowed dusty silk bouquet and the piped in fake wedding march song played way too loud. 

We're here to let you there are sunny beaches in southern California, romantic snow holidays in Tahoe and even cruises to a variety of tropical islands. Think of it…you'll be able to marry and have a fabulous honeymoon all at once. It can be just the two of you, or you'll also see that many of the options available can even include your very pushiest closest family members and friends.

When planning your elopement your main concern is that you are legally married at the end of the day. This will involve finding and researching information about obtaining a marriage license in your location of your choice, and finding an officiant to perform the ceremony. Most all elopement services you contact will be able to provide information to help you obtain your marriage license, or at least head you in the right direction. Some of the basic information to get: types of identification needed, cost of marriage license, hours of operation of the licensing location, blood work that might be needed, waiting periods, any residency requirements, witnesses, type of officiant needed to solemnize the wedding, how is the marriage license recorded and how you receive your copy of that record. We have a page on our website dedicated to the marriage license requirements in San Diego here.

Once you've got that covered, you can begin to think about what other services might need. Be sure and double check exactly what services are offered when you pay for your elopement package. Double check what you'll need and what is actually included and provided for you. Typically, you are responsible for your own airline tickets, hotels, rings and attire. However there are some all inclusive packages available that include the kitchen sink airline and hotels. It seems there are as many types of elopement packages and options as there are couples. If you choose with your heart, choosing the options that give you comfort and peace of mind, you'll have a wedding day you'll always treasure.

Here in beautiful sunny Southern California, our boutique style elopement service is called Elope San Diego and is absolutely perfect for the couple who can't wait one more minute spontaneous couple. We offer small beach elopement packages for groups of 25 or fewer. We can include fresh rose petals in the sand, gorgeous photography, a romantic personalized ceremony, the marriage license with no waiting period and even valet parking for the bride and groom, all for a very affordable price. We also offer the option of just having the "ceremony only" (none of the extras) at sunset on a windswept beach. As with most elopement packages, including ours, you can choose what works for you given your budget, style and number of guests. Best of all we can put this together in just a couple of days notice.


Why not think about eloping for a beautiful destination wedding, here in San Diego we have the perfect solution, a totally fun plan "b" for the spontaneous couple who want something really special...
hey....what do you have to lose except your mind?

First chapter in our blog

Christine and Steve Haslet on Coronado beach on their honeymoon 1987 and today! (nice 80's hair!)

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the ElopeSanDiego.com blog-

We say thanks to the thousands of brides and grooms that we have worked with over the last twenty two years.

Wow!! We have the best job on the planet! Being part of a happy celebration that joins couples together. Christine and Steve have worked together for over twenty years with couples on their happiest day. Christine photographed her first wedding in 1987 in Seattle and 1500 couples later, she still thrives on the excitement. Today she works on the very beach she spent her honeymoon.. although it took twenty years to get back. Steve officiated at his first wedding in 1988 and has performed over 2000 weddings since. Together, their travels have taken them throughout western Washington state to such locations as the Space Needle, Safeco field, the cockpit of a 737, hot air balloons, mountain tops and many, many backyards.

In 2006 after living in Seattle for 25 years (and growing weary of that NW weather), we moved to sunny southern California, settling down in San Diego. San Diego was a place we had vacationed and loved for many years. Without missing a beat, the California beach became our new "office". We started our little company called ElopeSanDiego.com . We do most all of our weddings on the public beach out behind the Hotel Del. ElopetoCoronadoBeach.com is also our domain. Our Linked-in profile is at linkedin.com/elopesandiego

Since our arrival in San Diego, we have helped over 500 couples have the most beautiful elopement ceremony right on Coronado Beach. Our weddings ceremonies are amazing, affordable and memorable. We include the photography, the flowers, the ceremony and the parking. We offer a low stress, low drama, affordable alternative for couples who travel from all over the world to be married here in San Diego.

To all of our couples who have honored us by choosing us to be a part of their celebration... we thank you!
