I was very excited when Nathan and Popsi called me to say that they'd gotten a permit for the early morning wedding ceremony slot at Muir Woods National Monument. I was intrigued by their willingness to bring Nathan's family and Popsi's good friend out to the early morning forest. Because her family lives in Asia, they'll be having a destination wedding there, so her side of the family can join in the celebration. If you plan to have a wedding overseas, you'll want to get legally married in the United States first, and a Muir Woods elopement wedding is a very nice way to do that.

When John and Richard met twenty years ago at Pride weekend in London, they knew right away that they had something special. After a year of long-distance dating, they decided to live together and twenty years flew by in the blink of an eye. When they reached out to me from England to plan their destination elopement for their twentieth anniversary (plus one long-time friend as their witness!), I was so excited to show them the best of everything that San Francisco and the Bay Area had to offer for their wedding. They knew they wanted a San Francisco elopement planning company that really knew SF City Hall inside and out, and we did all of the wedding planning for the two of them.

Like so many modern love stories, Anne and Matt met on Tinder in Switzerland, where they both lived on the same side of town. Matt had also just signed up in January 2023, and they matched with each other very quickly! Right from the start they had chemistry and started writing to each other for hours each day during lockdown.

One of the most popular requests that we receive, is from couples looking for a quiet cliffside area overlooking a beautiful beach with crashing waves. It features high bluffs, with paths worn by other guests, making it easy to access the prettiest spots. Located just a short twenty-minute drive from San Francisco, Montara State Beach is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

When you were planning your wedding, you probably heard people tell you that it was "a once in a lifetime" magical day. But what if it doesn't have to be?

Pride month was founded on June 28, 1970, and I would turn three years old the next day. At the time, I had no idea that this unofficial holiday would become a symbol both personally and nationally for anybody who wanted to celebrate the joy and freedom of being their authentic self.  There are currently 1.2 million same-sex households in America, and that number is growing every year.  I'd love to send a big "Happy Pride" and a rainbow hug to each and every one of you celebrating Pride in the month of June. 

I received a phone call from Jessica, who wanted us to help her work out the plans for their very intimate wedding in Carmel. They loved the outdoors and had spent many happy weekends hiking the Carmel and Big Sur trails with their beloved dog. They thought that having a low-key pop-up wedding near the beach would be a very comfortable experience for them. They started looking around at Carmel, California wedding packages and were having a hard time finding everything they wanted and still keeping within their budget.

Forget the stress of creating a traditional wedding, and head outside for your pop-up wedding with a customized luxury picnic! Everyone knows that it's healthy to be surrounded by nature, and nothing feels better than getting married with a gentle breeze and birds singing while you look into your finance's eyes and say your wedding vows to each other. Where's the best place to have a pop-up wedding picnic? Anywhere that feels good to you, is the perfect spot!

This whimsically named beach and park, has been a favorite location for engaged couples planning to get married for many, many decades. We've worked with several couples whose parents also got married at this very same location! This gem of a wedding destination is located in Pacific Grove California, tucked right between Monterey and Carmel.

A wedding ceremony for the dreamers and the rebels, the mystical ones and those who consider themselves spiritual, but not necessarily religious. The elements of this rite of passage are a combination of Crystals, Numerology, and old-world Celtic tradition. Interpreted, for the new millennium. Let us tell you more....

Couples from all over the world flock to the California coasts for their dream weddings. From simple beach weddings with a stunning ocean view to larger wedding venue rentals, this beautiful area offers it all.  Andi and her husband were lucky enough to have a historic family-owned home with a private backyard located in Monterey California. The logistics were perfect for getting ready for their big day, and the big shindig afterward! They chose black and white with dusty rose for their color theme, and lots of forest details, as the family home is surrounded by big trees.
