A Quirky All-inclusive Destination San Francisco City Hall Elopement

These days there's a whole new class of love stories, and they'll go down in history and be told to children and grandchildren for many years to come. Courtney and Benjamin are one of these couples and you might have guessed by now, that they met online during Covid! They live in Toronto Canada and were looking for an all-inclusive destination elopement package someplace that was as fun and quirky as the two of them. Naturally, San Francisco fit like a glove.

Why You Want An All-Day Elopement

What if you thought of your wedding as a luxury vacation? Just let that sink in for a moment. Luxury wedding vacation. I like the sound of that, and these days so do a lot of couples. It's the perfect opportunity to visit a new destination and make core memories together, or revisit someplace special that helped bring the two of you together in the early days of your love story.

The Six-Hour Elopement Is Here To Stay

Their wedding planning took an unexpected twist. It's 2021 so maybe every wedding story you've read recently starts out this way, but to each and every couple, their personal journey is a big deal. Doesn't it seem like you have to prove to some invisible wedding God tribunal that you really, really want and deserve to tie the knot in peace? I see you out there praying for no more guest list reduction, venue changes, and being at the mercy of endlessly changing local rules. Have hope, because another path lies on the other side of the wedding mountain. Extended elopements are the best new wedding trend of the year.
