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.

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!

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....

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.

Now that we're moving forward, there are a lot of couples that got married in the last few years but didn't get to take the wedding pictures that they'd really wanted, while other couples might want to do a vow renewal for a milestone year, or schedule an anniversary session. These are all services that we love to offer our couples.

Muir Woods Wedding Hack!
No permits, No problem!
If there's one thing in my mind that stands out as the most significant wedding trend to come out of the last few years (silver lining!!) it's the elopement trend. Not only is it a more intimate way to incubate your newborn marital status in a way that a three hundred person event could never hope to do, but by now, your friends and family have probably known countless other couples that have done the same thing and the shame and taboo of the word "elopement" have all but floated away in the San Francisco fog.

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.
