The wonderful weather, the ocean and the fantastic people you get to work with.
I have been involved in the wedding business for most of my life. First as a florist, then as a photographer, and now as an officiant. I also have forty seven years of a successful marriage to learn from.
Matthew, Officiant
San Diego has a lot to offer and multiple locations to elope! The weather is almost always perfect and the scenery is gorgeous.
Every time I perform or film a ceremony at Coronado it is a magical experience. The hotel make a beautiful backdrop on one side and the beach is always a great spot. The energy there is very fun and addicting!

The beautiful sky and ocean
I love Balboa Park, it’s so magical!
Read the real stories of couples who eloped in San Diego!
Shannon and Emmanuelle chose to elope in one of the most beautiful spots in San Diego: Sunset Cliffs. These natural cliffs jut out over the Pacific ocean and are known for their unbelievable sunsets (hence the name). They set up an arch and a picnic rug and brought their dog-daughter, Frida, along with them for a ceremony just the three of them. From top to bottom, this ceremony was personalized to match the style and tone of their relationship. Meet how they met, fell in love and why they chose to elope in San Diego in California.
It was kind of a mutual proposal. Once we each designed the rings we wanted together with our favorite jewelry designer (Skydog Jewelry), we were like “lets go ahead and do this!”
I just started looking up Elopement Packages online – we initially wanted to Elope somewhere a little more exotic like Bora Bora but given the COVID-19 pandemic we started looking more local and Simply Eloped popped up in the Google Searches.
The views at Sunset Cliffs looked amazing and we loved the idea of getting eloped on the beach – one of our favorite places.
We celebrated in our hotel room with our dog daughter, lots of champagne, homemade desserts, and we ordered some of our favorite foods from Postmates.
This day should be exactly what you want, how you want it – never feel bad for doing what is right for you as a couple!
Sometimes being sensible leads to wonderful things and that is the case for Lori & Jon. They wanted to skip all the large wedding stress and debt so that they could celebrate their love for each other and family. So they chose to wed on Sunset Cliffs in San Diego. Simply Eloped was there for these two every step of the way as they looked towards their future. Read more to find out how they met, their San Diego Old Town proposal and how they beat the pandemic to have the elopement of their dreams!
Lori: We wanted to stay close to home so that our kids and close family and friends could attend. We also couldn’t risk all the travel restrictions with the pandemic. Sunset Cliff was perfect.
Lori: We took a premarital counseling course online with Marriage365. Other than that, we saved all the fun activities for our honeymoon!
Lori: After our ceremony, we went back with friends and family to our Airbnb on the beach. We had a nice dinner from a local restaurant, had our first dance and cut the cake. Everyone left so that we could continue staying there for the next three nights of our honeymoon. We were able to do lots of fun things in San Diego like kayaking, indoor skydiving, couples massage, a fancy dinner and a bonfire on the beach.
Lori: You may regret a big wedding, but you’ll never regret eloping…do it!!
Isis & John have great friends who encouraged them to sign up on Bumble. It worked like a charm! These two made a massive life decision together and moved from Florida to California. So they figured why not do it right and get married? Isis was set on eloping as her parents had done (36 years and counting!). They found Simply Eloped to help them get a great start to married life. Isis & John visited Sunset Cliffs and knew that was where they wanted to exchange vows. The two of them eloped on a wonderfully cloudy day with the ocean vista behind them. We love, love, love their dog, who was as stately as anyone ought to be at a wedding. Isis & John thought their beach elopement was perfect, and so do we. Find out why they encourage everyone to give eloping a chance…
Isis: We relocated from Miami to Torrance, California. We started to look for an elopement company. The best one we found was Simply Eloped. We wish they had a location near us. However, San Diego was not that far, so we went and checked out Sunset Cliffs. We fell in love with the views. It was breathtaking!
Isis: Breathtaking! A magical place and the clouds on our wedding day made it even more special. The cliffs are beautiful!
Isis: A special moment for me was getting my hair and makeup done. The makeup artist, Brianna from Simply Eloped, was an angel. She made sure I felt comfortable and happy the day of the wedding. She played music, and we had so much fun getting ready for the wedding.
Isis: It was perfection! The pictures, Brianna, the officiant. I truly believe I would not have had such a perfect team if it were not for Simply Eloped. The team of professionals they provide is top-notch! Even the flowers were amazing. They lasted about two weeks after the ceremony!
Rasheedah & John wed in the park where they had one of their first dates. The pandemic made it easy for these two to decide on eloping at the historic Balboa Park in San Diego. The stylish couple exchanged vows among the lush gardens and picturesque terraces with family and friends looking on. We love the bride’s stunning gown and veil and her groom’s bowtie. All the adorable-looking children that attended this elopement were the icing on the cake! Read on to find out how Rasheedah & John planned this enchanting elopement with Simply Eloped!
Rasheedah: I love that he has a sense of humor and loves me for me.
John: I love that she is caring, understanding, and she loves me for being me.
Rasheedah: I liked the packages offered and the flexibility to change things if needed. Everyone was very helpful.
Rasheedah: One of our first dates was at Balboa Park, and we love going there. It felt like the best place to have our wedding.
Rasheedah: We had a family brunch at Squadron 94. Afterward, we relaxed for two days in San Diego.
Rasheedah: It was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding. Even though the wedding was on a smaller scale, it was perfect and everything that we wanted.
