Elope in San Diego

How did you propose or accept the proposal?

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!”

How did you find Simply Eloped?

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.

What attracted you to eloping at Sunset Cliffs in San Diego?

The views at Sunset Cliffs looked amazing and we loved the idea of getting eloped on the beach – one of our favorite places.

How did you celebrate after?

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.

What words of encouragement do you have for those considering eloping?

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!

What attracted you to the venue you eloped at?

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.

What did you do before the wedding? How did you prepare? HOw did you feel leading up to the moments of your elopement?

Lori: We took a premarital counseling course online with Marriage365. Other than that, we saved all the fun activities for our honeymoon!

How did you celebrate after your elopement?

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.

What words of encouragement do you have for those considering eloping?

Lori: You may regret a big wedding, but you’ll never regret eloping…do it!!

What attracted you to the venue you chose for your elopement? What were your favorite parts about eloping there? 

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!

How would you describe your elopement venue to someone who has never been there?

Isis: Breathtaking! A magical place and the clouds on our wedding day made it even more special. The cliffs are beautiful!

What did you do before the wedding? How did you get ready? How did you feel in the moments leading up to your elopement? 

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.

How was your experience with Simply Eloped? 

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!

What do you love about your partner?

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.

How did you know Simply Eloped was the right fit for you?

Rasheedah: I liked the packages offered and the flexibility to change things if needed. Everyone was very helpful.

What attracted you to the venue you chose for your elopement?

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.

How did you celebrate after your elopement? 

Rasheedah: We had a family brunch at Squadron 94. Afterward, we relaxed for two days in San Diego.

What words of encouragement do you have for those considering eloping?

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.
