Looking to elope!?

Question

My boyfriend and I are looking to elope in August and I would really like to find a great location that is professional, but not extremely expensive to get married. I don't want to do just the court house thing! Do any of you have first had experiences on great places to elope in Southern California? Thanks for your answers.

Answer 1

yes yes yes!! find a beautiful place... and find an officiant to marry you there! the wedding ceremony only takes about 15 minutes max; so places that may require a permit to marry there probably won't even notice you.

my husband and i got married in a beautiful oceanfront gazebo in south orange county, just the two of us. we found an officiant and a photographer, and paid 200 bucks for everything! and it was exactly what we wanted!

drive around... find a beach, a park, a gazebo, a hill, a mountain, anyplace that you can see yourself marrying your man; and then find someone to marry you and snap a few pictures!

i can refer you to the person who married us; but if you just google "wedding officiant in ________ (your county)" you'll have plenty to choose from. good luck!
