An elopement should feel like the two of you—quiet, personal, and free from everything that doesn’t matter.
We’ve been planning California elopements since 2002, refining an approach that keeps the day simple,
meaningful, and focused on what matters most. Just as important as how it feels is how it’s captured—so
you come away with images that reflect the day honestly, not just how it looked, but how it actually felt.
We focus on a small number of locations in Big Sur, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco that offer a balance of
natural beauty, privacy, and accessibility. These aren’t just places that look good in photos—they’re
locations we know well, where we can create an experience that feels calm, intentional, and truly your own.
Big Sur offers some of the most dramatic landscapes in California—from cliffs overlooking the ocean to
redwood groves just inland. It’s a natural choice for couples who want something breathtaking and expansive
along the coast, or quiet and grounded beneath the trees.
Santa Cruz contains a mix of coastal and redwood settings, with locations that are accessible while still
offering privacy for your elopement. From ocean views to quiet forested areas, it gives you a range of
options within the same region.
San Francisco City Hall offers a completely different kind of elopement—architectural, refined, and centered
in one of the most iconic buildings in California. With its grand staircase, natural light, and elegant
interiors, it creates a setting that feels both timeless and intentional.
It’s a good fit for couples who want something polished and straightforward, all in one place.
The Bay Area offers a quiet redwood setting, with locations surrounded by towering trees and filtered light
that create a more enclosed, peaceful atmosphere. It’s a setting that feels removed and grounded, while still
being easy to reach.
It’s a good fit for couples who are drawn to the redwoods and want something calm and private, with a location
that also works well for up to 10 guests.
Whether you already have a location in mind or are still deciding between options, we’ll walk you through the next steps and help you choose the right fit. From there, everything moves forward in a way that’s organized, efficient, and easy to navigate.
Elopements begin at $4,470.

I would highly recommend Blue Sky Elopements to others who want a memorable, stress free elopement in California. Even when we had to change the date and ceremony location due to the pandemic, they made it stress free. Maureen was quick to provide us with alternate locations, and she helped us select a beautiful redwood location. We appreciated the consistent communication and organization throughout the whole process. From the very beginning Maureen and her team did a great job at letting us know what to expect and made sure all of our questions were answered. All of the vendors they picked for us were very professional and great to work with including the photographer, officiant, and hair/makeup artist. The flowers were also beautiful. We want to thank everyone involved in making our elopement such a special day.
