California and Colorado Elopements

We specialize in lesser-known, outdoor sites with spectacular backdrops..

Eloping in Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz elopements have a style that is uniquely their own. Known for our balmy climate, breathtaking coastline, redwood forests, and socially liberal leanings, Santa Cruz attracts couples who consider themselves a little offbeat, nontraditional, nature-lovers who are looking for an alternative to traditional venues where they can tie the knot.

Blue Sky Santa Cruz Elopements

We’ve been offering all-inclusive elopement packages in Santa Cruz since 2002 (before elopements became popular!). We specialize in lesser-known (i.e. less crowded/more private) outdoor coastal and redwood sites that offer a spectacular backdrop for your intimate wedding. We combine that with our award-winning photography and other topnotch wedding vendors (officiants, videographers, florists, and hair and makeup artists) and top off the whole thing with our hands-on coordination services that leave no detail to chance. We’ll even make all your travel arrangements for you if you like.

If you’re envisioning:
  • A simple elopement-style wedding in a breathtaking Santa Cruz beach or redwood location
  • Stunning professional photography
  • Actually enjoying your wedding day (What a concept!)
And you want
  • Access to our handpicked Santa Cruz elopement professionals
  • An all-inclusive Santa Cruz elopement package
  • A private ceremony venue that will keep you out of the eyes of onlookers
  • A local elopement wedding planner to handle all of the details for you
  • A totally stress-free elopement experience!
