We believe that weddings should be simple!  Many times couples get so caught up in the wedding planning details. A wedding should be a celebration of love.  If at the end of the day, you are married to the one you love, then everything went perfectly!

• Selecting a beautiful backdrop – When you choose a location that is already beautiful, there is no need for a lot of extras decorations.  Start with the bright blue ocean, add in the white sand, then maybe the cliffs and tide pools and you have a beautiful backdrop for your wedding day.  Picture yourself standing under an ocean front gazebo with panoramic views of the Pacific. Or an intimate winery setting with green vines, rolling hills in the background and oak trees.
• Choosing an all inclusive package – All inclusive packages mean they have everything that you need for your wedding ceremony. Our packages include the location, the officiant to marry you,  bridal bouquet, planning, photography, and more.   Having all the details of the ceremony done for you can have a stress free wedding ceremony!  We take care of all the details so you can worry about the fun parts. Otherwise,  you’d need to talk to the wedding planner, venue, officiant, photographer, florist, and probably a few other people.  You talk to me, the wedding planner, about your wedding details and then I meet with my team to go over the details.
• Having someone else do the planning – Having all the details of the ceremony done for you means you talk to one person who plans your whole wedding ceremony! Otherwise,  you’d need to talk to the wedding planner, venue, officiant, photographer, florist, and probably a few other people.  You talk to just the wedding planner about your wedding details and then they meet with the Coastal California Weddings team to go over the details.
• Focusing on what is important – The most important part of the day is making a commitment to each other. It’s about getting married. A perfect quote is, “I want a marriage more beautiful than my wedding.”  Sometimes extra details get in the way of what is important.  Remember, your wedding day is just one day out of the rest of your lives together.  Keep it simple and just focus on the love you have and your wedding will simply be amazing!
• Keeping it small – Invite guests that really mean something to the two of you.  Who are those people that you really want at your wedding?  Don’t invite guests just because you feel like you need to, invite guests who are happy and excited for you to get married. I always say – invite those people who took the time to call or text you on your birthday.
• Not waiting to get married –  If you have decided now is the time to get married, then just go for it.  Why wait when you are in love!  We can plan your wedding in as little as a few weeks, all the way up to a year before the big day.
• Not breaking the bank – A simple wedding is most likely a budget friendly wedding. This means you can have more money for a honeymoon or more money for things important things. It also means you don’t have to start off your marriage with debt from a large wedding.
