We have been Coronado Island wedding planners and wedding officiants since 2005, and we have tons of experience! We are local San Diegans that live and work in the coastal areas, so we are very familiar with the ebb and flow of the general public at various times of the year at our coastal, cliffside and park locations, as well as the many rules and regulations that govern a Coronado Island wedding or vow renewal ceremony.

Our couples never have to worry about their photographer showing up late or not at all, a wilted bridal bouquet or embarrassing moments when a Lifeguard asks for your permit, and you don't have one because the out-of-town company you hired said you didn't need one. When you enlist us to help with your Coronado Island wedding or vow renewal, you can be assured you are receiving honest and accurate info while being supported by an experienced wedding planner who will always be there to help you!

If you wish to be legally married in San Diego, you will have to get a California marriage license. Our officiants are not able to sign off on a license from out of state, so both parties must appear together with their ID at any California County Clerk office. You can get your marriage license from the County Clerk anywhere in California and you can be married anywhere in California. More about the process for obtaining your California marriage license is on our website. Click Here for Marriage License Info!

The actual ceremony will run about 20 minutes but is dependent on the ceremony that you choose from our Ceremony & Vows Library and how long your wedding or renewal vows are. You and your guests will have access to to the wedding site for one hour from the scheduled ceremony time so there is plenty of time for the ceremony and photos, and to just enjoy the view!

No. Unfortunately, we do not allow outside decorations, tables, arches, chairs or signage to be bought onto the wedding site. Couples are welcome to bring their own wedding party flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages), but we do not allow any outside florists at the wedding site, nor do we allow outside flowers to be placed on the arch, chairs or in the aisle. We are a "one-stop shop" with an extensive inventory of wedding decor, as well as a full-service Flower Shop where we create custom-designed florals for our couples.

No. Everything we do is super simple and straightforward so a wedding rehearsal is not necessary. We will provide an arrival schedule and detailed itinerary with information on the processional, the actual ceremony and the recessional so everyone is familiar with the process. Just show up dressed and ready to be married, and we will make sure everything is smooth and stress-free so you can enjoy your Coronado ceremony.

Of course! There is parking at all Coronado Beach, Centennial Park & Bayview Park wedding locations. However, parking at the beaches, specifically, can be a bit of a pain, especially on the weekends and during the summer months. A car service, limousine or group transportation, is a good option, if you have the budget. Uber or Lyft are also easy services to get you to and from the wedding site and will help keep things stress-free. However you decide to arrive at your Coronado Island wedding is completely up to you!

There are public restrooms at Coronado Beach and Hotel del Coronado, but they are a long walk from the wedding site. There are no restrooms at or nearby Centennial Park or Bayview Park. It is a good idea to inform your guests that restrooms are not readily available at the Coronado locations. If restrooms are an important requirement, just ask us about other locations that have public restrooms onsite.

No! Both alcohol and smoking are prohibited at the Coronado Island beach and park locations.

San Diego's weather is pretty awesome all year long but during our rainy season (Nov - April) there will be an increased chance of precipitation. We are not able to set up our wedding equipment in the rain, and our photographers are not able to shoot in the rain, even if it is just sprinkling. Since we are a small, family-owned company and only do one wedding per day, we are able to be flexible and can accommodate a change in plans if Mother Nature is feeling moody and we are not able to hold the wedding at the beach, park or cliffside as planned. We offer a reschedule option, a covered outdoor location, or an indoor location option in case of rain.
