Southern California Beach Wedding Packages
From LoveToKnow Weddings
Brides often go in search of Southern California beach wedding packages when they dream of an oceanside ceremony where the weather cooperates and local points of interest are in abundance.
Finding a Great Location
Before you start looking at wedding coordinators and other services who provide Southern California beach wedding packages, think about where you want to get married. Southern California contains large stretches of beaches, and from Orange County to San Diego there are plenty of gorgeous locations. For example, Carrillo State Park in Malibu is a great place if you are looking for nature as your focal point, while The Cliffs Resort in Pismo Beach offers you indoor options if you want a more elaborate day with the beach merely being the backdrop for the ceremony. Once you choose the place, you will be ready to find the perfect wedding package.
Finding Southern California Beach Wedding Packages
Once you’re ready to start selecting packages for final consideration, evaluate your priorities. What is really important to you when it comes to your ceremony and reception? How many guests do you anticipate having? What is your budget? All of these factors dictate what sort of package will work for you, and going into your planning with an organized agenda will save you time, money and stress.
The Nature Girl
If you love the great outdoors and the natural, peaceful look of the Southern California surf as your wedding ambiance, then Now and Forever Weddings at Lake Arrowhead might be a great option for you. As one of the top 10 outdoor wedding locales in Southern California, this company’s packages offer lakefront options as well as ceremonies at the south shore Beach Club. The Burnt Mill Beach Club is a private beach that offers weddings for 25-120 guests. Mountain forest weddings are also available for weddings up to 250 guests.
The Frugal Bride
For brides on a budget who still want the glamour of being married at the ocean, Southern California Beach Wedding packages will be an ideal option. Complete wedding packages start at only $8,500, and with the average wedding cost being more than twice that, you’re getting an impressive deal while realizing your beach wedding dreams. For those who want a smaller wedding, try their Toes in the Sand wedding ceremony, which starts at only $2,800. All weddings are planned and executed in San Diego and Santa Barbara.
The Princess
If anyone is familiar with magical days in Southern Calfornia, it’s Disneyland. While the Disney company doesn’t offer beachside weddings in California, many brides opt to get married inside the park and have their reception, rehearsal dinner, or morning after brunch on the beach nearby. Disney Dream Weddings can plan a true princess day, and you’ll be blown away at their professionalism and attention to detail. Warning: This is not an ideal option for a bride on a small budget – like most things Disney, you will pay big time for this magical day!
The Nautical Couple
If you and your fiancé love the open seas, then check out Hornblower Weddings based in Newport Beach. You can get married on a small boat or a yacht, depending upon your budget and guest capacity. Cruising at sunset on the Pacific Ocean is a romantic option any couple with sea legs will love.
Creating Your Own Package
If you love to plan every moment of an event and want your wedding to be truly personalized, consider skipping the coordinators altogether and planning your big day on your own. Chat with your fiancé, wedding party, and other close friends and family members to brainstorm ideas and pick out things that are symbolic for you as a couple. It may be a special type of flower, a Southern California location that is memorable, etc. Then plan your wedding accordingly, ensuring you have the best day possible.
