Happy New Year and Congratulations on your Engagement! Embrace Unique Options for Your Next Step.

We did it! Welcome to 2024—a fresh start, a chance to hit the reset button. Let’s collectively give ourselves a big high five for making it through to this New Year with a big sigh of relief—lol. As we embark on this new year, we also want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the couples who got engaged over the holidays.

Reflecting on the challenges of the past year, it was undeniably tough, but love prevailed. Weddings took on new dimensions, with couples embracing adventure and creativity in planning their special day, opting for intimate settings in beautiful places. Elopements and weddings unfolded in national parks, picturesque beaches, and backyard havens—some created by nature and others by the loving hands of family and friends. Each celebration was unique, offering couples an extraordinary day without compromising on any details.

Some of our favorite wedding options emerged out of necessity but have now become integral to the new way of celebrating unions. Despite being smaller versions of the traditional big day, they are no less amazing or meaningful. In fact, some of these new options are downright stunning, even if they require a bit more planning. But hey, that’s where we come in!

Considering a backyard wedding doesn’t necessarily mean utilizing your own backyard. Explore alternatives like booking an Airbnb, which can make your destination wedding easier to navigate and provide accommodation for your VIP guests. Many Airbnbs boast beautiful backyards, whether it’s a beach, mountains, or even in another country.

For stunning landscapes, our national parks are perfect options. You couldn’t ask for a better backdrop, and these parks often provide accommodations for your guests to enjoy post-“I Do’s.” In California alone, you have plenty of choices, from Yosemite National Park (www.yosemite.com) to Joshua Tree for desert lovers. The state’s beautiful beaches offer unique hideaways for elopements, including our favorites like Laguna Beach, Crescent Bay, and right here in Oxnard and Ventura.

Whatever you choose, make your day a truly memorable one by staying true to your unique love story as a couple. From all of us to all of you, CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉
