Pismo Beach Elopement - A Casual Day of Love
See the photos below and read more about their Pismo Beach Elopement and how our all inclusive wedding package makes it easy to plan an elopement in one day!
At Coastal California Weddings, we specialize in making wedding dreams come true—no matter the timeline. This couple had a Pismo Beach elopement that didn't include the bride wearing a traditional white dress. And, you know what? I love it when the bride wears something different than white. Once of the reasons why the bride wore a casual green dress was because the groom surprised her! Yep...she had no idea that the two of them were going to get married until they arrived in Pismo. It was a surprise trip! The bride had no problems with the surprise and even was able to do a little shopping at the Pismo Beach Outlets for some "wedding sandals. " We recently had the pleasure of coordinating a stunning elopement for a lovely couple who, with very little time to spare, wanted to say "I do" on the picturesque shores of Pismo Beach. And in just one day, we made it happen—proving that even the most spontaneous wedding ideas can become unforgettable moments.
A lot of couple's ask how long they should wait before they book their wedding. I always say the sooner the better! This couple was lucky that we were available for their ceremony. In most cases, a last minute elopement in Pismo Beach can be planned in a weeks time. For weddings with more guests, we can plan a last minute wedding in a few weeks. If you need to plan your Pismo Beach elopement quicker, just ask and we can see what we can do to help!
The Surprise That Took Everyone’s Breath Away
The bride had no idea what was coming. The groom, with only a few days to plan, contacted us with a simple request: to organize a beautiful, intimate wedding by the sea. He wanted to surprise his bride with a spontaneous beach elopement that she would never forget.
With no time to waste, we got to work immediately, tapping into our expertise and connections to pull together all the elements for a perfect day. The beauty of working with Coastal California Weddings is that we offer an all-inclusive package designed to accommodate couples who don’t have months—or even weeks—to plan their wedding. We handle everything: from the officiant and photographer to floral arrangements and even the details of the beach location.
The groom’s surprise plan began to take shape. While he managed to keep everything under wraps, we ensured that every detail aligned with the couple’s vision, even though the timeline was tight. By the time the bride arrived at the beach, everything was ready: a beautiful arch draped in white fabric and wildflowers, a photographer to capture every moment, and a sound system for the soft, romantic music that played in the background.
Stress-Free Wedding Planning, Even Last-Minute
The key to making this last-minute elopement work smoothly was our all-inclusive wedding package. From the first phone call to the final “I do,” Coastal California Weddings provided full-service coordination, so the couple could enjoy a stress-free day without worrying about a thing.

A Memorable Moment, No Matter the Timeframe
The ceremony was simple, yet incredibly moving. As the groom stood on the sand, waiting for his bride, the waves of the Pacific Ocean created a soothing soundtrack. When the bride arrived, her emotions were undeniable as she realized the surprise that awaited her. With a gorgeous ocean sunset as their backdrop, the couple exchanged vows, surrounded by a small circle of loved ones (and the occasional curious beachgoer).
The photographer captured every moment—each kiss, each smile, each laugh—as the couple celebrated their spontaneous love in the most magical way possible.
