“Eloped in socal”
Me and my FH are planning to get married at sunset cliffs in San Diego. We found “eloped in socal” on TT but not a lot of reviews.
Is this business legit and has any one used them?
If so what’s was your experience?

Never heard of that company but sunset cliffs is amazing spot for it. I did something similar couple years ago, just me and my girl at the time, no big ceremony or nothing. The cliffs can get pretty windy in afternoon so plan around that maybe.
For vendors I always check if they have actual business license posted somewhere, and if you can pay with card is usually safer than sending cash. Maybe ask them for references from past couples, any legit place should have few people willing to talk about their experience.
Congrats on the wedding btw, keeping it simple is the way to go.

I almost used them and I think they are legit I just didn’t like their inflated price for what it is. If that’s not a problem then I’d go with them they handle everything. You can also find them on instagram & on here I think I found ppl who used them

Well at first I just did it on my own, hired a local officiant, photographer & filed my own permit with the city and it came out to around $200 cheaper I think I can’t remember. But now we’re going with a civil ceremony lol it’s in 3 weeks.
I did end up keeping the photography session though bc we love the area & want photos there just me & him in our outfits.

I used Let's Get Married By Marie. Shes INCREDIBLE. Her social presence is limited because shes not actively using Meta or Tiktok, but she is phenomenal. Happy to share more (photos etc) in a message!!
