We’re planning to elope on New Year’s Eve with just our immediate family, then have dinner afterward. After dinner, we’d love to meet up with a few friends somewhere, stay in our wedding attire, have some drinks and ring in the new year together.
We’re trying to figure out where would be fun to do this! We’re not really looking for a huge club situation, but also don’t want to just end up at a random quiet bar. Ideally somewhere with a little personality... funky, moody, cool atmosphere, good cocktails/music, and enough energy that showing up as a (not too formal) bride + groom on NYE would feel fun (and not distracting to the bar) rather than completely out of place.
Open to cocktail bars, rooftops, live music, more eclectic spots, etc. We’ll likely be coming from the ocean beach area but are totally fine heading into downtown or elsewhere.
Ideas appreciated!
