A Beautiful and Low-Stress Ceremony!

My wife and I just did our wedding ceremony with Ren & her team two weeks ago and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the decorations, organization, and execution of the whole event, it went off without a hitch!

The photographer, Joe, took such amazing photos! They've received so many compliments when we finally got the chance to show them to family and friends.

If you want a no hassle ceremony, Ren & her team will for sure take good care of you.

Ceremony at Sunset Cliffs 🌊🌅

Renate at Seaside Beach Weddings made the entire process of getting married so easy & seamless. There was never once in the entire process I was stressed or unsure of what was happening. She takes care of every single detail & the day of was coordinated perfectly. Having an out of state wedding can be stressful but Renate truly went above & beyond to answer all my questions & assure me every little detail was taken care of. I highly recommend them! They have so many different options to pick from when it comes to decorations, I absolutely loved the set up for our ceremony overlooking sunset cliffs! She also provides very helpful information to obtain your marriage license. Thank you Renate & everyone at Seaside Beach Weddings for being part of our special day :)

The wedding of a lifetime

We were blown away with the services we received. We got everything we asked for and the officiant and photographer were prompt, professional, and so kind. The officiant was well prepared and delivered our vows exactly how we wanted. She was kind and peaceful and showed immense professionalism in her work. The photographer was well prepared, had wonderful experience and knowledge that created breath taking photos that surpassed expectations. He was also just a really good person that you can tell has a passion for photography and experience that is evident through his work. My husband and I are so pleased and excited to continue life together. We would highly recommend these services.

Stress-free and Unforgettable

We wanted a small intimate family wedding at Sunset Cliffs and Seaside delivered! Seaside owner Renate made the experience so easy and removed the stress of the planning for everyone to just enjoy the moment. Her emails were detailed and timed to get the information needed. She emailed back same day when I had questions and made herself available by phone for a quick check in. Flowers were superb. Priceless! My nephew and his bride picked out their music, flowers and decor. Seaside has great vendors and the photographer made everyone feel comfortable- just perfect. Renate handled everything via email and it was so effortless (almost felt too good to be true). It was a magical and unforgettable day. I can't say enough about how great everything was. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a memorable wedding. Amazing that people spend exuberate amount of money for a basic experience when they can have something special like this. And budget friendly!

Effortless Planning, Beautiful Ceremony

Planning a wedding is challenging, and doing it from a couple of states away is even tougher. But thanks to Renate, organizing the ceremony was a breeze. She handled every little detail, making the process feel effortless and giving us a beautiful, perfectly crafted ceremony.

The Jurado Wedding at Sunset Cliffs

My wife and I recently had a destination wedding in San Diego, CA. We found seaside weddings page online and decided to reach out. As you could imagine we were extremely nervous especially because we were so far away and really had no idea what to expect. We put all our eggs in one basket based on reviews and pictures. Well, am I sure glad we did! From the start Renate was amazing at answering all our questions. She was helpful, communicative, responsive and did an amazing job at putting us at ease. We chose Sunset Cliffs location and that was probably one of the best decisions we could have ever made. If you are looking to have a destination wedding in San Diego I definitely recommend seaside weddings! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. The set up was beautiful, the view was amazing and Renate and her crew are awesome!!!

Amazing wedding!

Easy, amazing, and upfront! I reached out in June 2023 for a wedding in June 2024. We ended up going with the Cuvier Bowl in La Jolla, which is one of the most popular places to get married in San Diego. They provided the cost for everything upfront with no surprises. Communication and customer service were great as I always heard from them within 24 hours or less. Beautiful decor options to choose from and scripts. I was a little nervous, being that there was not a rehearsal, but we showed up, and everything went perfectly for our intimate wedding of 25 people. Everything went as planned, and it was a beautiful day!

The EASIEST and most beautiful dream wedding a bride could ask for

Renate was so absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I got married on May 4th, on Sunset Cliffs in San Diego and everything from the planning process to the final result was a dream. If I had any questions (and I had a lot) Renate was quick to answer my calls, emails and texts. She was always so calm and kind. She was actually the person who married us! Everyone came up to me to compliment her on how articulate, easy to understand, easy to hear, and lovely she was. She gave us the most beautiful ceremony, and I truly can't recommend her enough. She planned EVERYTHING. & her flowers she supplied for my husband and I were absolutely beautiful. Even the photographer they supplied us did AMAZING work and was such a genuine human. No one had one bad thing to say by the end of it, and with weddings where anything and everything can go wrong, that is a blessing. So thank you to Renate and her team for making our wedding a dream come true. We are forever grateful and will recommend you to anyone and everyone we know.

The Most Beautiful Wedding

Renate made our ceremony absolutely perfect and with no stress! The decor was beautiful, the music, photography, and venue were fabulous. She got the permits needed and filed our marriage license, too. Always answered my questions in a timely, professional, yet friendly fashion. Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding.

Easy to work with and had a beautiful stress free wedding.

Renate was so kind and easy to work with from start to finish. The Seaside beach wedding team was great. Our experience doing a beach/intimate wedding was perfect for my husband and I. I tend to stress out and I knew I wanted something simple, small, beautiful, and stress free! And to me the cost was affordable.

Renate responded pretty quickly to my inquiry. It is pretty straightforward on their website on everything they do. Once I booked with her, she sent me emails on the choices for the ceremony, flowers, floral choice, chair ribbon, timelines for choices, etc… many more.

Her contract was straight forward and easy to read, no surprises for me.

Coming up to the big day she reached out to us for the final walk through and gave some information about the ceremony location, parking, what to remember to bring, etc… lots of details which made it easy for me since she sends you all the information you need for yourself and guests.

She was always responsive to my emails. We didn’t speak once on the phone, but that was totally ok with me. I did not feel the need to and email works best for me.

Day of our wedding was beautiful. Loved the set up and decor. They got everything and everyone in their places, it was on time, sound technician was great, Renate was our officiant and she has such a lovely and pleasant voice. Everything was perfect! Our families loved how smooth it went and how professional and kind Seaside beach wedding treated us.

I felt zero stress on my wedding day, thanks to Renate and Seaside Beach Weddings. Highly recommend them, word of advise…they know what they are doing and have been doing it for a long time and you can tell. So just follow her instructions and you will have a chill, stress-free and beautiful wedding!

Thanks again!

10/10 Would Recommend

My Husband and I wanted a small ceremony near the water and Ren and her team delivered! All of our direct contact was with Ren and she made the whole process super easy! She provides very clear instructions and is quick to answer any questions you may have. All of my guest and bridal party noted how polite and help Ren and her team was before the wedding started. 10/10 would recommend.

No panic to wed during a Pandemic

We are so thrilled with the flawless communication and execution of our Coronado Beach Elopement by Ren and Grant! Ren is prompt and through with attention to detail. We had some challenges with rescheduling due to the Pandemic but Ren was so gracious and easy to work with my worries melted away and left it all to her. I have had so many compliments on the quality of the photos, provided by Di-Lanatta's photography and the flowers, they were absolutely gorgeous. Many thanks for making our day joyous and stress free.

Highly Recommend!!!!

I recently had the best experience with Ren and Grant!!!!! Ren was very responsive and quickly answered any questions I had throughout the planning process. She was very flexible with us given the unforeseen COVID pandemic. Our original plans were for a September wedding with 80 people, Ren graciously allowed me and my fiancé to change our date to August 1 and downgrade the original package to fit a small backyard wedding. My bouquet was perfect, the wedding arch was exactly what I envisioned and overall the day went without a hitch. The photographer included in the package was great. Grant was punctual, professional, and performed our ceremony beautifully. No complaints at all!!! I highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Ren and Grant for creating such a beautiful day for us to remember forever.

Our wedding perfected

We live out of state, but planning with Ren was such a relief! She was easy to get a hold of if I had any questions and responded quickly. They had several options for the ceremony so all we had to do was choose. She was very professional and flexible as we had to change the date of our wedding. Seeing everything come together on the day of the wedding was so perfect! The ceremony was very simple and done wonderfully by Grant. Working with them was such a pleasure!

We had a destination wedding in San Diego. Ren helped us arrange every detail up front over the course of 7 months and Grant performed the ceremony. Both of them were kind, personable and very accommodating. When we arrived at the location - a place we'd never been before - the flowers, arch, chairs, aisle, everything was set up exactly as planned and Grant met us with a big smile.

One thing about having an outdoor beach wedding is that it is not going to be perfect so it's best to just .. relax. There will be people around and some stick around for the entire ceremony. I did have a mini panic attack when we arrived and saw that there were so many people around but Grant and his team took care of it in a polite, friendly way.

We're extremely grateful to Ren and Grant. They really put us at ease, before and during the ceremony. We highly recommend them to anyone wanting a simple, classy wedding.

We had a destination wedding in Coronado, CA on the beach near hotel del Coronado. Communicating with Ren out of state since I was in Wisconsin was very very easy. She responds very quickly in a timely manner. We had a small wedding elopement package. Grant was our officiant. He was amazing as well! Very kind and helpful in making the ceremony run smoothly. Our photographer that was included in the package was great too and made sure we were satisfied with our photos and poses. I highly recommend them for your wedding needs!

We started planning our intimate beach wedding in Carlsbad and came across Seaside Weddings. Being from Canada, we were going to have to rely and trust a company that organized destination weddings. After searching and reading countless reviews, we decided to book with Seaside Weddings for our August 7th wedding. Ren was amazing to deal with! She was quick to reply to emails and was so sweet. The entire process was so simple – we selected our location (South Ponto Beach) and chose a package. I sent a picture of what I wanted for my upgraded bouquet…they were perfect and so beautiful! Grant was our officiant and I really liked his easy-going relaxed vibe. Choosing Seaside Weddings was the best decision and we would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to plan a beautiful wedding in San Diego!

We had a destination wedding. I found Seaside Beach Wedding on line. I worked with Ren and she was amazing. She guided me thru the entire process. She made sure I was making decisions such as flowers, decorations, vows etc as we went along. She was very professional and very quick to respond to any question I had. Wedding day was upon us and I felt so comfortable with all the decisions we had made and knew that everything was taken care of. Grant did our ceremony and it was beautiful and romantic. The vows were amazing. We had so many comments and compliments with our choice of location. I always wanted a beach wedding and they provided that and more. I highly commend them for you beach wedding.

Seaside Beach Wedding is THE PLACE to go to for beach weddings in San Diego. My wife and I were very impressed with their service and professionalism. They responded very promptly to our initial inquiry and then continued that through out the process. We recently got married on 4/9/17 at Calumet Park, which is an awesome location. It overlooks the Pacific Ocean on the cliffs and provided a great back drop for our wedding. They have a few different options for themes and were very accommodating. If you want someone who will make your experience hassle and worry-free, I highly, without a doubt, recommend Seaside Wedding.

Grant performed our elopement ceremony on the Coronado beach. He was professional, wore appropriate attire and performed our ceremony with class. The ceremony vows he wrote were beautiful, they couldn't have been more perfect. We asked Grant for a copy to guide us each day in our marriage. Ren was our point of contact for planning our ceremony. She was responsive and professional. We highly recommend Ren and Grant !! Thank you! Debbie and Morgan

Everything turned out perfect! We had a destination wedding in Coronado, CA. My parents were very worried my Big Day would turn out less than perfect when they learned all the wedding plans were being done via email, phone, and internet but everything was Amazing! All our vendors were hired after reading tons on online reviews and we didn’t go wrong hiring A Beautiful Wedding.

Before I even booked Ren for our ceremony, she was readily available to help me choose the perfect beach for our ceremony and walked me through the process of securing permits. Ren was extremely responsive to all my emails and always very professional. She literally walked us through each decision that needed to be made. And, she even created a customized canopy for us which turned out so nice and romantic. It was just what I had envisioned. Everything from the flower arrangements to the exact beach location turned out great.

I am so happy I had Ren as my wedding planner. This made my destination wedding (from Utah) the most stress free planning a wedding could be. Honestly I didn't have any work to do other then pick colors... how simple is that!!!! I'm very grateful for the knowledge, speed of communication, happy, upbeat, willing, professtional, great quality, opinionated (when asked for), and most patient business I've EVER had to work with. Being a bridal is hard and you can't prepare yourself for it, but utilizing their skills relieves so much planning you don't have to do. Grant performed the ceremony and did a fabulous job at it. All of my guests said this was a perfect wedding. My recommendation Is to get married on coronado! The most beautiful pictures and the softest sand. If I had to pick my one favorite thing it would have been my bouquet. It looked EXACTLY like the picture I showed her and beyond beautiful. It was a cascading style created with white and purple/fushia orchids with green orchid buds. I hope they post pictures on Facebook, because it's breath taking. Ultimately, Sea Side Wedings exceeded all my expectations. I am very happy with my decision of utilizing this company for my one special day!

By far the best of the best!!! We looked high and low for a wedding service and for sure Seaside Weddings was always on top of the game. Renate always answered every question I had, even while on vacation she was sure to respond to any of my emails. The whole ceremony was amazing and they were incredibly professional and timely.. Everything was perfect from the smallest detail to the main event. The flowers, arrangements and set up was quick, beautiful and everything we hoped for.. I highly recommend their services to any one looking to have a beautiful ceremony in the California area. They truly made my dreams come true at a fraction of the price and with a smile to sweeten the deal. I greatly appreciate their professionalism and expertise. I don't think we could have pulled such a flawless event without them.

While this was a simple 20 year vow renewal Ren and Grant made this so effortless, and I should know I used to be a wedding photographer! All communication was handled promptly and via email as we live one state over from CA. This was a surprise for my wife and she could not have been happier with how things turned out. If you want a beach wedding in San Diego Ren and Grant are your people!

Our elopement was perfect! We booked the elopement just a few days before for Coronado Beach and it was perfect! The photographer they sent (Holly) was awesome and so was the officiate. They really made it easy breazy! I couldn't ask for more. I don't understand why people would go to the courthouse or Vegas when they can get married on the beach. I've always dreamed of a beach wedding and they really made my dream come true!

I know this has been a long time coming but I want to thank Ren and Grant for the most beautiful wedding a couple could ask for. We were married on Coronado and everything was perfect. I would highly recommend A Beautiful Wedding for anyone looking for a highly professional, beautiful, easy, stress free wedding. Ren was on top of every last detail and when we didn't have our officiant at the last minute Grant stepped in and took care of everything for us. It was one of the most memorable days of our lives. I know a lot of people are skeptical because everything is done on line or by phone...but trust me...you get the best service with no worries. Thank you again for making our wedding day super special....it was truly "A Beautiful Wedding"!!

me and my wife got married on leap day (2/29) at lajolla wedding bowl. Renate was easy to work with and answered questions very fast. everything turned out great. im not gonna lie, ive had my doubts about the whole thing because it was all done through email (which was very convenient but had its cons), but everything we discussed was delivered! Our wedding was small and intimate. My wife was very happy (if shes happy, im happy)

so listen to me current reader of this review, if you are looking for a simple, hassle-free, chillax wedding, you shoot out an email or give Ren a call! i know you will start looking for the negative reviews about them and start getting nervous (thats what i did), but i hope this specific review gives you a boost in confidence on hiring ABW for your special day!

Thanks Ren and Grant! 5 stars

This was THE BEST wedding planning/ceremony company to go with. I had a small wedding but I wanted it to be perfect. Seaside Weddings gave us that and so much more. Not only were they professional (even when things went south for a moment and my nerves made me a little hard to deal with) they were caring and really did everything in their power to make my wedding day as special as it could be. I am more than happy that I chose Seaside Weddings and have been recommending them to all my friends and family, who by the way where so inspired by what we had that day, are now thinking of marrying themselves. Thank you to both of you my day was everything I expected and more!

Ren and Grant were amazing! They made everything so easy for us, answered all emails promptly and professionally. The preferred vendors list was great! Shirley Resnick did our cake, it was beautiful and tasted AMAZING! Grant was out officiant and he was wonderful. Our photographer was super sweet and creative, we will get our pics next week. I'd definitely do this the exact same way if we did it again! Oh and my flowers were gorgeous!

Sunset Cliffs was an amazing location. Renate made it so easy to plan a wedding in San Diego when we live in Phoenix. We chose the Beachside vows and they were perfect. The photographer was amazing - easy to work with and great pictures. All our choices - flowers, canopy/chair colors, flowers, seaside decorations - were all done exactly as we wished. We would highly recommend Seaside Weddings.

Every detail of my destination wedding was executed by seaside beach weddings. All we had to do was show up. The wedding was absolutely perfect! From the decorations to the officiant I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Seaside beach weddings took the load of the stress of planning the wedding. They present you with options and all we had to do was make a choice and they executed it beautifully.

Wow! We had the best possible experience with Ren and Grant. Everything was arranged as agreed, extremely professional and high quality. We had our wedding in Coronado Beach with our feet in the sand, and a lovely photo shooting afterwards. Our flowers were amazing, too. Coming from Europe it was an incredible relief to have great on-site support to ensure everything would go smoothly, including appointment to receive marriage license. We are now looking forward to our photos! Highly recommended.

We hired A Beautiful Wedding to do our ceremony and we could not have been happier! Ren and Grant were absolutely incredible and provided us a ceremony we will cherish forever. Ren was always extremely prompt and professional in answering our emails and we knew immediately that we were going to have a great ceremony. We got married at the Wedding Bowl in La Jolla and the setting was perfect. They had all of the decorations set up perfectly with our guests looking out over the ocean. Grant performed our ceremony and he was the perfect choice for us. All of our guests raved about how beautiful everything was and how it was one of the best weddings they had been to! Thank you so much Ren and Grant, we will forever be grateful to you!

Renate from A Beautiful Wedding was kind, professional, and quick to respond to emails and phone calls. She suggested a wonderful venue in a park overlooking the ocean that our whole wedding party loved. She was very accommodating and helpful in planning the wedding, and made both the wedding and the marriage license details entirely stress-free for us. It was a very small wedding (just ourselves and our parents) but the experience was very special, intimate, and memorable. Her photographer Tandy was also sensational.
We used the Forever Package, which was simple and elegant with all the basic elements we wanted (ceremony in a beautiful outdoor location and 1 hour of professional photography). I appreciated that A Beautiful Wedding offered many packages ranging from very simple to more elaborate, allowing you to choose which package will be just right for your ceremony.
I highly recommend A Beautiful Wedding!!

The name of this company is self explanatory! I am so very thankful to have found A Beautiful Wedding. It was absolutely everything I could have hoped for and more. The staff was highly accommodating to the changes we were making. I live in Texas and trying to plan a beach wedding sight unseen was very stressful but Rev. Renata made it simple and easy. If I had a question, she was always there to answer and provide details to put me at ease. Now that my big day has come and gone, I will never forget it and I am truly thankful for the staff at ABW. They made me wish I could do it all over again just to relive that moment!!!!!

Ren and her family did an amazing job setting up for our vow renewal at Cuvier Park.
Everything was beautiful and perfect. The family went out of their way to make sure the
ground at the park was super clean before our guests arrived. Everything was set up
with persiscion and care. My bouquet of flowers was beyond gorgeous. We were happy
with everything and would absolutely recommend A Beautiful Wedding.

It was exactly what my husband and I imagined. My bouquet was exactly like the picture I sent to her and was stunning. We loved our photographer and she did a beautiful gallery of our captured moments. Ren also provided referrals to me for my make-up/hair, I chose Helena and she was wonderful!! Thank you again to Ren!! I would recommend A Beautiful Wedding to anyone!!

After reviewing wedding planning companies online, I came across A Beautiful Wedding. Their prices were in my ballpark and after talking with Renate, I knew I made the right choice. After looking at reviews from others, I will admit that I was a little spooked at the idea of never meeting Renate or her husband Grant prior to the wedding, but I placed my faith in these reviews, which were all 5 star and glowing! I was not disappointed. Renate was very responsive to my inquiries, even when they became more frequent and frantic as the date approached. ;) When we arrived at the wedding location - we chose Calumet Park in La Jolla, which is just lovely, everything was set up perfectly. Grant served as our officiant and he only needed to spend a few minutes with the bridal party to get them situated. The ceremony went off without a single hitch and Grant was a perfect officiant. I couldn't say enough good things about A Beautiful Wedding. I didn't have to do much other than make our choices and Renate and Grant did the rest - to perfection! I have received nothing but glowing comments from our guests. I also used Renate's floral services for my reception and the centerpieces turned out spectacular! Overall, I am very pleased with A Beautiful Wedding and would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a stress-free and lovely wedding! Thanks, Ren and Grant :)

I would HIGHLY recommend using "A Beautiful Wedding" to anyone looking for an amazing beach wedding. We had a very small, simple event but I knew from the time I started working with Ren that I would not have to worry about the details. Ren's experience with the location, attention to detail and excellent communication made our beach wedding stress free. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and just what I had hoped for when I picked them from the website options. The photographer was professional and creative and I can not wait to see the pictures.

Ren and her team are fabulous! Ren was great at email communication to set everything up with me in the months leading up to the wedding. Any question I had, however small, she answered in a timely manner. She took care of the flowers, which were gorgeous! The officiant walked the guests and myself and my dad through our roles and how things were going to happen during the wedding. It was such an enjoyable experience working with Ren and her team and we now have beautiful memories and photos of that day! Holly, our photographer, was great. Took great family shots and let my husband and I be ourselves (no cheesy posed photos) but gave us suggestions when we wanted them. A great experience and well worth the very reasonable rate!

By far the best decision I made having Renate coordinate my wedding. Everything was easy and affordable. She was flexible with me and personalized it especially for me and my husband. I live in AZ so it was a god send having Renate plan. From the permit to flowers, chairs, decoration, etc. She did it all and it was amazing!! I showed up and the ceremony was more than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend her services to everyone!! Grant did an amazing job with the ceremony and it was a magical, incredible day for me, my husband and all of our guests!

Working with A Beautiful Wedding was SO easy! From the moment I contacted Ren and Grant they guided me through the entire process with ease. Since I am from out of town, I was a little nervous at first to work with someone strictly through email and phone, but my fears soon disappeared when I realized the professionals I was dealing with!
They helped me to pick the perfect location for the wedding, provided me with beautiful flowers for myself and my flower girls, and helped me to find a restaurant where I could have dinner for my guests after. Any time I had a question about something, I would send Ren an email and she would promptly respond with detailed answers. My wedding turned out to be even more beautiful than I could have imagined!

I highly recommend A Beautiful Wedding to anyone considering a wedding in the San Diego area. You won't regret it!

Renate was readily available and very responsive in arranging our wedding. I felt that she took a personal interest in us. She was very welcoming and was sensitive to our wants and needs in planning and officiating our wedding. We are a gay couple and wanted a "simple" ceremony that recognized this special event in our lives.

I read many reviews before getting in touch with Ren at 'abeautifulwedding' and all seemed too good to be true.
Well, I can now confirm that Ren and her team are fantastic indeed.
She truly did an amazing job, from the very friendly emails, the rapid responses, her willingness the make everything perfects down to the smallest details (flowers, bouquet, ... we got to choose everything, even the photographer from a list of 7 with links to their websites).
All in all, we have no regret whatsoever, everything was perfect.

We did all of our communication via email and the responses were always very prompt no matter what time of the week. Our day turned out perfect!

A Beautiful Wedding is a company true to its name. It was great to work with Renate. I am originally from Chicago and my wedding was down in La Jolla, so I had to find a vendor to help me plan and organize everything in literally eight weeks. Ren was right on top of things and very responsive to any email I have sent her. The downside for someone will be that all correspondence is via email, but I didn't mind that at all. In the end, they managed to secure my location, take care of the license, the officiant, the decorations, photographer and everything else in between. My wedding site and the ceremony turned out beautiful. Thanks to them, my whole experience was just simple stress free. I will highly recommend them as a vendor.

Oh my goodness, words can't even express how beautiful everything was at my wedding! The decorations, the venue, everything. Ren walks you through every step of the process and helped us make everything just how we wanted it. And the sound guys were pros, the music went off perfectly! It was exquisite. I will cherish it for the rest of my life. Ren and A Beautiful Wedding services are wonderful!!!! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them if you're planning on having your ceremony in the San Diego area. Ren is very experienced and knowledgeable about all things wedding from vendors to venues. She even works around whatever budget you have.

I cannot speak highly enough about Ren and Grant and our Photographer Holly. From the first email I sent to Ren until the very last email confirming everything, she was on top of all of them. I got immediate responses every time !! Everything that I had asked for and hoped for was all fulfilled. Grant was so light hearted and smiled a lot during our ceremony and that is exactly what we were looking for especially since this was both of our second marriages. Thank You for coordinating all of this and making our day so PERFECT !! Also, for me trying to get all of this organized was hard due to living out of state. Ren you really came through for us and I cannot Thank all of you enough !!!!

WOW we had a real fairytale wedding!!!

And it was all because of Ren and her team.

We came to her wanting to organize an amazing San Diego beach ceremony for 60 guests with only 3 weeks notice... and from 600 miles away. So we couldn't come meet anyone, look at anything, try or reherse nothing.

Ren was amazing to work with. She was fast, incredibly on top of things, found a picture perfect beach for us (availability can be so tough but she did it!!), helped us pick all the colors, flowers, ceremonies, was extremely flexible with me being a diva and didn't even blink when just a couple days before the wedding we decided to bring our own pastor instead of her officiant!

We didn't meet in person until 3 minutes before the ceremony (we were stuck in traffic and almost late - stress!) and Ren was just so amazing.

Everything looked so beautiful and perfect. The chairs, the canopy (best thing ever!!), the sashes, floqers, decorations.. Everything.

None of the beidesmaids, grooms men or even me the bride had much of any idea where to go and what to do during the ceremony and she coordinated everyone and me so well that we all walked down the isle so perfectly and in order that no one would ever know this wasn't rehersed.

It was just PERFECT.

All our guests were so impressed :)

After the ceremony we stayed to take pictures with the wedding party and family on the beach while Ren's team disassembled the chairs etc in the background - quietly, unnoticable and without pressure.

It was truly the perfect dream wedding.
Thank you!!!!!!! It wouldnt have been possible without you Ren!! I would recommend their service to anyone, long or short notice, big or small party, beach or any location :)

PS: Afterwards we had a big amazing reception at Island Palms Hotel - they have another incredible and beautiful package that comes very highly recommended if you choose to have a glamorous reception for a great price.

We used the services of this company for my small beach wedding ceremony in San Diego. Everything went perfect, even better than I could ever imagine! Renate always answered all my emails quickly and provided me with all the information that I needed. The bouquet was perfect and just what I had imagined as well. The ceremony flowed well and was great. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get married in San Diego.

Ren and all her crew at ABW were amazing! Sooo kind and friendly and immediately responded to all my questions and concerns. She handled everything via my requests and all details were professional and top notch, flowers were gorgeous and remained fresh and vibrant days after. Affordable and high quality, loved how I could both customize and personalize my ceremony details. A Beautiful Wedding gets my highest reviews and recommendations, very happy!!!

Renate was fabulous. All of our planning was done by e-mail since I lived out of state. I was allowed to be stress free once I arrived at the ceremony site and realized everything was perfect. If we decide to renew our vows years down the road we will use A Beautiful Wedding's services again.

Having a destination wedding was super easy with 'A Beautiful Wedding'! Planning our wedding in 8 months, through all of the emails back and forth, Ren and her staff were so helpful and seemed more than happy to answer any and all questions, no matter how trivial. Then on the day of our wedding, Ren found the perfect spot on Coronado Beach, she provided my bouquet, my husband's boutonniere, our photographer and the coordination of my wedding party and guests. (We had our own officiant, an old family friend, so we did not need them to provide one.) Ren and our photographer, Fritz, were both very professional yet warm and personable. Ren is full of energy! She made me tired just watching her run around on the beach! My husband and I are very happy we chose 'A Beautiful Wedding' to organize our special day! And I still think Ren ordered the sailboats and perfect sunset just for us...;) Thank you so much!!

Renate was our wedding officiant and she was absolutely wonderful! She is very kind, patient, and will perform any wedding ceremony to your liking. She answered all of our questions and was on top of things. When she performed our custom wedding ceremony in November 2012, it came out flawless! A Beautiful Wedding is a company who cares about their clients! They are very professional and exceeded our expectations! Thank you Renate, for making our wedding ceremony amazingly beautiful and memorable! :)

We could not be more statisfied with working with Renate and Grant Deversa from "A Beutiful Wedding" in San Diego, CA. When I first reached out to Ren with questions, her responses were almost immediate and her follow through continued through out the planning. Her husband Grant officiated our "Just the Two Of Us" beach ceremony and it was exactly what we wanted. When we arrived (which was a little early) Grant and our photographer, Fritz Harmon were already there and from the moment we met them they made us feel at ease. The ceremony itself was simple and beautiful. Ren did my bouquet of flowers and they were spectacular. They looked just like her website picture. I carried them home with me on the plane 10 days later and got comments from everyone that saw them on how gorgeous they were! I would definately recommend their services to anyone who is planning a wedding, big or small in San Diego.

Young couples...USE THIS COMPANY!!! We spent around $2k for 60 people, and I would have paid twice that for what we got. They were so professional, calm, in control and thought of everything. The photographer was fantastic. The minister (Grant) was so great. Everything was exactly as advertised, if not better. My kids (the bride/maid of honor) were so stressed and nervous, and Grant and his staff had everything set up early, and spent time talking with us all and keeping the girls and moms completely calm and happy.
My only regret is that I did not use these guys when I got married 20 years ago. I cannot recommend them enough.

Keep in mind, we live in Tucson, Az and this wedding was in San Diego, so we were unsure of what we would find when we got to the beach for the ceremony. A Beautiful Wedding blew us away. They FAR exceeded our expectations. Again...USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!

I wanted a beach wedding in Coronado, but had to plan it from Seattle. A Beautiful Wedding helped make our day perfect from the first time I contacted them to the moment we were pronounced man and wife. Renata was so sweet and responsive - answering every single question I threw at her and helping with things above and beyond (like where to get our license and how to get the beach permit). I was able to customize our wedding exactly the way we wanted but with the ease of having the setup, flowers, photographer, officiant, etc. all in one vendor. They delivered on everything they promised, down to every detail I'd asked for. I would recommend them in an instant to anyone who wants to get married in San Diego. They made it easy, enjoyable and left us with great memories of our wedding, not nightmares of planning and worrying. Thank you Ren and Grant for our perfect wedding!

We loved this vendor and are recommending them to several of our engaged friends! They were so helpful from start to finish! They are a one stop shop and help you with everything! They made it so easy for us! We just had to show up! They are prompt, friendly and professional! Their packages are amazing and are at such a great value! I can't think of a reason why anyone would go somewhere else!

Renate Daversa was so helpful with planning my wedding. I'm from AZ and she made everything so simple and communication was very easy as well. She always answered all my questions or concerns. She got everything I wanted from location to the bouquet! She also gave recomendations for the cake, photographers and reception venue.
I highly recommend Ren and her services!

Renate (Ren) Daversa and Glen made my wedding look like a fairytale wedding on the beach I live in Arizona and was so nervous as to how everything was going to play out in San Diego but from the kissing balls hanging on the chairs to the bouquets everything was perfect, I would recommend A Beautiful Wedding to anyone planning a beach wedding!

My fiancée and I were planning a wedding on a beach, but being from Colorado and both of us being school teachers, we were on a tight budget. The closest beach that we found to suit us was Coronado. We searched online and found A Beautiful Wedding, a company run by Renate Daversa and her husband Grant. We contacted them by email and set up the preliminaries, asked questions, and worked out details. During this process, prior to submitting our deposit, we read an online review that was very negative towards Ren and her company. We called Ren and spoke directly with her. To plan the biggest day of your life without meeting the people responsible for the details was a bit nerve racking. There are all kinds of doubts that fill your mind: Will they fulfill their end of the deal? Will they even show up? If not, can I get my money back? Ren reassured us that the negative review was a fluke by someone who was disgruntled and confused. But still, we kept in contact with Ren, just to make sure that things were going well and on track.
Ren kept her word. :^) We arrived in California the day of the ceremony, and when we arrived at the beach, everyone was there waiting for us along with everything we had expected: the photographer (Fritz Harmon, who was also amazing), Grant, (Ren’s husband who performed the ceremony), all of the items for our sand ceremony, and some of the most beautiful, fresh flowers that we had ever seen. It was cold and windy that day at sunset, but Grant didn’t falter at all in his ceremony. He also didn’t “rush” because of the weather.
In short, Renate, Grant, and A Beautiful Wedding met and exceeded all of our expectations. They provided what they said they would, they performed with excellence, and they followed through with their promises. AND, they were affordable and competitive in price. My fiancée and I were worried and concerned for no reason whatsoever. We HIGHLY recommend A Beautiful Wedding for anyone looking for wedding services in the San Diego area. You will not be disappointed. We did indeed have a beautiful wedding. Thank you Renate and Grant for making our day perfect.

Ren and Grant were beyond helpful and professional. Our day was amazing and worry free. The weather was not completely cooperating with us but Grant remained calm and cool and got us through the day and made it easy to get lost in the moment and take it all in. This was a long distance wedding for us and Renate was amazing at getting back to me in a timely matter and made me feel confident and comfortable that everything was taken care of. Everything was perfect and I just can not say enough about how wonderful they both were. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for giving us our dream wedding day!

Ren made my wedding day a dream come true!

I live in the Bay Area and my husband and I celebrated our first year dating anniversary in Coronado. We knew that having a beach wedding in Coronado was our dream. Ren made it all reality from our first point of contact via email and her follow up calls, she was truly heaven sent. The setting was amazing and everything down to the last detail was perfect. Our guests commented on how beautiful and perfect everything was and we truly impressed. We heard by everyone that it was the most beautiful wedding that they have ever attended. I would highly recommend "A beautiful wedding" by Renata Daversa to anyone.
Thanks again Ren
Love E&B 2011

Getting married out of town is nerve-racking. When I found Renate and she said "just complete the questionnares and just show up. I will take care of the rest.", she really meant it! I cannot tell you what a weight lifter she was and how wonderful it was to work with her. My wedding was PERFECT in every sense and I couldn't have done it without her! In addition, the photographer that we chose from her list was AMAZING. My best friends were jealous because we got too many great photos. My wedding album is x 2!

Lots of Wishes!

They did the most fabulous job to make me wedding ceremony unique and memorable. The whole setup was very picture-perfect and guest-friendly at the same time. The flowers were very lovely and matched my motiff. Excellent sound system. The best part for me was the Sand Ceremony, which I thought was both unique and very profound. They took all the hassles and worries of arranging a wedding ceremony from me and made my bride very happy. I am very impressed. I would highly recommend their services.

Everything was wonderful and so very easy to work with. I was very worried planning a wedding from out of state but Ren made it so easy and it was very beautiful and just the way we wanted it. We were married on Coronado beach during August and she still made our ceremony a private affair for us! I would recommed her to anyone.
Thanks Ren!
