One of our most popular elopement sites in Big Sur is actually a place where you can book a private, intimate cabin in the redwoods. It encompasses acres of of old growth redwoods as well as a ceremony lawn alongside the Big Sur River.

They have a couple of options for an elopement-style wedding:

If you reserve lodging there and book your package with Blue Sky Elopements, and it is just the two of you, an officiant and a photographer for the ceremony, they will allow you to be married on their grounds at no additional charge.

Alternatively, if you have guests, they also offer a larger vacation home on the property. Fees change frequently for this private option, but start at $2,400 per night with a two-night minimum. Contact us for updated rates if this site is of interest.

What we love about this site:

• It's just the two of you, it's a fabulous value and a way to book a high end venue essentially for free (it's included in the cost of your lodging).

• Easy to access for all mobility levels.

• Get ready, be married, do photos and have your post-ceremony celebration all in one place.

Potential drawbacks of this site

• It's only free if you have no guests.

• The cabins run about $800 a night to reserve.

• The vacation rental is an idyllic redwood retreat for a micro-wedding, but it's pricey.

• No dogs allowed.
