Ren and her team were so wonderful our wedding was stress free and beautiful! Highly recommend!
We used Seaside Beach Weddings for our daughter in July. Their advice was very helpful and they performed the ceremony fir us with perfection. Thank you.
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.
It pains me to have to leave a negative review but people need to know the truth about how Seaside Weddings handles their clients during a global emergency. I had scheduled a June ...
wedding, for less than 10 guests on a weekday. With the virus pandemic, everything is uncertain. I have relatives that were supposed to book flights from the east coast to attend but of course that can not happen. With all the uncertainty, I decided to email Ren and kindly ask if she could be flexible to allow me to reschedule for September or October. I understand there is a contract and any other time I could completely understand why contracts are firm but with all that is happening, you would think she would be willing to try and work with clients. Bottom line is Ren was 100% unwilling to work with me at all. Due to her “contract “ which I can no longer access in my email for some reason. I mean, I even offered to pay in full to hold the new date. I already paid half of the $550 payment. All she could offer me was a $100 discount on a new booking. I booked the most basic package for officiant and 1 hour photography on a weekday and for some reason, moving the date would do her so much harm. What’s hurts a lot is that her decision to be completely unwilling to work with me . She did not even take a day or two to think about it. Her reply with no as an answer was almost instant. It’s amazing how major companies and airlines and utilities are working with people but no sympathy from this company at all. I’m sure she would have been wonderful to work with in different circumstances but I am disgusted at how she handled her clients in a horrible situation that none of us can control. I would like to add that I did not even ask for my $275 back but a lawyer is willing to look into it.
CONSUMER BEWARE! I also booked a wedding with Seaside Beach Weddings which was set for 03/21/2020. For the ceremony, I paid $3,050 up front and in full in January of 2020. Suddenly...
and unexpectedly the United States and the WORLD was hit with Covid 19. As the seriousness of the Covid 19 progressed, I reached out to Ren and requested the possibility of moving the date til after this crisis has passed NOT A REFUND. Ren was short and curt and stated "we are proceeding with business as usual, no postponements, no refund, no exceptions." I accepted this initially because I was so excited about my wedding and didn't think things would get worse than they were. A few days later the situation with Covid 19 did in fact worsen even further and it was mandated no gatherings greater than 10 people. I reached out to Ren and was shut down again. She made it perfectly clear she was willing to disregard a government mandate and move forward with the ceremony in spite of this knowledge and urged me to cancel. Again I hesitated because I spent $3,050 which would be gone. Mind you at this point NO SERVICES HAD BEEN RENDERED other than the purchase of the permit. Keep in mind Ren does the flowers, her husband is the officiant and I assume the photraper is also a family member or friend. At this point my options were to forfeit my money or put my family and friends at risk and disregard a government mandate. Ren then had the audacity to offer me a $500 credit towards a ceremony at a future date and I would have to come up with $2600 more. Knowing that in her contract she has a clause which states
"Vendor reserves the right to cancel this contract, if at any time we feel that services for which client has contracted, cannot be provided. In the event of fire, natural disaster, tragedy or other emergency, liability is limited to full refund of all monies paid”
I think this virus falls in this spectrum. unfortunately for me and my fiance, Ren feels totally justified in keeping our money even though she did nothing but purchase a $35 permit. I do want to point out that all the vendors I hired for the reception (venue, caterer, party rental company, airfare and even the cake) we so kind and understanding and offered a FULL refund or FULL credit for monies spent without me even asking. All the vendors for my reception we also small family owned business but did the right thing at their own will. I do not recommend Seaside Beach Weddings aka Daversa Enterprises Inc.
DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!
Ren, per your reply, as far as lies are concerned you never offered me a credit to a later date. What you offered me was a 50% discount if I choose to re-boo...
k my wedding. Not only are you keeping my $633 but you were offering to charge me an additional $225 if I chose to re-book with you at a later date. As far as having empathy, I have the empathy, looks like you choose not to have any when there is a pandemic going on and you are making it like I chose not to go ahead with my wedding. You do realize the whole country in a state of national emergency?? You were not even willing to compromise at all. I am sadden that in such a stressful environment that someone has to deal with something as petty as this. I have cancelled (AND NOT BY CHOICE) all my wedding plans, including flights, venues and other vendors with ease, you are the only one that has given me a problem. It seems that you always hide behind the word "contract". As far as the screaming, that did not happen. As far as the crying, that did happen because my wedding plans had come to an end and your callous, unprofessional demeanor was a big part of my crying.
DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM! Realize that the contract is etched in blood and you will have no flexibility, understanding or practical concern from these people. Individuals, organizations and companies are judged not by how they comport themselves in times when things all go well, but how they respond to exceptionally challenging situations. Cold hearted, unprofessional, black-white, narrow thinking only begins to describe the nature of this company. Only God can judge – yet after reading a few of the other brief stories/reviews (which we should have before we booked); you get a glimpse into their lack of compassion, personal concern and humanity we experienced as well. You would think you have signed a deal with the devil, rather than with caring people helping set up a most joyous day. I hope that the $633 (paid in full) pound of flesh has made them happy and keeps their family afloat during these tense times – a national state of emergency – flight restrictions – life and death. As the entire nation (world) struggles to accommodate, join together and figure a way to deal with this unprecedented Coronavirus Pandemic – Ren threw the contract in our faces (as I suppose is her legal right) - as it clearly appears to be her mantra (go ahead, say CONTRACT one more time). Hearing her say “… oh well, people lose money all the time, it happens, I’m hanging up … click”. No meeting us half-way, offering to reschedule the event, or allowing us to simply cover second tier vendor costs – NOPE! Caveat Emptor – lesson learned. Thanks for the sterile corporate morality. Incidentally, every other vendor has worked WITH us, and have been incredibly accommodating and helpful (airlines, hotel, hall, hair, makeup, rentals). What a piece of work.
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 pick. 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!
Ren and Grant were super easy to work with. They made our elopement easy and stress free! From the moment I contacted them they were detailed and answered all my questions. The day...
of, everything looked amazing from the set up to the bouquet. Thank you guys for making our special day an unforgettable one!
Simple. Classy. Wonderful!! Loved our officiant Ren. Highly recommend!
Ren and Grant, we can't thank you enough for making our dreams come true! Because of you, our day was absolutely perfect! Thank you Ren for all your advise and continued support ...
throughout the planning process. Rev Grant, you were amazing! My entire family is still raving about what a lovely time they had witnessing our marriage. The ceremony was perfect! The flowers were breathtaking!
We are two Canadians who decided to do a small wedding in California. We stumbled across the great reviews on Renate's company and decided it was our safest bet. All of our consult...
ations were done online. We never needed to pick up the phone to call anyone, it was so easy and organized. She even allowed me to send a photo of the bouquet I wanted and she made it look EXACTLY the same. what a beautiful, stress free, and well managed operation. Thank you so much for making our special day amazing. The only thing I wish we would have done was pay extra to extend out time with the photographer. She was amazing.
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 des...
tination 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!
They were absolutely amazing. I had gotten in contact with Ren a year before the wedding. She was there every step of the way. She responds to emails so quick, and is so sweet. I v...
alued her input and shr has so much experience to share. Ren helped me with my flowers, and bouquets because I just couldn't quite figure it out on my own. They were absolutely gorgeous. Grant, her husband, was there for my July 13 wedding to set up and break down the location. It was so beautiful. I could not have asked for anything more. I have already recommended them to a few friends who are planning on getting married soon.
Could not have asked for more. I wanted an intimate wedding in sunset cliffs, I wanted simple and beautiful, and Ren delivered. The entire process was simple, I didn't have to co...
ordinate anything, just show up. I picked my package, gave some details about decor and colors via email with Ren. She made everything easy and painless. As an out of town bride planning her wedding from Texas, it was perfect! Everyone on Ren's team was kind, curtious and professional. The flowers I ordered and my bouquet were so gorgeous, fresh and perfect. I would recommend Ren to everyone looking for a beach wedding. Grant officiated my wedding and greated me with warmth, making me a little less nervous for my big day. Not one detail was overlooked. I can not boast enough about how wonderful my experience was and how special I felt on my big day. They really did make it a priority to make this the happiest day of my life!!
We wanted a small, beach/Cliffside wedding in San Diego, but living in Oklahoma, we were going to be totally dependent on a business that performs destination weddings. After numer...
ous searches and reading multiple reviews, we decided on Seaside Weddings for our March 30th wedding. I worked with Ren, via email, planning our ceremony. The whole process was headache free! We selected our location, chose our package, had many ornamental options to choice from, and Ren was excellent in offering suggestions. We had discussed flowers, nothing particular, and the flowers were absolutely Perfect! They were gorgeous! Grant was our officiant, Cuvier was beautifully decorated, the photographer was great….everyone was professional and made the whole experience extra special. Choosing Seaside Weddings was the best decision and we would recommend them to anyone wanting to plan a beautiful wedding in sunny San Diego!
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 be...
autiful, 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
Ren was amazing! I planned a destination wedding from Texas. Who would've thought you could plan a beautiful wedding all by email?! Everything ran so smooth. Ren was fantastic thou...
ghout the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and so responsive to every email. She was flexible with I changed the start time of the wedding a few times and added a flower girl at the last minute. She designed a gorgeous bouquet for me and my bridesmaid! I gave her very little direction with what I was envisioning but I couldn't have designed one better! Everything was so great! I never got the pleasure of meeting her, but her husband handled the wedding and it was flawless. I really couldn't say enough good things about Ren and her team. If you're looking for a low key, yet beautiful wedding in San Diego, I strongly recommend Seaside Beach Wedding. You won't regret it!
Ren was an absolute pleasure to work with! She made our destination wedding as easy to plan as possible, and made our dream wedding a reality! We couldn't have imagined our day bei...
ng any more beautiful or perfect!
Ren was very on top of everything, and responded immediately to any questions or concerns I had. She took all the stress off of us, which allowed for us to sit back and relax without the normal stresses that come along with planning a wedding.
Amazing work, and I wouldn't have rather had anyone else plan my big day!
Ren's family all did a wonderful job to make sure we had a wonderful destination wedding. At first I was concerned because I only contacted them through e-mail and wasn't sure if ...
it was safe. I came to find out though that all the reviews were excellent and spot on. They were easy to work with and when I needed help on ideas or needed opinions they were able to help me out. It was nice to just have to figure out the small details and show up and have everything set up taken care of before we got there and after the ceremony. They always responded in a timely manner and were able to answer all my question or concerns that I had along the way. I loved our flowers and my bouquet turned out so beautiful I had to go and get it preserved! The photographer that they provided did a wonderful job as well and she was very friendly. Grant did a great job at performing our ceremony, answering any questions, and the son was helpful at getting us lined up and ready to go. I enjoyed working with them!
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 we...
dding 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.
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.
My wife and I wanted to renew our vows after 20 wonderful years. I found Ren and Grant through their web site and got the bowl rolling. Everything was so easy and they were so info...
rmative, since I knew nothing of the San Diego area. Not only did she help me nail down a beach for the ceremony but she also suggested area hotels. Directions and times were clear and easy to understand so all we had to do is show up! As a former wedding photographer I have a better appreciation than most of how a quality team can make your special day less stressful. Highly recommend, and if they are still doing this in another 20 years we will be using them again!
Looking to get married?? This is gands down THE BEST that there is...but you can be the judge! They married us on Feb. 16, 2016. It was the most beautiful day and Seaside weddings ...
topped my day off with being the best! They were very patient (we got lost going to the wedding) an kept their cool even when I couldn't. Rev. Grant was the best. He was funny, caring, polite, and delivered a beautiful ceremony. The photographer was just as sweet an caring I wouldn't have wanted anyone else taking pictures at my most precious moment. Thank you Seaside weddings for making our day even more special than I thought!

storms, Seaside Weddings was able to deliver the requests we had discussed, from finding the most beautiful spot on the beach to providing the most inspiring vows, ones that we will remember forever.

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!

The photographer worked with us and what photos we wanted. He even allowed us to go to a different, nearby location to take pics of my husband and I. The only negative thing about my experiece is that the company van was in my photos of the bridal party walking down the aisle! :(

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.

Ren is very experienced and knowledgeable about all things wedding from vendors to venues.

so far away. I was worried something would go wrong but in the end it was perfect. It was my dream wedding and I can't stop oogling over the pictures. My husband and I wanted something small and intimate and 25 guests were the perfect amount. She was very professional and made sure everyone was comfortable and relaxed. If I were to recommend a place to get married I would recommend Ren because she was amazing!!!
They are very professional. The ceremony turned out exactly how we imagined it!!
Ren is a wonderful wedding officiant. I purchased her California Dreaming wedding package which included everything I needed for my wedding ceremony including the photographer for ...
a very reasonable price. She answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns in a timely manner. She did a wonderful job preforming my ceremony and was even able to laugh with us at my three year old son and my three year old niece who made my ceremony so much fun. My son decided last minute that he would rather throw rose petals than carry the rings and Ren was nice enough to give a bag of petals to throw because my niece didn't want to share hers. Thank you so much Ren for helping make mine and my husbands special day stress free and that much more special.
good
ALL 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 planned a Coronado wedding from Seattle with the help of A Beautiful Wedding. Even before I officially booked with them, Renata quickly answered all of my questions, and kept tha...
t level of communication throughout the entire process. She helped with getting the beach permit, gave us all the info for getting our license, maps, directions and never even batted an eye when I requested lots of specific things (like adding in a poem reading and a blessing). The setup was beautiful, my bouquet gorgeous, the photographer was fantastic and everyone could see and hear the whole ceremony. Grant was a fantastic officiant and made us feel completely at ease. Everything I asked for was included and it made the whole process so easy. Definitely put your big day in their hands, resting assured that you pretty much just have to show up and say "I do". 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!
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 su...
it 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.
If you're looking to plan an outdoor/beach wedding in San Diego, this is where you need to go! I found them online very early on in my planning and I'm so happy I did!
Renate h...
elped me through every step of the planning process. She was so sweet and very knowledgeable which was so nice considering I live in Phoenix and planning a destination wedding can be a huge challenge. You can get everything you need for your ceremony from them, I also rented a sound system for my reception through them, and so if you're looking for a one stop shop they are the perfect choice.
Their team made our wedding day perfect, and was very accommodating when inclement weather required us to move our ceremony last minute to an indoor location. I can't say enough great things about A Beautiful Wedding!
