Enchanting Small Wedding
on the
Oregon Coast

When it comes to a small intimate wedding, the Oregon Coast offers a breath-taking backdrop to get married in front of. With its rugged coastal cliffs, beautiful sandy beaches, and glowy sunsets, it makes sense why couples from all over are choosing this enchanting location to have a small wedding on the Oregon Coast.

Kayla and Joe wanted to get married at an adventurous location that was also accessible to their closest family and friends. The Oregon Coast has a great balance of amazing views, while also not requiring miles and miles of hiking to get to. Beaches are some of the best elopement locations to have family at, because you can fit a lot of people in one location that doesn’t damage/impact the vegetation. There are less restrictions for wedding ceremonies on the beach compared to certain trailheads and National Parks. One of the best parts about planning a small wedding on the Oregon Coast is that you can have your ceremony on the beach with your family, and explore epic coastal cliff views and Redwood green forests nearby.
