California dreamin'... who doesn't? And is there anything this state doesn't have to offer as a destination wedding location? Even the names of these areas in California should conjure beautiful, romantic images: Mendocino, La Jolla, Malibu, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Napa Valley, Tahoe, Hollywood, San Diego, Sausalito...the possibilities are endless.

California is a big state, with 1264 miles of Pacific Ocean coastline and 4.1 million acres of park land, endless entertainment activities, a rich mix of cultures, and a remarkable variety of geographical regions, from the snowy peaks of the Sierras, old-growth redwood forests, vineyards and central valley farmland to beaches that vary from San Diego's surf heaven to the dramatic wild seascapes of Mendocino and points north.

Perhaps your California wedding fantasy is a Hollywood production in glitzy Beverly Hills, or maybe you'd like to let the world know that Eureka! you've found your true love, in the beautiful gold rush setting of the Sierra foothills.
