Rev. Tuttle immediately put my husband and I at ease and was kind enough to ask for any special requests to be included in the ceremony that I had not thought of. He was pleasant and funny and kept the ceremony moving with great stories and advice and many moments to remember and share. Our guests were included and he engaged them with his humor and care as he went through the very personal and intimate service that felt like he created just for us. There was only happiness and joy, no stress or hassle. I highly recommend him and his great photographers Hal and Lia.
GUEST




The wedding day was fantastic. Turned out so much more amazing than I was anticipating! Christopher Tuttle was a wonderful officiant, and made this day so special for us. He did a great job.
GUEST




My wife and I have been married for 13 years. Thanks to Reverend Christopher it feels like we just got married for the first time!! Awesome experience!
GUEST




Very friendly. We arrived to our location early and he was there already waiting for us. Our ceremony was fantastic!!! I highly recommend him in being a part of your special moment.
GUEST




If you are looking for a beautiful ceremony and wonderful people to help you with it AND you're in the military, or even if you are not, I would highly recommend Rev. Christopher Tuttle. Our elopement was breathtaking and more than we could have ever imagined. They are so friendly and willing to work with you on anything. It was the perfect ceremony and we couldn't be happier with the services that were provided.
GUEST




Wow! I can not believe how perfect our day was all thanks to Rev. Christopher! He helped us in the planning of our wedding from start to finish in just 2 short weeks. Our ceramony was perfect and he was so kind. I would never do it any other way!! Thank you so much for such a special day and for all of your help... I HIGHLY recommend Rev. Christopher and Richard with RHS Photography they were both amazing!!! THANK YOU again!
GUEST




everything was perfect. Short, Fast, fun and most importantly romantic. i thought my husband and I wouldn't get married due to the hectic schedule of the military but with the help of Rev. Christopher and military monday's it was able to happen. plain and simple something that we wanted until we save up enough money to have all our family and friends. we enjoyed every moment, it was amazing. i would recommend this to anyone in the military, it is very beneficial.
GUEST




I am still in complete awe as to what Rev. Christopher Tuttle put together for us on such a short notice and there are still people out there that truly do care and are willing to go the extra distance for others simply because they want to. He picked up on exactly what this all meant to us and gave us a more beautiful ceremony than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much to Rev. Christopher Tuttle, Healy with Caprice Strings, Robin with Grand Floral and Brianna with Brianna Noelle Photography .. It was more than we had ever hoped it could be!!
GUEST




Rev Christopher was perfect for our elopement. He had a wonderful way of speaking that instantly made us relaxed so we could enjoy our ceremony and not be so nervous! He was just the right mixture of professional and casual so that the we could laugh a little and just be ourselves, yet feel the seriousness of the commitment we were making to each other. I cannot thank him enough for volunteering his services. We wouldn't have been able to have such a beautiful ceremony otherwise. He made everything so easy. All of my questions were answered on his website and he was prompt in answering emails. Everything was very organized and he was punctual, even though we were not! I will recommend him to everyone I know, which is not something I do often.
GUEST




Rev. Chris made this day so special for us. We wanted a casual, meaningful ceremony and he exceeded our expectations. Thank You!
GUEST




Reverend Christopher did a very nice job with our wedding. It was simple like we wanted it, but very meaningful. I would definitely recomment Reverend Christopher.
GUEST




I couldn't have been happier with my sunset elopement ceremony! Rev. Christopher was excellent! His light-hearted nature was much appreciated. The ceremony was perfect. Definitely more than I could have hoped for.
GUEST




Beautiful locations - La Jolla for us :)
Very personable and friendly!
GUEST




Rev. Christopher far exceeded our expectations for our Military elopement. He kept the service lighthearted and humorous, despite the inclement weather. He provided us with a photographer and a flower bouquet as well. We chose spiritual non-denominational vows, and Rev. Christopher brought my husband and I to tears. Sending the highest of recommendations in hopes to give back what he gave to us.

We had a wonderful experience with Rev. Tuttle! The ceremony was perfect, the location was perfect and he just made it very special for us on our day!
GUEST




We could not have asked for a better experience. This will be a day we remember forever. The location was beyond beautiful. We were very comfortable during the whole day thanks to reverend tuttle. We were laughing and smiling the whole time. We can not express how thankful we are to rev. Tuttle for everything he did for us. We plan on asking him to assist us again in renewing our vows in the future and our family members want to do the same. He made our day perfect and nothing could have made it any more wonderful.
GUEST




Reverend Christopher was just wonderful! Made our moment very meaninful, light hearted, and special~ He included all our guests to be part of such a wonderful evening, and he made us feel very comfortable, relaxed, and able to be *in the moment*. His words touched our heart and he came across as so very genuine. Thank you !!
GUEST




Chris was fun, friendly and we had a wonderful ceramony. He put everything together for our elopement. Thanks Chris this was the happiest event in our lives and you made it great. I will be telling everyone about military mondays. Kari and Sam
GUEST




Rev. Christopher performed my husband and I's ceremony as part of his Military Monday offering. Hands down, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect ceremony. From the very beginning, he was soo nice! He explained everything that we would need to have and even found someone to be the photographer. It was a gorgeous Sunset wedding at La Jolla!! He was funny, caring, and gave us the best elopement we could have asked for. I would recommend Rev. Christopher to anyone hoping to elope!!
GUEST




Rev. Christopher was wonderful when my husband and I decided to renew our vows for our 20th anniversary. He was professional and very personable. He has a wonderful sense of humor and helped us all to relax. We also hired the photographer that he suggested, and Hal and Lisa were great! We were very pleased with the outcome and will definitely be back for our 40th!
GUEST




Reverend Christopher was great! He always got back to me right away with any questions I had. He was a wonderful officiant and made our day special!
GUEST




Thank you Rev. Christopher Tuttle and Amanda Darosett for making our wedding day such a special day! Our ceremony was beautiful thanks to your professional services. Amanda thank you so much for the amazing pictures you took. I could not have asked for anything more.
GUEST




Just amazing service all the way around. So great to be able to relax and just show up! I had the most beautiful location ever. Sunset cliffs was perfect.
GUEST




Rev. Chris is AMAZING! He made our special day the most memorable it could be. He was quick to answer any emails I had since I was out of state, he took care to reassure me when he could sense the nervous in my email, and once you meet him, you want to know him forever, he has such a kind, calming demeanor. He handled my rather large group with ease, making it easy for my husband and I to focus on each other, and the ceremony and words he spoke will not soon be forgotten. Could not have had a better experience!
GUEST




Reverend Christopher provided an amazing experience for our elopement in San Diego. We were a pretty low maintenance couple as far as planning our elopement - our schedule was very short notice and we were plenty busy just trying to round up our friends & family and put together a few personal touches for our ceremony. Rev. Christopher made it extremely easy to figure out what we needed to arrange for our ceremony and line everything up in a short amount of time. In the end we had a beautiful ceremony on the beach at sunset that our friends and family still talk about several months later. Reverend Christopher kept us at ease and the mood lighthearted while he walked us through vows that were just right for us. Definitely highly recommended.
GUEST




I found Rev. Tuttle online through a google search. Then a month before our wedding ww actually got to see him officiate at one of my friends weddings at the Bahia. He brings such wisdom with a great sense of humor. Exactly the two things a wedding needs most to help the couple remember why they are together.
Thank you Rev. Tuttle for making our day so memorable and special.

Rev. Tuttle was awesome. He kept the mood light as my husband was uptight when we first arrived, a bit late. We could not have asked for a better day or a more beautiful wedding. The ceremony was beautiful, the setting was unbelievable and the Rev. Tuttle included our family and friends in the ceremony. We are truely blessed and thank Rev. Tuttle for being a part of our new life together.
GUEST




I had been wanting a simple ceremony that would include about 20 of my closest family and friends and I found 2 websites that promised a simple elopement ceremony for those of us on a budget (my husband and I have 3 kids under the age of 3 - OF COURSE we need a cost-effective ceremony!). I first thought about spending over $1000 to have someone marry us, have their wife take our pictures, but only be allowed to have 5 people in our special day. Then I saw Reverend Tuttle's website and I knew that this was by far, the BEST choice I could make. I could have up to 25 people for a beautiful sunset ceremony on the beach, have my own photographer, and it did not even cost us $400!! I HIGHLY recommend his services!!! Everyone that came to my "wedding" told me that they really liked him, he didn't read the same verse that most officiants recite, instead he gave us his advice and words of wisdom. I am hoping to renew my vows in the years to come and have our children involved this time since they are too young right now and I know exactly who to call to have that done! Thank you Reverend Tuttle, you made my day PERFECT!
GUEST




Rev. Tuttle was absolutely amazing! We could not have asked for a more perfect ceremony. His wonderful mixture of eloquence and humor set the perfect tone for our ceremony. We were indeed blessed to have found him. Our guests commented about his wamrth and touching, heartfelt words about marriage. We just loved our day. We may have to contact him in the future when we renew our vows say in five years.
GUEST




Reverend Christopher was wonderful. He kept the elopement process easy, affordable, and lighthearted.
GUEST




My husband is a Navy Corpsman stationed in San Diego and I am still back home in Omaha, NE. With him stationed we knew that trying to plan a wedding back home would be hard so we decided to have an elopement in San Diego and then have a celebration back home on his next leave. We looked at a few elopement vendors before we found Rev. Tuttle. Not only is his services very reasonable but he also offered free Military Mondays. At first my husband was a little nervous as he did not know Rev. Tuttle but he couldn’t have been move pleased with our service. Rev. Tuttle provided me with a lovely bouquet from Katrina O'Donnell Custom Florals and amazing last minute photography from Robert Andrew Photography, and also tissue; which I forgot ;). Along with my husband’s Navy family, my best friend and my cousin and her husband we had thee most beautiful wedding/elopement on the beach in La Jolla at sunset. Rev. Tuttle spoke some of the best advice and beautiful words that will stick with us for the rest of our life. We started our life as husband and wife that night but we also made a wonderful friend in Rev. Tuttle. There are not enough words to say how thankful we are for him and the services he provided for us. Rev. Tuttle is thee most warm and kind hearted man and anyone would be honored and pleased to have him.
Thank you again! Ryan and Tabitha Yates
GUEST




My husband and I are both in the Army and while dating, we found out that we would be sent to opposite ends of the world for the next 3 years. SO, we decided to elope! We called Reverand Tuttle on a Friday afternoon and he truly was an angel sent to us! When he heard my voice, stressed about how we would squeeze in a wedding over a holiday weekend so we could get stationed together, he told me "Caroline, I hear the stress in your voice, let me see if I can put a smile on your face..." He was absolutely amazing - he insisted that instead of just signing papers in a courtroom that we do something romantic. There we were just a few days later on Monday, having never met previously, he stood with us on a cliff in La Jolla, San Diego, CA and married us in a perfect ceremony. His words were so genuine and encouraging, he truly made the act of marriage so incredibly special for us. Thank you Reverand Tuttle!
GUEST




I have told everyone I know it seems about how wonderful the Reverend was. He and his military heros truly made our day magical. My husband and I married in a sunset ceremony in La Jolla. The weather was chilly but everything else was wonderful. The violinist was amazing, the flowers spectacular and although we were running behind, the photographer and his assistant were determined to get some great shots. The Reverend was very personal and patient. We didnt feel rushed or like just another couple tieing the knott. Thank you to all of them.

It was beyond a blessing to stumble across Rev Christopher. His services went above and beyond our expectations, as for value, there is no price i wouldnt have paid to have made him apart of our special day. The tips he gave us lead us to the perfect vendors, perfect location, perfect time of day and no doubt our ceremony was PERFECT! Would we recommend Rev Christopher?? Over and Over and Over again. Thank you Rev, we will Never forget you!!
GUEST




AMAZING!!! Rev. Tuttle took what would have been a simple trip to the courthouse and made it into the day of our dreams! All of these people who appreciate the military that he brought together for our special day was truly humbling. The ceremony was beautiful; the photography was amazing; the videography was incredible; the flowers were perfect and the violinist topped it all off. All of this was completely free of cost just for doing our duty. Rev. Tuttle and all of his associates are the nicest people in the world and i can never thank them enough. ~ Robert and Erin

GUEST




My husband and I made the best choice ever. Reverend Tuttle is an amazing person, very professional and we were VERY impressed with the civil ceremony - we LOVED it, it was beyond what we expected. We are very happy we had the opportunity to share this special day with him. We thank him for offering the great service that he offers and hope other couples have the chance to share their wedding day with him like we did.

GUEST




Reverend Tutle was by far the best choice we made when selecting an officiant for our wedding. Since my husband and I are both in the Marines Corps he provided us with free service. The location was amazing. Very beautiful and better than anything we could have wished for. He provides his services free of charge on Mondays to military personnel and for that and everything else he did I thank him. Our ceremony was beutiful. And besides the fact that he officiated an amazing ceremony, he also got us a beautiful bouquet and a great photographer, for free! Thank you Rvd Tutle!

I would definately rate Rev. Christopher a 5/5 stars! I couldnt really rate the value for cost because we were part of his Military Mondays, so it was free. I was stressing a little and was slightly nervous at the beginning, but he made us feel so comfortable by the time of the ceremony I had forgotten all my worries. Even though we had never met him before he made us feel so special. You can tell he truly cares and he enjoys doing his job. I would have not changed one thing about our special day with Rev. Christopher. So a BIG Thanks to Rev. Christopher Tuttle for Military Mondays!

Absolutely no complaints. We had a wonderful day and the Reverend and the people that he found worked around everything that we wanted to make the day our own. Thanks again for the services and we are going to remember it forever.
GUEST




Rev. Tuttle was very professional and kind. We were late getting to the ceremony, because we did not use Rev Tuttle's directions, and we got lost. When we finally did arrive, he was there waiting for us, with a smile and warm greeting. I probably should have checked the weather forcast better, because it was much colder than we had expected, but everything turned out beautifully. We couldn't have picked a better officiant. Thank you Rev Tuttle.
GUEST




Reverend Tuttle was absolutely spectacular. We had a rainy wedding day (good luck?), and he was very accommodating while we tried to find a good break in the weather to get married. His kind, beautiful, and genuine words really made the ceremony spectacular, despite the rain.

GUEST




I would recommend Rev. Christopher Tuttle to everyone. He helped make our wedding the most special day of our lives. From the start he made us feel totally comfortable. He went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you thank you thank you.
GUEST




I'm probably NOT a good source for the Value for Cost question because once I found the Reverend Christopher, I didn't look any further. He did an excellent job, we were very impressed with his professionalism and willingness to answer even the dumbest questions!
GUEST




We had our ceremony yesterday afternoon and it was beautiful. Thank You Reverend Christopher Tuttle from the bottom of my heart for providing a special service to Military Service Men & Women.
GUEST




Rev. Tuttle was so nice during the whole process. We really loved all the things he said to us during our ceremony. He responded quickly to our request to be married and was extremely helpful. We were married in La Jolla. We didn't expect things to be so public and to have such a big audience, but it was still really beautiful and special, and Rev. Tuttle tried to make us as comfortable as possible. I would recommend him to any couple either on a budget or wanting to have an elopement worth remembering.
GUEST




It was great. Couldnt have asked for a more pleasant Very friendly, Laid back, and very funny. The interaction and everything was great. Thank you so much for making our wedding happen.
GUEST




I am the mother of the bride and please let me tell you that Rev Christopher exceed all of my expectations in every way. Even my skeptical friend who attend was impressed.
Rev Christopher was very kind, thoughtful, warm, friendly, spoke from his heart, created ease and grace amongst all of us and most of all gave us a beautiful memory of this special day. I am sooooo grateful to him and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Rev Christopher!!

GUEST




I could'nt have asked for a better expierence with Rev. Tuttle. He was very easy going, which made us very comfortable. He made the ceremony very special and intimate and I would recommend him to any bride!
GUEST




Trying to plan a destination wedding is both exciting and frightening, because you really don’t know much about your officiant. However, I had no need to worry. The weather was perfect in San Diego and Rev. Tuttle made us feel we had known him for years!
We chose to elope to San Diego because my husband is in the Marines and is stationed just north of San Diego, CA. Once he was notified of leave, we realized that we had just one month to plan our small wedding! I contacted another officiant first, from "Elope San Diego," that definitely was not good. After hearing about Rev. Tuttle and "Elope TO San Diego," I quickly contacted him about our date and had everything confirmed in less than a day!
Besides being able to schedule so quickly, on the day AND TIME (sunset) that we wanted, he also provided us with information regarding photography (Janis Foley), music options, hotels near San Diego, etc. By booking with him, we were able to receive discounts on each of those options! It was fantastic! An elopement is supposed to be stress-free and not expensive, which is exactly what you get if you use Rev. Tuttle's services.
Finally, I want to mention how nice the ceremony was. We had ours on Coronado Island, just a short drive from San Diego, and as soon as we arrived at the meeting point, we knew everything was going to be prefect. He walked us down to the beach with our photographer and gave us many options to choose from for where we would like to have the ceremony. He offered a few suggestions, and the choice was made quite quickly. He told us how to stand with the sunlight coming from different angles (so we wouldn't be looking directly at the sun - bad for pictures!) as well as talking us through the procedure of the ceremony. He was very funny and made us feel so relaxed and comfortable.
We only had one month to plan our wedding, and I have to say that God definitely took a hand in helping us plan it. All things happen for a reason, and I believe Rev. Tuttle was an answer to my prayers! After all, how often is it that you can find a Christian wedding officiant, in the location you want, at the exact time and day that you want? It's rare, and I'm so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him and be married by him! Thanks Rev. Tuttle, for everything!
GUEST




Ok, so I felt SOOOOOO bad for the Rev. I was VERY VERY late and he waited as long as he could. But he waited and was the sweetest man ever! We loved him.
GUEST




My husband and I are both officers in the Army and before we were married, found out that I was being sent to Germany for 3 years and my husband to Texas. With only one weekend to figure things out before I had to leave for Germany, stress was at an all time high. On Friday, October 8, 2011, on a trip to visit friends in San Diego, we decided we were going to get married so we could both go to Texas together. That afternoon I called around to ministers who'd be able to help out on such short notice, but no luck. However, when Rev. Tuttle answered the phone I knew Immediately that he was our angel! He told me to take a breath and relax because he would make it all work. He was unphased when I told him the only chance to wed was two days later, and kept reassuring me everything would work out. Sure enough, Rev. Tuttle made the elopement incredibly special. He insisted we have it in a romantic location not just an office, and offered his services free of charge as part of his military Mondays program. He had fellow vendors donate gorgeous flowers and photography. He performed a beautiful ceremony with some incredibly touching and memorable advice. I will forever remember the words he shared with us. Afterwards he took care of all the paperwork and made the entire process incredibly simple, stressfree and enjoyable. We are forever indebted to him for his kindness and generosity. If it weren't for him, I would be in Germany right now wishing I could be with my husband. Instead I'm here in Texas sharing our lives together! Thank you Rev Tuttle!

GUEST




My husband and I chose to elope because we did not want the expense and drama that comes with a traditional large wedding. Additionally, we live in AZ but wanted to get married in San Diego because of it's beautiful location and also because we vacationed there the weekend we got engaged. We found Rev. Tuttle's Elope to San Diego online. He was great to work with and although we only communicated with him through email until the day of the elopement, the information he provided was very helpful and made us confident and comfortable w/ his services. The ceremony was perfect for us - he has a great sense of humor and put us at ease immediately. If you're looking for something meaningful yet simple and sweet, this is the way to go.
GUEST




Rev. Christopher married us this October in Coronado and we could not have planned it to go better. Our wedding day was perfect. If you are looking for an officiant, he truly is awesome to use. Communication prior to the ceremony was clear and he always addressed questions and concerns quickly and in a caring manner. On the day of our ceremony, he was there early and quickly put my husband at ease with his personal manner. He was considerate and caring of all those present, but most of all made the ceremony special with what he said and how he said it. We did not feel this was some generic ceremony, but very personal and special to the two of us. Our sand ceremony was beautiful and included my two children. Rev. Christopher's referral to our photographer, Richard from RHS Photo, was also fantastic as he made the time memorable and fun. Thank you, Rev. Christopher.. We will have beautiful, lasting memories to come.
GUEST




Rev. Chris Tuttle was wonderful!!! Our ceremony was personal and very special!!! I highly recommend using his services!!!!
GUEST




We just want to thank Reverend Christopher and Elope to San Diego for the most wonderful ceremony! After looking online we were a little reserved about booking someone...once I contacted and spoke with the Reverend we were sold! It was wonderful, personal and easiest part of all that we did! Thanks again for everything.
GUEST




What more can I say about our experience? Wow! Rev. Christopher Tuttle renewed vows for my husband and I on our anniversary. We spoke once on the phone, although most communication was via email. I immediately felt at ease and comfortable with him. He is attentive, professional and kind. We renewed our vows on the beach in La Jolla. It was amazing!!! He handled our vow renewal with grace, love and wisdom. It was a beautiful day and we could not have picked a more perfect person to share that day with. If you are looking for a great alternative to elope or renew your vows, look no further than Rev. Christopher Tuttle with Elope to San Deigo. You will NOT regret it, I promise!!!!
GUEST




Rev. Christopher was awesome! Although I hadn't met him until our wedding day, he made us feel as though he'd known us forever. He was fun and kind and made us feel very special. He tailored our ceremony/elopement to our specific needs. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant! I highly recommend Rev. Christopher to any bride wanting a special and memorable wedding ceremony! He's the BEST!
GUEST




Rev. Christopher was amazing! We did not meet him until the ceremony but he exceeded all of our expectations! It was a beautiful ceremony and we received many great comments about him. He made us laugh and we felt very comfortable the entire time. He is very professional, personable and well spoken. He was easy to contact and answered all of our questions. Thank you so much for making our ceremony so memorable!
GUEST




We are so glad to have found and worked with Rev. Tuttle. Our ceremony was so last minute and all over the place, but turned out to be better than we imagined. He was so accommodating, walked us through everything, and made our special day easy and stress free. Our ceremony was on July 19, 2010. Rev. Tuttle was a pleasure to work with, and we couldn't thank him enough for working with us.
GUEST




Wow, totally amazed by the professionalism and attitude of Rev Tuttle. He made the experience of marriage exciting and energetic, while making a comfortable atmosphere with his humor and character. Rev Tuttle made the process of marriage easy, fast and affordable. I strongly reccomend his services for anyone looking for a unique way to elope in San Diego. Also ask about his portrait partner Richard Santini, who provided excellent photography service for our event.
Sincerely the Koenig's
GUEST




He was very nice and made me laugh away some of the nerves!!

Rev. Christopher was great! He was very professional and had a lot of helpful suggestions for us since we were coming from out of town. He stood there beside us even though the weather wasn't cooperating...what more can I say. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.
GUEST




We were extremely pleased with Reverend Tuttle! He made us feel comfortable as soon as we met him and he is one of the most cheerful and pleasant people you could meet. The service was perfect and everything he said had a great deal of meaning and sentiment. He truly did help make our wedding day special and unforgetable.
GUEST




So easy and great people to work with. No worries and a great and beatuiful ceremony. Our photographer was also amazing Richard Santini. These two together made our special day PERFECT!!!!!!!!!
GUEST




Rev. Christopher Tuttle is a wonderful and humble person. Getting married is not an easy task, but with all the help and information given to us by Rev. Tuttle, he made the event hassle free. Thus, we would like to thank him very much for making our day very special and memorable one. So from us to all the future couples, I highly recommend Reverend Christopher Tuttle to perform a beautiful and memorable ceremony. Robin & Wynne
GUEST




We were canceled at the last minute by "another" elopement service in San Diego. I was actually relieved, as they had been very unresponsive and not at all accomodating. I contacted the Reverend a month before our planned wedding date and he was friendly, accomodating, and made me feel as though everything was getting taken care of, for half the price of the other company! His follow up was fantastic, I always felt like he could be relied upon. He also was happy to accomodate our request for a different time of day than we originally planned. He showed up on time and was friendly and warm, seemed to genuinely enjoy what he does. I would recommend him to anyone.
GUEST




Reverend Christopher Tuttle was the most amazing and down to earth man I have ever met. He was charming and helpful with any mundane questions I may have had. He was always calm; even on the BIG day, everyone had gotten lost on the way to our wedding and we couldn't find him. I was scared that he would use that against us... but he talked us through every turn until we found him. Marrying my husband was the most wonderful thing in the world, and he made it more special by making sure the focus was on us. I would recomend him to anyone and everyone regardless if you're eloping or having a small/large wedding. He made it simple and easy and my wedding day was memorable because I didn't have to worry about any of the small things once we arrived at our destination. Attentive to details and always on top of everything, the Reverend never made it feel to us that he was performing a job. He was happy to see two young couples get married... and was honored to be asked to be a part of our union. That alone made him -- hands down -- a great officiant.
GUEST




My husband and I live in Michigan and wanted to elope on the sandy beaches of California. We ended up picking LaJolla. I was apprehensive to find a minister online but I couldn't have been happier with choosing Rev. Christopher. I would highly recommend him for your elopement.
GUEST




Rev. Tuttle made our special day extra special. Great price, great location and a very memorable ceremony!
GUEST




Our wedding was definitely everything we expected it to be and more, would not change a thing! We made all the arrangements online, never spoke to anyone personally, everything was confirmed via email, so needless to say we were putting alot of faith in our research, and Elope To San Diego, and Reverend Tuttle! I never even spoke to the Reverend until our wedding day, and I am here to tell you, he was great! The photographer was included in the package we purchased, and he was also wonderful to work with!! Ceremony was beautiful, Photos were awesome, setting was phenomenal! Reverend Christopher did everything to help us make our day, a very special one to remember! New Years Eve in La Jolla, at sunset, 2009, will always be the most beautiful, and memorable, day of my life.
GUEST




Simply put, Rev. Christopher Tuttle is amazing. He made our day so very special. I searched the internet when we decided to get married in San Diego. No other officiant gave me the peace of mind that he did. From the moment I filled out our questionnaire, he was all over it. He was attentive but NEVER pushy. We were already planning a trip to San Diego for my son's graduation from Marine Corps Boot Camp and decided we'd get married while we were there. Being from a small east Texas town, I was a little intimidated by the pace of the big city, but he made things so simple. It?s harder than you think to plan a wedding 1600 miles from home. So I didn?t, Rev. Tuttle did!! I did absolutely nothing!! His site helped us find lodging, where to get the license, and told me step by step exactly what to do. The package we selected included a photographer and she (Janis Foley) was amazing as well!! The two of them were so professional but at the same time, so relaxed. My husband and I could both tell he has a passion about what he does. Though I?ve only met him in person once, I will forever consider him a friend.

Rev. Tuttle really performed the perfect wedding for us--small, intimate, and a ceremony that was about us and not about anything else. We did one of his packages that included a photographer, who was also fantastic. (You don't think about it, but having someone suggest poses is very, very helpful, as is having a photographer with the right flash to correct for the shadows cast on a sunny day!) Rev. Tuttle was very professional and offered tremendous value for the fee we paid.

Rev. Christopher Tuttle is thorough - you will know from Day 1 what you can expect of him and what he expects of you. He is professional, personable and polished. However, it's not just a "business" for him. He showed, through every communication, that he cares about each couple and about making their elopement (or wedding) as unique as the couple.
He is knowledgeable of locations, vendors, services, dates, etc. He never steered us wrong. He was up front, honest and open. There were no "hidden" costs or surprises. Best of all - we'd never met before the service yet, through his communications, when we arrived, I felt as if we were already friends. I couldn't have been happier with him!

I was so afraid of trusting anyone whom I might find on internet, that I spent days looking for someone who could raise my confidence. Eventually I found Rev. Christopher's web site which was extremely informative, and I decided to give it a try. The first time i called him made it clear that this person is really there for me! He picked up or called back every time I called him. He helped us with the photographer, and did not charge for it. Every word written on the web side or said by Rev. Christover is true! And the ceremony was even better than we expected! I cried listening to his words, he enspired us for more light than we had had between us, he just opened our eyes to it, opened our hearts to it by sharing some advise from his life and reminding us of life wisdoms which we did not think about. If you want to remember your ceremony as something beautiful and magical, work with Rev. Christopher!

Rev. Tuttle's Elope to San Diego package was a God send for me. Choosing someone I never met before to do the most important aspect of my ceremony was very stressful. My ceremony took place in La Jolla, San Diego, but I lived in Los Angeles. Therefore, I knew picking an officiant through online research would be the best bet for me. I did a lot of research on officiants in the San Diego area. I read reviews, checked credentials, check the Better Business Bureau, etc. I narrowed my choice down to about three officiants, and I found that Rev. Tuttle was the best choice for us. I am a huge, huge proponent for professionalism, especially for something as important as my wedding day. Rev. Tuttle exceeded my expectations. We talked on the phone and he had a great personality and sense of humor, he was very patient with me and all my questions via email and phone, and he was very prompt and responsive to all my questions I asked him. Rev. Tuttle was extremely flexible with our ceremony needs. When I booked Rev. Tuttle's services, I made a big mistake and booking the ceremony for a later time than what we really needed by an hour (I don�t know what I was thinking). Also, at the same time, I was booking other things for a time that would conflict with the ceremony, such as the reception dinner. About two months prior to the ceremony date, I was confirming a couple of things with Rev. Tuttle and he notice the time I said in the email to him was different than the time I originally requested. Even though Rev. Tuttle had another ceremony prior to our ceremony, he told me that he would do his best to move up our ceremony start time so my husband and I would not be late to our reception. On the day of the ceremony, Rev. Tuttle came through for us and everything worked out. The ceremony was amazing because he made the ceremony feel so intimate and personal just for us. My husband and I, the best man and maid of honor both cried. My husband and I both agreed that Rev. Tuttle made our moment so special and something we will never forget. My maid of honor said "we did it right" with the small ceremony and she also said it was the best ceremony she ever witnessed. One thing that also stood out for me was the fact that even though we got married on a public beach with many onlookers and even with the photography going on in the background, the setting and the emotion Rev. Tuttle gave our ceremony was so amazing that it felt like it was just me and my husband there together alone looking into each other�s eyes exchanging vows. Thanks Rev. Tuttle for all your help and your amazing service you provided us!
Always a pleasure, to work with Rev. Christopher and he trully deserves all of the cheers he gets from vendors and couples!!

THE KEYS TO THE SUCCESS OF ELOPE TO SAN DIEGO:
Unlike most of the other elopement services offered in the area, I don't take a commission or referral payment from any vendor working with me. Each vendor believes in my Elope TO San Diego concept;
to provide professional services without the high costs associated with the word "wedding" or, they are simply not part of my Elope TO San Diego family. Plus, I don't have a family member as the photographer and force you
to use them. You are more than welcome to find your own and shop around.....It's your day and most importantly, it's an Elopement!
SAVING MONEY
Let's face facts, if you wanted to spend thousands on your wedding day and participate in the pomp and circumstance of a traditional wedding, you wouldn't be eloping! So why come to San Diego and hire someone that
will over-charge you? And trust me, there are a few that will!!! Whatever the idea; a quiet moment in one of many beautiful parks in America's Finest City's or a "barefoot in the sand" ceremony along the Bay or the Pacific ...Elope
TO San Diego is designed to help you put everything together.
THE STORY BEHIND THE MAGIC
Elope TO San Diego was created by Reverend Christopher Tuttle, an AWARD WINNING San Diego and Temecula Wine Country Wedding Officiant after hearing about a couple that paid over $1,000 just to elope!
Knowing that couples simply want an alternative to Vegas and the Courthouse (and because he loves sunsets on the coast), he put his plan together; To offer professional and romantic elopement services to couples without overcharging couples. Since
that blessed day, he has helped over one thousand couples from around the world Elope TO San Diego by not only creating an unforgettable elopement ceremony, but by helping couples find lodging, photographers and even offering
restaurant suggestions and lodging. This is what Rev. Christopher does, full time and is an exciting and romantic part of his wedding ministry! This is what sets him a part from the others. 100% focus on weddings and his couples, How many others can say
that! Rev. Christopher then researched, interviewed and brought together many top quality wedding vendors in the area that believe in the Elope TO San Diego concept and have agreed to offer special rates and services just for
Elope TO San Diego couples. "An elopement should not be expensive, what it should be is; a special moment without the hassles and expense of a wedding!" - Rev. Christopher - Elope to San Diego. On a local wedding
magazine website they sell their referral services to local vendors with the following statement..."It is time you get a piece or a bigger piece of this gold filled wedding cake!" Don't you feel special knowing that most wedding vendors are out
for your money?

LA JOLLA
La Jolla in Spanish means "The Jewel". It is the Jewel of America's finest city, San Diego. La Jolla is located 15 minutes from downtown San Diego. It has wonderful beaches, cultural activities and fine restaurants. La Jolla is an exquisite combination of a southern European resort atmosphere and Southern California fun.
With four different locations to choose from for your elopement; Park setting, cliffs, rocks or feet in the sand, The La Jolla location is the most popular for eloping couples.

CORONADO
Coronado is a peninsula, a very small island town located across the bay from downtown San Diego, California. It is about 7.4 square miles and is accessed by way of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge or by ferry boats from downtown San Diego.
Coronado Island is best know for the historic Hotel Del Coronado and makes for a beautiful backdrop for elopement photos. Eloping couples can choose from two locations; The beach of the Hotel Del Coronado or Bay
View Park with an awesome view of the San Diego Skyline.

Sunset Cliffs lies south of Ocean Beach and has several beaches below. Named for its exquisite sunset vistas, Sunset Cliffs Park encompasses 68 acres of bluffs and walking paths high above the wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean.
Sunset Cliffs is a small area with two areas for elopements. Each can be very secluded or very busy depending on the time of year. There are some locations that are perfect for just the three of us and a
photographer (not for the faint of heart standing on the edge of a cliff) and other spots than can handle a few guests.

-----------------------------------------
DEL MAR
Del Mar is a wonderful little coastal city known for the Del Mar Race Track "Where the surf meets the turf" and has a few little gems of locations. One is very busy near SeaGrove Parka nd the other much more
secluded just south of Del Mar Heights on the cliffs above Torrey Pines beach.
