In a world where weddings often feel like extravagant productions, pop-up wedding ceremonies stand out as intimate, spontaneous, and deeply personal. Picture exchanging vows on a sun-drenched San Diego beach, atop a cliff with the Pacific as your witness, or in a lush park surrounded by nature’s embrace. These micro-weddings eliminate the overwhelm, honing in on what truly matters: love, connection, and a moment that’s uniquely yours. Even the simplest ceremonies deserve a touch of magic—and that’s where Booths & Backdrops excels. With our expertise in event styling, custom backdrops, florals, AV solutions, permitting, and more, we’re ready to transform your pop-up wedding vision into a stunning reality.
The Charm of Pop-Up Weddings
Pop-up weddings are all about flexibility and heart. They’re perfect for couples who want a low-stress, budget-friendly alternative to traditional weddings without sacrificing beauty or meaning. Whether it’s a group of 20 gathered on Mission Beach or a cozy 40-person ceremony at Kate Sessions Park, these events thrive on simplicity and authenticity. The beauty lies in their adaptability—be it a sunrise vow exchange, a sunset elopement, or a quick “I do” in a hidden garden. But don’t let the word “simple” fool you; a pop-up wedding can still dazzle with the right details, and that’s where Booths & Backdrops shines.
How Booths & Backdrops Brings Your Vision to Life
At Booths & Backdrops, we believe every love story deserves a stage—however big or small. Our full suite of services ensures your pop-up wedding is as breathtaking as it is effortless. Here’s how we make it happen:
1. Event Styling: Crafting Your Perfect Scene
A pop-up wedding doesn’t mean skimping on style. Our event styling team specializes in creating cohesive, Instagram-worthy aesthetics tailored to your vibe. Want a boho-chic ceremony with macramé accents on Sunset Cliffs? Or a modern minimalist setup at Embarcadero Marina Park? We’ll design every detail—chairs, signage, aisle runners—to reflect your personality. From rustic to romantic, we bring the vision you’ve pinned on Pinterest to life, even in the smallest spaces.
2. Custom Backdrops: A Picture-Perfect Moment
No wedding is complete without a stunning focal point, and our custom backdrops are the heart of your ceremony. Whether it’s a floral arch framing the ocean at Cuvier Park or a sleek geometric screen at Balboa Park’s Zoro Garden, we design backdrops that elevate your “I do” moment. Our team works with you to choose materials, colors, and textures—think lush greenery, soft drapery, or bold wooden frames—ensuring your backdrop isn’t just a prop, but a statement. Plus, it doubles as a photo booth for those must-have post-vow shots!
3. Flowers & Bouquets: Nature’s Finest Touch
Flowers add soul to any wedding, and our floral services bring that magic to your pop-up. From delicate bouquets for the bride and boutonnières for the groom to cascading arrangements for your backdrop, we source fresh, seasonal blooms to match your theme. Picture wildflowers for a Torrey Pines cliffside ceremony or elegant roses for a Mission Bay moment—we handle it all. Our designs are portable yet impactful, perfect for a pop-up’s on-the-go nature.
4. Audio & Video: Capture and Amplify the Day
A small wedding doesn’t mean small memories. Our Audio-Video services ensure your vows are heard and your day is preserved. We provide discreet, high-quality sound systems for outdoor spaces—crucial on windy beaches like Mission Beach or Kate Sessions Park—so every guest catches every word. Want to live-stream to loved ones who can’t attend? We’ve got you covered with professional video setup. And for a keepsake, our team can record and edit a highlight reel of your pop-up, turning fleeting moments into forever treasures.
5. Permitting: Stress-Free Logistics
Navigating permits can be the trickiest part of a pop-up wedding, but with Booths & Backdrops, it’s a breeze. Whether you’re eyeing a city beach like Ocean Beach or a park like Pioneer Park, we handle the red tape. We coordinate with the City of San Diego Parks and Recreation or California State Parks to secure your spot—think $200-$350 for city permits or $200-$300 for state beaches—ensuring compliance with guest limits, setup rules, and insurance requirements. You focus on the love; we’ll tackle the paperwork.
6. One-Stop Coordination
Beyond these core offerings, we’re your pop-up wedding wizards. Need chairs for 30 at Presidio Park? Done. A small table for a unity ceremony at Playa Pacifica? Sorted. We even offer add-ons like silk petals (where allowed) or fairy lights for a twilight glow. Our goal is to streamline your day so you can savor it, not sweat it.

Real Pop-Up Inspiration
Picture this: A 25-guest ceremony at Kate Sessions Park. The sun dips toward the horizon, casting golden light over the Pacific. Our team sets up a circular wooden arch draped in eucalyptus and blush roses, framing the couple against the skyline. Guests sit on woven blankets (no permit fuss for under 25!), and our wireless mic captures every vow. A bouquet of peonies rests in the bride’s hands, and our video team records it all. Post-ceremony, the backdrop becomes a photo booth as the couple snaps candids with the sunset. Booths & Backdrops made it seamless—and unforgettable.
