San Diego library offers budget wedding option

Zoom in: Weddings are held on the library's Epstein Bayview Terrace, which has views of the bay and skyline.

• The events have to be pretty bare bones, with no food or drink, no live music, and outdoor vendors limited to one officiant and one photographer.
• Time slots are on select Mondays and Tuesdays of each month.

Yes, but: The idea is to provide a budget-friendly option, Misty Jones, the San Diego Public Library director, told Axios.

• "It's for people who don't want to do the whole big, huge ceremony, but then also don't want to go down to the courthouse," she said. "Who want to have something that's a little special, a little different, and I think we have one of the best views in town."

The library also offers event space for much bigger events.

The intrigue: Jones said she's thinking about becoming ordained so she can offer the full package.
