We used Love Gracefully for our 30th Anniversary and renewal of vows in Santorini, Greece. Bibiana and Lorena were unbelievable to work with. They took care of everything and were flexible when the cruise ship arrival was a little later than planned. Our officiant was great and bonus points that he was a Robert Downey Jr Doppelgänger. The photographer that they booked was very professional and the photos are spectacular. I highly recommend love gracefully and would use again when we hit the 50th anniversary

I was very skeptical about using any marriage service especially in a country we had never traveled to. I did my research and went with Love Gracefully and hoped we weren’t being scammed especially since some payments were required upfront. I am so glad we went with Love Gracefully. Communicating with the company was easy and they answered all of our questions without any hesitation. They made sure we were clear on everything that was going to happen and they listened to what we wanted. The photographer, the officiant and the driver were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They recommended the greatest areas of Paris to take great pictures and we could not have been happier. If you are still debating whether this company is legit…like my wife and I were debating….rest assured that they are and it was a great experience. Thank you Love Gracefully for a wonderful experience and making our wedding day absolutely memorable.

Our elopement day with Love Gracefully was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and attention to detail. A huge shout out to Eleonora, our wonderful coordinator, who truly went above and beyond to make our day so special.
She was incredibly organised, responsive, and kind — always one step ahead and making sure we felt relaxed and taken care of. Every detail, from the ceremony setup to the little touches, was exactly what we envisioned (and even better!).
We couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience. Thank you, Love Gracefully and Eleonora, for making our elopement so beautiful and unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone dreaming of a stress-free, perfectly planned celebration!

We did our wedding ceremony in Mykonos, with Yannis as our coordinator / photographer. The photos were AMAZING, completely went above our expectations. It was clear that Yannis knew all the best spots and was very experienced. The setting in Mykonos is beautiful and we had no problems getting photos in the areas where there were a lot of tourists walking around. Yannis also made sure to get photos in areas that were not crowded as well (we did our wedding in October which is towards the end of the tourist season so that also helped). Our ceremony was timed perfectly to be at sunset and made a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and photos. We bought the gold package (€2370) which included: photoshoot (before, during, and after the ceremony), driver pick-up and drop off, champagne bottle, bouquet of flowers, and wedding officiant. We chose to have our wedding at the small Red Church location near Little Venice, it was perfect for us and our other 6 guests. They do provide you with a few other location options and you can choose the best one depending on your needs. All the locations were outdoors and public places. There was an option to have an indoor private venue but that would have been an extra cost. We were able to provide input on the wedding officiant's script for the ceremony. Which was nice because we were able to personalize the ceremony and add in special messages we wanted to be said to our family members who were in attendance. Overall, it was wonderful and we were very happy to have Love Gracefully as our choice for wedding elopement. We would highly recommend it!!

We chose Love Gracefully for our Lake Como small wedding. All communication with Giulia was quick and speedy, she was happy to answer any questions we had. It happened to be storming the day of our wedding and she was able to push everything back for us. She also facilitated renting a terrace so our guests wouldn’t get wet. All of our vendors were incredibly sweet and talented! We recently got back our photos and video, they are amazing! Shoutout to Alessandro and Nicholas!!

Eloped in south France in Eze; Jeremie was a legend. My partner and I had never had professional photos done before & they turned out stunning - nothing felt awkward like I thought it would. The process was so smooth start to finish. Great experience overall.

We chose Love Gracefully via a google search. Our wedding took place in Taormina, Sicily. We contacted Cristina on Monday and were married on Friday. Very easy process. Price reasonable. Cristina and her team were great and guided us along the way. The videos were very helpful in choosing a location. We chose a beautiful location. We were picked up by a driver and dropped back off. Pictures came out great. Would highly recommend for a destination wedding if you want something simple. Turned out better than we could have expected on such short notice. Would highly recommend. Maybe we'll come back for a vow renewal!

We had a gorgeous wedding in Paris’ Bagatelle Gardens. Bibiana recommended the garden because of the time of day (6pm) and to ensure a beautiful, intimate setting…and it certainly was all of that and more. Our officiant Alex did an excellent job…his humor, and romantic voice as well as his old world charm made us feel like we were in a fairytale. And Stephen our photographer did an exceptional job capturing us in candid, fun, romantic, and endearing ways that will forever be in our memories and our hearts. Our driver Renaud was kind and considerate and even dropped us off at the restaurant rather than where he picked us up. All and all…amazing and highly recommended. If I were to give one bit of constructive feedback it would be that the communication was sometimes slow, and a bit nerve wracking only receiving our logistics the day before we flew to Paris. But once we were there, the ceremony was beyond our expectations.

Working with Jeremie and his team for our elopement in the South of France was an absolute dream. Everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and warmth from start to finish. They arranged a private vehicle to take us to each location, and our driver was incredible. He was punctual, kind, and made the entire experience feel seamless and elevated.

The media we received is breathtaking. Every photo and video captured the magic of the day with stunning detail and artistry. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

We would 100% recommend Love Gracefully to anyone in our lives considering getting married in the region. They made our elopement unforgettable, and we’re endlessly grateful.

Lorena and her team were awesome to work with and a did a great job coordinating our 10 year vow renewal in Paris! Great communication and very professional. They made sure that the entire process was smooth from start to finish, from our driver to the photographer down to the officiant. Our photographer Pierre was amazing by the way! We could not have asked for a better experience. If you're thinking about using Love Gracefully, DO IT!
