We truly couldn’t have asked for a more magical experience. From the very beginning, our wedding planner went above and beyond—handling every detail with such care, warmth, and professionalism. Planning an elopement from abroad can be stressful, but they made the entire process feel effortless and personal. Camilla was amazing and responded to every text and email!

The location, the timing, the special touches—they thought of everything. It felt like they genuinely cared about making our day perfect, and they absolutely delivered.

And the photographers? Simply incredible. They were so easy going and fun. I felt very comfortable! We cant wait to see our photos and video!

If you’re considering an elopement in Italy, stop searching and book with them—you won’t regret it.

We had a great experience with Love Gracefully. Ksenija helped us plan our very small, remote wedding in Dubrovnik. Everything was very easy to plan with her and she was a great communicator. On the actual wedding day, there were no hiccups and everything was as expected! Everyone was on time - the hair and makeup was great! - the photographers were excellent and very personable - the flower arrangements were beautiful! Overall, great experience and would recommend to others!

My wife and I got married in Santorini in June, and it was the most incredible experience! We were on a Mediterranean Royal Caribbean cruise that stopped in Santorini. The entire Love Gracefully team (Lorena and Bibiana) helped us every step of the way and were flexible, knowing that sometimes things can be very unpredictable on a cruise ship. They answered all of my questions and were extremely helpful. I can't recommend them enough! They helped us coordinate not only the ceremony, but also the transportation for myself and our 12 guests, recommended a restaurant for us after, and more.

Thank you so much!!

I could not be more thrilled with the services provided by Love Gracefully for our Spain elopement. I was hesitant travelling from Canada to book our wedding online, provide payment virtually etc. but it was incredible! I arrived at my hotel the day before our ceremony and my bouquet was already in my room and exactly what I had envisioned, the next morning a Mercedes van picked us up to take us to our ceremony location, our driver was wonderful! The photographer and officiant were there when we arrived and everything went off without a hitch. It was everything we dreamed of and the service provided was top notch. Do not hesitate to book with Love Gracefully! I questioned if the prices were too good to be true but it was perfect, the photos speak for themselves!

We had a very small ceremony in Lake Como. Eleonora was very helpful to us and all went smooth. She is warm and professional and makes you forget about the stress.

Love gracefully made our elopement in Como so memorable . Eleonora was an amazing coordinator and answered all of our questions. She made the process a breeze and was very flexible with our ceremony . They are very busy, so be patient on emails. Once everything gets closer she handles everything perfectly . Our videographer and photography , Roberto and Federico, made the experience so fun and captured the moments of laughter and tears . I couldn’t recommend this company enough and thank you again for your excellent service .

A Truly Magical Day – Forever Grateful to Paola
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our wedding in Venice was nothing short of a dream come true, and it’s all thanks to Paola and her incredible team. What started as a simple elopement turned into the most beautiful, intimate mini wedding—with a reception that completely exceeded anything I could have imagined.

From the beginning, Paola made everything feel effortless. Planning from abroad can be overwhelming, but she handled every detail with care, professionalism, and so much heart. She really listened and understood what we wanted—and somehow made it even more beautiful.

The hair and makeup were flawless. When I looked in the mirror, I had to really try not to cry, it looked so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Walking down the aisle to the sound of Con Te Partirò played live on violin was one of the most emotional moments of my life—something I will never forget. The videography and photography captured every second so beautifully—we’ll cherish those memories forever.

One of my favorite parts was the romantic gondola and boat ride with my husband while our guests were transported to the reception venue for drinks and hors d’oeuvres. It was such a peaceful, magical moment in the middle of all the excitement, and it meant the world to us.

Every piece of the day was thoughtful, elegant, and filled with love. We felt completely supported throughout the whole process, and in the end, it was even more special than we ever imagined.

Paola, grazie mille from the bottom of our hearts for creating such a perfect day. 💕✨

We used Love Gracefully for our Lake Como elopement. Giulia and her team were amazing. They made sure all of the details were covered. The photographer and videographer were also amazing. I would definitely recommend Love Gracefully to anyone looking to elope.

I have so much gratitude for the life I have: being of service to couples from all over the world! Looking into the eyes of the couples I marry while they share their vows is a magical experience and a real privilege. I love to create ceremonies that are not only unique but most importantly, meaningful. In this way I know I am making a difference in a world that, sometimes, doesn’t make much sense…”
