Jeremie made our big day a breeze! We love his work from his Instagram and reached out. He is so easy to work with and a true expert. His recommendations made the photos and day go so much smoother while capturing our most treasured moments into photos that will now last a lifetime. He is professional, passionate, goes over and beyond for his clients, and so fun to be with. I highly recommend Love Gracefully!

Bibiana, and Lorena were absolutely the best to work with. Bibiana was so wonderful and helpful. Bibiana guided me through every detail, and answered every question all the way up to the event. I surprised my wife with renewing our vows in Paris. It was a perfectly planned day. Ali, (Alex) performed our ceremony and he is such a wonderful person. He made the ceremony very special while devoting his time to us that day. I would recommend Love Gracefully to anyone looking for that special occasion. I can't thank them enough for all their guidance, and professionalism. You can put your trust in this team. It is an experience we will never forget.

Our Love Gracefully planner Belinda was exceptionally supportive, very prompt in responding to any questions while making plans and thoughtfully made suggestions that would augment our experience as well as our travel related to the elopement. We were so happy to work with her. All supporting individuals she secured for us provided wonderful service as well ( e.g. driver, photographer). Everyone involved was warm and engaging throughout the experience. Recommendations for ceremony location, flowers, food afterward, etc were all spot on. The ceremony itself was beautifully written based on information we provided through an easy to use online format. We would highly recommend elopement in beautiful Portugal with Belinda and Love Gracefully.

Thank you to Cristina, Grazia, and the rest of the team at Love Gracefully!

From the beginning, Cristina was amazing at planning a very special proposal for my fiancée and me in the gorgeous town of Castelmola, Sicily.

From planning a photoshoot with Grazia, who was incredible, to booking a reservation at the most stunning restaurant in Castelmola, Cristina was an amazing help every step of the way.

It was truly a dream for my fiancée and I, and we could not be happier.

Thank you to Giulia and team for making our destination wedding at Lake Como, Italy possible. Very attentive at making my wife and I feel comfortable and making us feel special with the photo and video shoot. It was a dram come true!

WOW, What an experience! It's hard to put into words. Belinda flawlessly orchestrated the perfect day filled with memories that will last a lifetime. We eloped in Madeira, Portugal. Working with her was easy and seamless. It was honestly stress-free if you can believe it. After almost 19 years together, we knew we wanted to have a unique experience and Belinda truly NAILED it! I'm absolutely blown away by our photos. We will cherish this memory forever....

We eloped in Nice with Love Gracefully and it we couldn’t have had a better experience. Jeremy, the wedding planner was amazing from start to finish—great communication and so easy to work with. Theo, our officiant, made the ceremony so personal and special. Salomé did my hair and makeup and made me feel so beautiful. Our photographer captured everything perfectly, and our chauffeur kept the day running smoothly. Everything was stress free—we couldn’t recommend them more!

We used Love Gracefully for our elopement in Florence. We had the best experience, everything was taken care of so we had minimal stress and the day was amazing. Better than expected.

Planning our 10-year vow renewal in Santorini while living in the United States felt like it could have been overwhelming—but thanks to Love Gracefully, it was an absolute dream.

From start to finish, Bibiana and Lorena were exceptional. They seamlessly coordinated every detail, guided us through the process with patience and professionalism, and made sure our daughter and parents were meaningfully included in the celebration. Their attentiveness gave us total peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy the experience without stress.

On the day of our ceremony in beautiful Megalochori at sunset, the team created an unforgettable atmosphere. Our photographer, Ioannis, brought warmth and humor that immediately put us at ease, capturing every heartfelt moment with artistry. Our officiant, Stelios, led a ceremony that was both personal and moving—an experience that exceeded everything we had envisioned.

We are so grateful to Love Gracefully for turning our vow renewal into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. If you’re considering a wedding, elopement, or vow renewal abroad, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

We cannot recommend Paola and Love Gracefully enough. We arranged our elopement from Australia with a short time frame and from our first conversation with Paola we knew we had found the right person to coordinate our wedding. The day was stress free, my hair & make up girls were absolutely amazing at helping me get ready.
Selena, our celebrant was wonderful.
Our photos came through within 2 weeks and had us both crying with how beautiful they were. Highly recommend Love Gracefully but in particular Paola.
Thank you for the wonderful memories and making our day perfect 💖🙏
