I wanted to surprise my wife with a renewal of vows after 30 great years of marriage. So I started planning it in January 4 kids and partners all in on the secret. She knew we were going somewhere for 3 days but that was it and it was just the 2 of us or so she thought. I needed help to organise so I googled Venice marriage and up came Love Gracefully a company that organises marriages and renewals etc. I contact Paola Filipina who manages the Venice side of this company. She was so helpful with all aspects of the trip from checking out the hotel we booked to booking dinner reservations in the best restaurants with fantastic tables ,obviously connection's work.Again like most people booking online I was sceptical of prepaying to book a venue or a violinist or bouquets of flowers but I shouldn't have been as this company and in particular Paola took all worries and headaches away. On our big day Paola had organised the flowers bouquets , the violinist , photographer , celebrant , the venue , water taxi , scala contarini ,cafe Florian after and restaurant to too it off.Tip if you can get Paola to do the photograhy/videogrphy then do She is excellent. 2 weeks later all photos arrived by email one word stunning.She kept in constant communication both pre and post big day and I can't thank her enough.For the record I don't know Paola and never met her or used love gracefully services before but she is a credit to the company and always had our best interest at heart.Don't go elsewhere you are missing outJody Deirdre May 2025

We recently eloped in Florence and Love Gracefully exceeded every possible expectation! They handled everything from the location, flowers, celebrant, photography, hair and makeup. Lorena and Bibiana communicated all the details. All we had to do was show up. Everything went off smoothly and beautifully. The location was perfect. Hair and makeup was perfection (thank you Azzura and Claudia!). Our celebrant, Filippo, provided and delivered the most beautiful ceremony. Fiona, our photographer, captured the most gorgeous photos. And our driver, Matteo, gave us such a wonderful tour of Florence. It was a magical and special day and we couldn't be happier. It still feels like a dream. Huge thank you to the entire team! We would recommend Love Gracefully to everyone!

We can’t thank Love Gracefully and the entire team enough for making our elopement in Barcelona absolutely magical. From start to finish, everything was beautifully arranged with care, professionalism, and a genuine personal touch. They truly understood our vision and brought it to life in the most romantic and effortless way. The setting, the ceremony, and every small detail felt tailor-made for us. If you’re dreaming of an intimate, meaningful wedding experience, this team will exceed your expectations. Thank you for giving us a day we’ll cherish forever!Daniella & Patrick

We worked with Jeremie in Eze and it was the most amazing experience. Jeremie, Jino, & Theo are professional, polite, easy to work with, and a delight to have on site the whole day. A special thank you as well to Jeremie & Jino as the photos and videos were gorgeous. We are so grateful to them and the whole Love Gracefully team for pulling off a dream elopement for me and my now Husband. I recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding abroad without the headache and hassle.

We used this company for our symbolic wedding/elopement in Crete, Greece. Our main contact, Gabriella, was easy to communicate to and prepared everything appropriately. This means that all we had to worry about was choosing a package that worked within our budget, get our wedding outfits, and flight/accommodations.My make up artist and hair stylist were efficient and great. I was provided their Instagram handles so I was prepared to see what they can do. Our driver was great and provided a great restaurant recommendation. The photographer was attentive, enthusiastic, and efficient. He definetely knew what he was doing. The celebrant was professional and soft spoken. He made our ceremony easy and guided us through even when we were emotional.We received our photos a few days after the ceremony, which was surprising as I was told it would be about a month later. We are very pleased with the outcome.Overall, I would definitely recommend this company. It was nerve wracking to do this online as we are from Canada but truly I don't think I would change anything.

Our experience was beautiful- the customer service was excellent and the photos were amazing! Would highly recommend. We worked directly with Jeremie while in Nice and he was great…very accommodating and well organized. Also, the officiant did a wonderful job facilitating the renewal of our vows!

Pierre Therond - Celebrant & Officiant Elopements in Paris

“The fact that I get to talk about love all day long with couples who want to celebrate their love is a real blessing. 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…”
