I have so many wonderful things to say about Love Gracefully, specifically Paola in Venice. From the moment I inquired about doing a surprise vow renewal, she took care of every detail. We worked on the transcript together, the flowers, the Gondola and water taxi. She even helped with the cover story to keep my wife in the dark until the surprise was revealed. The setting was perfect. The photography was superb and the overall planning process was smooth and very detailed. I was a little hesitant about the payment process but once I got into the system it was very straight forward. Thanks to Paola. She provided very detailed instructions to ensure the payment was made correctly and verified through their accounting office. I want to also make sure that I recognize each person that participated in this process.
Paola - wedding planner and photographer - If you're in Venice look her up. She is amazing.
Francesco - Water Taxi. The water Taxi was beautiful and he drove us on a beautiful route to get to our Gondola.
Piero - Gondolier, This is where we did the surprise renewal. He made the experience so memorable. the route he chose gave us the perfect sights while we celebrated our renewal.
Selena - Officiant. She made our renewal more special than anyone could have imagined. She drafted a ceremony script that was both personal and relevant. She officiated the ceremony with kindness and love. You can tell she really loves what she does and that she genuinely was happy to be a part of our special ceremony.
We would not have had the honor of meeting any of these people without Paola. She did a fantastic job of planning and organizing all aspects of this event. I will forever be grateful to her.

We wanted something small, intimate, without all the chaos of invitations and coordinating guests. We wanted something just for us. And it’s exactly how we wanted. Camilla and Marco did an excellent job keeping it informal, and capturing the beautiful background that made this day so meaningful
And breathtaking. I can’t wait to see the photos! If you are eloping, or renewing your vows, or just want an informal ceremony in Italy, call Camilla and Marco. Camilla did an amazing job with the questionaire to get to know us, and relayed that in the script of the ceremony. The music over shadowed what our friends could hear. That would be one thing I did different. Have the music lowered before starting, but we still felt the specialness in it all.

Jeremie Bertrand was absolutely phenomenal to work with and made planning an elopement from Canada a breeze! Jeremie assisted us with a pre-shoot in Paris, and our elopement ceremony at Castle Hill in Nice. It was great that Jeremie was able to assist with both aspects of what we wanted. Not having to find multiple vendors was a huge stress relief and made the process so much easier. Thank you Jeremie and the rest of the Love Gracefully team for making this special moment happen for us!

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!

FAQ about eloping in Italy

As we have explained, our Italy elopement ceremonies are purely symbolic, meaning that they have no legal value.Due to burdensome bureaucracy, complicated local laws and challenging translation issues, we suggest that couples have the paperwork done at home and come to Europe to celebrate their love fully in a manner that’s meaningful to them and in a place that’s their idea of inspirational. Our speciality is the celebration of love, but not the paperwork. You can see Pierre explaining this in this video.

Our Italy elopement ceremonies are totally personalised
. They can either be spiritual or not at all. They are designed to meet your beliefs. Any God is welcome as well as an atheist or… In that sense, Love Gracefully is a secular company that embraces all beliefs and all non-beliefs. But our officiants are not priests, nor pastors, nor rabbis.

Would you want a religious ceremony, depending on the city, we could direct you to a local church. It’s very rare as many European priests do not speak English. So, what we recommend is that, if you want a religious ceremony in Europe, to let us, at Love Gracefully, create a spiritual ceremony that will be celebrated in an exquisite outdoor location.

We do understand your concern in the event of rain if you want to elope in Italy. Since we always work outdoors, we have the expertise on what to do in case of rain; we spend a lot of time looking at weather forecasts. And after more than 400 ceremonies, here is what we’ve learned:

  1. It’s an issue to take seriously;
  2. Weather forecasts are not very accurate;
  3. Best to wait 48 hours to 24 hours before D-day to make a final call on what to do;
  4. We have a plan B, protected from the rain, ready to go.
  5. If it rains a little bit we can wait for it to stop
  6. If the weather gets extremely bad and our vendors are available, we are flexible and we can try to move the ceremony to another time or day. Only if vendors and officiant are available.
Pierre Therond the founder reading a text in a boat

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! I cherish creating ceremonies for them that are meaningful, personal and unique. To see the eyes of the couples I marry while they share their vows is an inspiration for hope. I feel that I’m making a difference in a world that, sometimes, doesn’t make much sense…
