ELOPING IN EUROPE
ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Do you want to elope in Europe? The day you say ‘Yes, I do’ must be memorable and speak about your love story and nothing else. Organizing a big expensive wedding at home might be tedious, getting many opinions and demands, and very generic and unoriginal.
Eloping in Europe will make your special day unique and only about you two. And you can also make the trip you always dreamed of or return to the city where you have built some memories in the past to commit to each other. You may have ancestral bonds with a European country or city, so this could also represent who you are.
Booking a Europe elopement package is an excellent opportunity to celebrate your honeymoon and have some stunning wedding pictures and videos you can’t have at home, all while discovering countries full of history, art, and ancient cultures that will amaze you forever.
YOUR TAILOR-MADE
EUROPE ELOPEMENT
Do you have a vision for your elopement in Europe? Elegant, chic, boho, whimsical, princely, fantasy, glamorous… Whatever the vibe you wish for your ceremony, you will find the ideal backdrop in any of our 8 European countries.
Imagine yourself exchanging your vows in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, with the city’s magical lights, or maybe near the eternal ancient ruins of Rome. Like a movie star, you could say ‘Yes, I do’ on an idyllic cliff on French Riviera or a paradisiac island in Greece overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. In Dubrovnik, you will feel like royals in their medieval villages, with cobblestone streets and imponent castles and palaces. Picture yourself in an enchanting little village in Switzerland or inside a fantasy tale in Barcelona or Lisbon. The possibilities are endless.
We curated the best elopement locations and designed five wedding packages for each destination to cover the usual needs of these celebrations. That’s the starting point! Once you book your elopement package, we will customize the whole experience to ensure it speaks about your love story and the memories you want to create forever.
Let’s talk and create your ideal elopement in Europe.
LOVE GRACEFULLY
IN EUROPE
Love Gracefully team has organized elopement ceremonies in Europe for the last 15 years. Pierre, the founder and one of our celebrants, started this business in Paris, France, the city of love. His charm, passion for love stories, and his will to ensure every single couple gets their perfect day quickly allowed him to create local teams in the most cherished European cities to meet all your needs.
Our celebrants and coordinators are locals; they live and breathe the cities where they organize your elopement. That’s why they know very well the best wedding vendors (photographers, florists, make-up artists, musicians, and more) to make sure they can customize your elopement experience. Of course, they know secret spots to celebrate your ceremony with the most stunning backdrops without annoying crowds and keeping in mind all the practicalities necessary.
And the most important: they all speak good English in countries or cities where the natives might not understand it very well. They’ll gladly help you navigate the customs and particularities of the European city where you want to elope.

STEP 1
Pick an elopement destination that speaks about you
All our elopement destinations in Europe are excellent in their own way. How to pick one? There are many ways to approach it:
- Pick a city that resonates with your values, lifestyle, or aesthetic vision. Read about them to discover which one could be, or ask our coordinators for advice.
- Choose a country related to your familiar tradition and culture. If your family has roots in any European country, you will likely find a city representing your heritage.
- Decide on a destination where you built some memories together in the past: your first trip together or the city where your partner proposed, or maybe where you lived something that impacted you individually and as a couple.
- Organize your once-in-a-lifetime trip, almost as a honeymoon, and take the opportunity to get beautiful and unique wedding photos and videos while eloping.
