We had the absolute pleasure of working with Love Gracefully for our wedding in Barcelona, and we truly couldn’t be happier with our experience.

Throughout our six months of planning, we worked closely with Bibiana, and toward the end, Ana joined the team. From start to finish, communication was seamless; every email was clear, timely, and thorough, and every question we had was answered with care. As someone who works in the hospitality industry in the U.S., I jokingly told Bibiana that the process felt “scary simple” and I meant that in the best way possible!

Every detail was beautifully handled, from coordinating hair and makeup for our guests to the stunning floral arrangements and the thoughtfully written celebrant script. We were also so honored to be graced with Pierre’s presence as our celebrant; the founder of Love Gracefully; which made our ceremony feel even more special and personal.

Our ceremony location in Ciutadella Park, right by the fountain, felt completely private and intimate, like something out of a dream.

When we received our photos from their photographer, Miriam, we were absolutely blown away. Every image felt effortless, natural, and elegant, and our family portraits came out beautifully. These are memories we will cherish forever.

We chose Barcelona because it’s where we got engaged, and we knew we wanted a small, intimate micro-wedding. The moment we found Love Gracefully and saw their work, we knew they were the perfect fit. Their portfolio speaks for itself, every wedding is executed with such beauty and intention.

What truly stood out was how easy they made everything. All we had to do was share our vision, and they brought it to life flawlessly. We felt completely taken care of every step of the way.

It was also so special to be Ana’s first wedding with Love Gracefully, she was incredibly dedicated and truly invested in making our day perfect.

We would highly recommend Love Gracefully to anyone looking to plan an intimate wedding in Europe. They exceeded every expectation and made our wedding day unforgettable.

We used LG for our destination wedding in Portugal and could not have been happier. Belinda helped from start to finish. I know from experience now that there are so many options out there, but we chose the best option. Belinda helped us put our itinerary together and helped with connecting us with the local vendors. Planning a wedding is a lot of work, but Belinda made it a breeze

For our 15th anniversary, we renewed our vows in Paris. We wanted photos, of course, but we were a little hesitant. We’re not the same people who got married all those years ago, and we didn't want to feel awkward trying to recreate something from the past. After reading countless reviews for Love Gracefully, we felt they were the ones who would understand.

They didn't just understand; they exceeded every hope we had. All the reviews mentioning how comfortable they make you feel are absolutely true. There was no pressure, no cheesy poses. It felt like a quiet afternoon walk through Paris with a friend who just happened to be an incredible photographer. They have a gift for seeing the small things – the way you hold hands after years of practice, the shared smiles that don't need words.

They used the city's magic not as a backdrop, but as a silent witness to our story. The photos aren’t just beautiful pictures of us in Paris. They feel like a true reflection of our journey together – the comfort, the history, and the deep, quiet love that has grown over the years. If you're looking to celebrate a milestone, and want someone to capture the beauty of the relationship you've built, look no further.

We used Love Gracefully for our elopement in Lake Garda, Italy, and everything was absolutely perfect! Giulia answered all of my emails promptly and organized every detail seamlessly. The location was exactly what we had hoped for, the flowers were beautiful, and the photographer was wonderful and very easy to work with.

Giulia also arranged for a hairdresser to come to my hotel room before the ceremony, and she did a beautiful job. Phillip was our officiant, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better ceremony. He sent us questions ahead of time, which allowed him to personalize the ceremony just for us. His words were heartfelt and beautiful, making the entire experience incredibly special.

We would highly recommend Love Gracefully to anyone looking for a stress-free, beautifully personalized elopement experience. They exceeded every expectation and we will cherish these memories forever.

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect way to get married in Rome. From start to finish, our elopement was completely seamless and stress-free. The ceremony time was even adjusted to allow us the best weather for the day. We were able to fully relax and enjoy the experience.

They truly understood our vision and made the experience enjoyable in every way. On the day itself, everything flowed effortlessly, and we felt so supported and calm, which allowed us to be fully present for such an important moment.

I cannot recommend enough Love Gracefully for a vow renewal! Huge shoutout to amazing Belinda! From the very first correspondence, she took the reigns and ensured that everything was completely taken care of, allowing us to actually enjoy the moment rather than managing logistics.

The ceremony itself was incredibly personalized and tailored exactly to what we had envisioned; it felt uniquely 'us' in every way. To top it off, we were blown away by the photographer and videographer. Their skills are unmatched—they captured the emotion and beauty of the day perfectly. It was a stress-free and beautiful experience."

We can’t say enough great things about our experience with Uschi and the Love Gracefully team.

International elopements can be daunting figuring out who to trust and what steps you need to take. We had so many questions at the start of the process that Uschi was incredible at unpacking for us. She was clear, concise, and more than we could have ever hoped for. Because of Uschi, we felt confident the day would be handled with nothing but precision - which was true. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Uschi. You went above and beyond.

If you’re thinking about eloping in the German Alps, look no further. She is your person!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with Camilla and Marco.. We planned our trip in January of 2025, through every step of the process we had very good communication and every expectation of the day was met. We were so happy to be involved with every process but were glad that we let the professionals handle the day, we just had to show up! It took the stress off of us and allowed for us to truly enjoy our day! UNFORGETTABLE !

We used Love Gracefully for an elopement ceremony in Florence and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. The day of was unforgettable, we love the pictures, and pricing was reasonable. Bibiana and Lorena were responsive and easy to communicate with before and after the ceremony, Azzurra did great H&MU, and Filippo and Francesco were so kind and made the day of easy and fun. We loved looking through all of the photos Francesco took and are very happy with how everything turned out.

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…
