My husband and I just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. We were finally going to visit Italy. I wanted to do something special to commemorate our our anniversary and searched it online. I wanted to do a vow renewal in Rome. I found Love Gracefully and Alessia. You never know what you will encounter online but Love Gracefully was amazing! Alessia did everything I asked and so much more. She made our day so special it is something we will never forget! I highly recommend this company and Alessia. Alessia, thank you so much! Theressa

I was so happy to find Love Gracefully for my elopement! The packages made planning an international ceremony so easy. We had our ceremony in Ortigia, Sicily and were so lucky to work with Cristina and have her as our celebrant as well. She made the planning process super easy and was always there to answer our questions (we had never been to Sicily before so we had a lot of questions). She did an amazing job as the celebrant! the ceremony script was beautiful and she had such great energy! Our family could not stop talking about how great the ceremony was, and how amazing and helpful Cristina was coordinating everyone making and everyone feel comfortable. All in all it was a great experience and I would 100000% working with Love Gracefully and Cristina for your elopement. If I eventually decide to review my vows, I will absolutely work with Love gracefully and Cristina again!...will not even consider other options!

I hired Love Gracefully for our elopement in Madeira, Portugal, after hearing a glowing recommendation from a friend who worked with the company for her elopement (it was such a great experience, her daughter then hired them for her elopement too, a great endorsement!). Love Gracefully curated the most perfect day we could have ever imagined. Every detail was taken care of - we had the most stress free, joyful, beautiful wedding day. From our meaningful custom ceremony, our insanely talented photographer, our chauffeur who taught us so much about the island of Madeira and had us laughing in the car all day, and a short notice addition of hiring me a hair and makeup artist who did the best makeup and glam I’ve ever had, this felt like white glove service, but at an amazing value. Belinda was fabulous to work with, very communicative and a wonderful coordinator and officiant and companion throughout the day. I cannot recommend Love Gracefully enough!

My husband and I got married in Switzerland with Love Gracefully and it was truly the most amazing experience! We were in contact with our coordinator Marie for many months leading up to our wedding and she was so easy to work with and kept us in the know about everything involving our wedding. Her team was so professional but also so fun to work with! We would definitely recommend using love gracefully for any wedding event and will look forever to using them again in the future for vow renewal.

We had a phenomenal experience working with Love Gracefully for our elopement in Paris. I conducted my planning primarily with Bibiana, who is a delight to communicate with. She is professional and organized as well as enthusiastic and positive natured. In just a few emails with Bibiana I knew I had chosen the right company for our big day.
She perfectly paired us with Cynthia as our officiant who crafted an intimate and beautiful script which she delivered day of in such a heartfelt and flawless manner. Thank you Cynthia!!!
In all the months leading up to our ceremony, Bibiana ensured every detail was handled and offered us piece of mind regarding the ceremony itself, transportation, flowers, and the day of timeline. Lorena was also a big help the day of our ceremony as her and Bibiana partner together to ensure everything is perfect. Love Gracefully truly gave us the most magical day of our lives & we could not recommend them more highly! Thank you from the depths of our hearts!!!

Jeremie and the LoveGracefully team made our wedding in Nice in France an incredible experience. Planning a destination wedding from afar can be tough, but Jeremie’s communication and attention to detail kept us completely at ease. He gave us great dinner reception recommendations that exceeded our expectations and was such a wonderful time, took care of every detail, and delivered beautiful photos. Highly recommend working with them!

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience with Giulia and Love Gracefully for our wedding at Villa Noseda in Lake Como.

Planning a wedding overseas from Australia could have been incredibly stressful, but Giulia made the entire process feel easy from beginning to end. She was organised, responsive, reassuring and genuinely cared about making sure everything came together exactly as we had imagined.

The wedding itself was absolutely incredible. Villa Noseda was breathtaking, every detail came together beautifully, and the entire day felt effortless. We were able to simply enjoy the moment without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day.

The ceremony, photography, videography, boat experience and all of the little details throughout the day were organised beautifully. Lake Como was already our dream location, but Giulia and the Love Gracefully team made the experience even more special than we could have imagined.

Looking back, there genuinely isn't anything we would change. It was one of the best days of our lives and a memory we will treasure forever.

Giulia, thank you for everything you did for us and for giving us the most amazing wedding in Lake Como. We couldn't recommend you and Love Gracefully highly enough!

Our vow renewal in Puglia was a beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. My husband and I were the only two people attending, and Lorenzo was our coordinator. From the beginning, he was exceptional, responsive, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in understanding what we wanted.

Before the ceremony, we discussed the location, timing and my high expectations for photography. Since I regretted going with an inexpensive photographer when we first married 25 years ago, beautiful photographs were especially important to me. Lorenzo shared maps and photos of locations, discussed daylight and lighting, and offered great advice on the best time for photographs. His knowledge of Puglia made planning easy.

I also wanted to surprise my husband by playing a song I had written for him immediately after the ceremony. Lorenzo was completely accommodating, and provided a device to play the song and everything went perfectly.

Jennifer, our officiant, was wonderful. She delivered our ceremony script beautifully and brought warmth and sincerity to the intimate ceremony.

The photography was truly the highlight. Lorenzo is an excellent photographer. He directed and posed us, found beautiful settings and backdrops, and never rushed us. When I received the photos, I was amazed. They were romantic, beautifully composed and captured exactly the feeling I had hoped for. I honestly thought I looked so pretty in them, which meant a lot to me.

Everyone we worked with was kind, professional and accommodating, and Lorenzo made the entire experience feel relaxed and personal.

My only reservation is the price, which is not a reflection of Lorenzo, as he does not set the company's pricing. We paid €1,530 (approximately $1,787 USD), which felt somewhat high for a vow renewal with only two people. We did not need reception assistance, guest coordination or a reserved venue, as our ceremony took place in a beautiful, free public location. For a larger wedding or celebration, I could see the package being easier to justify.

That said, I would absolutely recommend Lorenzo, especially to couples who value personalized service, local knowledge and beautiful photography. He helped create a wonderful 25th anniversary memory, and the photographs are something we will treasure for years to come.

Now comes the really difficult part: deciding which pictures to print and hang on my wall. UGH! Lorenzo, you have officially made this impossible. How am I supposed to choose when I love every single one?! I think I may need a bigger house… or just a bigger wall!

All I can say is WOW!

Jeremie, you made our French Rivera dreams come true. From start to finish the whole process has been nothing but smooth, with lots of communication and updates on where the planning process is at. We didn’t have to think about a single thing!

I highly recommend Jeremie and the team at Love Gracefully to anyone looking to elope, you won’t be disappointed!

The photos are absolutely beautiful and we had them back in less than a week, which was great for our excited parents. We are still on cloud 9 and it’s all thanks to Jeremie!

Thank you so much for our special day, we will be back for vow renewals! 😊

My husband and I had the best experience using Love Gracefully! They took care of absolutely everything for us and we had the most beautiful micro wedding on Lake Garda! Giulia was so helpful in getting everything together and answering all our questions, Chiara was the best coordinator, we had the most amazing photographer and videographer, the flowers were beautiful, hair and makeup was amazing, and the ceremony site was perfect! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience
We had the most magical time getting married in lake como. It was just the two of us, and both our celebrant (Daniele) and photographer (Nicholas) made us feel so comfortable and happy on the day.
The views were incredible, a long with the most sentimental readings from Daniele and stunning photos. Alongside this, our organiser Giulia was excellent at getting back to us as soon as possible and was so prompt with everything we asked for.

Thank you love gracefully for the most magical day that we’ll never forget. Best day of our lives.

Absolutely wonderful! Love Gracefully planned our Venice elopement, and it was an amazing experience. They have this process down to an art, and everything flowed smoothly even when some surprise weather necessitated some tweaks in our plans. The price is unbeatable, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our photos. Highly recommend!

If you're considering an elopement, choosing Love Gracefully was the best decision we could have made. We eloped on the Amalfi Coast, and from the very beginning, the entire process was seamless and completely stress free.

We started communicating with Camilla over a year before our wedding, and she was amazing every step of the way. She stayed in touch throughout the planning process, recommended hotels, helped coordinate everything once we arrived, and was always communicating with us so we never had to worry about a thing. She arranged for hair and makeup to come to our hotel, organized transportation to our ceremony location, and made sure every detail was taken care of.

Our ceremony was absolutely picture perfect. It was simple, intimate, romantic, and everything we had hoped for.

The rest of the day felt like we were living in a movie thanks to Marco, our photographer, and Walter, our videographer. They made us feel so comfortable, kept the day fun, and truly made it all about us. We were able to relax, be ourselves, and enjoy every single moment. They captured our personalities so naturally that the whole experience never felt posed or forced. It was such a magical day that we will cherish forever.

The icing on the cake was receiving our photos and videos. They are absolutely stunning and captured every emotion and special moment so beautifully. Looking through them brings us right back to that day.

I cannot recommend Love Gracefully enough. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless and gave us memories we will treasure for a lifetime. We would choose them again in a heartbeat.

I had my wedding in Lake Garda on July 8th. I’m from New Jersey and Giulia assisted me with absolutely everything all the way up to the wedding day. I chose what I wanted and she allowed me to add and remove any services I needed with such grace and kindness. She is truly so wonderful and the team she works alongside are absolutely heaven sent. The photographer, videographer, and glam crew were everything I could dream of. They did not treat it like just a service, they provided us so much attention, detail, kindness, jokes, and warmth throughout the entire day that made us feel calm and grateful they were there.

We couldn’t be happier with the attention we received from Love Gracefully and the entire staff, especially Bibiana. I wanted to surprise my wife and children with our 25 year vow renewal and Bibiana and her team exceeded expectations. We selected Casa Lele and the scenery, sunset, picnic and Filippo’s bespoke ceremony was simply amazing. Ciao Tuscany.

My husband and I used Love Gracefully for our destination elopement in Santorini, Greece. I can’t say thank you enough to Lorena and Bibiana! I was a little nervous at first when it came to planning an elopement overseas just because of all the scamming that goes on nowadays BUT, I can say that I’m so glad that I stuck with this company. Lorena and Bibiana made everything such a breeze! They handled everything from the photographer, videographer, transportation and the officiant. If you are planning a destination wedding overseas I HIGHLY recommend them! They will take care of all of your needs, all you have to do is show up on your wedding day.

You're probably reading this review and many others below and above me (like I did 7 months ago) wondering if Love Gracefully is the real deal.

Let me tell you, you have nothing to worry about, and you should work with Love Gracefully for your elopement / overseas ceremony or whatever you have in mind.

I think for many you'll feel odd about parting with money and leaving the planning of your ceremony to a team half way across the globe on the other side of an email - but now I've been back home for three weeks following our ceremony this should be the very reason you use Love Gracefully.

A few very simple emails back and fourth, and all the work is done for you - exactly how you want it. Just wait for the instructions that come a week or two before your ceremony and you're all set.

Lorena and Bibiana arranged our private elopment in Florence where we met our celebrant Filippo, who was amazing, and our photographer Francesco on the day. I'm writing this review after just receiving our photographs, which are absolutely unreal, so much better than we imagined - Francesco knew exactly what to do to get us the best memories of our day.

Love Gracefully were the most responsive company when I was searching for our planners and we truly couldn't have asked for any more - the whole experience was perfect.

Send that email, get that payment made and use Love Gracefully!

Ceremony and Photo Shoot Location - Tempietto di Diana, Villa Borghese, Rome, Italy

We had the absolute best time at the lovely wedding that Love Gracefully put together for us! We were already so happy to be there in Rome, and seeing the whole vision come together was so amazing. The van driver was awesome, and he took my father and I directly where we needed to go prior to the ceremony, and drove my husband and I all around Villa Borghese in Rome to reach multiple photoshoot locations. I loved my bouquet and I am so glad it turned out so pretty. The ceremony location at Tempietto di Diana was awesome and it was so fun to have our guests sitting around the stone benches. The whole Villa Borghese park areas was really beautiful and perfect for an outdoor wedding.

Our coordinator, Alessia, worked with us to change our photo shoot location so last minute, and it really made a huge difference in the style of photos we were able to get. Our photographer was so kind and helpful in making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we love all the shots! The violinist was the perfect touch and it was so special to get a first dance there in the park. Everything was so perfect and we are so glad with the decision we made to choose Love Gracefully. They were so great from the very beginning and really supported us through the process every step of the way. Love Gracefully and especially Alessia made our big day even more special and memorable!

Sincerely,
The Tilleys

If you’re considering an elopement or small ceremony on the Amalfi Coast, booking with Love Gracefully is the best decision you can possibly make!

My wife and I began planning our elopement in Positano just three months in advance. On the day of our ceremony, Camilla & the rest of the Love Gracefully team far surpassed our expectations. The officiant, violinist, photographer, and videographer they sourced all blew us away. They were not only incredibly talented and executed our vision for the day perfectly, but they were also kind, easy to talk to, and put our minds at ease.

If we could elope and hire this team again, we’d do it a thousand times over. The memories we made were worth every penny. Thank you Love Gracefully for everything!

As a bride from Toronto, I dreamed of a fairytale, enchanting elopement in Portugal, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we were paired with Belinda for our wedding in Sintra, my partner and I knew we were in excellent hands.

Belinda was incredibly responsive, flexible, and always willing to meet or answer our questions, no matter the time. She was genuine, honest, and exceptionally knowledgeable about Portugal. Her local expertise guided us toward the best choices and helped us avoid decisions that would have taken away from our experience. We truly trusted her every step of the way.

Our ceremony at Cabo da Roca was absolutely magical—more beautiful than we ever imagined. Every detail came together perfectly, creating the most unforgettable day.

I also can't say enough wonderful things about Nicole, my hair and makeup artist. She made me feel absolutely beautiful while creating such a calm, relaxing atmosphere on the morning of the wedding. She is incredibly talented, and my hair and makeup lasted flawlessly throughout the wind, mist, and even plenty of happy tears.

Alex the photographer took stunning photos and the turnover for photos and videos were very fast.

If you're dreaming of a romantic European wedding or elopement, I wholeheartedly recommend this company. They brought our vision to life and gave us memories we'll cherish forever. Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality!

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…

    Sorry, we don't do legal civil ceremonies in Europe, BUT this actually works in your favor - you'll avoid all the foreign paperwork, embassy visits, translator fees, and bureaucratic stress that comes with overseas legal civil ceremonies. Instead, you can handle the simple legal part at home in your own language and culture, then come celebrate with us in Europe where you can focus entirely on the romance and joy of your special day without any administrative headaches.

    However, would you really want a civil ceremony in Europe, we can offer this service in the UK, Portugal or Crete (Greece). Please write to these destinations and ask for the conditions.

Our inclusive approach means no one's faith is excluded, no denominational requirements limit your choices, and couples with different belief systems can celebrate together authentically without compromiseSorry, we don't perform traditional religious ceremonies. Our secular approach allows full personalization and inclusivity for all beliefs.
