LOVE GRACEFULLY’S ☆☆☆☆☆ GOOGLE REVIEWS
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!
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!
I recommend this company and their staff 100%.
We’re very happy with the outcome and our pictures are magnificent.
Thank you LOVE GRACEFULLY 💓
On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. The entire team was kind, organized, and a pleasure to work with.
When we received our photos, we were blown away. They captured so many genuine moments and emotions, and every photo brought us right back to our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the results and can't wait to see the video.
If you're considering an elopement or destination wedding in Italy, we can't recommend them enough. Thank you for making one of the most important days of our lives so memorable!
— Hayley & Anthony
The day couldn’t have gone better! Our planner, Paola, took care of everything from start to finish. It ran more smoothly than all of the local weddings I’ve been in or to.
She went above and beyond to make any requests of ours possible, and scheduled everything on her end. From multiple private water taxis, extra photo locations, the ceremony venue, flowers, pictures, videography, officiant, to hair and makeup.
The only thing I wish? That I could re-live the day all over again!
I wanted to make a post because I know it can be daunting to have someone across the world, that you’ve never met face to face, plan such a special day. But everything was magic from start to finish, so take the leap if you have been considering them.
The pictures and videos shot by Paola and Valentina were not only breathtaking, but were sent to us faster than we expected, and are going to be something we look back on for decades to come.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Paola and her team in Venice enough. They made our wedding day so special, beautiful, and a day we will cherish forever.
Working with Giulia was really pleasant, she helped us with all of the logistics and made it a really smooth and simple process.
Our officiant Daniele made the ceremony feel really special and helped to ease our nerves on the day!
We had Federica and Simone for photography and they did an incredible job!! We are super happy with the results and the turn around time to receive our photos.
I would definitely recommend Love Gracefully to anybody planning their wedding abroad!
Thanks again!

Yes, all our Venice packages accommodate up to 15 guests. For larger celebrations, contact our coordinator Paola to discuss customized options and venue availability.
We recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak season (April-October) and popular dates. However, we’ve successfully organized ceremonies with just a few weeks’ notice during off-peak periods.
Spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) offer ideal weather and fewer crowds. Summer brings peak tourism and heat. Winter (December-March) offers a unique, romantic atmosphere with heated boat options available and special winter pricing.

San Giorgio Maggiore is one of Venice’s most exclusive ceremony locations—a peaceful island in the Venetian lagoon with breathtaking views of the city skyline. You arrive by boat, creating a dramatic entrance. This was Jeff Bezos’ choice for his Venice wedding celebration.
Yes, but timing is crucial. San Marco Square is extremely crowded with tourists throughout the day. Early morning ceremonies (before tourist crowds arrive) are possible with an additional fee. Contact Paola for availability and pricing.

Venice is beautiful in any weather. For gondola ceremonies, we try to reschedule if it’s possible. For outdoor locations, we have backup covered venues. Covered wooden boats (private taxis) are available in case people book transportation and /or it’s too cold or rainy and if people would prefer to make a boat tour instead of a gondola tour.
Paola will discuss contingency plans based on your chosen package and season.
