The easiest team to work with! Communication throughout and especially leading up to our elopement was great. They were able to accommodate to any special requests and extremely flexible. We look forward to renewing our vows in future with Love Gracefully. Special thank you Eleonora and Federica who went above and beyond !!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Love Gracefully at Lake Como. From the very beginning, Giulia and Eleonora were so responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. Every time we had a question, they replied promptly and thoroughly, which gave us peace of mind leading up to our day.

On the day of our elopement, everything went perfectly. The hair and makeup artist was amazing! I felt so confident and beautiful. Our officiant delivered a ceremony that was heartfelt, personal, and meaningful, making the moment even more special.

And our photographer, Federica, was truly exceptional. Every single photo she took is frame-worthy -- it’s honestly hard to choose a favorite because they’re all so stunning!

Overall, our experience with Love Gracefully was outstanding. They made our elopement feel effortless and unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend them without reservation. Thank you for helping us create such a perfect day!

We are still glowing from the joy of our 40th wedding anniversary in romantic Heidelberg Germany —and we owe so much of that joy to Uschi and the Love Gracefully organization. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for creating a celebration that honored our journey with such beauty and grace as your name so perfectly related to our day!

Uschi’s attention to every little detail, her calm presence, and her creative spirit made everything feel effortless and special. We felt seen, celebrated, and so loved—and so did our family and friends.

Uschi didn’t just plan an our 40 year wedding anniversary event—she gave us a memory we’ll treasure forever and ever!

Our photographer Pierre and his wife Julia were awesome! We had so much fun with Pierre he made us feel special during the photo shoot, he was very open to our suggestions and his ideas for photo spots and poses were wonderful. Julia did a great job editing the photos, giving us a sneak peek on a few the next day and we got all the pictures back within a week🥳🥂

We used Love Gracefully for our elopement in June this year and we could not be happier! From start to finish Giulia's communication was fantastic, we were able to discuss the different packages and ask as many questions as we wanted. On the day Giulia organised everything seamlessly and the hair/makeup (Arianna), flowers, officiant (Camilla) and photographer (Nicholas) was absolutely beautiful. Thank you again to everyone!

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.

Best experience we could've ever asked for.

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.
