We used Love Gracefully for our elopement in Lake Como and cannot say enough about how amazing the entire experience was. From the responsiveness, extra details, location knowledge and flawless execution of the wedding day….it was perfection. Giulia and team were fabulous. If you are looking to plan a wedding abroad, look no further. This is your team!

Perfect! We had Giulia helping us plan our vow renewal in Laie Como. She took care of everything and made sure we were set on our special day. When it called for rain, she offered us alternatives, as we had chosen a park. That morning, when it didn’t rain, she made sure that we got us into that park and got the exact place I had been dreaming of. Everyone was wonderful and lovely-the hair and makeup artist, the officiant, our other wedding planner Eleonora, our fantastic photographer, and even the boat driver. The day was perfect and our photos were gorgeous. We couldn’t be happier with everything. Thank you!!!

My husband and I worked with Paola emailing back and forth for almost 8 months as we were planning our elopement for our trip to Italy from the US. She has made this process so smooth and everything went exactly as expected. She was very on top of communication, which we appreciate as we were well aware of the 8 hour time difference. But that did not stop her from providing us the best service. The ceremony was beautiful, we eloped in San Giorgio in Venice & also got the gondola experience! We had both a videographer & photographer from the company accompany us on the boat to capture our moment! Those pictures were stunning! Paola was then helpful enough to offer personal transportation ( for those who do not want to use the vaparetto ) , & even hair & makeup artist for the big day if needed. She was very considerate, helpful, & attentive. I recommend this company to any who are thinking about it!

We eloped in Barcelona and worked with Lorena and Bibiana from Love Gracefully and couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We mainly worked with Bibiana, who is not only an amazing professional, but she is also so sweet and caring! She patiently listened to how we picture our special day and just made it happen! We had an amazing team on the day of the elopement too! A great chauffeur (Mohamed), who came to take us from the hotel and drive us to the amazing park where the ceremony was. Julie, our celebrant, was awesome, she made our ceremony feel so special! Miriam and Isabel, our photographer and videographer, were such great professionals that work seamlessly together! Miriam was great guiding us through the photo session and she also took few shots recreating some pictures I shared with her ahead of time. The whole day was just so fun, smooth and stress free! We cannot thank enough Bibiana and her team for creating such a magical experience for us!

We got married on September 23, 2024, in the breathtaking Lake Como, and despite the rain on our big day, Love Gracefully transformed what could have been a disappointing experience into a magical one!Initially devastated by the last-minute location change and the departure from our original plans, I found myself feeling sad as a bride, wishing for the perfect day I had envisioned. However, the incredible team at Love Gracefully turned my frown upside down. They not only eased my stress but also captured the beauty of our rainy day in ways I never imagined possible.Their kindness and support truly brightened our spirits. What started as a day filled with uncertainty blossomed into something wonderfully unique. We even took a spontaneous dip in the lake, and to our surprise, two swans gracefully swam up to us while we were taking pictures—an unforgettable touch of magic!If you’re on the fence about having a big wedding, I wholeheartedly recommend eloping with Love Gracefully. Trust me, even if it rains, your day will be nothing short of beautiful. We’ll cherish these memories forever! 🤩

When we got engaged, we knew we wanted to elope in Italy along the Amalfi Coast. We live in the US. From what we read/saw, so much culture and romance lives along the Amalfi Coast and we couldn’t picture expressing our infinite love to one another anywhere else.We have NEVER visited Italy nor did we use a travel agent so, we were on our own figuring things out. Fortunately, we came across Love Gracefully almost immediately in our research.It was an easy yes for us once we pursued them because they were very responsive and very transparent in all of the details. They also answered my many, many questions and I feel like went above and beyond to answer questions we had about vendors, transportation, etc., things that didn’t even necessarily pertain to our wedding. It felt like working with friends! This was a process that went on for months of talking via email, What’s App and also Zoom per my request.Fast forward to our ceremony day, September 13th, 2024. A beautiful ceremony was written for us, and delivered to us in the most beautiful setting. We were on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, beautiful skies, personal vows, photography, cake, champagne - I swore I had this day planned out to the max but it somehow surprised me and still exceeded our expectations.My husband referred to the rest of the trip as “playing with house money” while smiling ear to ear because we had the most spectacular day that day and nothing else even mattered after that (although, the rest of the trip was magnificent as well!)Moral of my long story is: Love Gracefully is simply THE best and I would not recommend using anyone else. They know the business of love and will do whatever they can to accommodate you for your day within your budget.Thank you Camilla and Marco!With love,The Nast’s

We had a beautiful and intimate elopement ceremony with Love Gracefully on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. It’s very easy to think a service this good is a scam (we were worried, too), but Camilla (our event coordinator and officiant) kept in contact with us throughout the planning process overseas. We had choice of multiple location spots within the area we decided on, and the ceremony was very personal and completely customizable. On the day of the event, Camilla and Marco (our photographer) picked us up from our hotel with a bouquet, drove us to our site with some photos on the way, and helped us to have a beautiful and fun ceremony. They were both extremely friendly and informative. The services provided were well worth the price, and I would highly recommend.

I can't share enough good things about Love Gracefully. My fiancé and I got married in Seville, Spain just a few weeks ago and the whole thing was a complete dream. Communication was top tier in the months leading up, everything was perfectly planned, day-of communication was spot on... I have no complaints. If you are thinking of getting married abroad, I highly recommend it and I can't recommend Love Gracefully enough!

Our wedding in Venice, Italy was magical! Paola, our wedding planner, did a fantastic job! She was very organized and everything occurred like clockwork, exactly as she said it would. We were in a private garden, overlooking the Grand Canal. You can’t get more romantic than that! We had 10 guests, who raved about their experience there as well. We highly recommend Love Gracefully. 🩷

My husband and I used Love Gracefully for our ceremony in Rome and I could not recommend them enough! Our coordinator, Alessia, was very quick to respond to email and was so helpful during what normally is a stressful time for brides. Our day ran very smooth even with unpredictability with weather and the photos are something we will cherish forever. If you are thinking about a smaller ceremony in another country and don’t know where to begin - they are worth an email :)

Pierre Therond - Celebrant & Officiant Elopements in Paris

“The fact 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! Looking into the eyes of the couples I marry while they share their vows is a magical experience and a real privilege. I love to create ceremonies that are not only unique but most importantly, meaningful. In this way I know I am making a difference in a world that, sometimes, doesn’t make much sense…”
