When we started planning our wedding we knew that spending a ton of money and having a giant gathering wasn’t the route we wanted to go. In researching destination wedding options I came across Love Gracefully and noticed that Germany was listed as one of their locations. My now husband and I both have German roots and currently reside in Colorado, so having a small ceremony in Bavaria with a mountain backdrop sounded like an ideal setting. We decided to go with the Gold Package and added on a stylist, candle lighting, seating with covers, and taxi transport for our guests. Our wedding planner, Uschi, also served as the officiant and was amazing to work with! She ensured that the whole day went smoothly, made a great recommendation for where to eat dinner afterwards, and even reduced our final payment when it turned out that extra seating wasn’t needed for our guests. We couldn’t have asked for anything better and will always look back on our wedding with the fondest of memories!

We had the most wonderful experience with Love Gracefully! I was nervous about planning an elopement in another country but the process was seamless. Our coordinator, Camilla, kept me informed along the way during the process and did not disappoint the day of. Our officiant, Maria, photographer, Marco, and videographer, Walter were all absolutely amazing. They made us feel so special and had us laughing and smiling the whole day! If you’re thinking about eloping, I definitely recommend Love Gracefully. Thank you to all who made our day so special!

My husband Frank, surprised me with a trip to Paris for our elopement. He was going to book a small ceremony once we arrived. However, after further research your company looked amazing. Once I contacted your company, I was impressed with the professionalism . Also, we had extensive issues with completing the payment process. It was on our part, however, you were extremely helpful and patient.I could not express how perfect everything and everyone involved handled all the details. It was a perfect day!!I would recommend your company to anyone looking for a beautiful, fun, and extremely professional experience.Merci beaucoupBarbara & FrankAlso, the pictures were amazing, and the Video excellent !!

Alessia was wonderful and I cannot express my full gratitude. Our request to get married in Italy was at the last minute and she went above and beyond to make it happen. Thank you Alessia!

We recently had the most magical vow renewal in Paris and are so grateful for Love Gracefully for the officiating and advice they provided along the way! Our officiant, Alex, was so warm and welcoming to us and our guests and delivered a heartfelt ceremony that we will cherish forever. Lorena, the event coordinator, was also amazing to work with and talked us through locations for a winter ceremony in Paris. We landed on the perfect location thanks to Lorena! We are incredibly thankful for their services, great communication, and kindness.

My wedding day was everything I dreamt of and more thanks to the wonderful team of Love Gracefully in Florence, Italy. Lorena and her team helped me bring my vision to life with ease, transparency, and professionalism. They were promptly responsive to every email and punctual on the day of the event. I could not have asked for more for a destination elopement! Don’t think twice about hiring them, they take the stress off the couple and allows you to just live the moment.

Used love gracefully for my wife’s and my vow renewal in Rome, Italy. Commutated through email from Texas Months before our trip. Communication was good.I ordered the gold package with the photographer and a tour of Rome plus the Vow renewal.I was nervous that my expectation, would not be met, I was pleasantly shown otherwise.Every detail was spot on, Every person was so nice and went above and beyond both mine and my wife’s expectation.The level of service and professionalism could have easily been a true wedding in Rome with guests.Keep doing what you’re doing Love Gracefully.

My husband and I used Camila and Marco with Love Gracefully for our elopement in Assisi, Italy in September. (We live in the US.) They were fantastic! Very responsive, planned every detail exactly as we wanted, and provided a photographer and videographer that captured the beauty of the location and our love. Our wedding video is beyond what we expected! Use them for all of your European wedding needs.

We've had our dream come true using the Love Gracefully services. In May 2024 we contacted this company to start planning our 40 anniversary' Vows renewal, that my husband and I wanted to celebrate, with our family, in October 2024 at the Amalfi Coast, in Italy. Since day one, Camilla (our event coordinator) made every effort to be sure everything we wanted was included, nothing extra fancy, just a simple, yet special celebration. She interpreted our vision perfectly: From finding the beautiful location, accommodations, the chapel and the English-speaking priest for the ceremony, to the perfect bouquet, and the photographer, who was Marco, her business partner. Everything was taking care of, and we just have a blast and a beautiful day to remember forever. We have no words to appreciate the job well done in a caring and professional manner.Thank you so much Camilla, from the bottom of my heart. Wishing you the best Christmas holidays and a new year full of happiness and success.Xiomara and Carlos Armas

“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…”
