We chose Love Gracefully via a google search. Our wedding took place in Taormina, Sicily. We contacted Cristina on Monday and were married on Friday. Very easy process. Price reasonable. Cristina and her team were great and guided us along the way. The videos were very helpful in choosing a location. We chose a beautiful location. We were picked up by a driver and dropped back off. Pictures came out great. Would highly recommend for a destination wedding if you want something simple. Turned out better than we could have expected on such short notice. Would highly recommend. Maybe we'll come back for a vow renewal!

We had a gorgeous wedding in Paris’ Bagatelle Gardens. Bibiana recommended the garden because of the time of day (6pm) and to ensure a beautiful, intimate setting…and it certainly was all of that and more. Our officiant Alex did an excellent job…his humor, and romantic voice as well as his old world charm made us feel like we were in a fairytale. And Stephen our photographer did an exceptional job capturing us in candid, fun, romantic, and endearing ways that will forever be in our memories and our hearts. Our driver Renaud was kind and considerate and even dropped us off at the restaurant rather than where he picked us up. All and all…amazing and highly recommended. If I were to give one bit of constructive feedback it would be that the communication was sometimes slow, and a bit nerve wracking only receiving our logistics the day before we flew to Paris. But once we were there, the ceremony was beyond our expectations.

Working with Jeremie and his team for our elopement in the South of France was an absolute dream. Everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and warmth from start to finish. They arranged a private vehicle to take us to each location, and our driver was incredible. He was punctual, kind, and made the entire experience feel seamless and elevated.

The media we received is breathtaking. Every photo and video captured the magic of the day with stunning detail and artistry. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

We would 100% recommend Love Gracefully to anyone in our lives considering getting married in the region. They made our elopement unforgettable, and we’re endlessly grateful.

Lorena and her team were awesome to work with and a did a great job coordinating our 10 year vow renewal in Paris! Great communication and very professional. They made sure that the entire process was smooth from start to finish, from our driver to the photographer down to the officiant. Our photographer Pierre was amazing by the way! We could not have asked for a better experience. If you're thinking about using Love Gracefully, DO IT!

We chose Love Gracefully for our elopement ceremony company and after a bit of research, it was absolutely the best decision! We decided on Rome, Italy and our coordinator Aleesia was amazing, along with the whole company! They all made every single process so easy from the very first email, to deciding on little details, to coordinating the times for the day of etc.! The time difference was never an obstacle, we had zero hiccups and everything turned out perfect! The photographer and videographer were super friendly and made the picture taking process so smooth and fun! From start to finish we couldn’t have been happier!!
If you are considering an elopement ceremony for your special day and something that is easy and enjoyable without the stress of a big wedding Love Gracefully is the BEST at making your dream day come true!!! We promise you won’t be disappointed!!!

From the very beginning, Paola and her team in Venice were nothing short of extraordinary. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care were evident in every detail, and our expectations were surpassed beyond measure.

Paola’s dedication was truly remarkable. She was always available, endlessly patient, and guided us with thoughtful suggestions that made the entire experience effortless. We felt completely supported from start to finish — she took care of absolutely everything, allowing us to simply be present in the moment.

From the first photos at the Rialto Bridge, we felt calm and at ease, completely trusting in her artistry. Our ceremony at Scala Contarini del Bovolo was beyond breathtaking — a fairytale brought to life — and Paola’s photographs captured every ounce of its magic and emotion.

Every moment flowed beautifully, every detail was flawless, and the day felt like a dream we never wanted to end.

Thank you, Paola, for turning our vision into reality and giving us memories we will cherish forever. You are truly one of a kind, and we could not recommend you more highly.

We had the pleasure of working with Love Gracefully for our elopement in Lake Como. Giulia was an amazing coordinator, paying attention to every detail to help us bring the wedding of our dreams to life. She was very responsive, making sure that every aspect of our vision was brought to fruition. The whole process was very smooth and stress-free so that we could truly enjoy our wedding day and simply focus on being in the moment. My makeup artist Ary was amazing and made me feel so beautiful on our special day. The ceremony, performed by our officiant Daniele, was so touching and personal. The pictures and videos from our photographer and videographer Federica and Roberto were absolutely gorgeous. Giulia and the team were fantastic to work with and we highly recommend using Love Gracefully to anyone looking for an effortless and personal wedding planning experience. Thank you so much!

My husband and I had the most wonderful experience working with Love Gracefully for our wedding in Lake Como, Italy. Everything ran so smoothly, and we felt completely taken care of from start to finish.

Our wedding planner, Giulia, was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process — from when we started planning three months out all the way until we said “I do.” She made sure every detail was handled beautifully and went above and beyond to ensure our day was everything we envisioned.

Despite the rain, the team even managed to coordinate gorgeous drone footage and photos, which turned out stunning. Thanks to their dedication and professionalism, our day was truly magical and stress-free.

The only area that was a bit challenging was getting clarity on pricing closer to our wedding day, particularly around transportation since we chose a venue outside of the free options included in the package. However, everything still worked out smoothly in the end.

Overall, we’re so grateful to Giulia and the entire Love Gracefully team for making our wedding day unforgettable!

I have only the best things to say about Love Gracefully, specifically Ros in Ireland. We wanted a ceremony that was very relaxed and would be a day that we would remember and think fondly of. The process was very easy, stress free, and tailored to exactly what we were looking for. Ros was very responsive as well as helpful and insightful with all of the planning.

Thank you to Ros and team for capturing these lovely photos from our elopement! We both usually really dislike getting our photos taken but Ros made it very relaxed and such a fun day for us! Very thankful to have all of these wonderful memories from our day!
