ELOPING IN EUROPE
The Irresistible appeal of a Romantic Elopement in Europe.
An intimate and Personalized Experience
Eloping abroad allows couples to escape the pressures of a traditional wedding, creating instead a symbolic (non-legal) event that frees them to focus solely on each other and enabling them to make meaningful statements to each other in an inspirational setting. Eloping in Europe allows you to create a truly intimate and personalized wedding experience set in the romantic ambiance of a stunning European destination. In this way couples can exchange vows in private and make their special day all about their unique love story.
Discovering Cultural Connections
Maybe you have ancestral ties to a European country or city, and making the choice of eloping in Europe is a meaningful expression of your heritage. Or it might be a way of discovering and embracing new cultural connections. A European elopement is always an opportunity to incorporate ancient local customs or traditions into the ceremony, adding a deeper layer of significance to the wedding.
Combining Wedding and Honeymoon
Eloping in Europe also gives you a unique opportunity to combine your wedding and your honeymoon in one magical trip! Booking a Europe elopement package not only provides a deeply meaningful wedding experience in the city of your choice but also serves as an opportunity to embark on a romantic honeymoon in some of the most picturesque settings in the world. It’s such a bonus to have stunning wedding photos and videos captured in iconic European locations

IN EUROPE
During the last 15 years, we have organized hundreds of weddings and elopement all over Europe. Pierre, our founder, a trained celebrant himself, started this business in Paris, France, the city of love. His charm, passion for love stories, and his determination that every single couple gets their perfect day is a mission shared by the dedicated local teams that he’s put together in some of the most cherished cities in Europe.
All our celebrants and coordinators are locals; they live and breathe the life of the cities where you want your elopement organized. Our coordinators use only the best wedding services (photographers, florists, make-up artists, musicians, and more) so as to make sure they are creating your personalised elopement experience to the highest of standards. And of course, as locals, they have intimate knowledge of their native city’s secret, hidden corners where you can celebrate your ceremony against the most stunning backdrops but without annoying crowds.
Most importantly, they all speak excellent, fluent English in cities where quite often the natives don’t. They’ll gladly help you navigate the customs and particularities of your chosen European city making the whole process smooth and enjoyable.
