How to plan an elopement in Italy
TL;DR: Find a wedding planner, choose a venue, hire an Italian wedding photographer, select the desired extras for the day. Oh wait! We offer all of those services!

Relax, we have got your backs and are going to tell you exactly how to plan an elopement in Italy.
The main reason you may struggle with organizing your wedding in Italy is if you let yourself get overwhelmed by too many choices.
Where to elope in Italy is often where people often come unstuck. Don’t worry, we will tell you about the best places to elope in Italy.
Many of our elopement clients come to us because they no longer have the desire and passion to complete the large wedding they were planning.

Sometimes costs spiral out of control, and occasionally tension develops between families.
It’s easy to see how the big traditional wedding can lose its appeal.
The last thing you want to do is abandon the idea of a traditional wedding and then discover that planning your elopement also becomes another unpleasant, stressful task.

Plan Your Elopement In Italy With Some Expert Advice
At some stage, when planning your wedding, you will need to engage the services of a professional wedding planner.
I suggest you do this from the start. An Italian elopement should be an exhilarating idea that excites you and your partner.
Hiring someone who knows the ins and outs of how to plan an elopement in Italy will make the whole process so much more enjoyable.
Well, don’t worry. We are here to make sure that you experience a perfect destination wedding in Italy.

Can You Elope In Italy?
Absolutely! One option is to have a legally binding wedding in Italy. Or you can make the whole thing even more straightforward by getting married back home and then having a blessing or symbolic ceremony in Italy.
Symbolic ceremonies are, by far, the most emotional and engaging ceremony you can have. They are also the easiest type of elopement to plan in Italy.
A civil wedding is a legal wedding. In Italy, this involves the reading of the articles of civil law that relate to marriage.

Not exactly the most romantic experience! Preparing your documents for the civil wedding is also a time-consuming process.
We can assist you should you want to go this route.
If you are religious, then a Catholic wedding might be a dream come true. We can help with that too. Italy has a lot of beautiful churches.
We can help you find the right one, book it, and complete your paperwork.

Wonderful Symbolic Weddings
The final, and in my opinion, the best option, is a symbolic ceremony. Our professional celebrants will talk to you both to introduce themselves.
This way, you can get to know each other and decide if it’s the right choice for you. Assuming all’s well, they will then talk to you again, but this time separately.
By asking you questions about each other and listening to your feelings and relationship history, they will gather some details about you.
They will then use this information to plan and create a bespoke ceremony just for your intimate elopement in Italy.

A celebrant could turn up and just read some standard often heard passages.
However, we feel that your wedding ceremony should be an engaging spiritual occasion that defines and acknowledges the connection between you and your partner.
Our celebrants perform emotional, meaningful, memorable blessing ceremonies. Precisely what a romantic elopement should be.

Where Are The Best Places To Elope In Italy?
Italy is famous for its incredible scenery, art, history, and culture, and there are countless amazing places to visit. Finding the best place for your elopement is undoubtedly not an easy decision when choosing between the Amalfi Coast, the Italian lakes such as Lake Como or Lake Maggiore, or a city like Rome, Florence, or Venice.
Our top location for a dreamy unique Italian wedding has to be Tuscany. Tuscany offers mesmerizingly beautiful scenery and mouth-wateringly delicious food and wine.

When we decided that we wanted to get married in the beautiful Tuscany, we knew that we needed a photographer that would do the setting justice.
Jules stood out immediately to us because of his attention to detail, his creativity and his ability to capture the perfect moment. We fell in love with his portfolio and no one else compared.
Before the wedding, Jules took the time to meet and get to know us so that on the day he knew exactly what our vision was. He was honest and professional and, having just taken on the daunting task of planning a wedding abroad, we valued his advice and experience. We knew, without doubt, that he was going to do an amazing job.
On the day itself, Jules was outstanding. He knew the location already, which meant he could ensure the best angles and shots possible. This was invaluable to us and meant we could enjoy the day knowing that our photos were in safe hands.
The day wasn’t without its challenges, but Jules worked tirelessly to achieve the shots that we wanted. The end results are simply stunning and we couldn’t be happier with his work. Thanks for a fantastic experience Jules!

Jules’ service is outstanding and it has been a pleasure working with him and his assistant Sabrina.
Our journey started at local airbnb. While the makeup artist was busy preparing the bride, Jules spent hours searching for hidden alleys away from crowded tourist spots. The scenes and background were just amazing and authentic representation of the area. The photo shooting was also very efficient. Jules style was pretty natural. We were never asked to post awkwardly and hence the outcome was never disappointing.
The quality of the pictures was excellent. We especially liked the way Jules handpicked a highlight selection among thousands of photos he took. The turnaround time was good too. We really appreciated how flexible he was in delivering the beautiful photos. Six star services!
It was such an enjoyable experience. We knew we would talk and share about it forever in our life. Thank you, Jules and Sabrina!
