Elopement in Rome & Italy
I am based in Rome and plan elopements across Italy, from Vatican chapels to Tuscan abbeys and Amalfi hideaways. Whether it’s just the two of you or a few of your closest friends and family, I can arrange a wedding in a setting that will take your breath away. I take care of every detail, so you can simply enjoy the moment.
Elopement
from symbolic to fully legal Select a ceremony that reflects your story
Symbolic Ceremony:
Enjoy a meaningful celebration in one of Italy’s most beautiful settings, followed by a legal marriage in your home country. No paperwork is required.
Civil Ceremony:
A legally binding Italian marriage performed by officials in historic venues or town halls. I handle all the documentation, translations, and Nulla Osta requirements for international couples.
Catholic religious ceremony:
Sacred ceremonies in Rome’s churches, Vatican chapels, and parishes across Italy. It requires Catholic documentation, and I coordinate all requirements with Italian churches.
Vow Renewal:
Recommit to each other without any legal requirements. You have complete freedom in location, style, and guest count.
Multicultural and interfaith ceremonies:
I also coordinate Jewish weddings, Hindu ceremonies, and celebrations that honor diverse cultural traditions.

Every elopement location tells a different story. Let’s find yours.
Personal Expertise for every detail How I support your elopement
Unique Location Access
Elopements open up venues that are impossible for larger weddings, such as private chapels, exclusive terraces, hidden gardens and sacred spaces that can only accommodate intimate gatherings. I know exactly which locations are suitable for symbolic ceremonies and which require permits for civil weddings. I can also arrange access to Italy’s most romantic settings.
Curated Vendor Network
I can put you in touch with photographers and videographers who specialise in intimate celebrations. These professionals capture authentic emotion without the distraction of a crowd. Every vendor in my network knows how to work within the unique flow of an elopement, creating space for genuine moments while beautifully documenting your story.
Intentional budget allocation
With fewer guests, your investment goes further. Rather than juggling logistics for hundreds of people, you can allocate resources towards creating lasting memories: an exclusive location, extended photography time, a private chef, exceptional wine, exquisite flowers, or combining your elopement with an unforgettable Italian honeymoon.
Flawless execution
On your wedding day, I will be there to manage every detail, coordinate vendors, ensure perfect timing and solve any challenges instantly. This means you can fully immerse yourself in your celebration and be present for every intimate moment without worrying about logistics.
I take care of it so you don't have to. Every detail. Every document. Every moment.
Exclusively yours. I personally oversee every intimate wedding: I don’t delegate. From the first phone call to the final dance, you’ll be dealing with me alone.
Rome is my home and Italy is my territory. With over a decade’s experience of working with some of the country’s finest venues — ranging from secluded Roman gardens and Tuscan abbeys to Amalfi clifftops — I know every secret location, permit requirement and trusted vendor that can ensure your elopement is truly unforgettable.
Making bureaucracy easy!
I can help international couples with Nulla Osta translations and legal filings. I’ll take care of the whole process for you. You won’t have to worry about Italian paperwork.
You can celebrate however you like. There are no traditional expectations or formalities. Every elopement is designed especially for you. You could have a ceremony at sunrise, a candlelit dinner, or a multi-day trip to Italy. Whatever feels like it belongs to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions about our wedding planning services and ensure that your special day runs smoothly and is memorable.
Is an elopement right for us?
If you’re drawn to intimacy over spectacle, authentic moments over performance, and complete presence over hosting duties—an elopement might be perfect. It’s not about excluding people; it’s about choosing what matters most to you as a couple.
How far in advance should we plan?
Elopements offer more flexibility than large weddings. While 6-12 months is ideal for securing preferred dates and exclusive locations, I’ve successfully planned beautiful elopements in 2-3 months for couples with flexible timing.
Do you handle legal requirements for international couples?
Yes, this is my specialty. I personally manage all documentation, translations, and Nulla Osta processes required for civil and religious ceremonies in Italy. The bureaucracy can be complex—I make it seamless.
What's the difference between public and private locations?
Public locations (like Trevi Fountain or panoramic viewpoints) offer iconic Italian settings, often at lower cost, perfect for symbolic ceremonies and photography. Private locations (villas, Abbazia di San Galgano, exclusive venues) provide complete privacy, extended access, and work for all ceremony types. Many couples combine both.
What will our elopement investment be?
Every elopement is uniquely priced based on your vision, location choices, vendor selection, and experience design. Investment varies between a simple symbolic ceremony and a multi-day celebration with private venues and luxury experiences. During our consultation, I provide a transparent, detailed proposal.
What is the process for booking your services?
If you would like to book my services, please contact me to arrange an appointment. During our discussion, we will talk about your vision and requirements, after which I will draw up a bespoke proposal that reflects your wedding dreams.
