Luxury Elopement in Italy

Eloping in Italy: The Most Romantic Way to Say “I do!” 

Is there anything more romantic than jetting off to sunny Italy to tie the knot with your other half? Now more than ever, more and more couples are opting for more intimate, personalized weddings with elopement in Italy. The stress-free customized allure of having your own private day is becoming more popular, and because of the ease of connecting with technology, having a destination elopement (especially in dreamy Italy) is most definitely in style. 

Luxury Elopement in Italy continues to grow in popularity; there is something exciting about a bride and groom escaping to Italy for a romantic wedding in one of the country's many dazzling locations!  Top destinations for an  elopement are Lake Como, Amalfi Coast and of course cities of art such as Rome, Florence and Venice!

Eloping to Italy is the perfect solution for couples wishing to combine both honeymoon and wedding and skip the stress of planning a large event.

An elopement in Italy can apply to civil, religious or symbolic wedding ceremonies – in short ANY ceremony. We also handle Catholic elopements with or without civil validity.

Although generally for bride and groom only, a luxury elopement can include a few guests as well and our staff will assist with accommodation requirements and any last minute travel arrangements.

Do you have a special connection to Italy? Maybe you just love the food and wine, or was it your first vacation spot together? Have you always wanted to wander the halls of Renaissance palaces or see Michelangelo’s frescoes? There’s no doubt that it is one of the most romantic countries in the world and you don’t need an excuse to fall in love with Italy. Whatever the reason may be, we can figure out how to incorporate your favorite aspects of the country, as well as your unique personalities and tastes, to design a spectacular customized elopement in Italy. 

From every corner of the country…  

While Italy is full of grand and monumental wedding venues, it also offers a plethora of charming and whimsical locations to have your dream Italy elopement. Whether it be in a stunning outdoor Italian garden or in a Renaissance tower suite, we have a long list of unique and luxurious places to elope. From a city hall in the Tuscan countryside, to a symbolic ceremony on the beaches of Puglia or a breathtaking terrace on the Amalfi Coast, eloping in Italy has never been as stress free as with your personal Distinctive Italy planner. 

Getting up and going

All you'll need to pack is your dress because we will arrange everything from paperwork to dinner plans. Our team has hairdressers, beauty experts, makeup artists and estiticans everywhere in Italy who can pamper you on your special day. 

With a destination elopement, it really means that you can focus on exactly what YOU want. We can find you the exact spot service to fulfill your romantic post wedding dinner desires, or make sure you ride off into the sunset on a vintage vespa - you just simply need to ask, and it can be arranged. 

To never forget... 

One of the most important aspects of a destination elopement to Italy is having a professional document it. You want to be able to 'live in the moment' and have all the spontaneity of the day captured, so it is important that the photographer knows the venue, location and environment of your chosen elopement venue. Distinctive Italy knows how the right photographer can make the difference on how your day is remembered. With the increased importance of sharing your day with friends and family all around the world on social media, the photos need to be unique, artistic and also reflect all the beautiful emotions. At Distinctive Italy Weddings, we are experts in pairing the right photographer with you and your partner’s wedding vision. 

Don’t forget the video!

You are the stars of your special day - so why not have it recorded so you can play it back again and again. The Distinctive Italy team has connections to the best wedding videographers in the country. Using state-of-the-art equipment (think flying overhead drones), we will be able to capture every second of your wedding in Italy from every angle. 

Celebrating the way YOU want 

While the classic way to celebrate saying "I do" is with a reception dinner, with an elopement in Italy you can be as creative as you want with how you celebrate. How about with a wine tasting in Chianti,  a gourmet pic-nic on the waterfront of Lake Como, or maybe you've both always wanted to take a cooking class in Rome? Whether it be a day, weekend or week celebration, we've got you covered and know that the most important aspect of any luxury elopement is making it distinct to you. 

The perk of having a smaller celebration means that the possibilities are literally endless. If you imagine eloping in Venice, picture popping and toasting champagne on a gondola. Maybe you want to exchange vows at sunset on a beach in Sicily, or literally shout it from the mountains by Lake Como and then celebrate with an award winning intimate gourmet dinner. Anything can be completely personalised for your Italian elopement. 

One thing is for sure, choosing to marry in Italy for a destination elopement is guaranteed to be full of beauty, fun, mouthwatering food and romance!
