Hi everyone,
I’ve been dreaming about planning a small, intimate elopement somewhere in Europe — somewhere that feels timeless and romantic, like a hidden vineyard in Italy, a castle terrace in France, or the serene lakes of Switzerland.

What appeals most to me is the idea of a ceremony that’s truly personal, focusing on the couple’s story rather than traditions or formalities. I’ve come across celebrants who specialise in crafting such bespoke elopement ceremonies, and it seems like having someone experienced makes a huge difference in keeping the day relaxed yet meaningful.

For those of you who have eloped in Europe, what locations or experiences made the ceremony unforgettable? I’d love to hear about any unique ideas that can make an intimate wedding feel truly magical.
