your day,
go private
We offer two types of ceremony locations: public and private. Public locations (like Trocadero or Tuileries) are free, but do not allow for any additional decorations, rose petals, confetti, flowers, food, or any type of music. Private locations, such as hotels or terraces, require advance booking (at least 1-4 months) and typically range from €2k to €7k. These venues offer the flexibility to personalize your ceremony with decorations, flowers, and either live or bluetooth music.

— KING FRANCIS

Couples fly to Paris to visit these special places and soak up the French romance.
easy to
plan
We made the planning process as simple as possible. We ask questions about couple's wishes and expectations on every step. We use questionnaires to collect and save information. That's what our couples fill in to personalize their wedding day.
We ask brides to create their inspirational Pinterest boards, send references for hair and makeup and choose photoshoot locations. Our couples can plan a destination wedding from home just in 4-5 evenings when they have free time.
Perfect for introverts and busy couples!

your
precious time
booking
-We confirm everyone's availability.
-You send one deposit to us, and we distribute it to the vendors.
-We reserve your date with a deposit and book the vendors.
-We handle all technical questions from vendors, so you don't have to.
planning & coordination
How can this all-inclusive package save you time? Consider the hours spent finding and booking just one wedding professional. You’d search on Google or Instagram, connect through social media, compare prices and portfolios, and then, if only everything looks good, schedule a chat. You’d need to talk to at least 5-6 people to find the right match who is available and suits your needs. Now, multiply that by 10 to find your ideal wedding team. Factor in choosing a venue, planning the ceremony, handling logistics (OH MY!), and coordinating vendors and transportation—especially from overseas—and it becomes incredibly stressful and time-consuming.
With us you book all your vendors in one place with one deposit,
the planning process will be fun and never overcomplicated:
-One week before the wedding, we start monitoring the weather to ensure there is no rain on your big day.
-We plan your perfect timeline based on weather, traffic, and chosen locations.
-We make sure your vision is executed properly.
-We ensure everyone follows the timeline.
-If something takes longer than expected, we coordinate the rest. For example, if your makeup takes 40 minutes longer than planned, we will notify the officiant.
-We handle all wedding logistics.
flowers
-We gather information about your preferred flowers, and brides send us their "dream bouquet."
-We then take care of the rest. We contact the florist to confirm the chosen flowers are in season. If they are, we place the order and coordinate delivery.
-One day before the elopement, we pick up the bouquet from the florist.
-On the day of the elopement, we deliver it to your location.
hair and makeup
-We ask our brides to find inspirational hair and makeup photos.
-We then create a group chat with our makeup artist for you to discuss your desired look.
-You only need to discuss the look you want; we handle the rest, including adding makeup to the timeline and sharing your address.
-Our makeup artist helps to put the dress on.
-She also helps with the veil and accessories.
photoshoot
-We plan your photoshoot route based on available locations.
-Tim helps with posing and gives guidance. Tim explains every single pose.
-Our photoshoot is location-based rather than hour-based, ensuring you visit all planned spots even if there are delays. We make sure you visit all as planned even if you stuck in traffic for 1 hour.
ceremony
-We prepare your personalized ceremony script.
-We plan the ceremony based on the weather and coordinate with the officiant.
-Before the ceremony, we meet with the officiant to ensure she arrives on time.
-The officiant also meets the guests near their Uber drop off.
-If you have a first look planned, the officiant will meet the groom near his Uber drop off and help with the first look.
on the wedding day
-We ensure everything goes as planned.
-Any issues will be handled by Tim, so you don't need to worry.
-If needed, we'll assist with restrooms or drive to the nearest cafe for a takeaway coffee if you're running out of energy.
rain
-If there’s a chance of rain and the couple decides to postpone, we select the best available date. We contact all vendors to confirm they can adjust to the new date, whether it's a few days earlier or later.
-We also coordinate with the florist to ensure flowers are picked up on the new date, so you receive a fresh bouquet even if the wedding is postponed by 2-3 days.
-We then re-plan the timeline and coordinate with vendors for the rescheduled date.

They are incredibly organized and proactive throughout the entire planning process.

photography
by tim
For the past eight years, we have selected the 15 best locations in Paris for wedding photoshoots. These include iconic views such as Petit Palais and the famous Eiffel Tower. We provide a list of photoshoot locations for you to choose from. We know which spots in the Louvre are best for an elegant bride in a long mermaid dress and which are perfect for a fashion-forward bride in a jumpsuit.
The photography included in our elopement packages is location-based rather than hourly. This ensures peace of mind, knowing the locations you want to capture will be perfect without the risk of an overtime invoice due to bad traffic or weather.
The famous Trocadero Square with the best view of the Eiffel Tower. Tim is taking photos at sunrise, April 2024.
PHOTOSHOOT LOCATIONS
Louvre Pyramids
The Louvre pyramids are a huge hit and perfect for every elopement style. Just choose this location – it's the best option out there!
Petit Palais
Available only from late March to September.
Trocadero
The Parisian classic, Trocadero, is available and looks amazing all year round. However, it might be limited during Fashion Week two times a year (please google the dates).
Paris Streets
Depending on the month and traffic, we offer different streets. Send us a message to see the full selection.
Louvre Gallery
Just iconic! The best. No explanation needed.
Pont
Alexandre 3
One of the best locations if you love architecture.
River Seine
Another classic. Gorgeous all year round.
Tuileries
We recommend the Tuileries only from mid-April to mid-November, when there is greenery.
Cafe
With the second set of outfits.
Our posing approach helps couples feel relaxed during their shoot.
It's natural to feel nervous about posing in front of the camera, but there's no need to worry. We discuss with couples what they want and what they'd prefer to avoid. This ensures our clients feel comfortable and avoid any awkward moments.
We help with posing & outfits
Come to the photoshoot with zero experience and be camera-shy. We'll guide you through every pose. And help with your outfits.
Classic + candid
We combine classic wedding portraits with fun, candid shots.
We edit
Our style is soft and romantic. We remove people from the background until every shot is clean.
We work only during the sunrise. To avoid crowds and capture the best light. Paris gets busy from 11 AM to late night, so morning is the only time popular spots like the Eiffel Tower and Louvre are empty.
We plan all our ceremonies at sunrise. Here is an approximate idea of what to expect:
you can expect:
February, March ceremony starts at 7:30-8 AM
April ceremony starts at 7:15 AM
May, June, July ceremony starts at 5:40 AM
ELOPEMENT DAY TIMELINE
August, September ceremony starts at 7 AM
October ceremony starts at 8 AM
November, December ceremony starts at 8:30-9AM
FLOWERS
Eloping doesn’t mean you can’t have stunning flowers.
Helen will create arrangements that perfectly match your vision, with color palettes ranging from cream, blush, and white to vibrant hues.
What is included:
-One bridal bouquet
-Groom's bouttoniere
For same-sex elopements, we’ll customize the flowers, Whether that means adding a second bouquet or replacing it with an additional boutonniere.

bridal glam
hair and
makeup
The Carousel package includes professional hair and makeup for the bride at your hotel or Airbnb in Paris.
A few weeks before your elopement, we'll set up a chat with the artist to go over the details. On the day, the artist will arrive in the morning to help you get ready and create the bridal look you love.

transportation
To plan the day's logistics, we need just two things: the couple’s hotel address and a list of your chosen photoshoot locations. We’ll use this information to create the most efficient route, minimizing time spent in traffic.
We'll do our best to reschedule your elopement to ensure you get the best possible photos because we're here for you. If there's a chance, we'll choose the best day available and move. However, during busy months from April to November, our schedule fills up quickly due to the high number of couples booking with us, and we're often fully booked with no openings.
If you're concerned about the weather, we recommend having an indoor plan B, such as booking a hotel with a terrace. So if it rains we will do our best to move the date, but we do not promise our availability.
WHAT TO BOOK:
RAIN AND
BAD WEATHER
-An Airbnb with a terrace to have a ceremony or photos there
-Shangri-La Hotel Paris with its famous Eiffel view
-Hotel Marignan is super affordable
-The Ritz Paris is incredible, book for sure
-Hôtel Plaza Athénée

Leave
No trace elopement
In our public ceremony locations (like Trocadero, Tuileries etc), leave no trace elopement in the city means having a simple, intimate wedding that leaves no environmental footprint. We do not allow any decorations, flowers, tables. It is simply not legal. For all our public place ceremonies, we kindly ask not to bring any unsustainable items like rose petals or confetti, fake butterflies, as well as music, food, or other decorations. It's all about real love, respecting Paris and its locals, and planning responsibly. Remember, outdoor spaces are public!
12 months
best time to book
The best time to start planning is 10-12 months before the wedding, but we often handle last-minute elopements with just a few days' notice.
No calls
text only
As wedding planners, we focus on communication through emails and chats to streamline the planning process. While we understand that some couples may prefer Zoom calls, we’ve found that written communication allows us to stay organized and provide detailed responses.
