planned 300+ ceremonies in Paris
What is a public ceremony location? Will my ceremony be private?
We offer wedding ceremonies at popular public locations in Paris, like Trocadero Square or the Seine River. Since these are public spaces, other people may be around. To keep it more intimate, we schedule our ceremonies early in the morning when it's less crowded. While we can’t control tourists, they’re usually respectful when they see a wedding. If we start at sunrise, it’s almost empty—perfect for your photos!
Can we make the ceremony private?
Unfortunately, we can’t reserve public places in Paris for private use. There might be other people around. And that's why we start at sunrise to avoid that. If you want a private ceremony, we recommend booking a private venue, such as a hotel or a large Airbnb, separately.
Can we add decorations or a table?
Many couples imagine decorations like a floral arch, rose petal pathways, and fancy tables at public spots like Trocadero. First, it’s simply not legal. While some planners may offer small decorations, we prefer to stay within the rules to ensure everything goes smoothly. Bringing big decorations to public spaces can cause trouble with the authorities and add stress to your day. It’s best to just focus on having fun and enjoying the moment. The celebration is about happy moments, and not dealing with the police.

Trocadero green area is great for a larger ceremony with up to 10 guests, with an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower.
Might be closed during Paris Fashion Week (February and September). Sometimes they build structures for fashion shows. We never know in advance, so please double-check with us 1–2 weeks before the elopement. We’d say there’s about an 80% chance it’ll be closed in February and September.

the main view of trocadero
for two only, april to september
This tiny ceremony location is for two people, as it has very little space. It's not very private, but if you love the view, it’s worth it, and we will edit out the people. Available from April to September due to the early sunrise. The early sunrise gives us a chance to be alone there, but it can still be filled with some other couples and photographers taking photos, even in the morning. But again, the view... a dream!

Trocadero Square is a beautiful ceremony spot for just two people. It's perfect for summer elopements, from April to September, when the sunrise is still early. Take a look at this spot and imagine yourself getting married here. If it truly feels like yours, it's YOURS. But remember, this spot is strictly for two only. Since the square belongs to a museum, security doesn't permit gatherings. No guests, just the couple. And only for summer months, from April to September.

This is where you come for the beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. It's a lovely place to have a sweet ceremony and soak in the atmosphere of Paris and the River Seine. You can watch the Eiffel Tower up close, and it feels like you can hold it in your hands. When the sun is shining, the view is breathtaking!
River Seine is perfect for any month of the year and the best option for winter ceremonies. It's spacious enough to fit a larger elopement with 10 guests, but it’s also just perfect for the couple alone.

A big open-air sculpture garden right next to the Louvre Museum. You can exchange your vows here, celebrate, and just relax under the sun. It's green and peaceful. The Tuileries Garden is a large historic landmark—a beautiful park in the middle of the most beautiful city in the world.
Please take a look here; we describe how green it is throughout the months of the year.

Looking for a Louvre ceremony? This very cute garden area is our secret and a hidden gem. It is perfect for couples who want something expensive looking but not too cliche. Not too touristy at all. Our secret ceremony spot, this exact spot was never used by any planners. If you are not sure about your ceremony, you do not want the Eiffel Tower and other options do not fit your style, go for this Louvre area. It is 10 out of 10 very private ceremony location. And under the tree feels very traditional!
Can I expect my chosen ceremony location to be 100% available?
You are selecting a package with public city locations, which means we don't have exclusive rights to the spot, and some things can happen. Occasionally, there are political, sporting, or music events, or locations may be closed for construction. For example, Trocadero is often closed for fashion week shows in September and February. Generally, everything goes smoothly, and we can hold the ceremony as planned. However, public spaces are unpredictable, so couples should be mentally prepared to be flexible and have a plan B. If you're someone who has a "my vision or nothing", you should definitely book a guaranteed private venue. While locations may sometimes be closed, we always offer plenty of great alternatives.

This street might be nice if you're looking for something unique. However, it's only available from May to August due to the early sunrise. If we arrive later than 6 AM, it will be super crowded. That's why we don't work here during peak tourist months, like April or September.
