Elopement
What is an elopement and why elope in Paris?
An elopement is a wedding ceremony with just the two of you and maybe a set of witnesses or a small number of guests. Generally that means fewer than 10 guests. A lot of couples don't want to have a huge wedding and the cost of weddings around the world have sky rocketed over the last few of years. Eloping often makes sense. It is much cheaper to elope and allows more budget for other things such as the honeymoon. It is also a lot less stressful than planning a full wedding.
There are many beautiful outdoor locations around Paris such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Tuileries Gardens – just to name a few. All of these locations provide a beautiful backdrop for your symbolic ceremony conducted by a celebrant, and for your elopement photoshoot in Paris.
I would be honoured to be your Celebrant/Officiant to conduct your ceremony in Paris. I can also help you plan your destination elopement and recommend other vendors and locations to help make your special day truly memorable.
