ELOPE IN PARIS

Paris, the City of Love, is one of the most iconic destinations for an elopement, offering an unmatched combination of romance, elegance, and charm. Whether you envision exchanging vows under the Eiffel Tower, in a hidden garden, or on a bridge overlooking the Seine, Paris provides countless picturesque spots that create the perfect setting for your elopement.

Known for its historic architecture, world-renowned museums, and iconic landmarks, Paris offers couples the chance to elope in a truly magical and cultural setting. The timeless elegance of Paris’s streets and neighborhoods, from Montmartre’s artistic atmosphere to the sophisticated ambiance of Le Marais, gives you a wide variety of options for a tailored elopement experience.

In addition to its charm, Paris is known for its gourmet food, fine wines, and luxury services, offering an all-inclusive experience for those looking to make their elopement day even more special. If you want to add a touch of Parisian elegance, consider indulging in a private photo shoot in front of landmarks such as the Louvre or the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral.

No matter your preferences, Paris offers something for every couple seeking a memorable and intimate elopement experience, with the added advantage of being a year-round destination with its romantic ambiance always in season.

It’s important to consider the weather when eloping to Paris, as it can play a key role in setting the right atmosphere for your wedding day. Spring (April to June) is one of the best times to elope in Paris, with mild temperatures, blooming flowers, and fewer crowds. The city's gardens are in full bloom, creating a romantic backdrop for outdoor ceremonies. Fall (September to October) offers crisp, cool weather and golden autumnal colors, ideal for intimate elopements with scenic city views.

Summer (July to August) brings warm weather and longer days, perfect for evening ceremonies by the Eiffel Tower or sunset along the Seine, though it can be busier with tourists. Winter (November to March) offers a cozy, magical ambiance, especially around the holidays when the city is adorned with festive lights and fewer crowds. Each season brings its charm, so whether you prefer the blossoms of spring or the twinkling lights of winter, Paris offers something special year-round for your elopement.

Paris boasts an excellent public transportation system, including buses, metro, and taxis.

A Paris elopement is the epitome of romance, offering a blend of excitement, elegance, and privacy. Your elopement day will typically last 4-6 hours, allowing you to take in the magic of the city at your own pace.

Your planner will work with you to design a personalized timeline, starting with the preparation and ceremony. A typical ceremony in Paris lasts about 20 minutes, taking place in a beautiful, intimate setting. Whether you choose a secluded park or a landmark location, Paris provides countless stunning backdrops that make your vows feel extra special. The iconic Eiffel Tower, for example, can serve as a perfect, symbolic backdrop for your ceremony.

After the ceremony, your dedicated photographer, who specializes in editorial-style photography, will take you to some of the most picturesque locations in Paris for a photoshoot. The city’s romantic streets, lush gardens, and charming cafés provide endless photo opportunities. You might also want to consider capturing some candid moments along the Seine or in front of the Louvre.

Depending on your preferences, you may choose to extend your day by exploring the hidden gems of Paris or enjoying a celebratory meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant. With sunset ceremonies being particularly stunning in Paris, your elopement day will be designed to create lasting memories that reflect your love and connection.

Our Paris elopement packages include a professional planner, day-of coordination, a skilled photographer with an editorial eye, a celebrant, a bouquet, and a buttonhole. Enhance your experience with additional services such as hair and makeup, videography, private transport, or bespoke experiences tailored to your preferences.

1. Choose early morning or late afternoon for photos. Paris can get busy, especially around iconic spots like the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre. For the most intimate experience, plan your ceremony or photo session early in the morning or just before sunset when the light is beautiful, and the city is quieter.

2. Incorporate a private Seine River Cruise. A private boat ride along the Seine River is a romantic way to celebrate after your ceremony. Many couples love to enjoy a glass of champagne while taking in views of landmarks like Notre Dame and Pont Alexandre III.

3. Personalize with a Parisian Picnic. After your vows, enjoy a classic Parisian picnic in one of the city's gorgeous parks, like the Luxembourg Gardens or Champ de Mars. Include French favorites like fresh baguettes, cheeses, macarons, and a bottle of champagne for a relaxed yet chic experience.

4. Consider hidden gems for your ceremony. While famous landmarks are popular, consider less-known but equally romantic spots like the Medici Fountain in the Luxembourg Gardens, or the quiet Île Saint-Louis for a more intimate and unique elopement setting.
