Let’s first figure out what “elopement wedding” actually means. It refers to a marriage conducted in a sudden and secretive fashion, usually involving a hurried flight away from one’s place of residence together with the beloved one with the intention of getting married. So it is a miraculous holiday only for you two, celebrating with just yourselves or organising a small gathering in a minimal, more casual way.
Despite the fact that an elopement wedding does not imply hundreds of invited guests, organising this type of event also takes time, especially if you try to plan your wedding from the other side of the world. Our couples often ask us some questions regarding the proper organisation, mainly in order to be sure that they move in the right direction.
Deciding to elope in the charming Chianti region, which is located in Tuscany, could be a hard decision for a reason that a couple will not share the best moments of their lives close relatives and friends. But we need to bear in mind that there are no strict rules to follow! For example, some elopement ceremonies feature the couples’ intimate family or closest friends. This does not mean you cannot invite everyone, but the guest list is far more casual than what is expected for a wedding. No seating chart required here!
Anyway, whatever you decide, we want you to be sure that there is nothing wrong with eloping somewhere on your own. To have a small ceremony, being hidden among the green fields? Any your desire is only something you as a couple have to decide freely.
Also, eloping in Chianti could be just for a symbolic ceremony and not the official one. Besides, you can plan a magical moment of intimacy by renewing your vows and love to the person you chose to live your life with. Allow yourselves to dream a little and replicate magical moments for the two of you that will last forever in your memories.
So, how to plan an elopement in Chianti? Let’s see what you can expect.
The very first thing we usually discuss with couples who choose to elope in the heart of Tuscany is the wedding venues and the kind of celebration they want. Let’s now have a look at the variety of venues.
In Chianti, you have a great variety of choices. Being a cultural capital of the Renaissance epoch, Chianti has a lot to offer to you!
You can get married in a luxurious villa that has been decorated in the 16th century by a famous Italian painter. Can you imagine changing your vows in a villa that will fully be at your disposal? Sounds great, isn’t it? Definitely!
Or maybe an ancient cattle, which walls will defend your love? Why not? It is up to you and your wishes.
However, if you prefer something less sumptuous, a garden or a terrace would be perfect. Chianti has enough vast green spaces for you to have a hidden ceremony, enjoying a great natural view.
With such a variety of places, it is hard to decide and choose one location, but we are here to help you!
The most daunting part of any wedding is usually the price tag. Elopement weddings are suitable for couples who want to put their funds toward the honeymoon or the trip around Chianti.
The budget for an elopement is different from the traditional wedding with friends and relatives, but it still must be defined. We are going to arrange the best elope in Chianti you can imagine, according to your budget, just because we are professionals.
So do not worry, relax, and give us the keys to your dreams, because we can actually make them real. This day is about your commitment to each other, so, this is a way you can focus on what is most important – your love.
That day will be your special day and everything will have to be perfect including food. Do you have any gastronomical preferences? You only need to ask, and we can see what we can do to satisfy your desires. Tuscan cuisine is just a miracle: here you can try not only a great variety of seafood but also unusual and typical dishes made from vegetables, mushrooms, cheese and meat. And, of course, there is no need to tell about the Tuscany wines..! No matter if you love meat, fish or you are a vegan, we will find a way to satisfy all your expectations on that special day.
Every wedding or symbolic wedding is different from the other, this is why we usually don’t do standard packages, but we try to adapt our offers to the couple’s needs and requests.
By the way, we can give you an idea of what you can get with an elopement package with two examples.
For instance, you can dedicate the whole day to you both, starting with celebrating a symbolic wedding on a terrace. Then you can have a photoshoot that is included in the package. The advantage is that you get a complete one-day-long photoshoot, from the time you get dressed to the end of the day. In addition, by choosing this elopement package, you get the organised dinner in some location in the Chianti region, which is discussed with you in advance. Also, as Chianti has a lot to surprise you with, we can offer some activity on your choice for you to have a big and memorable day.
Moreover, for the couples who celebrate their anniversary, we always try to offer something special. The complete photoshoot and a romantic dinner, for example, in a private garden are already included in every elopement package. But you choose by yourself the place to renew the wedding vows. Ancient castles, historical palaces, luxury villas, and charming farmhouses – no any other Italian region could afford you so many sceneries for your special day. Cities of art or small villages still preserving the charm of antiquity, picturesque vineyards or olive groves, panoramas of fields or mountains…
