An Elopement in Italy – a dream, am I right?
We are Alba and Selene from ManiSol Wedding, a videographer and a photographer, elopement consultants and designers. We teamed up with the incredibly talented elopement and wedding planner Sara, founder of The Wedding Studio to make your Italian Elopement Dream come true. May it be with your loved one only, or with your immediate family and friends, we guarantee – you will forever leave a piece of your heart here.
Italy is much more than what the popular culture shows you – yes, we do have amazing art cities (like Venice, Florence, Rome) and picture-worthy scenarios, but our country is so much more than that. Italy also has incredible mountains, microscopical towns in the middle of nowhere, soft-rolling hills, and colorful seabeds. Yes, it’s pizza and Caprese salad but it’s also refined high-cuisine or tavern-style rustic meals. It’s Instagram-famous corners, but also unexplored locations you wouldn’t ever find online. Italy is all of this, and so much more: we deeply know it, having lived here all our lives, and we love to show all its shades to our couples. We will not recommend typical elopement locations: we want you to experience your elopement in Italy like a local, and fall in love with the tiny, unforgettable details and colors that we, as Italians, love so much.
If you are ready to live like a local, explore undiscovered corners of our beautiful country, and simply go beyond every expectation when you plan an elopement in Italy, you are in the right place and we are here for you.

Step One: Let's talk about you.
We have never shot two elopements that looked like each other – our main focus is creating an experience that speaks about the two of you.
Even if you are eloping with your immediate family or with some friends, you deserve your elopement day to speak about who you are and to be designed around your wildest dreams.
During our meeting call, we will talk about you: who you are as a couple, what you like when traveling, where you would see yourselves saying “I do” to one another, what types of activities would you want to experience during your wedding day and during your stay in Italy, how many days are you planning to stay, whether you want to be just the two of you or have some guests joining, and so much more.
Knowing what you like, the experiences you want to live, the little things you enjoy while on a trip is fundamental for us to start creating your elopement experience, aka step two:
Step Two: what italy has to offer
Many foreigners know the landmarks of Italy, but our country is so much more than that: we will guide you and make sure you are surrounded by the most perfect atmosphere for your wedding day. We will start with the information you shared with us on our call, and present you with some possible scenarios for your elopement in Italy.
We will help you think about the mood you want your day to have: don’t worry if you don’t have a specific venue or general area in mind yet, we will do our magic and find the most perfect spots for your elopement.
We believe that elopements deserve some level of privacy and intimacy: for example, if your dream is to get married in Piazza San Marco in Venice, we can have your ceremony as the sun rises, or propose you other unusual locations that will give you that same vibe with extra privacy and seclusion.
Depending on your wedding location, we will recommend our favorite wedding vendors to help you get the best of the best: wedding ceremony and reception venues, floral designers, hair & make-up artist, celebrants… We speak four languages (Italian, English, German and Spanish) so we will help you communicate with all the other vendors – or we will handle this ourselves if you pick a Collection that offers the presence of our Wedding Planners.
The real Dolce Vita: an intimate and romantic ceremony in Villa Cimbrone at sunrise, an aperitif during a boat ride in the Amalfi sea, a ride on the breathtaking streets on a vintage car…
step three: let's make it happen!
After having decided your elopement location and/or specific venue(s), we will coordinate with the vendors of your choice and create a step-by-step timeline of the day.
Our time with you during the day could be anything between three hours to twelve, and more: we can build a photo and video service around your ceremony and vows, a weekend-long experience of hiking, sunbathing, exploring, and more, or anything in between.
We will make sure you have a great Plan B in case of bad weather, or even keep the final date flexible (according to our schedule). We will create specific Pinterest boards and mood boards with you to keep you hyped about the amazing adventure you are about to have.
Also, we have a keen eye on the fashion side of the wedding as well: do you want a recommendation for the cutest (and most comfortable) wedding dresses? Shoes? Hairdos? We will love to help you with that, too!

step four: your elopement day is here, babes!
Welcome to our beautiful country: are you ready for your elopement in Italy?
We will make sure your entire elopement experience is stress-free, beautiful, and unforgettable. We will touch base with you upon your arrival in Italy, and help you find the best pre (and post) wedding activities – our favorite restaurants, the best transportation from the airport to your hotel or accommodation, and anything you may need.
On the Elopement Day, all of this will become real: you will get to say your vows in the most spectacular places and have a day that fully represents you as a couple. Let your emotions run free: we will be there to make sure you enjoy every minute of it. Our photos and videos will allow you to re-live your Elopement in Italy forever: not only how the day looked like, but most importantly, how the day felt like to you and your partner.
step five: re-live
We want you to remember your Italian elopement not only as a single special day but as an incredible and unforgettable life experience. Your memories will last forever through your photos and videos: they will speak about who you are, a token of your incredible experience to be re-lived and shared with the most important people of your lives.
Within 90 working days, we will send you your wedding videos and private gallery, and we may even print albums and canvases for you.
And if you become fernweh (one of our favorite German words: it roughly translates as an urge to travel, even stronger than wanderlust) of Italy, we will always be here for a vow renewal or an anniversary couple shoot!

Our goal is to create an Elopement Experience in Italy built around you, your needs, your ideas, and your personalities. Therefore, most of the time we work with Bespoke Quotations – however, these two are our Best Selling Collections. Both are valid if you want to have a two-people elopement with just the two of you, or if you want to have a few guests as well.
If you want to go big (like having a longer event and experience) or go small (having a shorter hour-coverage or having already planned most of your elopement day), contact us: we will create something special, just for you.
