The base package is a complete foundation for your elopement. You can add elements to match your priorities.
| Extra | Best For | How It Affects the Package |
|---|---|---|
| Professional Videography | Couples who want to capture the vows and private dinner atmosphere in motion. | We add a 5-hour videography package from a trusted creative partner to match your photography coverage. |
| Live Musicians | Adding a classic, elegant feel to the ceremony and dinner. | A solo violinist or harpist is most common and works well with the garden acoustics. |
| Ceremony Florals | Defining the ceremony space with more than personal florals. | Simple, freestanding arrangements are best. The venue has strict rules on installations, which we manage. |
| Legal Paperwork Assistance | Couples who want a legally binding civil marriage in Italy. | This requires a separate town hall ceremony. We coordinate the appointments and paperwork. |
| Guest Management | Elopements with a small number of guests (up to 10). | This adds significant costs for venue fees, catering, and coordination. We manage all details. |
| Private Wine Tasting | Experiencing the famous wines of the Valpolicella region. | We can arrange a private tasting at a local winery on a day before or after your elopement. |
