Hera
Elopement
The elopement to say “yes” to you
In the past, couples who experienced forbidden love and were hindered by their families would elope to marry in secret and make their union official.
It is in this ancient gesture of rebellion and courage that the elopement wedding has its roots. Today, choosing an elopement takes on a very different meaning.
There are love stories that intertwine along unexpected paths. For some, life is made up of chapters to be closed with courage and others to be written with confidence.
Perhaps there has been a past marriage, a journey of personal growth or simply years of searching for that authentic bond that makes the heartbeat lightly and truthfully.
These newlyweds not only celebrate the encounter, but honour the journey: the challenges overcome, the lessons learned and the profound awareness that comes with time. Every look, every smile, carries with it the richness of a journey that has shaped the people they are today.
I believe in the beauty of these new beginnings. An elopement wedding, for me, is much more than an event: it is a manifesto of mature, deep and conscious love, capable of interweaving past and future in a moment that celebrates the present.
If this narrative resonates with you, I am here to help you create a wedding that reflects your journey and authenticity, making every detail a symbol of your new beginning.
Why choose Hera:
- you are a couple that prefers an intimate and cosy atmosphere but, mind you, not an understated wedding! The ceremony takes on an exclusive, symbolic, sometimes adventurous feel as it is preferred to be held in the mountains, beach or woods. The focus here is on the experience of the bride and groom.
- you avoid all the practical and logistical difficulties that arise in organising weddings with many guests. You will have no guest list to draw up, no table seats to organise. Many foreign couples who choose an elopement in Italy invest a large part of their budget in taking epic photos with amazing scenery.
- costs are lower and can be invested in clothes, fittings, honeymoon. You could offer flight and accommodation to the special guests you have selected. You can choose the best suppliers, whom you might have given up organising a wedding with so many guests.
- an elopement allows you to find yourself already on your honeymoon: you can set off at once to discover a country near or far, alone or accompanied by your guests.

How much does Hera cost
It is not easy to define a cost for this service and let us not be fooled by the fact that it is for the few. This is not to say that it could be ‘cheap’.
While it is true that in a traditional wedding you choose to invest in many guests, it is equally true that for an elopement the number of guests is certainly smaller, but you may choose to indulge in several extra experiences.
The cost of this service therefore varies depending on the complexity of the ritual and the location of the event.
Its value ranges
from € 3,000.00
