Your wedding officiant for your symbolic wedding, elopement or vow renewal ceremony in Paris

Celebrant for weddings, elopements and vow renewal ceremonies in Paris and all over France/ Europe

Over the years, I have had the pleasure of officiating many ceremonies at the Shangri-La Paris. So when one of the people I have worked alongside countless times at this beautiful wedding venue and who has witnessed many of those ceremonies from behind the scenes, reached out to ask if I would officiate his daughter's wedding ceremony, I was deeply touched.

There is something incredibly meaningful about being entrusted with such an important moment by someone who has seen your work as a wedding celebrant in Paris over the years and knows exactly what you do.

It was a joy to get to know Margaux & Choumeng - a truly inspiring couple - and to create a ceremony that truly reflected them, their story, and the people they love.

On the wedding day, emotions ran high: Family members shared words that were funny, heartfelt, and moving. There was laughter, there were tears, and there was that special silence that sometimes settles over a ceremony when everyone is fully present in the moment - especially when Margaux & Choumeng exchanged their personal vows.

This was a wedding I will remember for a very long time.
Thank you, Margaux & Choumeng, and thank you to your wonderful family for allowing me to be part of it.

When couples think of getting married in Paris, they often imagine the classic Eiffel Tower view. But one of my favorite Paris elopement locations offers a completely different perspective: the Alexander III Bridge.

As a marriage celebrant and officiant in Paris, I love recommending this location because it combines so many of the things couples come to Paris for. You still have a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower, but you also have the elegance of the bridge itself: the ornate architecture, the grand statues, the historic lanterns, the golden details, and the Seine flowing beneath you. It feels refined, romantic, and unmistakably Parisian.

Whether for an intimate elopement ceremony, a renewal of wedding vows, or wedding photo portraits, Alexander III Bridge adds a sense of grandeur without taking away from the couple at the center of it all.

Would you choose the Alexander III Bridge for your wedding day, or do you prefer a more traditional Eiffel Tower view?

Why I still love being a wedding celebrant after 10 years?

It’s because I get to be part of a journey and moments of genuine connection:

I love those very first conversations, when a couple tells me about their vision and slowly discovers that a ceremony can be so much more than standing in front of each other and listening to a script. That there are readings, rituals, traditions, personal promises, contributions from loved ones, and so many ways to create a moment that truly feels like them.

I love the months that follow. The exchanges, the ideas, the little details that gradually come together until one day everything is ready and all that’s left is anticipation for the wedding day.

I love the moment the ceremony begins and I can feel my couple arrive in the moment. The nerves settle. The outside world fades away. And for a little while, nothing else matters except the two of them.

And I love the exchange of vows. The moment when all the planning becomes real. When emotions run high, promises are shared, and yes... sometimes I find myself tearing up too.

After more than 10 years, those moments still haven’t become ordinary. And I hope they never do.

What is the moment you look forward to most on your wedding day?

These early morning moments at the Eiffel Tower are one of my favorite things about Paris.

The sun is rising, the city is still quiet, and for a little while, Paris feels like it belongs only to us.

It’s the perfect moment to say “I do” — or to say “I do” once more.
To celebrate your elopement. To renew your vows. To pause and reflect on everything you have built together.

Christine & Nels chose exactly that. As the first light of day appeared behind the Eiffel Tower, they celebrated their lasting love. Then they explored the Golden Gate and Louvre with their vintage car - and made Paris part of their story.

And honestly, that’s why I love sunrise ceremonies so much as a marriage celebrant in Paris. Not only because the city is quieter, but because these moments feel intimate, peaceful, and completely yours.

Have you always dreamed of a sunrise wedding in Paris?

If you are an art lover, Paris is a pretty incredible place to get married.

For Lily & Jonathan’s destination wedding in Paris, art became part of the atmosphere - not only inside museums, but all around them.

The couple took beautiful wedding photos at the Musée Rodin, surrounded by sculptures of this famous master. But one of the beautiful things about Paris is that art, culture, and history are present far beyond museum walls.

From the Louvre courtyard to the golden gates of the Petit Palais Museum and the elegant columns of Palais Royal, inspiration appears at almost every street corner.

That’s what makes getting married in Paris feel so unique. Even the walk between locations becomes part of the experience.

As a wedding celebrant in Paris, I love when couples are choosing places that reflect who they are and what they genuinely connect with - not just visually, but personally. For Lily & Jonathan, Paris was not simply a backdrop. It was part of the story itself.

Which Paris art-inspired location would you choose for your wedding photos?

Writing personal wedding vows can feel surprisingly intimidating.

Many couples worry their vows will sound too emotional, too awkward, not poetic enough - or simply stare at a blank page not knowing where to begin.

But after listening to hundreds of couples exchange vows during destination weddings, Paris elopements, and vow renewals, I can promise you this: The vows people remember most are rarely the “perfect” ones. They are the vows that feel honest.

Very often, it is the small details that make wedding vows emotional and unforgettable: the tiny habits, the memories only the two of you understand, the difficult moments you overcame together, or the simple everyday things that quietly became part of your love story.

Your vows do not need to sound like a movie script. They simply need to sound like you.

I shared my best tips for writing personal wedding vows on the Journal - including structure ideas, emotional guidance, and ways to make your vows feel authentic rather than generic.

A Hidden Gem for a Paris Elopement: Parc de Bagatelle

Some Paris elopement locations feel iconic. Others feel like a well kept secret.

For Alex & Jennifer’s Paris elopement, we chose Parc de Bagatelle - one of the most beautiful hidden gems in Paris, especially for couples looking for a quieter and more intimate atmosphere away from the larger crowds.

From the pale blue and gold entrance gates to the little blue gazebo overlooking the rose garden, every corner of the park feels effortlessly elegant and romantic. There are winding pathways, rose-covered arches, hidden corners, and the Orangerie - the beautiful château-like building where I officiated their ceremony.

Their elopement ceremony there felt incredibly intimate and romantic, eloping in Paris and exchanging personal marriage vows surrounded by the calm atmosphere of the gardens.

If you love roses, summer is especially magical here when the rose garden is in full bloom. But as Alex & Jennifer’s autumn elopement beautifully shows, Parc de Bagatelle is charming in every season. There’s something about this place that feels effortlessly Parisian and almost royal at the same time.

Would you choose this kind of hidden garden atmosphere over the more famous Paris locations?
