The Two
behind
Your Luxury Elopement in Rome
Behind every luxury elopement in Rome we design, there are two people who have spent eighteen years and more than five hundred couples perfecting one quiet conviction - that the most beautiful weddings are the smallest.
***
We are Alessia and Alexander, and this is the story behind the studio.
“We don’t simply plan your Elopement in Rome. We live every moment of it alongside you.”
— Alessia&Alexander
Born in Rome.
Built for Couples Far From Home.
We are Alessia and Alexander — husband and wife, planner and photographer, shaped by this city and by the years we have spent travelling far beyond her. We born here, have been raised here, met here, married here, and built a life within these ancient walls. Then we began giving other couples the same gift Rome gave us: a place to begin.
For nearly two decades, we have designed weddings and elopements for couples arriving from across the world — from New York and London, Dublin and Sydney — each one drawn to the idea of marrying in the most romantic city on earth.
We have learned that the couples who choose Rome are rarely looking for the biggest day. They are looking for the truest one.
That is what we build: true days, in a city that has been perfecting romance for thousands of years.
Alessia, Who Designs the Day
Alessia came to weddings through the world of fashion and luxury retail, where she learned that elegance lives in the details others overlook.
A certified officiant and a student of etiquette, she is the kind of planner who notices the seventh detail in a room of six — the fold of a napkin, the angle of the light, the half-second pause before a couple says yes.
She designs every elopement from a blank page, holding each couple's hand through the entire journey — from the first conversation to the final toast.
Nothing is templated. Nothing is left to chance.
Your vision becomes her mission.
Alexander, Who Captures It
Alexander is a professional photographer with a background in luxury travel and an editorial eye honed over years behind the lens.
He doesn't pose your moments: he protects them, present but unseen, capturing the glance, the touch, the quiet tear that no one else noticed.
Because he is part of the team that plans your day, he already knows your story before he photographs it.
He has walked the city with you in consultation, learned the way you look at each other when you think no one is watching. Then, with premium equipment and an artist's restraint, he keeps it forever.
Why We Built a Second Studio
Our original planning house has welcomed couples from every continent since 2008.
But over the years, we noticed a particular kind of couple returning to us again and again — those who wanted less, not more. Fewer guests. Greater privacy. A day shaped entirely around the two of them, elevated to the highest level of luxury.
So we built a home just for them.
Rome Luxury Elopement is, by design, the smaller and more exclusive of our two houses — by appointment, by referral, and by the kind of conversation that begins with “tell us your story” and ends with “we would be honoured.”
We take only a limited number of elopements each year, so that every couple receives all of us.
How a Luxury Elopement in Rome Comes Together
From your first message to the final frame, the journey is simple, considered, and entirely guided by us.
Here is how it unfolds.
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1 — The Conversation | A private, complimentary call to understand your story, your vision, and the day you have imagined. |
| 2 — The Design | We craft your elopement from a blank page — location, ceremony, vendors, and the experiences around it, all bespoke. |
| 3 — The Day | You arrive in Rome with nothing to manage. We coordinate every detail while you live each moment. |
| 4 — Forever | Alexander's photography keeps the day exactly as it felt — yours to return to, always. |
Throughout, you have one team and one point of contact.
Everything is handled — it’s already done for you.
What We Believe
Every studio has a philosophy. Ours is simple, and we hold to it completely.
***
That ten guests is enough — and often, two is perfect.
That a wedding is a private act witnessed by a few, not a performance for many.
That the city you marry in matters as much as the day itself.
That every detail, from the bouquet to the bread on the table, deserves intention.
That true luxury is never rushed, never mass-produced, and never cheap — it is restraint, discretion, and care.
That the best surprises are the ones you didn't know to ask for.
