A Magical Elopement to Paris.

It has been almost 3 months since our Paris elopement, and we are still on a high from the experience. Laura created such a personalized experience for us, curating our schedule and every detail meticulously so that we could just savor the magic of our day.

Everything was planned perfectly, and she and her team exceeded our expectations in every way. Living in the US and unfamiliar with Paris, Laura really took time to listen to us and understand our tastes and preferences. She put us at ease, removing uncertainty and relieving all of our stress, while sharing recommendations on where to stay, offering ceremony and photo locations, scheduling options and coordinating transportation. All we had to do was wake up and enjoy the ride.

She was delightful to work with throughout and orchestrated a beautiful experience and ceremony full of personal touches that only someone who truly knows us would’ve been able to include. By mixing romantic French passages with English in officiating, she made for an authentically Paris experience which we loved.

Everything was perfect: From the moment the stylist arrived at our hotel in the morning, to the friendly hotel greetings as we embarked, amazing transportation provided by a warm chauffeur who shared personal insights to Paris life and history while we travelled around the city, to the beautiful waterfront ceremony under the eye of the Eiffel Tower, to the way the photo/video team treated us like celebrities, capturing the day with us around Paris like a well knowledge entourage navigating the best lighting and finding iconic spots to photograph us at the Louvre, the bridge, and other amazing spots, shooting with angles only a local expert would employ.
Everything was like a perfect dream, and as we departed from Laura at the end of the day, it was like waving to an old friend. She treated us so well, personalized every moment to our preferences, and officiated our ceremony with such bright energy and romantic language. The beauty of the day and Paris has imprinted our hearts, and we are still reeling from the magic of the experience.

Paris Elopement

Had a wonderful experience with Laura in Paris. She guided us through the process from start to finish, and was very helpful in narrowing down locations and ceremony options. Day of, she put us both at ease, and made sure we had the most special day celebrating our elopement. Thanks, Laura!

Amazing officiant!

Laura was the officiant for our wedding two weeks ago at the Château d'Ermenonville, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! From our very first interaction, we knew we were in great hands. After being recommended by our wedding planner, Laura quickly set up a Zoom call with us, and we felt an instant connection with her warm and friendly personality.

She took the time to get to know us on a deep level, sending us thoughtful questionnaires about our story, our values, and how we met. She also offered to review our personal vows, which was very helpful.

Our request was not a simple one: we wanted a mixed Persian and Western ceremony, conducted in both French and English. But she took that challenge with enthusiasm and professionalism. She researched the Sofreh Aghd tradition and did a beautiful job explaining its significance to our guests. Her ability to seamlessly switch between French and English was flawless, ensuring that everyone felt included in the ceremony.

On the day of the wedding, Laura made us feel completely at ease. She coordinated perfectly with our wedding planner, and the entire ceremony flowed beautifully. We received many compliments from our guests, who were all impressed by her professionalism.

Thank you Laura for helping make our wedding day so perfect and memorable!

June 2025 Elopement

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate and plan our elopement in Paris than Laura, The Paris Officiant. From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, attentive, and so easy to communicate with — which made planning from another country feel completely stress-free.
What meant the most to us was how she took the time to truly personalize our ceremony. Every detail we wanted was thoughtfully included, and I would not have changed a thing. Beyond being professional, Laura is also just a genuinely kind and sweet person. She instantly made us feel comfortable, and her warm energy set the tone for one of the happiest days of our lives.
She went above and beyond in every way — not only creating a beautiful, meaningful ceremony, but also sharing some recommendations that helped us enjoy Paris to the fullest afterwards. If you’re dreaming of a Paris elopement or wedding, I couldn't recommend Laura enough!

Vow Renewal in Paris

Seamless, Personalized, Unforgettable - We 100% Recommend.

Laura was absolutely amazing and EXCEEDED all of our expectations! From the moment we connected with her, she was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly supportive. We weren't entirely sure what to expect when planning our ceremony abroad, but Laura made everything so seamless that all we had to do was show up. She took care of every detail, making the experience entirely stress-free.

One of the many ways Laura went above and beyond was her flexibility. When we mentioned a nearby photo spot that wasn't part of our original plan, she immediately worked it into the itinerary without hesitation. She truly made our day feel special and tailored to us. Further, Laura brought a personalized touch to our ceremony through her thoughtful questionnaire, which pulled for our values, personal stories, and shared experiences that she then incorporated into our ceremony, making it feel deeply meaningful and unique to us as a couple.

Laura is not only incredibly professional but also friendly, funny, and caring. Her warmth and humor made the entire process enjoyable and unforgettable.

If you're looking for an officiant in Paris, we cannot recommend Laura enough! Thank you, Laura!

Would recommend 100%!

Dream Elopement in Paris

I cannot express enough gratitude to Laura! She made our wedding day an absolute dream. We decided to elope, just us two. It was more than I could have ever dreamed of. Laura's ceremony was intimate and memorable. It truly was a day I will never forget.

Once we decided to elope in Paris, I started on my research and found The Paris Officiant website. The reviews all won me over. And I can confirm, they are all accurate!

Laura is so easy to work with and very responsive. Completely takes all stress and worry away - everything was planned and organized perfectly. She really takes the time to get to know you and made sure every detail was what you envisioned.

So thankful to have found her! We are so grateful for the memories. Thank you, Laura!!

The Perfect Paris Officiant

Laura’s gift for capturing and conveying a love story is pure magic. We were so lucky to have her referred to us by the Shangri-La. She was a true highlight of our wedding, with every guest complimenting her beautifully written and exceptionally well-delivered custom ceremony as well as her very chic outfit choice 😊 I cannot recommend her enough.
