The Paris Officiant

The Paris Officiant is Laura, an English-speaking celebrant serving international couples in Paris and across France. Drawing on more than ten years of experience and her own destination-elopement experience, she guides couples through planning and creates bespoke ceremonies that reflect their story, values, and vision. Her services include destination wedding ceremonies, intimate Paris elopements, and vow renewals, from celebrations with family and friends to private moments at landmarks, gardens, or other chosen venues.

Ceremonies can be inclusive, multicultural, bilingual, or interfaith, with an emphasis on helping couples and guests feel welcomed and connected. For couples seeking a simpler planning process, Laura also offers all-inclusive Paris elopement packages. These combine celebrant services with local vendors, which may include photography, videography, styling, flowers, and transportation.

Laura helps select locations, shape the timeline, and coordinate the team on the day, drawing on local knowledge to support couples organizing from abroad. The website also provides practical guides to Paris weddings, elopements, vow renewals, ceremony locations, and getting married in France, helping couples navigate planning and legal considerations
