Switzerland Elopement Planning

Switzerland Elopement planning

Planning an elopement in Switzerland starts right here.

So you want to elope in Switzerland. Good choice – and a big decision tree: Which region? Legal or symbolic? Summer ridgeline or snowed-in mountain hotel? This page is your starting point. From here, you’ll find everything we’ve written about eloping in Switzerland: the regions, the process, the costs, and the real stories of couples who’ve done it.

We’re Chris and Alina, wedding photographers based in Eastern Switzerland. We’ve spent years photographing elopements in these mountains – mostly in the Alpstein, where we live, but also across the Swiss Alps. Below, we’ll point you to the right guide for every question.
