Moreover you’ll find lots of info and inspiration regarding these best places to get married or elope in Paris to start planning your Paris wedding, intimate wedding in Paris, Paris micro wedding, elopement in Paris or Paris vow renewal.

1. Shangri-La Paris

The Shangri-La Paris is one of my absolute favorite Paris wedding venues. Why? Because first of all it has the most stunning views on the Eiffel Tower. Secondly the Shangrila Paris Hotel has gorgeous and opulent indoor ballrooms where you can host your Paris wedding ceremony and reception. Furthermore there is a beautiful staircase, lobby and garden with Eiffel Tower view – so many more pretty spots for Paris wedding photos.

What you need to know about this Paris wedding venue

Signature feature: Paris wedding venue with the best Eiffel Tower views!
Event: Wedding, Elopement, Vow Renewal
Size: 0-200 guests

Located: Near Trocadero Eiffel Tower (10 Avenue d’Iéna)

Best ceremony locations at the Shangrila Paris

Eiffel Tower view terrace

Book one of the rooms with Eiffel Tower view balcony to stay a couple of nights at the Shangri La Paris. Then simply use the Eiffel Tower view terrace of your room to get married there with a small and intimate elopement ceremony. The Eiffel Tower view balconies work well for elopements with just the two of you or only a handful of guests. You can also celebrate a Paris micro wedding with a small and intimate ceremony on the Eiffel Tower suite terrace.

Example: Above you see a horizontal photo of Mery & Juan. The married couple renewed their wedding vows on the balcony of their room with a stunning view on the Eiffel Tower. Read & see more on my blog about this Eiffel Tower vow renewal at the Paris wedding venue Shangri La.

Beautiful Ballrooms

If you are planning a larger wedding then my favorite places for your ceremony at the Shangrila Paris wedding venue are the opulent golden ballroom (Grand Salon) and the elegant blue ballroom (Salon de la Famille). The architecture and decoration are simply stunning and my top pick for an indoor Paris wedding venue.

Eiffel Tower Garden

The Shangrila Hotel in Paris also has a small garden from where you can see the Eiffel Tower. This is a romantic place for an intimate outdoor wedding ceremony or elopement in Paris.

My personal recommendation for your Paris elopement

Head out early for your wedding photoshoot in Paris – the Eiffel Tower is just around the corner. After that return to the Shangrila Paris to take more photos on the famous staircase and in the ballrooms of available. Then get married with an elopement ceremony on the Eiffel Tower view balcony of your hotel room in the late morning.

Insider tip: Book a split Paris elopement photo session: Have your wedding photoshoot in Paris and at the Eiffel Tower in the morning, then take a break. Plan your elopement ceremony later in the day during the blue hour on your Eiffel Tower view balcony of your hotel room at the Shangri La. Let’s schedule your elopement ceremony so that the Eiffel Tower is lighting up and starts sparkling when I get the two of you married in Paris as your officiant.

Salon Psyche & other ballrooms

The Hotel Ritz Paris is a great wedding venue in Paris because it provides several ballrooms & parlors of different sizes & decor (such as Salons César Ritz, Salon Garamond, Salon Louis XIV or Salon Vendôme). My personal favorite ballroom at the Ritz Paris is the Salon Psyché. This historic ballroom in deep red and golden tones showcases golden woodwork, majestic tapestry and a marble fireplace. Perfect for your elopement ceremony, intimate wedding ceremony as well as micro wedding in Paris.

Example: Above you see a horizontal photo of Fiona & Lawrence’s elegant elopement in Paris. The were getting married at the Salon Psyché with a celebrant ceremony, officiated by myself, and were celebrating their wedding just the two of them with a romantic candle light dinner. Check my blog to get inspired by their Ritz Paris elopement wedding.

Garden (Grand Jardin)

A beautiful place for a summery outdoor wedding celebration at the Ritz Paris wedding venue is their garden in the inner courtyard. The Ritz Paris gardens has romantic alcoves, a beautiful terrace, linden trees and magnolia flowers – and a path with a few stairs that can be used as wedding aisle for your intimate ceremony. The Grand Jardin is great for Paris elopements, small and intimate weddings in Paris and Paris micro weddings.

Example: Above you see a horizontal picture of H & C walking down the aisle after their ceremony with me, their celebrant in Paris. On my blog you find more inspiration of their intimate wedding in Paris at the Ritz Paris wedding venue.

Summer Parlor (Salon d’Ete)

The summer parlor of the Ritz hotel Paris is adjacent to the terrace and garden. So both locations at the Ritz Paris wedding venue can be combined: You can for example have your wedding ceremony in the Salon and the cocktail on the terrace and garden.

Example: Above you see a vertical photo of Mary-Beth & Adam’s wedding ceremony at the Salon d’Ete. They had actually planned their Paris wedding ceremony in the Grand Jardin, but on their wedding day there was a high risk of rain. So they decided to use the Salon for their ceremony, which was just as beautiful.
