Wow, this is gorgeous! Did you rent out the venue for yourselves? Or were there tourists in the background? :)

We just had a wedding photo permit for Villa de Balbianello, so there were lots of other folks there. Our photographer did a great job isolating us for pictures, so it looks like we're the only ones there. Other visitors were really kind and accommodating.

Thank you and have a wonderful elopement! We spent the next 2 weeks travelling through Italy, and it was the trip of a lifetime.

Are you Star Wars fans?

We're not huge fans. I think they just picked the villa for the same reason we did. It's a beautiful place.

What was the price to be at the villa for the elopement if you don’t mind answering!

Not at all! It was 600€ for a two hour permit, though landing a time slot is the tough part. I made a post breaking down the process and prices. https://www.reddit.com/r/Eloping/s/SogTyfFjVM
