Bringing Quiet-Luxury  Elopements to Life Worldwide.

My Journey

Hi, I'm Rochelle Cheever, the founder and author or "The Elopement Experience™. Raised in Rome, surrounded by timeless art, rich history, and a culture celebrating life’s beauty, I deeply appreciated elegance and intention. In Italy, every experience—whether a meal or a celebration—is an art form, and this shaped my passion for creating meaningful, stylish moments.

After earning my Master of Fine Arts at the prestigious Florence Academy, I began my career as a painter and photographer. These artistic roots taught me the importance of color, composition, and storytelling—skills I now use to design bespoke intimate weddings and elopements. Over the years, I’ve written three books on elopements, refining my expertise in quiet-luxury celebrations.

Cultural Influence

As a dual citizen of Italy and the United States, I merge the classic elegance of Italian design with the modern-chic vibe of California. Inspired by the Italian philosophy of la dolce vita—enjoying life’s simple pleasures—I design elegant elopements that reflect your love story and the charm of your chosen destination.
