The Best Places to Elope in Buenos Aires

La Boca's colourful port streets, Recoleta's aristocratic grandeur, the jacaranda boulevards, and the smouldering soul of tango. The Paris of South America, with Latin warmth.

Couples fly to Paris for Belle Epoque grandeur and cobblestone romance.

The Paris of South America gives all of it, with Latin warmth and a fraction of the cost.

Buenos Aires is the most European city in the Americas, and one of the most romantic places on earth to elope.

La Boca and Recoleta

La Boca, the old immigrant port barrio, is the most vivid neighbourhood in the city: the famous Caminito, walls painted every colour, tango dancers on the corners. Recoleta is the opposite register, aristocratic grandeur, Belle Epoque mansions, and the leafy elegance of the Paris of South America.

The boulevards and the tango

The jacaranda-lined avenues bloom purple in spring, the grand boulevards and cafes carry the European elegance, and tango is on every corner, the smouldering soul of the city and a ceremony element unlike anywhere else.

The right place depends on what the photographs need to hold. As your Elopement Curator I plan the day, coordinate the symbolic ceremony and vendors, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, Buenos Aires is Europe with Latin warmth.
