For Couples Who Choose the Extraordinary
For international couples who want their most meaningful moments to feel personal, adventurous, and completely unlike anything traditional, we design celebrations shaped by landscape, movement, and atmosphere.
Proposals, elopements, honeymoons, vow renewals, and milestone celebrations — crafted with intention, delivered with precision, and grounded in deep local knowledge across Switzerland, Italy, and beyond.
Created by Above & Beyond Sàrl, Verbier.
Where Love Chooses the Extraordinary
Propose.Marry.Celebrate is the new celebration arm of Above & Beyond — created for international couples who want their most meaningful moments to feel personal, adventurous, and completely unlike anything traditional or expected.
For the past ten years, Above & Beyond has been based in Verbier, designing Bond‑style alpine experiences: helicopters to remote glaciers, dog‑sled journeys, paragliding from snowy ridges, champagne on mountaintops, fur‑lined snow picnics, and gastronomy at altitude. These weren’t activities; they were cinematic, movement‑led moments that shaped how we work.
As the years went on, couples from the US, UK, Asia, Dubai, and beyond began asking us to design their proposals, elopements, honeymoons, vow renewals, and milestone celebrations — first in the Alps, then across Switzerland, and eventually over the border into Italy. What started in the mountains naturally expanded into stone streets, vineyard hills, lakes, coastlines, and historic cities.
Propose.Marry.Celebrate exists because that evolution needed its own home. A dedicated brand for couples who want celebrations that feel intentional, intimate, and shaped by landscape, atmosphere, and shared experience — not by tradition or formula.
We bring the precision of Switzerland, the warmth and culture of Italy, and the clarity of experienced planning to celebrations that move between worlds. Whether you’re planning from New York, London, Singapore, Dubai, or anywhere else, we make the process structured, calm, and effortless.
Proposals, elopements, honeymoons, vow renewals and anniversaries across Italy and Switzerland — brought to life by Above & Beyond Sarl.
For Couples Who Want Something Different
Most of the couples we work with aren’t looking for a traditional format — not for a proposal, an elopement, a honeymoon, a vow renewal, or an anniversary. They want something personal, atmospheric, and shaped by the places they move through.
Some imagine a helicopter landing on a glacier. Some picture a quiet moment in a medieval courtyard. Some want vineyards, lakes, coastlines, or the buzz of a historic city. Many want a journey that moves between worlds — a celebration with momentum, contrast, and depth.
Our role is to take that instinct and turn it into an experience that feels intentional, elevated, and entirely your own.
Worlds We Create In
Landscapes as themes — not limits
Our work is shaped by landscapes — from snowy glaciers and high‑alpine summer peaks to ancient stone cities, vineyard hills, quiet coastlines, serene lakes, and historic castles. These worlds aren’t boundaries or fixed locations; they’re themes that guide how we design celebrations with a strong sense of place, wherever your story leads.
INTIMATE ELOPEMENT WEDDING CEREMONIES
Snow & Altitude
Glaciers, alpine peaks, winter wilderness
This is where our story began — on glaciers, ridgelines, and high‑mountain terrain reached by helicopter, on skis, by paraglider, or on foot. A world defined by altitude, action, and cinematic scale.
Moments here might include:
-
helicopter landings on remote snowfields
-
skiing down together after your proposal
-
paragliding from a ridge
-
dog‑sledding across winter valleys
-
heli‑hiking to panoramic viewpoints

architectural drama
-
textured backdrops
-
warm light
-
places with a strong sense of story
INTIMATE ELOPEMENT WEDDING CEREMONIES

-
private wine tastings

chef’s table dinners in small osterias

Coastlines & Light
Quiet coves, islands, cliffside paths
A world defined by salt air, warm light, and the rhythm of the sea. From rugged coastlines to sheltered bays, these places offer intimacy and contrast to the mountains.
Moments here might include:
-
private boat journeys to hidden beaches
-
cliffside terraces overlooking the water
-
sunrise ceremonies on quiet paths

long evenings outdoors
Lakes & Castles
Still water, alpine horizons, historic fortresses
A world of calm, reflection, and quiet grandeur. Lakes offer stillness and space; castles bring history, structure, and a sense of timelessness.
Moments here might include:
-
lakeside ceremonies at golden hour
-
private boat crossings
-
intimate dinners in historic halls
-
terraces overlooking water and mountains
-
castle courtyards lit for evening celebrations
Movement Between Worlds
Some celebrations unfold in a single landscape. Others move between worlds — from snow and stone to vineyards, coastlines, lakes, and the buzz of a historic city. It’s the contrast between these atmospheres that creates a sense of momentum and scale.
A helicopter landing on a glacier. A ski descent into a mountain village. Dinner in a vineyard at dusk. Sunrise on the coast. A quiet pause beside a lake. The energy of a historic city at night.
It’s not about specific destinations — it’s about the shift in feeling as one world leads into the next.
Precision, Clarity, and Deep Local Knowledge
We work with a limited number of couples each year, offering a level of organisation, clarity, and personal attention that is rare in destination planning. We bridge languages, cultures, and local systems across Switzerland and Italy, bringing everything together into one seamless, structured experience.
This is not romance as usual. This is thoughtful, landscape‑led celebration design.
Cinematic Proposals Across Switzerland & Italy
A proposal is a moment of courage — a decision to step into the future together. It deserves a setting that feels intentional, atmospheric, and completely personal to the two of you.
Our proposal experiences are shaped by landscape and movement: helicopter landings on remote glaciers, skiing down after you ask the question, paragliding from a snowy ridge, wandering through ancient stone streets at dusk, or arriving by boat to a quiet lakeside terrace.
Some couples want altitude and adrenaline. Some want stillness and privacy. Some want a journey that moves between worlds.
We design proposals that feel grounded in place, beautifully considered, and effortless to experience — whether you’re planning from New York, London, Singapore, Dubai, or anywhere else.
Every detail is handled with precision and discretion, so the moment itself can unfold naturally.
Elopements for couples who choose intimacy, atmosphere, and the wild
An elopement isn’t a smaller wedding — it’s a different kind of moment entirely. A space for stillness, intention, and connection. A day shaped by the landscape you move through and the experience you want to share.
Some couples exchange vows on a glacier at sunrise. Some choose a medieval courtyard at dusk. Some walk through vineyards, along cliffside paths, or beside a quiet lake. Some move between worlds — altitude, stone, water, light.
We design elopements that feel cinematic and deeply personal, with locations chosen for their privacy, atmosphere, and emotional weight. No templates. No staged poses. No expectations. Just a day that feels like the two of you.
We handle the logistics, the planning, the permissions, the timing, and the flow — so you can stay present in the moment.
Honeymoons Shaped by Landscape, Movement and Emotion
A honeymoon should feel like the beginning of something — a journey that unfolds through the places you move through and the moments you share.
We design honeymoons that carry the same cinematic, movement‑led energy as our proposals and elopements: glacier mornings, vineyard afternoons, coastal sunsets, lakeside stillness, and the buzz of historic cities at night.
Some couples want adventure. Some want culture and gastronomy. Some want quiet, sensory days. Many want a progression — altitude to warmth, stone to water, stillness to light.
Your honeymoon might include heli‑hiking, e‑biking through vineyards, private wine tastings, cliffside dinners, boat journeys to hidden coves, or wandering through ancient streets with no fixed agenda.
We bring Swiss precision, Italian warmth, and a decade of experience to create a journey that feels effortless, intentional, and entirely your own.
Vow renewals -a moment to return, reflect, and choose each other again
A vow renewal isn’t a re‑wedding — it’s a moment to pause, look at the life you’ve built together, and choose each other again in a way that feels personal, intimate, and completely your own.
Some couples return to the mountains where everything began. Some choose a new landscape — a glacier at sunrise, a vineyard at dusk, a lakeside terrace, a quiet courtyard, or a cliffside path above the sea. Some move between worlds, letting the day unfold through altitude, stone, water, and light.
We design vow renewals that feel cinematic and grounded in place, with locations chosen for their atmosphere, privacy, and emotional weight. No audience. No expectations. No choreography. Just a moment that belongs to the two of you.
Whether you’re travelling from the US, UK, Asia, Dubai, or elsewhere, we bring clarity, structure, and calm to the planning — so the experience feels effortless from the first conversation to the final moment.
Anniversaries & Milestone Celebrations – Moments that deserve a setting as extraordinary as the story behind them
Anniversaries and milestone moments take on a different energy when they’re shaped by landscape and movement — whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of the people you choose.
Some couples want a private celebration: a helicopter to a mountain refuge, a vineyard dinner at golden hour, a lakeside terrace with the Alps reflected in the water, or a quiet coastal path leading to a table overlooking the sea.
Others prefer to share the moment with a few of their closest people — an intimate gathering in a historic courtyard, a long table in a vineyard estate, or a private chalet in the mountains.
Wherever you’re travelling from, we create celebrations that feel effortless, atmospheric, and deeply connected to place. Every detail is handled with precision, discretion, and the calm of experienced planning.
