Description
Who do we organise adventure weddings for?
Adventure weddings are for those who have always dreamt of something different, a wedding that˙s nothing like the ones they have been to before – an adventure wedding is for those who want to step out of the mold.
Adventure weddings are for those who love the mountains, and who want nature as a backdrop as opposed to a classic inside wedding venue. Our clients are fun and adventurous – adrenaline seekers, looking to change perceptions of what people have historically expected from weddings.
Where do we organise weddings?
A wedding in the mountains provides the perfect backdrop for your special day, and the photographs speak for themselves – Verbier is the ideal place for a destination wedding.
We prefer not to use classic wedding venues, but like to suggest our couples choose the most perfect venue of all, the one that Mother Nature gave us.
There are a number of stunning areas around Verbier that provide the perfect backdrop for your adventure wedding.
We help you choose where based on a number of factors such as how many guests you have, how fit or young they are to hike or climb, how you want your photos to look, but most importantly, by where you want your special ˙yes˙ moment to be.
How we make your arrival more ˙wow˙?
We like to ensure our couples arrive at their wedding in a style that suits their personalities. Perhaps you might like to fly in by parapente or helicopter, or arrive in style on skis, hike through nature, or be driven by dog sled etc.
When is the best time to get married in Verbier?
With over 300 days of sunshine a year in Verbier, Mother Nature delivers and we organise outside weddings in Verbier throughout the entire year, spring, summer, autumn or winter – snow and grass. We can also arrange a beautiful stretch tent to provide cover, should you need it.
Above & Beyond wedding planning:
We take care of everything for you, and go ˙Above and Beyond˙ for our clients right from the start of the planning stage up to the ˙yes moment˙. We have a fantastic team of chefs, waiting staff, hair stylists, photographers, videographers, we supply decorations, warm furs, firepits, snow tables, ice bars, marquees, jugglers, dancers,you name it, we can provide it.
We also organise accommodation for you and your guests, offering 5 star luxury chalets and alpine hotels; and can also arrange private jets, helicopters and private VIP airport transfers for you and your guests. A seamless experience from start to finish.
We love to organise ˙wow˙ moments for our couples, and these can involve Michelin star private chefs, flame jugglers, paragliding down into the wedding, arriving by dog sled, hog roasts and raclette machines, live band, or acoustic guitar, stunning marquees, alpine decorations, helicopters, and most importantly breathtaking views.
Going Above & Beyond:
We always like to go that extra step for our clients, so if there is something specific you want but don˙t think it exists, try us, we can deliver. Ashlee and Amir had always dreamt of a wedding on the summit of a mountain, but they also wanted to get married in front of a cross, so we had our carpenter build and engrave a special cross for them, which we then flew up to the summit of the mountain by helicopter. The cross now lives as a coffee table at their house in the US.
Whatever your style, we will work with the utmost discretion and organisation to ensure your day goes without a hitch.
In addition to wedding planning:
We also like to ensure that you and your guests enjoy your entire stay in Verbier, and can arrange a number of fun experiences and adventures year-round such as an adventure days out, ice climbing or white-water rafting, heliskiing, panoramique helicopter flights, Swiss chocolate making lessons, paraglide flights, and local cheese making at a laiterie.
Adventure weddings ooze fun and romance.
Please call us to talk through your dream day. It won’t disappoint.

Mr + Mrs. Young –
My wife and I cannot thank Sophie enough for all her hard work in making our Alpine wedding dreams come true.
From the very first phone conversation we knew Sophie was the wedding planner for us. Hard working, professional and attentive. No request was too demanding and the team were flawless on the day and we truly did have the best day of our lives.
Our wedding was more spectacular than we ever could have imagined and that’s all down to Sophie, she really did go above and beyond to create a magical day that we will remember forever.
We now count Sophie as our friend and are already planning our next party in the Alps!
Ashlee & Aamir Mahmood –
Words can not begin to descibe the impeccable and stunning originality of our Wedding Day by Above and Beyond Verbier!
Sophie and her team truly provided us an experience of a lifetime. We came from the United States and for several months prior to our wedding, Sophie got to know us with weekly calls making sure that no detail was missed. Her expertise allowed our vision to be brought to life and exceeded everything we could have ever imagined.
Not only was our special day absolutely breathtaking, she ensured our entire stay was filled with exceptional memories. From dogsledding and paragliding to building us a one of a kind Cross for the top of the mountain- we felt like part of the Verbier family from the moment we arrived!
We are so elated and grateful for the bespoke time that Above and Beyond Verbier created for us!!!
