Weddings in Corfu
Corfu offers a distinctive setting for weddings, with Venetian architecture, olive groves and beautiful coastlines overlooking the Ionian Sea. Celebrations take place in historic villas, elegant country estates, landscaped gardens and selected waterfront venues, where traditional architecture and Mediterranean scenery create an intimate atmosphere.
Corfu Town is celebrated for its UNESCO-listed historic centre, with elegant arcades, pastel coloured buildings and imposing Venetian fortresses. Beyond the capital, the island reveals traditional villages, wooded hillsides and sheltered bays, from the dramatic coastline around Paleokastritsa to the quieter landscapes of the northeast. Historic estates and olive groves reflect centuries of island life, while the surrounding waters bring a beautiful coastal character. Corfu combines Greek island traditions with a rich architectural heritage shaped by its Venetian past.

Questions couples ask
Marrying in Corfu
Short answers from what the venues have told us.
Why does Corfu suit UK couples?
The island was a British protectorate for 50 years, which gives it a familiarity for UK guests. Flight links are strong, and English-speaking suppliers are widely available.
What sets an olive grove estate apart?
Ancient olive trees give shade, dappled light and the sound of cicadas. Groves are dense and cool in a way open terraces and clifftop villas are not.
Where did Lawrence Durrell live on Corfu?
In the White House in Kalami Bay, from 1937 to 1939, where he wrote Prospero's Cell. It is available as a holiday rental, and the bay forms part of the backdrop for weddings nearby.
When is the best time of year for a Corfu wedding?
June brings the fullest green and wildflowers. September gives warm weather, the warmest sea and fewer people. October is workable.
Can the UNESCO old town of Corfu be used for a wedding?
Yes, with planning. Ceremonies in the lanes or squares need permits and a specialist local planner, and catering and arrivals need specific arrangements because most of the old town is pedestrian only.
How does Corfu compare with Santorini or Mykonos?
Corfu is greener, less crowded and more varied in architecture, with a Mediterranean-Venetian character rather than a purely Aegean one. It suits couples whose guests are mostly UK-based.
