Wedding in Greece

Wedding in Greece is an Athens based company that specialises in destination weddings for couples from abroad. It is a native Greek team that has worked for more than a decade, planning over 150 weddings with its main places of operation in Santorini, Mykonos and the Athens Riviera, and others throughout the country from Chalkidiki to Chania.

The company plans religious and civil ceremonies, including Orthodox, Catholic, Maronite, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh and Arab weddings, as well as same sex weddings, symbolic ceremonies and vow renewals. Each wedding is tailor made: it does not sell ready made packages, and couples see how the budget is allocated and can speak to suppliers directly.

The team includes planners alongside an experienced wedding photographer and a decorator, and it works with selected venues, florists, caterers and videographers. It states that it takes no commission from suppliers and never takes two weddings on the same day, so the planner assigned at the first consultation stays with the couple through to the wedding itself.

Practical help covers the legal paperwork and registry office, guest support and RSVP management, a timeline of the day, budget formulation and, if asked, travel and accommodation. The company publishes indicative costs for planning and for typical supplier services, which helps couples set a realistic budget before they begin.

Its venue work focuses on the Athens Riviera, with pages for private house, residence and seafront venues, Lake Vouliagmeni and the Four Seasons Astir Palace, alongside Santorini and Mykonos.

Amazing

We were traveling from Chicago in the USA to have our wedding in Athens. It’s an intimidating process planning a wedding from so far away...but luckily we found 'Wedding In Greece'! From the very outset John from Wedding In Greece were outstanding. They were always available to discuss anything, whether by phone, email or Skype. Whilst we didn't consider ourselves to be over the top with details regarding our wedding (hopefully!), it was clear that John and Anastasia were used to catering to clients with the highest of expectations. The service we received over our wedding weekend surpassed anything we could of imagined. My wife initially met John when she landed in Athens to review what we had asked to be put in place, and was blown away by the professionalism and attention to detail John and his team had provided. In addition, Wedding in Greece arranged our rehearsal dinner the night before the weeding, which was amazing. But unexpectedly, my mother and father became unwell, and John from Wedding in Greece, without asking, said he would drive my parents back to their hotel and make sure everything was fine. He truly went above and beyond to help us that night. The wedding day was amazing! John and Anastasia were there all day to make sure anything we needed was available to make sure we had the best day we possibly could.

Excellent

Thank you John and your wonderful team for creating the wedding of our dreams! You made every wish come true, through your meticulousness and your wonderful execution of every detail. For an entire year, John corresponded with me via email and Skype. He was extremely responsive, always available to make sure every single detail is taken care of. Because of his excellent organization skills for an entire year, the day of our wedding was seamless. He delivered superb quality and he made our experience so memorable. Everyone spoke very highly of our wedding, and if it weren’t for John and his incredible dream, we wouldn’t have had such a wonderful experience. Do not hesitate to go with him, you won’t regret it!”

Beautiful

John of Wedding in Greece is simply AMAZING! We have been working with him and his company for nearly two years and have received exceptional service. They helped us plan and deliver a catamaran party, pre-wedding henna party, an Indian wedding AND a civil wedding and reception on the beautiful island of Santorini. From day one, John was extremely professional, quick to respond to messages and had brilliant recommendations and ideas. We would not have been able to do it without him and his team. He has excellent contacts and suppliers, all of whom are equally professional and dedicated. I cannot recommend Wedding in Greece enough! Thank you SOOOO much John, we really, really appreciate everything you did for us and making our dreams a reality. Thank you!
