The idea came to him when he opened the small velvet jewellery box and put the ring in her hand. Α marriage proposal and a destination wedding in Greece, where they first met on a distant summer night. What a surprise! 

She said, "I do", overwhelmed in tears of happiness. They were holding firm in a long tight hug, lapsed in each other arms. "How wonderful is he?" she thought, and all the memories of their first summer as a couple popped into her mind. All the places they visited in Athens, the beauty of the Greek Islands, nature's splendour, and hospitality. 

Soon enough, the reflecting memories were replaced by the challenging anticipation for the essential preparations. She started prioritizing everything she had to arrange for everything to be set up the way she envisioned the unique moment of their wedding.

She, him and in the background the endless blue. The first she did was to come up with the number of guests. A close circle of a few relatives and several good friends were the ideal recipe. Then the place. It should definitely be somewhere with an operating airport and within a short flight distance from the UK. Athens, Mykonos and Santorini could be excellent choices regarding that. And then? Where would they accommodate?

A Greek wedding planner with an established network of collaborators with deep knowledge of the Greek market and customs, ensuring they would enjoy every minute of their wedding celebration. 

Wedding Planning in Greece

The wedding planner gave them all the possible options to consider. They suggested several wedding venues, events, and excursions that the couple could organize for their guests. The beautiful island of Santorini and the extravagant Mykonos was two of their desirable choices. Still, the accurate reasoning of the wedding planner about the advantages of the Athenian Riviera gave them a new, bright-shine perspective.
