Stepsis
the ritual of crowning
From the ancient years, the crowns were signs of Glory and Honor and until nowadays they remain the focal point of the Greek marriage ceremony, during which the wedding crowns are fitted upon the couple’s head joined by a white ribbon which symbolizes unity.
…and the two become one flesh
with Glory & Honor!

Crete: a dream wedding destination in Greece
Not only known for its rich history and traditions, but also for its wild natural beauty, exquisite cuisine, hospitable people, scenic landscapes and breathtaking sunsets, Crete is a truly unique wedding destination in Greece. In 2019, the island was voted the fourth best destination in the world according to the Travelers’ Choice Awards on TripAdvisor, based on the reviews of millions of travellers.
It is no surprise that Crete has become one of the most popular destinations for weddings in Greece. With its glorious beaches and impressive mountainscapes, fertile valleys and dramatic gorges, you can find exclusive wedding venues for every taste and preference. From modern venues to traditional Cretan properties, endless olive groves, sea view locations, wineries and luxurious beachfront houses, Crete offers a wide range of stunning settings to welcome you and your guests and to host your wedding ceremony and reception.
a wedding planner is one of the best gifts you can give yourselves for your wedding day
Getting married in Greece is definitely a magical experience and an opportunity for an unforgettable holiday both for you and your guests. When all the details of your special day are carefully handled by an experienced team of wedding professionals, that is what truly makes the difference and transforms your big day into an incredible event.
Let’s be honest. Planning your wedding may be a joyful and unique experience, but planning a wedding abroad – in a country you may have never visited before – can easily become stressful and risky. A professional wedding planner in Greece will be there for you at every step of the process: advising you on decoration, helping with the legal paperwork, suggesting and negotiating with the right venues and vendors, and making sure every single detail is in order so that the event exceeds your expectations.
A wedding planner knows the industry, builds relationships with trusted local vendors, understands the real cost of services and negotiates accordingly. If you are lucky enough to hire a professional planner, they will coordinate the entire event and manage all vendors in a structured, professional way, avoiding or solving any last-minute issues.
A beautiful wedding is not only about lovely decorations, flowers, candles and perfect tablescapes; it is much more than that. It is about predicting and preventing problems, taking care of all your loved ones who travel to Greece to be part of your big day, and offering them the best this country has to offer in terms of venues, food, music and services. Above all, a well-planned wedding allows you and your partner to truly enjoy the day to the fullest, leaving the stress and coordination to the professionals.
