whatever you choose, it’s going to be perfect
civil wedding
It is a short, simple ceremony performed by the mayor of the nearest town hall to your wedding location. A civil wedding ceremony in Crete usually lasts about ten minutes and can take place either indoors or outdoors in authorised locations. Each couple can personalise the ceremony by exchanging their own vows or inviting friends and family to do a special reading. The marriage certificate is legally binding worldwide. The formality and style of the ceremony depend entirely on the couple’s tastes, so your civil wedding in Crete can be as relaxed or as formal as you wish.
symbolic wedding
It is a meaningful ceremony performed by a non-official wedding celebrant. The beauty of a symbolic wedding in Greece lies in its flexibility and the endless choices it offers to express your personality, values and love story. Since it has no legal validity under Greek law and requires no documentation or licence, it can take place in any location you prefer in Crete – exactly as you have imagined it. From a romantic deserted beach or a breathtaking private spot to a luxurious villa, your symbolic wedding can be truly unique and deeply personal.
religious wedding
In a religious wedding, the couple is united under the eyes and love of God. Each religion has its own unique customs and celebrations, and whether you are Orthodox, Catholic, Jewish or Hindu, there are many special ways to hold a religious wedding ceremony in Greece.

vow’s renewal
The renewal of vows ceremony is a symbolic celebration for couples who are already married and wish to renew their promises and reaffirm their love by saying “yes, I still do”. No legal documents are required and the ceremony can be an intimate, emotional moment just for the two of you or shared with your closest family and friends. Your renewal of vows in Crete can take place at any location you prefer and can be as simple or as full of services and special touches as you wish.
