“I couldn’t find a single resource that covered everything. One blog had venues but skipped legals. Another covered traditions with no practical advice. I planned our wedding in Crete and wrote the guides I never found. This is all of them together.”

What couples planning their
Greek wedding kept telling us
“Nobody would give us real numbers. Every planner we spoke to said ‘it depends.’ I just needed someone to tell me what things actually cost so I could make a decision without flying blind for six months.”
🇦🇺 Couple planning a Crete wedding, Melbourne, Australia
“We spent weeks looking at venues online before realising we had no idea what questions to ask. We didn’t know about the midnight music curfews. We didn’t know to ask about weather backup plans. We would have booked somewhere completely unsuitable.”
🇬🇧 Couple planning a Santorini wedding, Edinburgh, UK
“The paperwork completely blindsided us. We had no idea there were different document requirements depending on whether the ceremony was legally recognized at home. We found out three months before our date.”
🇨🇦 Couple planning a Mykonos wedding, Toronto, Canada
“We got burned by a vendor early on. No one told us what a reliable vendor looked like versus one that would ghost you after the deposit. By the time we figured it out, we had lost money and three months.”
🇺🇸 Couple planning a Rhodes wedding, Boston, USA
“Managing guests flying in from three different countries was keeping me awake. I had no framework for any of it: arrival times, transfers, accommodation tiers, how to communicate without sounding like a travel agent.”
🇬🇧 Couple planning a Crete wedding, London, UK
“We chose our island based on Pinterest. When we started talking to planners we realised we hadn’t considered logistics for guests flying in, or what the shoulder season actually means for availability. It would have saved us months to have compared the islands properly first.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included?
Three digital products: the Greek Wedding Venue Vetting Guide (31 pages + Google Sheets comparison tool), the Real Greek Wedding Budget Kit (29 pages + 5-sheet Google Sheets planner), and the Complete Guide to Planning a Greek Destination Wedding (100+ pages, 16 chapters). All three delivered immediately after purchase.
How do I access everything?
You’ll receive an email with instructions for each product. The two Google Sheets tools include a link to copy the template to your own Drive. Everything is yours to keep, annotate, and use across your whole planning period.
Is this specific to one island?
The venue questions, budget framework, VAT guidance, and legal chapter apply anywhere in Greece. The Complete Guide includes specific depth on Crete, where our wedding took place, plus honest comparisons of Santorini, Mykonos, and other destinations. The budget spreadsheet lets you adjust for location. Santorini and Mykonos typically run 15-25% higher than Crete.
We’ve just got engaged. Is it too early?
It’s the best time. The legal chapter has timelines that most couples only discover when they’re already running late. Starting with the full picture means you make better decisions from day one: on venue shortlisting, budget-setting, and planning order.
We’ve already started planning. Is it still useful?
Yes. The venue guide is still valuable for vendor conversations and final contract negotiations. The budget kit is useful right up to your final invoice. The Complete Guide has chapters on guest experience, traditions, and crisis management that are relevant at any stage.
Do I need all three, or should I buy separately?
If you’re planning a Greek destination wedding from scratch, you’ll use all three at different stages. The venue guide comes first, before you sign anything. The budget kit runs alongside your whole planning process. The Complete Guide covers everything else. Buying together saves you 25% and means you have everything ready when you need it.
