What couples planning their
Greek wedding told 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.”

“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.”

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Couple planning a Mykonos wedding, Toronto, Canada

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

I’m Christina

I planned my own destination wedding in Crete from abroad, made the mistakes that these guides now help you avoid, and spent two years talking to couples and building the resources I wished had existed. Everything here comes from real experience; mine and the couples who went through the same thing before you.

By your side, for your big day,

Christina
