1. Be Flexible With Your Wedding Date

Having some flexibility in the day and date when you get married allows us to negotiate better with hotel and venue owners and obtain better prices. The wedding season is limited out of necessity and there are days which are particularly popular, like Saturdays and Sundays. A mid-week wedding can, at times, bring costs down without compromising the quality of the service.

2. Scout Locations And Draw Up A Short List

Whether you go for a Greek island wedding or choose to play it safe and go for a mainland setting the requirements are the same. You want the location to be part of the props.

3. Set A Budget And Stick To It

The biggest issue by far on weddings in Greece for foreign brides is the escalating cost when unforeseen details crop up. We help you manage your budget better. Our knowledge of local conditions and our long time expertise in dealing with hotels, restaurants and venues allows us to suggest where critical choices can be made that will save money and retain the local color.

In one wedding in Santorini for instance we were able to save a lot by skipping the full bar that was getting to be out of hand and stocking it with local wine and beer. It more than halved the cost, increased the local flavor (pun intended) and made the wedding guests feel that they were, suddenly, at a proper Greek wedding.
