Our wedding day really was beyond perfection! My other half and I had a very clear picture of how we wanted the day to look, feel etc and Stavriani and Ana definitely helped us achieve that. Every little detail was considered and I only wish we could do it all again!
My brides, my constant source of inspirations!

Starting your wedding day preps on the right foot, it is a key to the relaxed and confident execution of your wedding day!
Make sure you enjoy and capture those moments leading you to the peak of a day planned for so many months. Don’t let anyone take you off the track and rush you out of your beauty routines, bubbles and free time to walk around and pose as a bride to be🩷

Diana & Wim!
What a story to get inspired!
You could write a book but instead just listen to their vows…
Two Belgians living on the small island of Gozo landed in Chania to celebrate their love with jazz, Greek dancers, Greek food, all dressed in the pastel colours of Mediterranean summer🟠🟡⚪️🔵

It always comes with deep emotions when I look back at my couples’ weddings.
Monika and Nicolas marriage was not an exception!
Two young doctors of a Polish background, building their lives and careers in Belgium, touched my ❤️ with their strong bond, common understanding and modesty.
What started as a spiritual Catholic Church ceremony led to the elegant party at the private Estate overlooking White Mountains of Crete.
Let this July love story unveil!

✨ A dreamy day filled with love and thoughtful details! After the heartfelt ceremony, guests indulged in colorful Greek-Spanish hors d’oeuvres and savored traditional Greek sweets while capturing memories with Polaroids at the guest book table. As the sun set, dancing shoes were ready to keep the celebration going all night! 💃✨ The minimalist decor of white flowers, soft candles, and personalized stationery beautifully tied everything together. 🥂❤️ Wedding details, guest favors, and flowers were essential in creating a memorable celebration!

After a long journey and years of separate paths after their prom together, Samantha and Stefan finally found each other at this right and final school reunion when they decided never let go. ❤️ They traveled all the way from USA to make their dream of an intimate elopement come true on the beautiful shores of Crete. 🏝️
As Cretan music played softly in the background, they shared a special moment cutting the handmade, artfully decorated gamokoulouro — a traditional Greek wedding bread symbolizing unity and prosperity. 🍞🎶
And just when we thought the day couldn’t be more memorable, a man walked by after the ceremony with two black dogs at his side… or so we thought! At second glance, we realized it was a dog and a sheep! 🐕🐑 This unexpected twist brought laughter and surprise to the occasion, making the day even more unforgettable. 😄💫
The Hellenic inspired day ended for our couple at the local fish tavern at one of the most historical and charming locations for the romantic dinner.

I remember calling Katie 2 hours before the ceremony telling her we need to change the location as it has been raining cats and dogs! I got as answer a happy Ok, I trust you😍
One of the reasons to have a local planner that can put together plan B and pull the strings of local connections that come with many years of business friendships!
So although Katie and Josh’s elopement day started with a rainstorm, it turned into a beautiful, cozy celebration in the most unexpected setting — a charming winery surrounded by barrels🍷🌧️
What began as a rainy morning blossomed into a perfect, intimate day filled with wine and love. 🎶🤘 The beat of their favorite rock tunes echoed through the winery as Katie and Josh eloped, infusing their special day with fun and vibrant energy. 🎸✨
When the day cleared out, we were still able to return to the initially chosen impressive stone Amphitheater for family and romantic portraits. The moments were restored!
Sometimes, the best stories are the ones that need to be rewritten!

Choosing a destination wedding comes with commitment to greet your guests offering an experience of unique events before and after the main day of celebration.
Here is a sneak peek of a delightful evening before the big day! 🌟
Vasi and Luana’s guests and families enjoyed a warm meet and greet, mouthwatering seafood, and spicy margaritas, alongside other cocktails at the elegant seaside location. 🍹🍽️
It was the perfect way to connect and savor the moments leading up to the wedding! 💫
