Before I begin this review, please note that WE ELOPED in BALOS, CRETE. We arranged everything with CFL via email 5000+ miles or 8000+ Km away. To anyone who is or if you are considering a wedding in Crete, please don’t hesitate to choose Crete For Love. They made our elopement more memorable! THEY WENT BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS! from designs that I sent via email to the timeline of our ceremony which we were very specific about! We wanted a sunset wedding and man, THEY nailed it. Andreas- the man behind the photos, gave his best shot to provide the BEST photos. We are both in love with our photos and 10000000% satisfied with how CFL executed the entire thing! Thank you guys, (ANA, Andreas, Stavriani and the whole CRETE FOR LOVE TEAM) We awe our most memorable day to you guys!

The services Crete for love have created can not be describe within any words. With our wedding consisting of 4 big different cultures, Crete for love ensures our wedding day for something to never forget. From their planning to ideas, and ensuring we stay stress free, the day was perfect thanks to Crete for love. From the moment we met with Crete for love we knew we made the right choice, and that our day would be the dream we always have wanted thanks to them. Thank you for the services while we were in Crete and creating our special moment.

Elena & Olimpiu

We want to thank Stavriani, Anna and Andreas for organizing these magic moments for us & our guests: pre-wedding dinner, bachelorette party, wedding ceremony and wedding dinner. Words cannot describe the magic that was in the air at our Pre-Wedding dinner, everything was magnificent. Our guests remember this like one of the most significant memory in their life. What is different about Crete for Love is the fact that they work on making your wedding different from the others. They encourage you and propose decors different that what you saw in their portfolio, making your event 100% unique, according to you vibe. They know how to create MAGIC! Andreas is the best photographer you can have: you don’t see him, you don’t feel his presence, but he captures everything! I have pictures looking at the camera that I don’t remember taking! That’s his gift! People looking at the pictures said: wow, you had such a good photographer! And I said: there was even more magical than what you see in the pictures!

Sintija & Joe

Crete for Love team was very friendly and kind, we were able to communicate with them easily. The most important thing was that there were no disappointments at the wedding day, everything went just as we planned and even better. They were able to advise us with whom we shall collaborate (photographer, florist, DJ, band…), we realized that they are collaborating with skilled and professional service providers. We thank the staff of Crete for Love, and we wish them all the best for the future success.

Kat & Joe

Words cannot express our gratitude towards Anna, Andreas, and the entire Crete for Love Team for creating such a magical day for us! Everyone went above and beyond to accommodate us and paid immaculate attention to every detail. We also appreciated their kindness and hospitality in their town of Chania.

Planning an elopement across an ocean seemed daunting until we contacted Crete for Love. Anna immediately replied to us (while on her vacation) and I instantly knew we had found the right people! Throughout the months prior, everyone was very easy to reach and communicate with. I felt completely confident arriving in another country that everything would be taken care of. However, I was surprised that they surpassed my expectations when we arrived.

Our special day was stress-free and we enjoyed every moment. We are so appreciative! We recommend them to anyone and everyone! ❤️

Hayley & Simon

Anna was simply fantastic throughout the whole process of composing our dream wedding. Her communication was always professional and on the actual day we felt she excelled in delivering the wedding experience we had entrusted her to fulfil.

All in all, both Anna and her services, including the photographer she arranged for us, were worth their weight in gold in our eyes.

We both thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hayley & Bryan

We always knew we didn’t want to get married in the UK, & with Crete’s sunny weather we searched the internet for wedding planners to see if it would be the place for us.

We had the best response from Anna who advised she could help plan a beach ceremony & suggested the Gardens for the reception. We’d never been before & put our complete faith in her after reading all the great comments from other couples & reading about the gardens…..This was the best decision ever! The day was incredible & some guests even commented saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to 🥰 I had made Pinterest boards for Anna to view during thr build up to the wedding & she couldn’t have created my vision any more perfectly!

Anna & her team, including her Husband Andreas who was our photographer, worked so hard & completely put us at ease with their friendliness and professionalism. We will never forget your kindness.

Thank you for the best day ever!…. From ourselves, our families & our friends ❤️

Jacqueline & Adam

The minute we met Crete for Love we knew they had to be our wedding planners! Their professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. They really took the time to listen to what we wanted and get to know us as a couple. Their ideas and recommendations were unique to us – they don’t just do the same thing for every couple.

Planning a wedding in Crete from the UK (and a pre wedding party!) could have been difficult but there’s constant communication and updates – every little question and query you have is answered. They use their expert knowledge to guide you along the way with suggestions and recommendations which is so helpful; but every choice is your own. On our pre wedding trips to Crete they visited venues and suppliers again with us to ensure all the details were correct and we were 100% happy. We got to know Anna very well over our planning year! 🙂

On the pre wedding party and the wedding day itself they had absolutely everything covered so myself and my husband could just relax and enjoy being with our friends and family. I couldn’t believe the amount of effort they put in! Since meeting in Crete 11 years ago we’d always dreamed of having a big Greek wedding and Crete for Love really did make our dreams come true! They helped us turn our vision into a beautiful reality! Our guests commented it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that wouldn’t have been possible without Crete for Love!

If you’re looking for planners with the perfect balance of professionalism but genuine care then look no further! We honestly cannot thank them enough x

Anna & Laurent

Anna

Stavriani and the rest of the team were very responsive to our requests. Planning a wedding in Crete with guests from all over the world (Australia, Malaysia, Belgium to name a few) was a complicated task but they made our day feel like a walk in the park! Their attention to detail and patience was outstanding.

Laurent

Crete for love is amazing. Working with them was a pleasure.
Stavriani was very professional, she helped us during all the preparation with a keen attention to details. The contact during the preparation was great, She had great ideas and could help us with what we really wanted.
We had a great time during the wedding, we felt very special.

Antje & Chris

Crete for Love has made our wedding an unforgettable and wonderful event. The communication, planning and all the details were simply fantastic! We recommend the Crete for Love team to anyone who wants a dream wedding. A big big thank you to Crete for Love; you are amazing!

Monika & Domas

Amazing!

We had our wedding in Chania, Crete and that was the most incredible experience for us and our family. We had a small beach wedding but it felt like a fairytale! ❤️ Huge thanks for our head planner Stavriani, who was here for us 24/7, everything was so well organised and stress-free! Not only ceremony but also our holidays! So happy that we have chosen Crete for Love – good, warm, friendly but professional people! Highly recommended❣️

Joanna & Andrew

CFL were just fabulous. They agreed to help us fairly late in the day when we thought we had arranged the venue. The team ended up going way over and above their brief and fixing so many issues for us, including sourcing an alternative venue when our initial one dropped out – as well as foreseeing issues we didn’t even consider!

I would thoroughly recommend using a wedding planner (in case you are in doubt) and specifically using Stavriani and her team at CFL. They really made our wedding day better than we could have hoped for and ensured that it was delivered on budget. They have excellent supplier contracts (we used their lighting, flowers, decorators, caterers and fireworks suppliers) they all far exceeded exceptions. If you are unsure whether it is worth it, then I can wholeheartedly say CFL were completely worth it and the best decision we made throughout the whole process! Our wedding was in a remote Cretan location (everything had to come in on a boat) and we had 120 guests and they managed it perfectly.

Remember: a good bar is about quality drinks but also a part of styling your event! 
Rosemary, lemon and lavender are a few flavors that my friends recommend for the Mediterranean twist at your not only in Greece party! 🍋Do you agree?  For the whole interview follow the link

One of the most fascinating advantages of being an event and wedding planner is to often meet new people and vendors who contribute to our vision, change our perspective and teach us how to always reinvent and think modern way! 
Meeting Snezana and Stavros from @mastiqgin.com_ was one of those experiences! Owners of contemporary bar in Germany serving cocktails based on gin they produce themselves, they joined me this spring to chat about bar importance, drinks that match occasion, few mistakes to avoid and why bar presence makes each event more elegant and relaxing! 
Bar is an eye catcher and centre of the social gathering remember!  Filmed and edited by @andreas_markakis  For full interview check here:
