They say that organizing a wedding is one of the hardest thing ever, and before leaving the whole experience I would agree but without really understanding the pressure, the stress and the high expectations. Well, all of that was gone when we met Stavriani and Anna. They took all the pressure, the stress and the fear of the unexpected away. They managed our expectations and everyone’s wishes with great kindness, amazing punctuality and great love towards what they do best: planning the most unforgettable day of your life!

Our beautiful day created by angels of Crete at Crete for Love!

First milestones of communication with Stavriani and it felt so natural and easy. She understood what we need and want from the first email. There was no looking back after then – Crete for Love it was!

Recalling the day, we can say for sure we were so lucky to come across Crete for Love, their work is truly special. We can’t imagine our wedding looking and feeling anything other than it was.

All vendors of Crete for Love are exceptional, we got the best service throughout.
Our venue – we were truly blessed to have this winery as our venue and the most amazing hosts!
The catering – five-star cuisine we could not believe how delicious everything was. We had some amazing guest comments regards food.

Florist work and decorations – beyond all expectations. All was composed and set marvelously. Watching the place transforming into this beautiful garden of heaven was so impressive, wonderful work of high professionals.
Photography and videography – It was our first professional photo-shoot experience and we were both a bit anxious, but it turned out to be enjoyable and fun thanks to Andreas and his team. At the end our photos and videos turned out to be wonderful, his work is very natural, reflecting true feelings and mood. A great capture of the moments to remember.

We trusted our organisers with everything, they are very confident in the work they do. We felt that it’s all under control, that everything is been looked after on the highest level, nothing is missed or forgotten. The year of panning was a joy for us, it never been a hassle or stressful etc thanks to Crete for Love.

Stavriani is a very friendly and kind person herself – its been a pleasure dealing with her day to day.

Thank you, Crete for Love. X

Naturally, planning a wedding from overseas, we were a little anxious. From the start Stavriani was incredibly helpful, attentive and completely put our minds at ease. From the initial emails, to our meeting out in Crete just before the wedding, every final detail had been thought and taken care of and somehow captured our exact taste. From the petal confetti, to the sparklers for the first dance, the day was full of the most romantic surprises. The day far exceeded our expectations – it was actually more than perfect. If we could do it all over again we would most definitely choose Crete for Love.

Thank you so much for making our day so special. All the personal touches and you interpreted exactly what we wanted.. Perfect beach wedding and villa party xx

The best. I love Stavriani and Anna, they handled almost everything for us and made wedding planning 10x’s easier! I completely trusted them and they didn’t disappoint. They are organized, communicate well, fun, smart and super helpful. We couldn’t have done it without them, our big day was perfect, thanks in large part to this incredible team who I now consider my friends.

Our wedding in September was wonderful, Stavriani picked a beautiful location for us and helped through all the details, throughout the wedding i got a sense that she knew exactly what she was doing. Crete for love provide an amazing service and I am grateful and would definitely recommend! Thank you so much!

But, let’s start from the beginning. My wife and I have been married for 2 years now, but as life plays, I found a new job starting 3 days after our wedding. Therefore, the party and honeymoon were postponed, so our basic idea was to combine both.
To be clear here, we were only looking for a beautiful party with our family and friends, with lots of food music and drinks! No ceremony, no church etc.
Our first idea was an island in Greece and we asked in our friends and family for contacts and got 1 1/2years before, a wedding planner ready, which ensured us that it will work out with the desired amount of people and the date.

Wondrous timing:
For your reference, we wanted to get married in October 2018. Our former wedding planner informed us at the end of FEBRUARY 2018, that they will not be able to organize the party and left us stranded.
So, our online search brought us to Crete for Love and after some research and reading reviews, we decided we’ll give them a try.
After a few shot emails, back and forth we quickly had an hour-long (free of charge!!) phone call where we got to know Anna, who from the beginning was listening AND asking the right questions and giving spot-on suggestions. She ensured us that for our idea there still would be sufficient time, but the timing would be tight. After the short time, my wife and I were ensured by Annas confident appearance and rough timing that Crete for Love had the experience and will to finish this challenging project.
Shortly after this, we collected our thoughts and basic ideas including food and drink choices Crete for love came with a range of choices where we quickly decided on the Botanical gardens near Chania. To be honest we had little time to do any more background research so we trusted Crete for love without hesitation.
Fast forward: Busses got organized, a menu was prepared, which only by reading was already tingling our taste buds. Hotel choices and wedding page providers were communicated. And they introduced us to Andreas Markakis (https://andreasmarkakis.com) who supplied us phenomenal photos! Our family and friends were quite excited and started booking.
Due to the tight schedule etc, around 50% of our former planning size diminished and my wife and were really afraid of the outcome.
First meeting in Chania 3 days prior to the party.
We met Anna at the venue! Arrived a little early and we were shocked…it was not only as we expected, but superseded our expectations by a magnitude! Normally we are very environmentally conscious but due to the limited time and the research time we were shocked how good Crete for love met our needs! We got a lot of emotional support from them too as a big part of the family canceled shortly before the party.
The Party: incredible, unbelievable, phenomenal, fantastic, elusive, astounding, beyond belief, marvellous, sublime. Everybody, really everybody and everyone was struck! It was the party of our dreams and the most important thing Anna and Straviani made it possible to prolong the party a little bit more even though we have discussed differently with the bus company and the venue!
With this we would like to conclude…it’s not only that there knew what we wanted, they even knew it before we even knew we wanted it! Guys seriously, if you want to get married in Greece, go to Crete and just have a talk with Crete for love!

We got married near Chania, in Crete and I can´t believe our luck, for finding Crete for love for arranging our Big Day! Stavriani and the team are absolutely the best, they understood us from the beginning and our co-operation and communication worked perfectly. Our wedding day turned out beyond excellent – looked like all went smoothly and easily, but I know, how much work and effort was behind all the details, so million thanks for that ❤

We strongly recommend Crete for love, if you want to enjoy your wedding day and all the planning process, without having to worry about anything (they even ordered us a perfect weather – so what more do you want :))

Million thanks and lots of love from Estonia!

Stavriani and Agie delivered an absolutely beautiful evening during my proposal to my girlfriend. I knew I wanted to propose in Greece but was not sure exactly where or how. After doing some research, I came across Crete For Love and got in touch with Stavriani to plan out the whole evening. She was so helpful in providing timely responses and setting up the evening exactly how I had wanted it. I ended up choosing the Secret Gardens as our location in Crete and it could not have been a more romantic setting for this special day. We drove up the beautiful country side of Crete and approached the location. I had explained to my girlfriend that we were simply going to a restaurant reservation and Stavriani was able to help keep the surprise right up until I got on one knee to propose.

Stavriani and Agie set up a beautiful table for two, in a stunning private setting, overlooking a Cretan valley. We were able to explore the gardens while Agie took some incredible photos of us. The food was delicious. The presentation was on par with a Michelin-star restaurant. It really felt like a dream come true. Everything truly exceeded all of my expectations. Tara and I would like to thank you and your team for creating a magical and intimate moment that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

As both of us are sailors, it naturally came to our mind to renew our vows on a boat and we found the perfectly safe and romantic harbour of Chania to do so.

We invited our family and friends from all over the world to witness our ceremony on the boat, enjoy an exquisite dinner on the harbour side and party with us in a charming bar.

The next day, we all enjoyed an amazing brunch on a beautiful beach location 30 minutes from Chania.

But these events could NOT have happened so smoothly and flawlessly without the outstanding support from Anna and her team @creteforlove and we cannot thank them enough for being responsive, full of excellent suggestions, flexible and extremely nice.

They certainly greatly contributed to making these two days memorable on all fronts! Thank you thank you!

Dear Stavriani & Anna,

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having made our vow renewal the incredible event that it was. From our first contact, we felt at ease and confident that you would create a memorable day matching our expectations.

With your professionalism, you made planning our special day unbelievably easy, fun and worry-free. You were able to understand who we really were and what we wanted this event to be. With this understanding of our family, you were able to anticipate our needs and provide us with guidance making decisions that would shape our event in a day we will cherish forever.

Your attention to details and the way you care for your clients allow you to go above and beyond what we expect from wedding planners. You not only were able to recreate what we had always dreamt our wedding to be but you even made it better! Having Andreas capture everything on film is only one example of that.

Saying «Thank You» does not do justice to all the gratitude we have towards all that you have done for us and our kids. We will cherish memories from that magical day forever. And part of those memories Anna & Stavriani will be remembered as our wedding fairies who covered us with their fairy dust and created this truly magical day.

Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and passion. We feel so fortunate that you shared our vow renewal with us.

Sincerely,

MJ & Jason

My experience with Crete for Love can be described in one word: perfection!

We had a private elopement ceremony and picnic on a beach just outside Chania. Everything was beautiful. From the wedding arch to the picnic set up, every part of the process exceeded our highest expectations.

We didn’t want to deal with the stress of planning a wedding, so we were relatively hands off. But even with very minimal input from us, the ceremony was incredible and fit our vision perfectly. Anna was very responsive, easy to work with, and made sure the wedding was unique and unforgettable. We also got our pictures back very quickly and they were equally amazing. I highly recommend the photographer!

Although I can’t confirm this, I’m also certain that Anna made sure our hotel went the extra mile for our wedding. I saw her chatting with the receptionist and low and behold we received wine, treats, and decorations in our room every night. The little details really made us feel at home even though our family wasn’t present.

I simply can’t recommend Anna enough. If you’re looking for a stress free, elegant wedding, she’s the woman to make it happen.
