Absolutely. In fact, that is a lovely place to begin. Tell me how you want to feel: relaxed, joyful, surrounded by your favourite people, or simply close to each other. From there, I help you choose the setting, the style and the rhythm of the day. You don’t need to arrive with a finished plan. We can create it together.
If you are unsure where to begin, start with your wedding planner. I help you clarify your priorities, explore suitable locations and understand how the choices fit together before you commit to bookings. Once we have a direction, we can decide which venue and suppliers to secure first.
As soon as you decide that Crete is where you would love to get married. You don’t need to have a venue, an exact guest count or every detail worked out. Starting earlier gives us more choice and time to enjoy the planning together. If your date is already close, get in touch and we can explore what is possible.
Yes. Crete already offers so much beauty: an olive grove with fairy lights, a cliff overlooking the sea, or a simple ceremony on the beach. We don’t always need to add more. I help you make thoughtful choices within your budget, focusing on what matters most to you and letting the setting do some of the decorating.
Yes. You may want support with the whole wedding, a few particular arrangements or coordination on the day. Tell me what you have already organised and where you would like help. We will agree on the support you need and who is responsible for each part, so everything comes together clearly.
Yes, it can still be possible. We will need to make decisions promptly and work with the venues and professionals available for your dates. Tell me what you have already arranged and what matters most to you. From there, I can help you build a realistic plan and bring the details together.
The right place is the one that suits the day you imagine. It might be a little chapel by the sea, an olive grove, a private villa or a beach. I listen to your ideas and suggest places that fit your style, guest numbers and budget. We also consider the practical details, so the setting works beautifully for both you and your guests.
I organise civil and religious weddings, as well as symbolic ceremonies and vow renewals. I have experience with Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant weddings. Depending on the ceremony you choose, I guide you through the documents and arrangements, so you understand each step and feel supported throughout the process.
Yes, and that is one of my favourite parts. For a symbolic ceremony, I send you a questionnaire to get to know your story, your personalities and what you love about each other. Your answers become the starting point for a personal ceremony text. You can read it beforehand and make changes, so the words feel like yours. The ceremony can be in English or another language by arrangement.
Absolutely. If being together is what matters most to you, you don’t need a larger celebration to make the day meaningful. We can create a personal ceremony, choose a beautiful setting and leave time for photographs, a lovely dinner or an experience you both enjoy. The day can be as quiet, playful or adventurous as you are.
Yes. You might choose a ceremony by the sea followed by dinner in an olive grove, a restaurant or a private venue. I help plan the journey between the two, including transfers and a welcome for your guests on arrival. While you take time for photographs together, I coordinate the arrangements for your guests.
You could celebrate in a traditional Cretan taverna, a restaurant, a private venue with catering or a villa with a private chef. The right choice depends on your guest numbers, budget and the atmosphere you would like. I help you explore the options and bring the food, setting and practical arrangements together.
We create it together. You can share colours, photographs, favourite flowers or simply an atmosphere you love. I develop ideas around your preferences, your budget and the character of the venue. You don’t need to know the name of a style or have a collection of inspiration pictures. A conversation is enough to begin.
Of course. If you already have a photographer, musician or another professional you would love to work with, they are welcome. I coordinate with your chosen suppliers, bring everyone into the wedding timeline and take care of the practical details, so you can enjoy the day.
Yes. I can help you explore accommodation options and arrange transfers for you and your guests, including transport between the ceremony and the reception. Whether you need help with the whole celebration or just a few arrangements, we can decide together what would make things easier for everyone.
Children can be a lovely part of the celebration, including taking a small role in the ceremony if they would enjoy it. Depending on their ages, we can arrange activities, an entertainer or a babysitter. We also consider the timing and setting, so younger guests feel included and their parents have time to enjoy the day.
I would love that. Pets bring so much personality and honest emotion to a celebration. We will check the venue’s policy and plan a role that suits your pet, whether that means joining the ceremony or simply being in your photographs. We will also think about their comfort and who can look after them while you celebrate.
An outdoor wedding always needs a thoughtful backup plan. We discuss the options for your chosen venue in advance and consider shelter, an alternative space or adjustments to the setup. I keep an eye on the forecast as the day approaches, so we can make timely decisions and keep you and your guests comfortable.
It is natural for your ideas to evolve as your wedding takes shape. We can revisit the colours, décor, layout and other details wherever possible. Changes involving confirmed suppliers or payments will depend on their booking terms. I will explain what can be adjusted and any costs involved before we make a decision.
Yes. I am there to oversee the preparations, coordinate the suppliers and look after the flow of the day. I stay for as long as I am needed, including late into the evening. You can celebrate with your guests, knowing there is someone taking care of the details.
Then we plan the photography around how you want to experience your day. We discuss your preferences with the photographer beforehand, including any essential portraits and how much time you feel comfortable setting aside. If you prefer natural, documentary-style images with very little posing, we make that part of the plan from the beginning.
I think these photographs can become some of the most meaningful ones. They capture the anticipation, the small gestures and the moments before you see each other. Even for a wedding with just the two of you, getting-ready photographs can tell an important part of your story. We can include time for them without making the morning feel rushed.
Of course. A vintage car, a convertible, a jeep or an entrance accompanied by Greek musicians can make the arrival feel wonderfully personal. Even a donkey might suit the right village setting. We will consider the route, access and practical details, then choose something that feels like you.
Absolutely. I love helping couples create an unexpected moment. It could be live Greek music, a performance, a personal gesture or something completely your own. Tell me what would make your guests smile, and we can develop an idea that fits your celebration, the venue and your budget.
Yes. Your wedding can be part of a few memorable days together in Crete. We could arrange a welcome dinner, a Greek night, a boat trip or a private tour of the island. We will choose activities that suit your group and leave enough space for everyone to relax and enjoy being together.
