Our mission is to meticulously and creatively handle the planning and coordination of your wedding while keeping the journey as serene as that day itself. We promise to try and keep your stress levels to a minimum and nerves at bay by taking over the estimated 720 hours it takes to plan & coordinate a wedding ! We look forward to co-creating a day that is personal yet extraordinary for you both!

MOODBOARD & BRIEF

We’re in the early stages of planning an intimate wedding for around 25 guests, potentially in May 2027. Our thoughts so far are to have a 3-day celebration on a Greek island, something like:

Day 1: Group activity (e.g., excursion) followed by a casual dinner/celebration
Day 2: Wedding ceremony and reception
Day 3: Group activity (e.g., catamaran trip)

We’re interested in a villa that can host all events, ideally with on-site guest rooms and additional accommodations nearby for extra guests. Being close to the beach and airport is important.

We’re open to suggestions on islands (thinking of places like Santorini, Corfu, or Rhodes) and venues that would fit our vision and budget. We’re also happy to have the ceremony here and complete the legal paperwork back home if that simplifies things.
Since we’re still early in planning, any ideas or help you can offer would be much appreciated. If you could send us details on venue options, availability, and estimated costs (venue, catering, activities, accommodations, etc.), that would be very helpful.
