Those weddings usually take place during summer or at the end of it, in order to avoid the Mediterranean heat…Whether in Cyclades, Dodecanese or Ionian Islands, they cannot start without music, performed by professionals with traditional instruments and songs with humorous lyrics. The musicians are followed by a happy group consisting of the bride’s and the groom’s family members and friends. This company goes through the streets or the coast of the town, rather dancing than walking, stating the happy event and sharing it with the whole place. At the end of their route the groom, the bride or they both are taken by them among laughs and jokes to the church. The ceremony is usually followed by a celebration accompanied with big amounts of food, roasted meat and wine, while all the guests are dancing in the strong music of the musicians until the sunrise and even later!
Another option is getting married by a civil wedding and not a religious one.
Having an idea of the traditional Greek wedding, you are free to choose whether you want a civil wedding, a religious one, or even a simple wedding under the stars, or in a tiny chapel where only you and your mate will exchange vows. In all cases, Greece is always offering the ideal place for committing the lives of two people who love each other.
However, despite the beautiful and romantic side of this event, there are some practical details regarding the organization of a wedding held in Greece and may cause a real headache. The paperwork that has to be done includes things such as the translation of the birth certificate, the ad put to the local newspaper with the official announcement of the wedding and of course the hotel bookings, the reservation, reception, transportation and all these necessary but stressful details. Therefore, if you do not want to spoil this happy period by going through all these annoying works, there are professionals and travel agencies offering “wedding packages” that take up the whole Greece wedding plan and organization, saving your time and effort. They will contact the president or major of the community in case of a civil wedding or the head priest in case of a religious one and will arrange the ceremony in the best and most convenient way for you.
Another good reason why having your wedding in Greece, is that you don’t have to travel for the honeymoon, since you are already there! The magical places you can choose from the large variety of the Greek islands such as Mykonos, Rhodes, Crete, Corfu and many more will host the sweet days of the couple and you will have the honeymoon you have dreamed of!
In all cases, we can organize for you any type of wedding.
