Wedding in Greece

Planning a Wedding in Greece with NM Events Agency – Your Expert Wedding Organizer in Greece

Who hasn't heard of Greece, the land of the most ancient European civilization? It's typically associated with the Athenian Acropolis and Homer's Odyssey. Those who have been there can describe rows of white houses rising in tiers against a bright blue sky.

Greece is undoubtedly an ancient country with a vibrant history and mythology. The ancient Greek gods constantly married each other, making the Greek Pantheon the largest of its kind. So why shouldn't people do the same? By having a wedding in Greece, newlyweds symbolically join the ranks of the once-almighty gods and ancient heroes.

Our wedding agency, NM Events, will help you organize your wedding and ceremony in Greece.

In recent years, hosting a wedding in Greece has become increasingly popular. Weddings are held in the most beautiful locations across the country, from major cities to remote, small islands.

The wedding season in Greece begins after Easter in April or May and lasts until the end of September or early October. This is no surprise. In spring, everything blooms, and nature transforms, offering newlyweds incredibly beautiful landscapes for wedding photos and outdoor celebrations.

A wedding in Greece can be either official or symbolic. If an official ceremony is held, the list of venues is somewhat limited. Naturally, this includes the Greek capital, Athens. Official ceremonies are also held on the islands of Crete, Rhodes, and Santorini. After such a wedding, the couple receives an official marriage certificate recognized worldwide.

A symbolic ceremony holds no legal force. The newlyweds receive only a commemorative certificate. However, such a wedding can be held in absolutely any corner of the country, from major Greek cities to small villages on islands scattered across the sea. Couples opting for a symbolic ceremony will have access to the best beaches and luxurious seaside villas.

A wedding in Crete can be held at the ancient Venetian Fortezza fortress, where restoration work was recently completed.

For those seeking even more exotic experiences, consider Santorini. There, the couple may be surprised by a real pirate schooner in a volcanic crater. Such a wedding in Santorini will be unforgettable. Locals call the island a fragment of Atlantis—who wouldn't want to hold their wedding ceremony in such a legendary place?

A wedding in Rhodes harmoniously blends modernity and antiquity. Rhodes is the birthplace of the sun god Helios, giving a wedding held here special meaning. Greeks believe that weddings celebrated on Rhodes are blessed by the ancient Greek gods.

In Greece, almost every island has its divine patrons. Zakynthos is no exception. It is said that Apollo and Artemis descended here for rest. While there are no grand historical monuments, the island boasts wonderful nature: green forests, azure seas, and quiet coves perfect for swimming.

A wedding in Zakynthos, held amidst the truly divine beauty of this island favored by perfect Greek gods, will be remembered for years to come.

Among the many options for hosting a wedding abroad, Greece may not hold the top spot, but it undoubtedly has undeniable advantages. Russia and Greece share long-standing friendly relations. It is an Orthodox country, close to us in spirit. Geographically, it is also close to Russia, and the cost of a wedding ceremony is significantly lower than in many other destinations.

Numerous ceremony options and venues, the possibility of inviting a famous DJ or renowned musicians, a high-class photographer or videographer—all of this is available to our clients who turn to our agency, whose main mission is organizing weddings outside of Russia.
