03 Planning notes

Good to
know

When to marry

Late spring to early autumn is the main wedding season. High summer is hot and busy; May, June, September and early October are often gentler for guests.

Ceremony & paperwork

Foreign couples can usually have a legal civil ceremony in Greece. Each of you will typically need a passport, birth certificate and proof that you are free to marry, apostilled and officially translated into Greek, and a marriage notice published locally before the town hall issues a licence. Many couples instead marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Greece. Requirements can change, so always check current rules with the local municipality before booking.

Legal or symbolic?A legal ceremony abroad makes you married under that country’s law. A symbolic ceremony has all the romance without the paperwork, and many couples then complete a short legal formality in the UK. Requirements vary and can change, so always check current official guidance for your destination, including GOV.UK’s guidance on getting married abroad, before booking.

For your guests

Island hopping takes time, so we look at flights and ferries together and keep guests on one island where we can. We can help guests with flights from different UK airports, accommodation options and, where available, payment arrangements.

Honeymoon pairing

Pair it with a second island, or fly on to the Maldives or Mauritius.
