Weddings in Greece

Greece is a wonderful country for your wedding, anniversary or any special occasion. Getting married on a beautiful Greek Island is now easier than ever. Most of the ceremony are held in the islands of Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos and Rhodes where foreign weddings are more common because they are such popular tourist destinations. It is possible to have a ceremony anywhere in Greece. Outdoor, indoor, in the beach , at Church virtually anywhere. Santorini is the most popular wedding destination in Greece (for non-Greeks) because of its breathtaking position on the Aegean Sea--1,000 feet above it, that is, and perched on the rim of a volcano. Endless beaches stretching with white, black and red sand, and blood-red sunsets make the small Greek isle one of the top wedding destination locations in the world.

Wedding Planning On A Budget

Getting married in a foreign country requires a lot of paperwork and red tape. There are many professional legal consultants who can handle all of the paperwork and legal hassle for you; these professionals can be found through Greek wedding package services. If you plan to do the wedding on your own, getting married first in your country followed by a spiritual ceremony in Greece is also a hassle-free option. Foreign nationals who wish to have their wedding in Greece can do so in either a civil ceremony performed by a mayor or in a religious ceremony performed by a priest, or both. The couple has to be in Greece for eight days prior to the wedding day! Most church weddings in Greece are Orthodox, but Catholic, Jewish and even Buddhist weddings are possible as well. Civil weddings don’t necessarily have to be performed at a town hall, but can take place in other locations as well, with the permission of the local Mayor.
