I’ve been a wedding planner in Greece for nearly ten years. I’ve seen stunning gowns, grand fireworks, ten-course menus on clifftops. But honestly? Those aren’t always the weddings that stick with me. What stays in my mind are the small, quiet things. A couple squeezing hands tightly before saying their vows. A bride laughing uncontrollably as the wind lifts her veil. A father holding back tears during a toast that no one expected.

A few years ago, getting married abroad seemed like something only celebrities did. Today? It’s becoming a natural choice for many couples. And honestly… I totally get it. As a wedding planner in Greece for nearly a decade, I’ve seen the shift. Couples no longer come to me just for a pretty view. They come looking for something different.

When I work with a couple, I’m not just planning an event. I’m walking alongside them for months. I see them evolve, ask themselves deep questions, hesitate, dream big, rethink, reconnect. And little by little, something builds — quietly, deeply. It’s not just logistics. It’s a rise in emotion. And it’s beautiful to witness.
