From Flights to Flowers: Why Full-Service Wedding Planning in Rhodes Just Makes Sense

Planning a wedding abroad is no small feat — especially when it’s on a sun-drenched Greek island like Rhodes. While Pinterest boards and Instagram reels make it all look blissfully effortless, the reality is a bit more complicated (read: legal paperwork, Greek bureaucracy, and figuring out if your DJ speaks English).

That’s why more and more UK couples are opting for full-service wedding planning in Rhodes — where one expert team handles everything from flights and hotels to bouquets and beachfront chapels.

And honestly? It’s the smartest move you can make. Here's why.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t just booking a venue and hoping for the best.
Full-service planning means that every single element of your wedding and holiday is handled by one local, experienced team. This includes:

• Legal paperwork & translation

• Venue booking & styling

• Flowers, décor, catering & cake

• Photographer & videographer

• Hair & makeup

• Guest management

• Accommodation & airport transfers

• Flights, holidays, group bookings

• Extras like boat trips, hen/stag do’s, excursions

In our case? We even book your honeymoon and guest holidays — all with ABTA & TTA protection. More on that in a second.

Let’s start with the most obvious sanity-saver: one contact, one team, one plan.

Without a full-service planner, you’ll likely be juggling:

• A travel agent for flights

• A separate company for hotel bookings

• A freelance planner for the ceremony

• Local suppliers you found via Google (and hope are legit)

• Your guests’ endless questions about transfers, weather and what to wear

Now multiply that by 6 months of planning, different time zones, and language barriers.
It’s no wonder so many couples end up stressed before they’ve even packed their sun cream.

A full-service wedding planner in Rhodes takes everything off your plate — and keeps it all under one roof. Bliss.

Here’s where Rhodes Wedding Planner is different.

As part of Medlife Holidays, we’re not just planners — we’re a fully registered travel agency, meaning:

• We can book your flights, hotels, transfers

• We’ll coordinate your guests’ holidays too

• You’ll all be on the same page (and flight path!)

• And yes — it’s all ABTA and TTA protected, so your money is 100% safe

Your wedding and your guests’ travel plans are no longer two separate headaches. It’s all taken care of — with financial protection, full transparency, and zero faff.

Let’s be honest: not all Greek wedding venues are created equal. Neither are all florists, hair stylists or makeup artists.

With a full-service team based in Rhodes, you get:

• Access to hidden gem venues that aren’t even advertised online

• Suppliers we know personally (and have worked with for years)

• Honest advice about what actually works in the Rhodes heat

• Local backup plans in case of weather changes, ferry strikes or last-minute chaos

You don’t want to be relying on Tripadvisor reviews when it comes to your wedding day.
You want real, on-the-ground experience — and that’s exactly what we bring.

Most couples assume full-service = big budget. But actually, it can save you money.

Why?

• We negotiate exclusive rates with venues and suppliers

• We help you avoid common (expensive) mistakes

• We make sure your budget is spent in all the right places

• We prevent duplication (you don’t need to pay three separate companies for overlapping services)

Plus, having flights, hotels, and wedding planning all in one means no hidden extras, no miscommunication, and better value overall.

It’s one invoice, one plan, one expert team — not a patchwork of guesswork.

Getting married abroad means admin. And in Greece? There’s no way around it.

You’ll need:

• Birth certificates (translated and apostilled)

• Decree absolute (if divorced)

• Notarised forms

• Pre-ceremony appointments

• Local witness coordination

• Official Greek translations

Sounds fun, right?

A full-service planner does it all for you, ensuring every document is correct, submitted on time, and filed with the right offices.
You’ll show up, sign, and actually be married (not just in theory).

Your wedding in Rhodes will likely include 10, 20, maybe even 50+ guests.
That’s a lot of logistics.

With full-service planning, we also manage:

• Guest hotel bookings

• Airport transfers

• Welcome drinks & pre-wedding meals

• Optional group excursions

• A digital info pack so they’re not messaging you every 5 minutes

You’re not responsible for planning a group holiday.
We are.

This is your day. You should be:

• Sipping champagne

• Floating through the beach breeze

• Laughing with guests

• Taking golden hour selfies

Not:

• Checking supplier arrival times

• Translating to a Greek DJ

• Managing 4 WhatsApp groups

• Worrying about missing menus or broken microphones

With a full-service planner, you get a dedicated coordinator on the day — running the show behind the scenes so you don’t have to lift a finger.

It’s your moment. We’ll make sure you’re fully in it.

When you book with Rhodes Wedding Planner (via Medlife Holidays), you’re not just booking a wedding — you’re booking with:

• ABTA bonding

• TTA membership

• ATOL-protected packages (for package holidays)

That means:

• Your money is safe in a trust account until you’ve travelled

• You’re fully protected under UK travel laws

• You can book with complete confidence

We’re currently the only wedding planner in Rhodes offering this level of financial protection and travel services in one.

Planning a wedding in Rhodes isn’t just about picking a beach and turning up with a dress. It’s about:

• Legal requirements

• Supplier trust

• Guest logistics

• Travel coordination

• Local knowledge

• Stress-free celebrations

Trying to manage it all separately is overwhelming, expensive, and honestly — unnecessary.

With a full-service team like us, your entire wedding experience is seamless — from the moment you book your flight to the last dance under the stars.

Let’s turn your Pinterest board into reality.
We’ll handle the flights, the flowers, and everything in between — so all you have to do is say “I do.”
