How Much Does a Wedding in Greece Cost?

If you’re dreaming of a wedding abroad but slightly sweating over the price tag - you’re not alone. One of the most common questions we hear is:
“How much is an average wedding in Greece?”
Or more specifically:
“What does a wedding in Greece cost for UK couples?”

Good news: getting married in Greece doesn’t need to cost the earth, especially if you’re looking at Rhodes. It’s one of the most affordable (and most beautiful) islands for a wedding that still feels special, personal, and professionally done.

This guide breaks down what to expect budget-wise, what’s typically included in a Rhodes wedding package, and how to make it all work for you - with no stress and no surprises.

Why Rhodes Offers Some of the Best Value for Weddings in Greece?

While some Greek islands (hello, Santorini) are known for sky-high prices and overcrowded venues, Rhodes is the island that still offers choice, value, and flexibility - without compromising on wow factor.

✅ A mix of beach, historic, and private venues
✅ Direct flights from the UK from most airports
✅ Local suppliers with reasonable pricing
✅ A more relaxed vibe, even in summer
✅ And importantly: more for your money

Whether you're planning a romantic elopement or a 50-guest celebration, Rhodes lets you do it beautifully — and affordably.

So… How Much Is a Wedding in Greece?

The average wedding in Greece — for UK couples — tends to sit somewhere between a few thousand pounds up to £20,000, depending on what you want.

But let’s break that down.

You can get married in Rhodes with:

  • A legal ceremony

  • A beautiful venue

  • All paperwork sorted

  • Flowers, hair, photography, and coordination
    …for well under what you’d spend on a basic UK wedding.

What’s Included in a Typical Rhodes Wedding Package?

We build our packages to include everything you actually need — and nothing you don’t.

A standard full-service wedding package often includes:

  • Venue hire for your ceremony (beach, chapel, garden, etc.)

  • Full legal paperwork support (we handle the lot)

  • Registrar and town hall bookings

  • On-the-day coordination so everything runs smoothly

  • Bridal bouquet and groom’s buttonhole

  • Ceremony decor (arch, table styling, chairs)

  • Professional photographer (typically a couple of hours)

  • Hair & makeup for the bride

  • Extras like music, signage, or a cake toast depending on the venue

We also offer fully bespoke options — but our base packages already cover far more than most couples expect.

What About Flights and Accommodation?

Flights and hotels are typically booked separately — but because we’re also a UK-registered travel agency, we can handle it all for you.

That means:

  • Flights from the UK

  • Hotels or villas (we can help guests too)

  • Group airport transfers

  • Even pre- and post-wedding dinners or excursions

We’re also TTA and ATOL protected, so everything’s covered — and your money is held securely until you’ve travelled.

Does the Time of Year Affect the Cost of Weddings in Greece?

Not your wedding package - but your holiday? Definitely.

At Rhodes Wedding Planner, our package prices stay the same all season. That means whether you get married in May or September, the cost of your wedding itself won’t suddenly shoot up.

What does change with the time of year is the cost of flights and accommodation. July and August are peak holiday months, so you’ll likely pay more for travel and hotels. April, May, late September and October tend to offer better deals and fewer crowds — especially for guests travelling with you.

We’ll always help you find the sweet spot between sunshine, savings, and availability — and make sure you’re not paying more than you need to.

Realistic Wedding Budgets in Rhodes, Greece

Here’s a rough guide (not fixed prices) to help you visualise what different levels might look like:

Small Elopement or Intimate Wedding (2–10 people):
– Simple legal ceremony
– Minimal decor and styling
– A photographer and bouquet
Budget range: a few thousand pounds

Mid-Sized Wedding (20–40 people):
– Full legal wedding with styling
– On-the-day coordinator
– Flowers, photography, music
– Small reception or drinks toast
Budget range: mid-level, still well under a UK wedding

Larger Wedding or Reception Add-On:
– Full ceremony & extended celebration
– Live music, full dinner, open bar
– Guest transfers and optional extras
Budget range: higher but still often cheaper than a UK wedding

And remember — you’re getting a wedding and a holiday in one. No marquee hire. No soggy fields. No bar tabs that cost more than your honeymoon.

Final Thoughts: A Greek Wedding That Makes Sense

There’s no single answer to how much a wedding in Greece costs, because it really does depend on your guest list, your date, and your priorities.

But in Rhodes, you can absolutely get married legally, beautifully, and without blowing your budget — and still have the ceremony you’ve been dreaming of.

No hidden planning fees. Just a simple, sun-drenched, unforgettable wedding abroad
