Why get married in Rhodes?

Rhodes offers sunshine, sea views, stunning venues — and a far lower price tag than a UK wedding. Plus, there’s no need to worry about soggy confetti. It’s Greece. It’s magical. Enough said.

Is it legal to get married in Rhodes as a UK couple?

Yes! We advise you about the correct documents needed, and your marriage will be legally recognised in the UK

How much does a wedding in Rhodes cost?

Our packages start from under £5,000, including your venue, food, planning, coordination, and the essentials. It depends on your guest numbers, location, and how bougie you want to go.

When’s the best time to get married in Rhodes?

May, June, and September are considered the ideal months for weddings in Rhodes — offering warm, sunny weather with fewer crowds. July and August are equally beautiful but can be significantly hotter, so we recommend considering guest comfort during those peak summer months.

Do we need to be in Rhodes before the wedding?

While there’s no legal requirement to arrive a specific number of days before your wedding in Rhodes (despite what you may have heard!), we do recommend arriving a few days in advance. It gives you time to finalise paperwork, meet your coordinator, and settle in without any last-minute stress

Can we have a symbolic ceremony instead?

Absolutely. If you’d prefer to do the legal bit in the UK and have your dream ceremony in Rhodes without paperwork stress — go for it. It looks and feels exactly the same.

What kind of venues do you offer?

Beaches, chapels, villas, wineries, luxury resorts, private estates… we know all the hidden gems (and the Instagram-famous spots too).

Can we customise the wedding packages?

Of course! Think of our packages as a starting point — you can add extras, upgrade services, or create something totally bespoke.

Do you help with legal paperwork?

Yes – from Apostilles to translations, we handle the entire legal process so you don’t need a law degree or a stiff ouzo.

Can you plan the reception and after-party too?

We sure can. From dinner and dancing to fireworks and DJs, we’ll keep the party going as long as you want

What if we don’t speak Greek?

No problem. We handle everything in English, and we’re based in Rhodes — so we speak fluent local when needed.

Can you help with guest accommodation and transfers?

Yes. We’re a full-service UK based travel agency too, so we’ll handle group bookings, transfers, and make sure Nan doesn’t end up in a hostel.

How many guests can we invite?

Whether you want an intimate elopement or 100+ party guests, we can tailor your wedding to suit. No group is too big or small.

Do you offer wedding packages for under £5,000?

Absolutely – we work with all budgets and can create something beautiful no matter your price point. We’ll happily put together a personalised quote based on your vision and guest numbers.

How do we get started?

It’s easy to get started — just click here to send us a message or enquiry. We’ll get back to you with all the info you need to start planning your dream day, your way — no pressure, just friendly expert support

How far in advance should we book?

Ideally, 12–18 months in advance — especially for summer weddings. But we’ve planned incredible weddings in 6 weeks too. (We love a challenge.)

Do you offer same-sex weddings?

Yes. We fully support all couples in love. Legal ceremonies are currently restricted to opposite-sex couples in Greece, but we can absolutely plan a symbolic ceremony with all the magic.

Can you arrange extras like hair, makeup, flowers, and photography?

Yes. From glam squads to flower arches to drones filming you from the cliffs — we’ve got trusted suppliers for everything.

Do we get a wedding coordinator on the day?

Absolutely. You’ll have a dedicated coordinator with you from start to finish on your big day — and unlike many planners, we only ever take on one wedding per day. That means our full attention is on you, your celebration, and making sure every detail runs exactly as it should

What happens if it rains?

It’s rare, but we always have a solid Plan B in place. Whether it’s covered terraces or moving things indoors, you won’t be left dancing in a downpour (unless that’s your vibe).
