Good Wedding Destinations in Greece?

[mj_toronto8]

I am not Greek, but I love the country. I am looking at it as a potential wedding destination. Does anyone have any advice? I have no idea where to start. Someone said to find a wedding planner in Greece. Also, I am not 100% sure on the destination but I have narrowed it down to the following places:

1. Milos
2. Crete
3. Santorini
4. Mykonos

Any advice that you have for me would be great. I am excited for this chapter in my life, but I have no idea where to start. I would think that I need to find a destination before I hire a wedding coordinator?

I’m sorry I don’t know anywhere on these islands but St Paul’s Bay, Lindos, Rhodes is a beautiful venue. Not sure it’s suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to the slope down to it, and when I was there the ceremonies were being performed in the courtyard rather than the chapel due to inappropriate behaviour by an earlier wedding party, but it’s a beautiful venue with the acropolis across the way.
Lindos and nearby Pefkos are nice resorts and very much geared up to deal with weddings.

Island of Kastellorizo. 3 hour ferry ride from Rodos. Kas (Turkey) an hour ferry ride. There is a small airport. Small island away from the tourist throngs. Most tourists are Australian born Kastellorizians. Picturesque. Beautiful church. Wedding friendly.

My daughter is getting married on Crete next June. She is having it at the venue of Roxani Estates outside of Chania. She is using a wedding planner, but the venue also has many contacts. She is estimating about 100 people in attendance.

I am going to be attending a wedding in Crete, likely next summer. The island seems to have a lot of options for people who want to plan a wedding. My friend is Greek, but that shouldn't make a difference, whether you are Greek or not. I don't think they had a wedding planner, but they did have family on Crete helping out.

I have heard of Roxani Estates @Sandyrodrigo - it sounds gorgeous. The wedding I am going to is in a village at someone's villa, but I heard good things about Roxani, too.

I would recommend getting a wedding planner, but I would wait until you narrow things down.

This is interesting advice. I might looking into Roxani Estates. I think that Crete is a good island for my purposes because I have a large guest list for a destination wedding.

Thank you everyone for chiming in!
