What type of wedding reception is common in Greece?

I am just curious - what types of wedding receptions are common in Greece? For the most part, it looks like the celebrations often take place outside, and there are usually a lot of people there. As I am not Greek and don't have family in Greece, my reception would be pretty small. I don't know what to do!

If you have a super traditional family, most of the weddings I have heard of take place in the family village, outdoors, and everyone pitches in and the party goes all day and often into the next day. But, there have also been more formal situations, as well... I am not sure I have actually never looked into it myself. Hopefully others can chime in!
