How to Create a Wedding Weekend Timeline in Greece

How to Create a Wedding Weekend Timeline in Greece

A destination wedding isn’t just a one-day event—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you and your guests. And in Greece? It becomes a full wedding vacation. To make the most of it, a thoughtfully planned wedding weekend timeline is key.

Here’s how we help our couples create an unforgettable flow of events across 2–4 magical days.

DAY 1: Arrival + Welcome Dinner

• ✈️ Guest arrival & hotel check-ins

• 💼 Optional welcome bags distributed

• 🌅 Evening welcome dinner or cocktail hour

  • Light Greek cuisine

  • Relaxed dress code

  • Great ice-breaker for guests who haven’t met

Pro Tip: Host this at a taverna, beach bar, or scenic rooftop. Let it feel casual and fun!

DAY 2: Ceremony + Reception

• ☀️ Morning: Relax & prep time (spa, breakfast, etc.)

• 🕓 Afternoon: Wedding ceremony

  • Church, seaside, villa courtyard—your style

• 🥂 Sunset: Cocktail hour

• 💃 Evening: Reception, dinner, dancing

Optional: Add Greek dancers, plate breaking, fireworks, or live bouzouki music for an authentic touch.

DAY 3: Chill Out + Farewell

• 🏖️ Morning beach brunch or poolside recovery

• 🍉 Traditional Greek breakfast or hangover-cure spread

• 📸 Polaroid station or guest book signing

• ✈️ Afternoon guest departures (or free time for those staying longer)

Optional: Add an excursion (like a boat trip, wine tasting, or walking tour).

🔁 Extend It! Optional Day 4

If guests are staying longer, consider:

• Sailing day

• Group hike

• Cooking class with a local chef

• Greek-style picnic in an olive grove
