Real Wedding Feature: A Romantic Seaside Wedding in Athens

When Emma and David reached out to us from London, they had one request:
“We want something romantic, simple, but unforgettable—with the sea, the sunset, and lots of love.”

We knew exactly what they needed—and Greece delivered.

Here’s a look into their dreamy seaside wedding near Athens, planned with love by the Evental team.

The Couple: Emma & David
  • From: London, UK

  • Wedding Type: Symbolic seaside ceremony

  • Guest Count: 45

  • Season: Late September (golden hour perfection!)

They first visited Greece together on holiday in 2018 and fell in love with the light, the sea, and the relaxed way of life. Fast forward to their engagement, and there was no question: their wedding had to happen in Greece.

The Location: A Hidden Gem on the Athenian Riviera

We hosted the ceremony and reception at a private coastal venue just 30 minutes from central Athens—easy for guests to reach, but with a vibe that felt like a private island escape.

  • Ceremony: Cliffside overlooking the Aegean

  • Reception: Under fairy lights beside the water

  • Decor: Soft whites,dried flowers, blush oranges, and hints of gold

The Details
  • Florals: Local seasonal blooms + olive leaves

  • Music: Live acoustic duo during sunset, DJ for dancing later

  • Food: Modern Greek menu with vegan and gluten-free options

  • Cake: Two-tier white chocolate with fresh figs + lavender

  • Favours: Mini olive oil bottles with custom labels

Emma walked down the aisle barefoot (by choice!) to an acoustic version of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” as the sun dipped into the sea. Not a dry eye in sight.

Our Favorite Moments
  • That golden light during the ceremony—pure magic

  • Guests cheering with ouzo shots right after the kiss

  • First dance under twinkle lights with soft waves in the background

  • Firepit lounge at night with cozy blankets and Greek desserts

💬 Their Words

“We truly couldn’t have done it without Evental. Planning from the UK felt so easy with them. Every detail was better than we imagined. We still get messages from our guests saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.”
