What It’s Really Like to Plan a Destination Wedding in Greece [From a Wedding Planner’s POV]

What It’s Really Like to Plan a Destination Wedding in Greece [From a Wedding Planner’s POV]

Dreaming of a wedding in Greece but wondering how it all actually comes together? We get it—planning a destination wedding from another country can feel like jumping into the unknown.

At Evental, we’ve helped couples from all over the world plan their weddings in Athens and other beautiful parts of Greece. And we’re giving you a peek behind the curtain at what it’s really like to plan your dream day from abroad—with us by your side every step of the way.

Step 1: It Starts with a Vision (and a Vibe)

Every couple comes to us with a unique story, style, and dream. Some have Pinterest boards, others just say “we want it romantic, with ocean views and olive branches.” We love it all.

In our first calls, we dive into:

• Your budget + guest count

• Preferred wedding date

• Must-haves vs. nice-to-haves

• Your personalities and style (minimalist? boho? luxury chic?)

This is where your vision becomes our mission.

Step 2: We Build Your Dream Team

From venues and florals to photography, food, and music—we connect you with trusted, professional vendors we’ve worked with before and absolutely love. No guessing, no Google spiral. Just people we know will show up and deliver magic.

We also coordinate:

• Legal paperwork

• Translation of documents (if needed)

• Booking + contracts

• Timeline management

Step 3: You’re Involved—But Not Overwhelmed

We keep you in the loop, but you don’t need to handle the chaos. We present curated options, mood boards, schedules, and visuals so you can make confident choices—even from across the world.

And yes, we’ve planned entire weddings with couples who never saw the venue in person until the big day.

Step 4: The Wedding Week – You Arrive, We’ve Got It Handled

When you and your guests land in Greece, everything is already in motion. The vendors are confirmed. The tables are being set. The sunset is scheduled (okay, not by us—but close). 😉

We handle:

• Welcome dinners

• Guest transportation

• Last-minute changes

• Day-of coordination

• Vendor payments

All you need to do is celebrate.
