Never been in here before- Hiya!

Hi

The wedding brochures that I have looked at in the past have only contained the prices for the actual wedding then you have to refer to the travel agents standard brochures for the price of the holiday which will be in addition to the price in the wedding brochure. Also be careful that a lot of the wedding brochures only list the basic packages and this will not include a meal for your guests etc this will be charged in addition. It may be worth ringing them up to find out exactly what is included and the costs of the enhanced packages.

Where abouts in Greece are you thinking? We are getting married in Zante in 2012 and have found plenty of wedding planners on the internet who are able to organise your wedding (often cheaper) than the tour operators over here and in my opinion have far better knowledge as they live out there.

Thanks for your reply. I think we are going to go with Santorini, and like you said we've found wedding planners based on the island who can offer much better packages. I don't think we are going to be having guests, I think we are eloping haha! We were supposed to have a big white wedding here but it's just all got out of hand, so we are doing a runner.

Whereabouts in Zante? Sounds lovely. I love Zante, it's beautiful.

I'm another Zante Bride! I LOVE ZANTE TOO! We've booked with a planner we found online too. Hopefully we'll be getting married in Alykanas. We're visiting in 4 weeks and meeting our planner. We've got a date, so not long till the venue's confirmed!

(This post was a little self-indulgent and boasty, but I'm so excited!)

Oooooo Santorini, I've heard it is absolutely beautiful. Did you see Nice Day for a Greek wedding on Watch a few weeks ago? There were some lovely Santorini weddings on there. I said to my OH a few weeks ago that if it wasn't for my mum we would have eloped too!!

We have hired a family run villa in Amoudi where we will be staying and holding our ceremony and reception and the family are organising the wedding for us. We will probably only have about 15 guests but this is more than enough for us! Roll on September 2012!!

Good luck with your planning.

Wow, JezVonSavage - good choice. My OH's sister got married there a few years ago. We were both witnesses. It's such a stunning place - don't think you will be disappointed! xxx

Ooooh I LOVED Nice Day for a Greek Wedding, it made me even more excited! (And shed a couple of tears but ho hum!)

It was fab...kind of sealed the deal for us getting married in Greece! The episodes are now on repeat and I found myself sat watching one the other day....I never usually watch anything twice but i'm just so excited think I could watch these back to back all day long ???

I got married in Santorini.....loved every minute of it! Its an amazing location, would recommend it to anyone. Give me a shout if you need any tips!

We booked a wedding planner in Santorini, and booked the wedding seperate - worked out loads cheaper and we had much more control over what we wanted, including the date / time we got married.
