A specialist partnership for your wedding in Greece

16 June 2008

If you and your husband-to-be have your hearts set on getting hitched Hellenic-style but can’t concede to a ‘conveyor-belt’ wedding, an exciting new collaboration could make your day as individual and unusual as you ever imagined.

Two specialist companies have come together to offer a service that until now has never existed: a headache and hassle-free, tailor-made yet totally unobtrusive means of tying the knot on an idyllic island in Greece.

Ionian Weddings (IW) is the first wedding consultancy in the UK specialising in Greek island weddings. Greek Islands Club (GIC), a specialist operator with almost 40 years’ experience, takes care of all your and your guests’ flight arrangements and accommodation in outstanding properties (most with their own private pool) in unspoilt areas.

Imagine the excitement of your guests when presented with GIC’s impressive coffee-table brochure, offering a range of exceptional villas, cottages and town houses for them to choose from.

Whether it’s a bouzouki-serenaded ceremony at an historic town hall, aboard a sailing boat amid azure waters, or barefoot on a beach, your service (be it civil, Anglican, Catholic, Orthodox, a blessing or a renewal of vows) will be tailored to your requirements. Your reception too can be personalised down to the most minute of detail, be it at a traditional beachside taverna, pool-side in the bougainvillea-filled garden of a luxury hotel, or in a chic, open-air restaurant offering the tastiest of modern Greek cuisine. And all this at a fraction of the average cost of a UK-based wedding (currently £18,490*).

Weddings on the Ionian and Aegean islands can cost from £700 for a simple set-up for two to £7,000 for a lavish ceremony for 80 or more guests. With this in mind it’s no wonder couples appreciate exceptional value for money in Greece, as well as its warmth, its impeccable hospitality and its wealth of truly original locations.

All Ionian Weddings couples that stay at GIC villa receive a welcome pack, a bottle of Greek bubbly and flowers on arrival. And then, to keep it quirky and Greek-centric, speak to them about the possibility of having your wedding on one island and then escaping family and friends by hopping over to another island for your honeymoon!
