My job
As a wedding celebrant in Greece I spend my time meeting couples and families, learning their story, and writing a unique ceremony for their special day. Often asked to officiate luxury ceremonies for couples of mixed faith or with Greek heritage, I love to work with any couple who is looking for a truly special ceremony anywhere in Greece.
Same-sex weddings in Greece
I am a lifelong believer in total marriage equality, so if you are planning a LGBTQ wedding in Greece look no further! On 16 February 2024 Greece legalised same-sex civil marriage unions in Greece and was the first Orthodox country to do so. However the civil ceremony is short and generic so you should consider a celebrant led ceremony for your special day! You haven’t travelled all the way to Greece for anything less.
Known in the industry as a symbolic wedding, no wedding ceremony that I write and officiate will feel ‘symbolic’ in any way.
For those of you who have no idea how a celebrant can enhance your destination wedding in Greece, you are not alone! If you are from the USA or Australasia, you will be amongst those who do understand, as celebrant led ceremonies in these regions of the world have been the way to go for decades!
Your Unique Ceremony in Greece
You have chosen Greece as the venue for your destination wedding and are bringing your family and friends with you to enjoy the wedding and of course the celebrations which follow!

So many couples completely forget to discuss options for the ceremony, that moment in time when you stand up in front of your family and friends, and exchange rings and say your vows to each other as partners for life. It really is the most important part of any wedding day!

If you choose a celebrant led ceremony in Greece, it will in essence be symbolic, however most couples choosing this type of unique ceremony, will register their marriage back home before travel, quietly with no celebrations, allowing them to have the ceremony of their dreams in Greece to celebrate their marriage.
My ceremonies have no time limits, are perfect for couples looking for some traditions linked to their faith, couples who wish to include their family and friends and of course can be held anywhere; at your holiday villa, on the beach at the waters edge, on a yacht, at a winery, well I could go on and on, no restrictions at all.
Large weddings, tiny weddings, elopements and vow renewals, these are all ceremonies I write and create. I have to admit I do love a crowd and am happy to stay on if asked, as Master of Ceremonies for the evening do, but I am just as comfortable with an intimate elopement or vow renewal at sunset or even sunrise!
Oh yes, nearly forgot, I speak Greek too, for any of you with Greek heritage, it did take me a few years to open my mouth, but a couple of decades later I am much improved!
