Poema Weddings & Events is a distinguished destination wedding planner in Greece, with a focus on Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. Our all inclusive services are available to a highly select number of couples annually. Planning everything from concept to delivery, our aim is to materialize your vision with perfection and grace.
What does a destination wedding planner do?
At Poema, our destination wedding planner services are all inclusive. We will begin by setting an appointment to meet and discuss your vision. This initial meeting is a free consultation. Together, we will explore the ways we can help you, as well as the degree of involvement you require. If you decide that we are your perfect match, we will proceed with discussing our services in depth. These services are the basis upon which we will begin to plan your wedding.
Type of wedding
We help you create a wedding that truly represents you and your partner. Over the years, we have designed diverse ceremonies, each tailored to the couple’s unique vision. You might envision an Orthodox ceremony in Athens, like James & Melina’s, or a Hindu ceremony in Santorini’s cliff side, inspired by Mili & Abhi’s joyful celebration. Perhaps a same-sex wedding like Alexis & Christina’s, honoring their birthplace, or an elegant symbolic ceremony in Santorini, just like Emily & Danny’s. We also crafted a breathtaking three-day Hindu and Christian wedding for Natasha & Mitchell, among others.
On the whole, each wedding we plan is unique, having a set of different demands to be met. With our extensive experience, we can navigate those demands for you. This way, you can choose the ceremony that best expresses you and your partner, without factoring in the logistics.
Destination and location planning
You and your partner may want to plan your wedding in Athens. Others "just know" they want to get married in Greece. Other couples want to plan a beach wedding in Santorini or Mykonos. All this information is crucial, but in no way conclusive of the wedding's actual location. As a top destination wedding planner in Greece, we know how to translate your dream expectations to actual locations. Additionally, we know all the best places to have your wedding in Greece. All you have to do is express where your heart desires to take you, and we will find the exact location for you.
Plan for collateral events
When it comes to destination weddings, it is customary to plan additional activities. Directed primarily to entertaining your guests, collateral events offer perfect opportunities to involve them in your ceremony. Moreover, if your guests are staying for more than one day, complementary activities are great ways to thank them. Depending on your destination, season and interests, we can plan additional activities, for all ages, to spoil your guests. This way, you can transform your wedding from a private event into an immersive experience for all.
Coordinate design implementation
If you need help with developing your wedding's design concept, out team can offer you our services. Together we can plan the overall concept and oversee its implementation. Then, again, you may know exactly what you want, down to the last detail. If this is the case, we can offer support at an advisory capacity. We can discuss the stylistic direction you wish to take and advise you on matters of implementation.
Identify the ideal vendors
When you plan your wedding in a different country, having first-hand experience of the services offered is difficult. As your team on location, we can help you in that respect. Having an absolute understanding of your wedding needs, we can perfectly meet them with the right suppliers. Plus, as your wedding planners, we know your budget, guest needs, and timeline. Thus, we can turn to our network of local connections to discover hidden gems for you. We can, also, make on-site visits, hold meetings and arrange tastings to make sure all is in accordance with specifications. Finally, we can negotiate all vendor contracts to get the best possible deals on your behalf.
Determine and manage budget
It is easy to loose track of budget when you plan your own destination wedding. Why? Because you are emotionally invested, and that, oftentimes, leads to miscalculated decisions. To this effect, it is our job to keep you well informed about monetary issues, at all times. We will translate your wishes into monetary cost and protect you from overextending your budget without impact. How? First, we will evaluate your wedding choices based on cost and impact, to determine the overall budget. Then, with a set budget, we will negotiate with vendors to guarantee the highest return on your monetary investment. And finally, we will monitor all expenses to make sure there are no discrepancies to expenditure.
Create a detailed timeline
Planning a wedding involves multiple variables. Even more so, when it comes to destination weddings, where transportation, accommodation and collateral events factor into the equation. As your wedding planners, we will break down everything into specific tasks. Then, we will organize these tasks on chronological order to create a detailed timeline for the wedding. This is a dynamic process that will be adjusted as we proceed with planning. The important thing is to always allow room for the unforeseen. As well as make sure how one single change can affect associated tasks.
