Luxury Weddings in Greece

Luxury Weddings in Greece

A guide to local wedding customs and legislation

Interested in luxury weddings in Greece? Planning a luxury wedding from afar may seem a difficult task. But, this does not have to be the case. In fact, Poema is here to help you simplify the process. All journeys start with one first step. In this case, the first step is to decide "the type of wedding you want". More specifically, what ceremony best relates to your style, vision and wedding intent.

Meanwhile, it is important to understand local wedding customs. To assist you in this task, we have compiled a general guide. In brief, the guide will help you consider diverse ceremonies, from different perspectives. We propose to review these options, as starting points. Once we know the style you want, together we can personalize your ceremony. After all, our goal for every Poema wedding, is to reflect the unique character of the partnership it celebrates.

After you review the guide, if you still have questions, we would be happy to reply. Simply fill in the form, to request a free consultation.

Multiple Wedding Celebrations

If there is one thing we have embraced in recent years, it is our adaptability. And our ability to find love and rejoice even in the hardest of circumstances. Life, will always be celebrated. Everywhere. Every time. And when two lives join together, well, that deserves an exceptional celebration... Or two... Or more!

It is an upcoming trend for couples to have a private ceremony and then have multiple celebratory events. Multiple events allow the couple to address each of their guest segments accordingly. For instance, elder relatives and family friends can be treated in a beautifully plated sit-down dinner. Then, the younger crowd could be treated to the best beach party of their lives! Followed the next day, by fun sea activities for all. And a lavish dinner at a seaside restaurant for close family and friends. You set the pace. We simply make it happen.

Charitable weddings

Another type of wedding to consider is charitable weddings. Our team has worked with young couples, who wanted their wedding to have social impact. Some asked their guests to donate to charity, instead of buying them wedding gifts. Charity wedding registries are popular amongst couples that live together, since they already have all necessary appliances. Others chose to donate some of their wedding elements to charities that help less fortunate couples get married. Do you feel that your wedding is the perfect opportunity to support a good cause? Our team at POEMA can help you plan an impactful charitable wedding.

Plan your religious wedding in Greece

Plan your religious wedding in Greece!

Let us begin with a simple exercise. Close you eyes and think of your wedding day. Are you standing in the courtyard of a beautiful white church? Are you holding your partner's hand, under a bougainvillea tree? Do you see yourselves coming together in Holy matrimony, rich in symbolism and tradition? If the answer is yes, then you should consider having a religious wedding.

Here are some quick facts about religious ceremonies in Greece. First of all, you do not have to live in Greece to have a religious wedding here. In our related page, you can find the types of religious weddings that we can organize for you in Greece. If, in the end, you need more information, you can also visit our Q & A page.

Civil Weddings in Greece

Civil Weddings in Greece

Civil Weddings are an ideal option for couples that prefer a secular ceremony. In Greece, the ceremony lasts approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Performed by the Mayor or a designated representative, civil weddings usually take place at the Municipal Hall. However, some Municipalities will allow couples the freedom to choose their own wedding location. It all comes down to you and the luxury wedding ceremony you envision.

Our team can guide you through the process and help you select the perfect Hall or venue for your wedding. Together, we will create the perfect set-up to celebrate the love you share. To find out more about civil weddings in Greece, visit our related page.

Commitment ceremony in Greece

Commitment ceremony in Greece

Commitment ceremonies in Greece are similar to weddings, but they are not legally binding. Therefore, they are an excellent choice for couples that do not wish to get involved with paperwork. This type of ceremony is gaining popularity in Greece. Especially with young Greek couples, that love to keep things simple and focus on substance. So, if you wish to commit to your partner without involving God or State, then this is perfect for you.

cultural wedding in Greece

Have your cultural wedding in Greece!

In Greece, any wedding that is not registered at the Vital Statistics Office (Lixiarcheio) is perceived as Cultural. This means that the traditions of the wedding are recognized, but not its legal status. Many couples do not feel the need to register their marriage officially. Keeping their wedding traditions intact during the ceremony, is for them the only thing that matters.

However, if legal marital status is important to you and your partner, there are ways to have both. Without compromising one or the other. For one thing, you can have a Civil wedding as well. For another, you can have a small official ceremony back home. No matter how you proceed, it is important to choose the right location. Once we know all the details of the ceremony, our team will help you chose the right city and venue. We'll make sure your wedding will be enlivened by the natural beauty of Greece.

Plan your fusion wedding in Greece

Plan your fusion wedding in Greece

If you and your partner belong to different faiths or cultural backgrounds, a fusion wedding is the way to go. And Greece is an ideal place to have a fusion destination wedding. Why? Because fusion is embedded in our culture. Since the beginning of time, Greece has been a trading hotspot. Exchanging ideas, knowledge, practices, myths, customs. For Greeks, synthesis leads to growth. We understand what blending two traditions entails. And our team will respectfully discuss with you all important traditions that must be included. While, at the same time, leave room for new ideas to birth and grow. What could be better, than to start your new life together, with an act of absolute equilibrium?

Plan a luxury minimony in Greece

Plan a luxury minimony in Greece

Minimonies are very intimate. After elopements, they are the second most intimate type of wedding ceremony. With no more than 15 guests, minimonies allow couple and guests to immerse fully into the wedding experience. If you and your guests plan to stay for a few days, you can book a private villa. We can arrange for the ceremony and reception to take place there, as well. Then, for the remaining days, we can propose fun activities you and your guests will enjoy. It is no wonder this is currently the most popular type of luxury wedding in Greece. As newlyweds, spoil yourselves and your guests with the best Greece has to offer.

How to plan the best micro wedding in Greece

How to plan the best micro wedding in Greece

Microweddings or micro weddings are exactly that. Small weddings. With a short guestlist (about 50 guests), couples can enjoy the best of both worlds: intimacy and grandeur. For the couple, a shorter guestlist opens up more opportunities. For example, couples can cater to the needs of every guest, instead of addressing their guests collectively. Furthermore, attention to detail and customization are necessary elements at the heart of every micro-wedding. Find out what makes or breaks a microwedding on our dedicated page.

Sequel weddings in Greece

Sequel weddings in Greece

Recent events have given rise to a new wave of sequel weddings. Both in Greece and abroad. Sequel weddings are by no means a new type of wedding celebration. Traditionally, both ceremonies were equal in size and tone, usually celebrating two distinct religious or cultural traditions. However, the new type of sequel weddings celebrates individuality and freedom. Currently, couples plan one intimate ceremony, followed by a larger wedding event to celebrate with extended friends and family. Visit our dedicated page for more details.
