Maria Damanaki Events

     

Maria provided great support and wedding planning services from start to finish. She was incredible organized and used a professional planning software, which ensured all costs and tasks were tracked clearly. On the days of the wedding and preparty, all plans were executed perfectly and we had an amazing time!

     

Maria was AMAZING. She is kind, caring, detail-oriented, and super easy to work with. We were very nervous about hiring a wedding planner and trusting someone with such a big event and expense, especially since we are not Greek and we live abroad.

When we met Maria, she made us feel super comfortable, and eventually felt like she was part of our family. We could not have done this without her she was 100% worth every penny and more. She is there with you for every decision and never pressures you to go with one vendor or another- she really wants what is best for you. Highly highly recommend!

     

I found Maria online after my husband and I decided to get married in Greece! I had no idea where to start and we wanted to have a destination wedding that would honor both of our cultures as I am American and my husband is Greek. From our very first communication, Maria has been responsive and taken great care in her work. Maria provided everything from start to finish: she helped us come up with a vision and theme for our wedding, helped us create a budget, she helped us curate so many customized design choices that made our wedding feel special and personal to us. Maria has a background in design and you can tell that she has amazing taste and an eye for crafting a beautiful aesthetic. She also helped me understand all of the Greek wedding customs and provided guidance along the way about how to make the wedding feel inclusive to both of our cultures. She has many contacts with local vendors at her fingertips and a great deal of experience with printing as well. Because of this the pace of planning was very easy and my friends were always surprised when I'd tell them I'm not stressed about the wedding planning because I have a great planner lol! On the day of; Maria and her staff were very attentive and ensured that the day went smoothly and the final result was a dream come true. On top of all this, Maria is just really warm and friendly. I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with her throughout the process. I highly recommend going with Maria if you are someone who is meticulous and likes attention to detail! Maria will have you covered!

     

Maria transformed my dream of a simple vow renewal into an extraordinary mini-wedding that surpassed all expectations. From our first discussion in February to the event in May, her dedication, creativity, and outstanding organizational skills were exceptional. She navigated the short timeline with finesse, ensuring every detail was in place.

Her extensive understanding of Greece and its event landscape brought forth a multitude of unique ideas, making the intricacies of planning a destination wedding comprehensible. My experience with her surpasses anything I’ve encountered in America regarding service.

What sets Maria apart is her genuine kindness and personalized approach. Her unwavering commitment was evident as she stayed with us from the beginning of the event at 5 PM until its conclusion at 3 AM. My experience with Maria was nothing short of a five-star service, making her the go-to planner for any future events. If you’re looking to create memorable moments in Greece, Maria holds the key.

     

Maria saved the day when I was having a venue crisis after all my save the dates had been sent out. It was impossible to plan my wedding while abroad (time differences, language differences) and Maria made it seamless. She is so organized and detail-oriented, and has great taste/suggestions. I am obsessed with her. She is worth every penny. I literally made an announcement during my wedding reception about her. HIRE HER!
