Crete Within Weddings
Although Rali And Ilya Had Already Tied The Knot In Canada A Few Months Prior, They Both Knew That Their Union Would Not Be Complete Without An Orthodox Wedding Ceremony. Both Were Raised In The Orthodox Faith, And They Were Determined To Honor Their Heritage By Embracing The Traditional Rites Of Their Ancestors. The Orthodox Church Has A Long History In Crete Dating Back To The 1st Century Ad, And The Couple Was Drawn To The Island's Ancient Roots. Choosing The Ancient Basilica In The Mythological Amari Valley Of Central Crete As Their Wedding Venue Was A Nod To The Island's Rich History. Surrounded By The Echoes Of Centuries Past, Rali And Ilya Exchanged Vows In A Ceremony That Was As Timeless As It Was Beautiful.

weddings Come In All Shapes And Sizes: Grand Celebrations, Minimal Gatherings, Or Intimate Ceremonies Like The One Emily And Rob Dreamed Of. They Traveled From The Uk To The Sunny Crete With Their Large Family, A Couple Had 4 Kids. 

emily And Rob Wished For A Special, Secluded Spot For Their Intimate Ceremony With Close Family. We, As Local Wedding Planners, Based In Crete, suggested A Magical Place At The Edge Of The Akrotiri Peninsula In The Chania Region. Though It Wasn’t Far From Chania, Reaching This Secluded Spot Felt Like Entering A Different World. The Air And Atmosphere Held A Unique Essence That Made The Journey Worth Every Step Although It Wasn’t So Easy To Get There. It Turned Out Wonderfully, Perfectly Aligning With Emily And Rob’s Vision. Seeing Their Joy, Love And Happiness Is What We Strive For, To Turn Dreams Into Reality On Such A Special Day.

we’re Always On The Lookout For Unique Places, Whether For Grand Or Small Weddings. Crete Offers It All, From Well-equipped, Easily Accessible Venues To Hidden Gems Waiting To Be Discovered. We’re Here To Make Your Dreams Come True. After All, Who Doesn’t Love A New Adventure?

Remember To Sign It After, Or During Your Ceremony, (another Great Photo Opportunity), Have Your Witness Ready And Ensure That Your Officiant Knows What Should Be Completed.

the Wedding: 

"we Fall In Love With Polignano A Mare When We Visited In 2018, It Was So Naturally Beautiful And We Knew Then That It Was The Place We Wanted To Get Married. A Small Celebration Of 30 People, Our Closest Family And Friends Only. We Wanted It To Be Classic Italian But With A Modern Twist And Masseria Le Torri Was Perfect For Us. I Remember Pulling Up To Visit It And Falling In Love,  It Was Like A Princess Castle. It Was The Best Day Of Our Lives And Everyone Has Told Us It Was The Best Wedding They Have Ever Been To, From The Delicious Italian Food To The Amazing Band And The Flowers Which Were So Different And Amazing. We Couldn't Of Wished For Anything Different."

our Love Story:

"well We Have Been Together Since We Were 13 And 14, Real Childhood Sweethearts, We Moved In Together When We Were 17 And Have Lived Together Ever Since, We Are Soul Mates And Our Families Are So Intertwined Now After 13 Years Of Knowing Each Other, That How The Day Felt So Special!"
