These days more and more couples are choosing to replace the idea of a traditional wedding and celebrate their love with a civil wedding ceremony overseas. There are a number of popular destination wedding locations, and although Greece has always been a favourite for Brits for example, there was always the assumption that a civil ceremony in Greece can be a rather complicated thing, a fact that possibly made couples choose other destinations.
If you always dreamed of a civil wedding with a ceremony on the magical beaches of Greece – The good news is that from now on, with us, you can very well add Greece as a top civil wedding destination and get married civilly easily, and without any hassle or restrictions.
Why Greece?
First of all, Greece comes with a bonus: not only it’s a favourite wedding destination for many couples from all over the world, it can also be an amazing honeymoon destination. Many couples decide to take the opportunity and turn the event into a romantic destination wedding combined with a dreamy honeymoon.
Greece has it all: apart from being famous for its beautiful white sand beaches and clear turquoise waters, it is also packed with wonderfully romantic places, from picturesque villages, traditional Greek islands to vibrant coastal towns. Greece is also a cultural paradise, home to an ancient historical heritage and full of archaeological sites, temples and monuments. Wherever you choose to get married in Greece you will never be far from amazing places that offer so much to do, eat, drink and see.
Greece is also blessed with impressive mountains, rivers and enchanting forests. The high mountains and northern villages are covered with white snow during winter and the views are simply breath-taking! This will make a perfect setting for a magical winter wedding.
The Greeks are famous for their hospitality and generosity and they are always eager to share their tradition with tourists and visitors. Weddings are definitely included in the many traditions (smashing plates, anyone?) that will surely put a smile on your face and make your civil wedding an unforgettable event.
So what do you need for a civil wedding in Greece?
You might have thought that a legal civil ceremony in Greece is a complicated matter that will probably require quite a bit of paperwork and hassle – this is where we come into the picture!
We are familiar with the Greek bureaucracy and more importantly we have created an extensive network of contacts within the Greek authorities, which will make things so much easier with all the required documents.
From translating the documents to registering at the local Registrar’s Office all the way to issuing your marriage license. At the same time we will coordinate all the other wedding details including flights and accommodation, depending on what wedding package you choose.
We offer two types of civil wedding packages:
The basic civil wedding package
Where you can simply travel to Greece and return as a married couple! You can choose a few days' wedding gateway or a short one day trip.
Contact us
The Indulgence civil wedding package
A proper holiday that includes accommodation, transfers, and planning the ceremony - perfect for couples who wish to combine their wedding with a dreamy holiday, where we take care of everything!
Contact us
With both packages you can choose to add unique services such as design, photography, a special vintage car for the wedding photos, hair and makeup, bridal bouquet, concierge service and many more added services to make your day special. In both cases we will be there to guide you through all the necessary stages until the marriage certificate is in your hands.
There is no doubt that Greece is an amazing destination for a wedding. Apart from the unmistakable charm of a wedding experience on a stunning Greek island there is also the possibility of getting married in the winter with the breath-taking mountain scenery. A Greek wedding ceremony can be tailored to all couples and budgets. More exciting is that now you can even combine the ceremony with a civil wedding which is the perfect solution for a couple who can’t or does not wish to get married traditionally. In most cases your civil wedding in Greece will be recognised in your country! You just need to follow the correct process according to the law in Greece.
A civil wedding in Greece allows you to create exciting and romantic moments and we are here to provide you with all the information you need, making sure you will have a quick and worry-free process all the way to the perfect (civil) Greek wedding of your dreams!
