MICROWEDDINGS IN GREECE ARE THE NEW "IT" WHEN IT COMES TO INTIMATE AFFAIRS

 

Microweddings in Greece are the new "it" bringing -despite their name- a new BIG DAY twist to intimate affairs, so if you are considering a small change in your 2020 wedding plans or simply wish to create a unique intimate wedding in Greece for 2021, this trend is something you may wish to get familiar with!

 

MICROWEDDINGS VS ELOPEMENTS

But isn't a microwedding an elopement really? You might ask and you are perfectly right to wonder. Well, the short answer is no. You see, while both of these wedding genres are essentially smaller as far as your guest count is concerned, elopements are actually more spontaneous and "just the two of us" or attended by one or two witnesses, whereas microweddings are full-on nuptials with all the elements and services of a traditional wedding only with a modest number of guests, from 20 to 50.

 

MICROWEDDINGS IN GREECE CAN TURN INTO A MACRO-EXPERIENCE

Exploring more destinations

There is a good reason why many couples choose to have a microwedding in Greece, and that is being able to enjoy the whole shebang. A traditional, full-blown destination wedding on the Greek Islands can be a sublime experience both for the couple and their guests. However, if you and your spouse-to-be are life-loving island hoppers, who wish to explore as much as you possibly can in this multifaceted country and incorporate more than one destinations in your wedding events, then planning for a wedding of 200 is definitely way costlier than planning for 50.

Hosting multiple events

The same goes for the couples who wish to create an experience for their wedding in Greece. Getting married in Greece involves a lot of seminal experiences, the traditions, the celebrations, the food, the pre and post-wedding festivities, but also capsules of exquisite within-the-day happenings are something a couple does not want to miss out on. Each region in Greece is chockfull of exciting things to do and try, each with a unique
local character and charm.

 

Offering your guests the time of their lives

Is another great reason to consider having a microwedding in Greece. Creating a fully-fledged sophisticated event topped with trips, activities, culinary discoveries and local favors, artisans and authentic punches, gives your guests a great taste of your destination wedding and something so precious to take home.

 

Creating a sensational scene

Which actually translates as the floral design you have always dreamed of, scoring the 5-star accommodation and venues that are your definition of perfection, getting to wear the designer dress you've always coveted, creating those dreamy invitations, and hiring that fabulous vintage ride to head to the aisle are much more plausible with a microwedding. Gone are the days when the success of a wedding was directly correlated to the guest count. Big is not always better. By scaling back on guests, you can save funds on food, deserts, a venue, table and chair rental, and more. And you don’t need to go as small as 15-20 people to start seeing cost savings! Many luxury venues are happy to help plan a smaller, more intimate day rather than an overly crowded event.

Spending quality time with your favorite people

When you have a guest-list of approximately 200 people spending quality time with anyone is rather impossible. As you will have people flying from all across the globe, you will barely find the time to exchange a few words before moving on to the next guest. A microwedding will definitely save you from worrying and you can still get to see all the people who mean so much to you, enjoy their company and join in with them throughout every activity you plan.

KIND WORDS

 

  • Maria worked around the clock with us to make our dream island wedding come true! We had a tight budget, a few cultural twists in our ceremony, some complicated logistics (and an anxious bride 2 hours before the wedding) and yet nothing was impossible. Forever grateful for Maria's dedication, hard work and organisation :) Highly recommended! Thank you so so much (and to your lovely ladies who were amazing throughout the whole weekend). Will miss working with you xxx

  • The best person to trust for this special day! I cannot recommend Maria and her team highly enough. Her expertise, support, attention to the detail, organization skills and taste allowed us to enjoy our day to the fullest. Thank you!

  • Planning a wedding is hard. Planning a wedding in Greece when you live in California is even harder. Unless  of course, you work with Maria and her incredible team at InEventive. My husband Chris and I used Maria to plan our wedding on the island of Paros this past August, and honestly - it was the best decision we ever made. She worked tirelessly with us over the course of 10 months to take our hopes and dreams and bring them to life. The absolute best photographers, videographers, dj’s in the business? Maria is friends with and works with them all. Florists that can take a minimalistic venue and have it dripping like the Garden of Eden? Table stakes. Ideas for how to take something ordinary and make it extraordinarily? She’s got hundreds. Want to take a boat from the church to your venue? No problem! Fireworks? Obviously...Handling the annoying things like paperwork and forms? She’ll hold your hand the whole way through. More importantly, Maria and her team go into absolute beast mode on the day of. Every single detail is covered, down to the smallest piece of minutia, so all you have to do is show up. Thanks to Maria, our wedding blew all of our expectations and our guests expectations out of the water. People are still talking to me about how it was hands down the most amazing wedding they had ever been to! If you’re thinking about working with her - take my word and just do it. You won’t regret it for a second. Maria - thank you SO MUCH, from the bottom of our hearts. You made the first day of the rest of our lives more beautiful and unforgettable than we could have ever dreamed. We are so grateful to have worked with you and your team!!

  • Best wedding planner/event designer!! 5/5!! She really understood our ideas and she has been extremely engaged and helpful! Would highly recommend to anyone planning an event and would definitely use again in future events!

    Carolina

  • I don't even know where to begin! Eternally grateful are the words that come to mind though. When a friend of mine started her wedding planning, I searched through instagram to help find her a wedding planner, which is how I came across Maria's page. The photos were absolutely stunning and I loved her style. Fast forward a few months and not only had I recommended Maria, purely based on photos to one friend, but I then chose to work with her for our own wedding and was very eager to share her with yet another friend of mine. That resulted in Maria planning 3 weddings within a 2 month time frame for 3 friends with very similar guest lists! I know I speak for all 3 of us when I say how happy we were with Maria's support. Each wedding was unique and perfectly reflected our styles and preferences. Maria was extremely responsive & supportive throughout the whole process. On top of that, I felt like she and her colleagues were more like family and I truly hope to stay in touch with them. I think the saddest part once the weddings were all over was having to say goodbye to them!

  • Excellent company!! World class!!

    Anita

  • Planning for a destination wedding is very stressful unless you have a trustful planner. Maria is the best. We were very lucky to find her for our destination wedding. She planned everything for us, and she followed all our ideas. The main reason I chose her beside her amazing taste was because I found her very honest. She sent me all the details of the job and made everything very clear from the first time I talked to her. She was always available during the whole year before our wedding; answering our questions, following our requests, and giving us useful recommendations. Also, she has many connections and works with the best in the industry.
    We will be grateful forever to work with her and we highly recommend her to everyone.
    Thank you Maria to make my big day so beautiful.

  • Maria helped make our dream wedding come true! We live in the States and wanted our wedding in Athens given my husband’s connection to Greece. Maria was great at taking care of everything remotely. Through many many emails (she was always responsive) and a few Skype calls, she managed to translate our vision into reality. My husband and I had the best night of our lives. Everything was beautiful and unforgettable. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking to plan their big day. Thanks Maria for your professionalism and creative eye!

    Jing

  • I recommend Maria and her team to anyone who is planning a wedding, or party! I live in D.C. and planned to have our wedding in Athens - Island Private House. Maria made the process so much less stressful and smooth! She was very flexible in scheduling Skype calls, and was able to work around my busy work schedule. She listened to what I wanted the wedding to look like, and delivered! The decor was perfect! The day of the wedding was hectic, and it is clear that Maria is a very busy person, however, she did her best to make sure I was able to enjoy the day. I highly recommend InEventive and Maria to anyone, particularly if you are planning from abroad!

  • I wanted to let you know how great of a job you did on our wedding day! And in fact it’s hard to know where to start: First of all Thank you for helping us out with all the little details on the wedding weekend and for being present on all three evenings. I could probably write a book about what good of a job everybody did on this weekend but in the end, YOU put it all in place and made sure everything turned out perfectly!! And most important you took all the pressure off my shoulders and tried being patient with that German girl that is having a Greek wedding. I cannot thank you enough for the great job you did!!! Nicholas and I wish you all the best for your future as the most professional wedding planner!

    Eva

  • Dear Maria, we are back in New York after our honeymoon and wanted to send you a note and thank you for helping us put together such a wonderful event! We loved working with you and really enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you. We certainly hope that we will have the opportunity to return to Athens and hope to work again with you if we are putting together another celebration in Greece.

    Vassi

  • Maria, I just wanted to express my appreciation again for all your amazing work that you did for Nicholas’ and Eva’s wedding.
