Event Planner in Mykonos

Events in Mykonos, planned on the island

Mykonos is one of the most exciting places in the world to throw a party, and one of the most demanding. Venues book early, suppliers are stretched in July and August, roads are narrow, and permits for music, catering and installations follow local rules. A good event here depends on a team that is on the island all season and knows how things actually work.

Kennedy's Group has an office in Mykonos and runs villas, concierge and events on the island. That means the same people who know which villa terrace can host a dinner for sixty also know which caterer, sound engineer and florist can deliver it on a Saturday in August.

What we plan

Private parties and villa celebrations

Birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties and family reunions, hosted at a private villa or a venue chosen for the occasion. We take care of the setting, the menu, the bar, the music and the guests' transport, so the hosts can enjoy their own party.

Proposals and intimate dinners

A sunset proposal on a private boat, a table for two on a hidden beach, or a dinner for close friends with a private chef. Small events need the same attention to detail as large ones, sometimes more.

Weddings and wedding weekends

Welcome drinks, the ceremony, the reception and the day-after pool party. Our wedding team plans complete wedding weekends on the island: see our Mykonos wedding planner page.

Corporate events and incentives

Company retreats, product launches, incentive trips and executive dinners, with accommodation, meeting space, transfers and activities in one plan. For larger programmes across Greece, see our destination management services.

Everything in one plan

• Venues: private villas, beach venues, restaurants with private areas, rooftops with views of the old town and the windmills.

• Food and drink: caterers, private chefs, mixologists, bartenders and waiting staff.

• Production: lighting, sound, stages, DJs and live music, décor, flowers and furniture hire.

• Guests: villa accommodation, airport and port transfers, yachts and boats for daytime programmes and helicopter transfers from Athens.

• Behind the scenes: permits, security, photographers and videographers, guest management and an on-site coordinator on the day.

How we work

1. The brief. Tell us the occasion, the number of guests, your dates and the feeling you want. A budget range helps us give realistic options from the start.

2. The proposal. We come back with venue options, a concept and a clear cost estimate.

3. Planning. We book the venue and suppliers, manage contracts and payments, and share a timeline you can follow.

4. The day. Our coordinators run the event on site, from the first delivery to the last transfer home, so you can be a guest at your own event.

When to plan

The season in Mykonos runs from May to October. For events in July and August, the best venues and suppliers book many months ahead, so for a large celebration we recommend starting the planning in the winter before. June and September are excellent alternatives: warm evenings, softer light, more availability and better value. Smaller dinners and proposals can often be arranged at shorter notice.

Stay where you celebrate

Many of our clients host the party at the villa they stay in. Browse our luxury villas in Mykonos with space for entertaining, or ask us to match a villa to your guest list. Our Mykonos concierge team then looks after the rest of the stay: boats, tables, transfers and everything in between.

A note on noise and permits

Mykonos has rules about amplified music, especially at private residences and late at night, and some locations need permits for catering, structures or fireworks. We check these rules for every venue during planning, so there are no surprises on the night and no problems with neighbours.

Ideas for a celebration in Mykonos

Every event we plan starts from the guests and the occasion, but a few formats work beautifully on the island:

• Sunset dinner on the terrace. A long table facing west, a private chef cooking Greek and Mediterranean dishes, and a string trio or a DJ as the light fades over the sea.

• Boat day for the group. Two or three yachts sailing together to the south coast and Delos, with swimming stops, lunch on board and music.

• White party at the villa. A dress code, a cocktail bar by the pool, a DJ and late-night food, with drivers taking guests home safely.

• Greek night. Live bouzouki music, traditional dishes, plate-breaking optional, in a rustic setting in the countryside of the island.

• Morning-after brunch. A relaxed pool brunch for everyone who made it, with juices, coffee and a hangover menu.

We can combine several of these into a weekend programme, so your guests feel looked after from the moment they land until they leave the island.
