Santorini Wedding Planner

Why couples choose Santorini

Santorini is one of the most romantic places in the world to get married. The villages of Oia, Fira and Imerovigli sit on the rim of a volcanic caldera, with the sea hundreds of metres below and sunsets that turn the whole island gold and pink. A ceremony here needs very little decoration: the view does most of the work.

The island is also compact and well connected, with an airport and a port, so guests can arrive directly from Athens and many European cities, or continue to other islands after the wedding.

The kind of wedding Santorini suits

Santorini is at its best for intimate and medium-sized weddings: a ceremony at sunset, a dinner with the caldera in front of you, and a party that continues into the night. Space on the cliffs is limited, so very large weddings need careful planning and the right venue. We will tell you honestly what works for your guest list.

Ceremonies with a view

Caldera terraces, chapels, private villas and beach settings on the quieter side of the island each give a different feeling. We help you choose the place that fits your style, the time of day and the size of your group.

Wedding dinners and parties

From long tables under the stars to cocktail receptions on a terrace, the dinner is designed around your guests: Greek dishes, island wines, live music or a DJ, and the details that make the evening yours.

How Kennedy's Group plans your Santorini wedding

We manage every detail: the venue, the design and flowers, the entertainment, the catering and the logistics for every guest. You have one wedding planner and one point of contact from the first call to the day after the wedding.

Planning before you arrive

We start with your dates, guest numbers and the atmosphere you want, then propose venues and a design. Decisions are shared with you step by step, so you always know what has been booked and what is next.

Design, flowers and music

Florals, lighting, tableware and décor are designed to work with Santorini's white and blue palette or to stand out against it. Musicians, DJs and performances complete the evening.

Guests and logistics

In Santorini, logistics matter: narrow streets, steps and busy evenings in high season. We plan transfers, timings and guest support so that everyone arrives relaxed and on time. Kennedy's Group can also arrange accommodation, boat trips and concierge services for your guests during their stay.

Before and after the wedding

Most couples turn a Santorini wedding into a few days of celebration: a welcome drink, a sailing day around the caldera, the wedding itself and a farewell brunch. Some continue with a honeymoon on another island such as Mykonos or Paros. We can plan the whole trip.

Choosing your spot on the island

Each part of Santorini gives a wedding a different character. Oia is famous for its sunsets and its blue domes, and is the most romantic and the busiest. Imerovigli and Firostefani, on the highest point of the caldera, are quieter, with wide views over the volcano. Fira is the lively centre of the island, close to restaurants and transport. The south and east coasts, with their black and red beaches and wineries, are calmer and offer more space for larger gatherings.

A simple planning timeline

Twelve to eighteen months before: choose your date and venue; summer evenings on the caldera are reserved early. Nine to six months before: confirm design, flowers, music and dinner, and book accommodation for your guests. Three months before: finalise transfers, the programme and the timings, which matter more in Santorini than almost anywhere else because of the sunset. In the final weeks your planner confirms every supplier, and on the day we are there to make sure everything happens as planned.
