Choosing Greece as a wedding destination from the UK is popular for a number of reasons:
- Stunning Scenery: Greece offers breathtaking landscapes, from white-washed buildings overlooking the blue sea in Santorini to the lush green landscapes and beaches in places like Corfu and Zakynthos. These unique, picturesque settings make for beautiful wedding photos and a memorable experience.
- Reliable Weather: Greece boasts long, warm summers and generally mild weather, especially from late spring through early autumn. This makes it ideal for outdoor weddings, as there’s a higher chance of sunny, clear skies compared to the UK.
- Variety of Venues: Greece offers a wide range of venues, from luxury resorts to historic ruins, secluded beaches, and charming chapels. Whether you prefer a beach wedding, a cliffside ceremony, or something more traditional, Greece has options to suit various styles and preferences.
- Romantic History and Culture: Greece’s rich history, mythology, and warm culture can add a unique romantic appeal to your celebration. Many couples appreciate incorporating local traditions, music, and cuisine into their weddings, which can make the day even more special and memorable.
- Ease of Access: With numerous direct flights from the UK to Greece’s popular wedding destinations, it’s relatively easy for guests to travel. Many of these flights are budget-friendly, and the flight times are usually manageable, averaging about three to four hours.
- Affordable Luxury: In many cases, the costs of hosting a wedding in Greece can be more affordable than in the UK, especially if you’re looking for a luxury feel. High-quality vendors, catering, and accommodation often come at a more affordable rate, allowing couples to enjoy a lavish wedding experience within budget.
- Mini-Honeymoon Options: Many couples choose to stay in Greece for their honeymoon, making it convenient to move directly into vacation mode post-ceremony. Greece’s islands offer a variety of stunning honeymoon destinations, from vibrant nightlife in Mykonos to the tranquility of more remote islands.
- Wedding Packages and Planners: Greece has become such a popular destination for weddings that there are many planners and packages tailored to UK couples, making the process much easier. Many planners offer full-service support for foreign couples, handling logistics, paperwork, and venue arrangements.
