Below you will read some reviews from our clients. In some reviews there are no photos as it is from 2006 couples and we didn't have time to publish their photos yet but we will by the end of this year.

Thank you all for your good words!

At Christmas I asked Kevin if we could get married earlier than we had originally planed. You see, i have a cystic fibrosis and 3 years ago i had a double lung transplant to save my life. Since that time I have fallen in love with Kevin and we have had many wonderful times. Now my lungs are getting sick again. I don't know when but soon my health will deteriorate and i will have to wear oxygen and go to the hospital. Hopefully i will be able to have another transplant and Kevin and I, will have many, many years together. It was so important to me that our wedding be beautiful and happy. i wanted to get married before i got sick. Anna and Kevin planned a wonderful, beautiful wedding. Every detail was planned and perfected in 3 short months. We arrived in Santorini on Tuesday night to a cold windy night. The next day the sun shone brightly and the wind died down. Anna even planned the weather perfectly. Nikos picked us up in the morning and helped us to pick a fantastic spot, completely unique and "us", to be married at. He was a marvelous companion for the morning and showed us the charm of his island. The wedding was blessed by warm sunshine, a beautiful sunset and the perfectionism of Anna. It was everything we hoped for and more. Words can't described what Anna has done for us. She didn't even know anything about my condition and that makes it even more special because she has a way to make you feel unique. No matter what happens in the future, this will always be important memory for us, we will cherish and remember in beautiful pictures that Nikos has taken for us, i never looked so good in a picture. Thank you both so much for all your efforts and attentions. i was worried i would miss my family on this day, but the day was filled with nothing but happiness and share laughter and food with our new friends. Efharisto poli. Jenn.

I have so many good things to say about how our wedding was handled. Anna and her staff were amazing!! We were searching for a very simple, basic wedding and she made it extremely memorable. We originally received Anna's contact information through our hotel (the Ira Hotel in Firostefani, very nice spot!!), and we chose her services as she was the only person who took the time to return my emails personally, and not with packaged deals and 'pre-written' emails.

Honestly, I was skeptical at first, and did a fair bit of background searching to ensure that everything was legitimate. I could not find anything to suggest that it wasn't. I was quite nervous about the whole procedure, and was in fact advised by my travel agent against a foreign wedding in Greece. Anna ensured me it could be done, and she made it happen!

Trying to plan the wedding in just a couple of months, from thousands of km away was intimidating, and I really didn't think it would have been possible, and it likely wouldn't have been without Anna's hard work and dedication. Both my wife and I were so pleased with how personal she made the ceremony, and well she and her photographer treated us throughout the day. I think that after only a couple of conversations with her you will see how passionate she is about her work, and how hard she will work to ensure that you have the ceremony that you want. She offered us everything we wanted, and did it all efficiently, easily, and extremely well.

A quick note on her photographer, he was fantastic. Extremely friendly, very casual, and easy to talk to and work with. The pictures turned out extremely well, and although I was nervous about the quality of digital pictures for our wedding, they are as good as you would be able to get with print film (actually better since we can edit them :)

I guess that's about all I can say. It may be more than what you were looking for, but its an important occasion, and I just want you to know that if you go with Anna you won't be disappointed. Good luck with your wedding, and enjoy Greece!! It's a gorgeous spot. Kevin



My husband and I were married on Santorini Island. We chose Anna to be our wedding planner through the internet as we live in the United States.  This was the best decision we have made. Anna and Niko are very trust worthy, honest, professional, and  detail oriented.  Simply stated, they are good people. Anna is very organized and thorough.  Our religious ceremony in a Greek church would not have been possible without Anna's assistance. There were many documents to be signed and dated.  Anna did a very excellent job!!!I can not say enough about the service and care we were provided.  Every detail was complete.  Our wedding was Perfect!!!!  There is not one change we would make  even today almost one year from our wedding day. We  are so thankful we chose Anna.  We feel truly blessed from above.  Laurie and john

My fiancee, Rachael, and I were married outside the Chapel of Saint Irene on a warm, still, glowing evening in mid September 2006, a night which for both of us turned out to be everything we could ever have hoped for and more, in short it was the best night of our lives and it was entirely down to Anna and her staff.

We began planning our wedding in Early 2005 and soon found Anna by way of emphatic word of mouth recommendations on the web, having also made contact with a couple who used Anna for their wedding we decided that she was definitely the planner we wanted and it has proven to be one of the wisest decisions we have ever made.

We first met up with Anna the day after we arrived on Santorini, and from that moment any concerns or reservations we may have had were firmly allayed, she took us to the wedding and reception venue and answered all our questions with professionalism and empathy. We also briefly met Nikos, her husband and photographer, who courteously drove us back into Thira town Centre despite it being only a short walk from Anna's office.
On the day of the wedding we had until 7pm for the anticipation to build, which was more than enough for me! As I didn't see Rachael all day it made it all the more poignant when I did. Precisely at the time specified Nikos & Katerina pulled up at our hotels to take us to Saint Irene Chapel.

When we arrived the sun was just starting to dip on the horizon, filling the sky with beautiful golden streaks of light, as the champagne flowed and the musicians played the atmosphere was nothing less than perfect, Anna had got everything right, even down to the exact colour of flowers that we had requested, one of her assistants busied herself constantly ensuring Rachael's train was properly arranged everywhere she walked and Nikos industriously snapped away with great humour and ability, setting us all at ease and providing some levity to such an emotional experience.  The reception at the Pyrgos taverna was similarly memorable, the table had been beautifully decorated and the staff were warm and attentive.

Anna had informed us that we'd receive our photos and copies of the marriage register in approximately 3 weeks time and sure enough we did, the photos were all beautiful, an absolutely stunning record of a night I will remember forever. Rachael and I both lived every moment of the experience with such intensity and clarity, and the fact we have these enduring and enchanting memories are down to Anna, Nikos, Katerina & the rest of the staff who all contributed to making it the occasion it was.

It is critical to choose the right person to help you arrange such a momentous occasion and both my wife and I are absolutely convinced that we couldn't have had better than Anna so we both thank her from the bottom of our hearts for everything she did for us and we will be sure to visit her again when we return to Santorini to celebrate our wedding anniversary next year!


Thanks again Anna

Love from us both

David & Rachael Ellwood


You're a darling - thank you so much! I like the way you think. We are very much enjoying our married life thanks to you. Thank you for all your efforts!  Reon and I have been homesick for the island so I expect we will see you next year! Claire & Reon

You are a wonderful person Anna, if only there were more people like you on this earth it will be a much better place. You will not believe how we miss Santorini and would so much like to come there again and again. Johan & Marlise

Hi Anna! I wish you and Nikos well. We can't thank you enough of what you have done for us. We are happy Nikos appears in one of the wedding photos we have posted on our website. People ask us who he is, and we say he was a very nice man who was there to witness our wedding! We both still very much appreciate your staying around with us at Santo Winery after our ceremony -- it was fun talking with both of you and just kind of soaking it all in -- not feeling rushed. That meant a lot to us! Danny and Susanne

Your clients won't know how fortunate they are to have you until after their wedding, just as we found out. When I found you via the internet, I had never imagined that you'd be so attentive & personally invested in our wedding day ~ thank you for your kind care & attention, even after the fact. Thank you for your patience & your "hand holding".
Blessings,
Monique

We miss you and your kind heart and smile. Our marriage is blessed because we had a wonderful person like you to make it happen. we will never forget you. Stan and Gwen


It all has been a wonderful experience for us and our family. We will cherish the memories for the rest of our lives. Thanks again for your assistance! Ronnie and Robbert
Dear Anna & Nikos,
 
I have just been (1-9-2006) browsing through your wedding-site. It's getting better all the time! We found a  testimonial we wrote 3 years ago right after our marriage.... don't you dare change it because every word we wrote was very true ....but we feel obliged to add some more....
The fact that your agency isn't only very proffesional and can deliver more than the promise.. Skip all the sales and aftersales....the shere proof of your warmth,dedication and sincerity lays in the fact that even after more than 3 years (we got married  in Imerovegli 10-5-2003) we still have contact, we still email regularly, we have dinner together every time we are on the island and we consider you 2 as friends forever... Is there any better proof?
 
Love forever,
 
Ronnie & Robbert from Holland


Lovely Anna I am very happy to hear from you!!!!  Me and Milos are fine but we miss everything in Santorini especially because we are fully aware that such a meeting will never happen again!!! It was so marvelous to have all the people we loved around us that every time we see the video or watch the pictures we look at each other eyes and still feel so emotional that i cannot tell!! It was great really and I can tell you that everything was exactly as I wanted it to be! Thank you again Anna for the passion and the love you put in everything.

Dear Anna,We are now home! We wanted to write to you to thank you for making our wedding the most perfect occasion. There is not one single thing we would change and we owe a lot of this to you. Everyone has been talking about it and saying that it has been the best wedding they have attended and it felt so special both the location, restaurant and the whole organization. I hope you are having an easier time now the wedding season should be quieter, the photos you took of us were amazing so please thank Nikos and also the DVD are such happy memories. As I work in the same industry I know how hard it can be and all the organization that is required and I am such a perfectionist, but I had nothing to worry about. The whole event was great and I wish we could do it all over again, obviously with the same husband! So please accept our great thanks for the best event of our life, I would be happy to recommend you if you ever needed me to do so.

Thank you again & best wishes

Vickie & Aaron


Hi Anna
 
Just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for all your help with our wedding.  
All our guests thought it was the most amazing wedding they had ever been to.  Thank you for your suggestion about the ceremony location.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting. We would also like to thank Nikos.  Everything was very relaxed and I think it shows in the pictures. I would recommend that anyone getting married on Santorini should contact you. Thank you for everything, our wedding would not have been so amazing without your knowledge, expertise and attention to detail. I hope you are enjoying your holiday and have taken the boys to the beach for 5 hours each day as promised.
 
Kind Regards
 
Claire & Stephen Steele

We received the photographs and video – absolutely BEAUTIFUL.  They’re just PERFECT!!  -I think they’d be a great addition to your website (ha-ha :-) 

Anyway, thank you again – everything was truly amazing – memories I will carry with me for a lifetime.

Your friend,

~Barbara


Hi Anna,

How are you?? Raymond and I have been back to HK for a few days but since we are very busy to entertain different relatives and friends, therefore, I can write my first email to you only now. We would like to say "Thank you" to you again as the Wedding in Santorini really gives us a very very happy and romantic memory.  Besides, pls also say "Thank you" to Nicolas and the video man coz their photos and video are so excellent....all of our friends said that the photos and video are Great!!! Again, thank you very much and should we have any chance to come to Santorini again, we will come and visit you guys.

Keep in touch!!

BR/bonnie & Raymond


WOW, it is weird to write to you know that we have met.  I have sat here in this same spot and written to you a thousand times and now it is different.

My Dear Anna,

Thank you is the first thing to tell you.  Everyone who saw our photos of the wedding wrote to me that they either had tears in their eyes or it made them cry or that it was so beautiful that it made them tear up.   Second thing to tell you is thank you.  They day was flawless.  I pinch myself to remember that it was all real. 

Sending Big Big Hugs!

All my love and hugs to you.

Laura



Thank you Anna, thank you, thank you!   Our Vow Renewal ceremony was spectacular!   My wife is telling all our friends how wonderful you were.   The musicians were truly delightful and the site you selected for the occasion was absolutely beautiful.   We are already planning a return visit just to spend some days on Santorini and tour the Island.

Hello Anna,

now that we've come down to earth after our wonderful trip we thought we'd drop you a quick message. We wish to thank you for having organised the most important event in our lives so well. Considering that we live in Australia & all the arrangements with you were made long-distance  - you deserve the highest of praises for having done such a great job!

Everything was perfect, the ceremony SO romantic, the setting was dreamy, & the photos are amazing! EVERYONE loves the photos - even the most critical family members (we all have those...) were full of praise & asking for copies. Many have said that the background is so perfect that it looks like a movie set, or one of those fake curtain backdrops that you pull down... 

All the best to you and the team, Anna. 

Kindest regards,

Violetta & Chris

Hi Anna!  Hope everything is wonderful on the other side of the world, Paradise!  While we're all working away and dreaming of Santorini, you're living it!  I'm so envious!!!  We had such an amazing trip,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did to make our day so special, it was PERFECT!  I couldn't have asked for more and I wouldn't change a thing. 
Also, thanks again for all of your recommendations ie. airlines, hotels, villas, ferries, flowers, restaurants, etc.  Everything you suggested was super!  I especially loved our villa and the Grecotel in Mykonos, what a fun island! 
 
If you ever need a recommendation for potential couples getting married on the island, I would be happy to tell the couple about our experience.  I hope you're enjoying your summer, busy I'm sure. 
 
Efaristo!

Thanks again and again! 

Thank You,
Lisa

Matt and I are back home in London now and missing the beauty of Santorini. Our honeymoon in Crete was fun and Matt got his diving certificate, so he's feeling very proud right now!
 
Thank you so much for an amazing location, a stress free and beautiful wedding ceremony and for being so lovely and helpful when we met up with you. I've been printing off photos like mad to show to people and they all agree it was an incredible place to have a wedding!

Dearest Anna,
 
I can't thank you and Nikkos enough for organizing such a beautiful wedding.  Everything was more than perfect and by far exceeded any of our expectations.  There can be no setting more beautiful in the whole world and certainly the best start for any married couple!  Your organizational skills are exceptional so much so that we were all so relaxed and enjoyed absolutely every moment.  Nikkos too is a lovely gentleman and we can't wait to see his photos and of course the DVD. 
 
Bless you Anna and your husband for all that you did for us.
 
Take care,
Debra

Here are some pictures from the wedding we had there last year on July 28th, 2005.  It was beautiful and has created a lot of unforgetable memories for us.  Thank-you for making that come true for us.  Hope you like some of the pics!

Dear Anna,
Both Jade and I would like to thank You, Nikos, Katerina and your team for all the hard work you put in to making our dream wedding come true. The setup outside Vila Irini, the Musicians, the Celebrant, the flowers and decor were all fantastic. Pyrgos restaurant lived up to its expectations. The food, its own produced wine were delicious. The atmosphere was Electric. Even the waiters joined in ! The photos are dream-like and totally capture the mood of our special day. All our family and friends are still talking about it. The proof is in the pudding as we say... we started before Sunset and finished after Sunrise - that is what I call a Party...
We wish we were still in Santorini and are yearning to come back ! You have been more than a friend to us.
Love Alvaro & Jade
 

 

photo coming soon. Dear Anna,

We have finally gotten back to a "somewhat" normal life here and wanted to let you know how amazing it was to be married in Fira. We could not have imagined how wonderfully romantic our wedding with you could be. We were so taken with the vows we said on Santorini that we are using them here in our church ceremony!

What a wonderful gift you have given us to start our life together.

The warmth and kindness you showed us will be remembered always! Thank you so very much for all your help and guidance.

Fondly,

Bill and Nanci Slattery

We will always have fond memories of our time in Santorini!
