We have envisioned a formal wedding where all of our guests wear black. This feels natural to us and helps create the aesthetic we’ve imagined. Black-tie is not required, but we kindly ask that attire remain formal and not casual.
We understand that Greece is a special destination and many of you may wish to make it a family trip. While children are welcome to attend, our venue is on a cliff and the wedding will be a formal event. For everyone’s safety and to ensure the celebration runs smoothly, we kindly ask that all children remain supervised by an adult at all times.
We are keeping our wedding in Greece very small and intimate, with a carefully selected guest list. This means that, for the wedding itself, we kindly ask that only invited guests attend. Of course, you’re still welcome to bring friends or family to Greece to enjoy the trip with you! If you’d like to discuss this further, we’re happy to chat. We also plan to celebrate with a larger wedding shower in the U.S., where all our family and friends can join in the festivities.
As mentioned, we encourage you to make this trip your own and turn Greece into your dream getaway! We do recommend arriving one to two days before the wedding to give yourself time to settle in and adjust. For example, the wedding is on a Monday, we plan to arrive on Friday.
As mentioned on the previous page, there are several accommodation options to choose from in Greece. We’ve curated a list of recommended hotels and Airbnbs that we feel will be the best fit for our guests and conveniently located for the wedding festivities. Because many of you may be planning your own travel throughout Greece — whether spending a few days in Athens and then heading off to explore the islands — we have not reserved a formal room block. We hope this gives everyone flexibility to create an itinerary that fits your plans. We know that planning a trip to Greece can feel overwhelming, and we’re more than happy to help! If your considering an accommodation and have additional questions, feel free to send it our way and we can help you get your answers. We’re here to help with recommendations, logistics, and any part of your trip planning.
We truly want to make the most of our time together in Greece. Instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner, we’re planning a group dinner or brunch for everyone there, along with an optional additional event for anyone who’d like to join. Since our wedding will be small and intimate, we’ll also be hosting a Wedding Shower in the U.S. ahead of time in lieu of a traditional bridal shower. We can’t wait to celebrate together—both at home and in Greece!
Greece is 7 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Standard Time. A helpful travel tip to reduce jet lag is to book an overnight flight and try to stay awake until nighttime once you arrive. This can make adjusting to the time difference much easier.
In Greece, the local currency is the Euro (€). When planning your trip, please be sure to adjust prices to your own currency. You can also exchange money upon arrival at the airport.
