Frequently
Asked Questions |
Q: Can I have a symbolic ceremony or a vows renewal with no
paperwork involved?
A: Yes! And
the ceremony is exactly the same as the legal wedding. Many
couples that happens to find difficulty with their
paperwork, they are getting married back home with by just
signing the papers at their town hall without taking the
ceremony part and then they come here and they have the
actual ceremony with the views of the ocean and the
breathtaking sunset and all these times, their guests don't
even know about it! |

Q: If IT IS two of us, do we need witnesses
for our wedding in Santorini?
Many couples come alone to Santorini. Some of
them want to avoid all the hassle and fuss of planning a
large wedding ceremony at home. If you come alone, without
wedding guests, we will provide necessary witnesses for your
wedding ceremony, at no additional charge |
Q:
When should I book my date? If I want to get married next
year, is it too soon?

destination the last 3 years and it is very hard to find
available the date you want even from 2 years from now. |

Authentication means that a seal is placed on the document

How many days before the wedding you need our paperwork?
A: The latest
30 days before the wedding BUT before you send them to us,

you if they are ok or if something is missing. If you send
them without our confirmation and the papers are not
correct, the wedding will be cancelled. |

for some reason our papers are not in your hands, what
happens?

your guests will not know the difference. |

Q:
What is the difference between a regular photographer and
videographer and a professional wedding photographer and
professional wedding videographer?
A: Most
people when they find their selves in front of a camera they
just freeze and do not know what to do! This is where are
professionals come in. They make sure to have a relaxed and
fun session with them and also our agency's professionals,
edit the photos and the video, what that means? In the
photos, if you have black circles under the eyes, or
wrinkles or moles or tattoos, we make them go and in the
photos you will look perfect and this type of editing is
offered only by us and not any other photographer in the
island. In the video, we add music and photos and we also
add discreet effects so your wedding DVD will be like a
Hollywood production! |

Q: Can I get married anywhere in Santorini?
A: No. although
Santorini is big, there are only a few places that we have
permission to use for civil ceremonies but it doesn't make a
difference because they all have the same magnificent view.
Regarding Oia though, you have to inform us from the
beginning if you wish to get married there, as it is a
different town hall with different paperwork required and
also you can see the sunset until the end as it sets behind
the mountain. The best places to get married in Santorini is
in Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli and Pyrgos caldera side.
