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

witnesses for your wedding ceremony, at no additional
charge |

book my date? If I want to get married next year, is it too
soon?

you want even from 2 years from now. |

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.
