Wedding Packages abroad Santorini – things to consider
Santorini is brimming with amazing suppliers, with many flocking to the island year on year to cater for the every growing wedding market. You can now get anything from donut walls to classic cars.
How to tailor your wedding packages abroad Santorini
However the rules in Santorini are quite strict when it comes to hiring suppliers, venues will typically only allow suppliers onsite that are fully registered and have paperwork to prove this. Paying in cash is never advised and it’s essential to have proof of your payments and contracts available for the wedding day (we suggest giving these to your wedding planner if you have one).
Packages Tailoring
As we mentioned in our previous article click here there are things in every package that most couples tailor make, such as the colour/style of flowers, menu and drinks packages and style and flavour of cake, so we’ve listed below some ideas outside of these to consider when tailoring your wedding packages abroad Santorini.
Flowers/Decoration
Make sure you understand what’s already included in your venue hire fee when it comes to furniture and decoration, some venues are quite generous and in others you’ll get the bare minimum. Things that you may wish to consider are
- Style of furniture – for example you may wish to upgrade the ordinary folded chairs to Chiavari or Ghost chairs.
- Table flowers – you might want to change the style of table centrepieces or the colour and type of flowers to match your theme.
- Gazebo – does yours come decorated? If not you may wish to consider adding tulle curtains or flowers on each post or along the top.
- Table plan stand – not essential as you can often find a table to display this on, but a nice addition if you have the budget, you can get both ornate and modern style table plan stands.
- Cushions/Carpets – chill out zones are becoming quite popular in Santorini, this involves setting up a comfy inviting area away from the loud music for guests to retire too for conversation.
Entertainment
- What music is includes in your wedding package? Santorini has lots of DJ’s and live musicians for hire, from harpist to saxophonists and pianists. Think about where in the day you wish to add music, for example live music at the ceremony ceremony or as background during dinner?
- Fireworks or floor sparklers – great for adding a bit sparkle to your evening! And relatively much cheaper than at home in the UK.
Photographer
- Do you wish to work with a specific photographer? Or have longer with them?
- Have you considered a pre or post wedding shoot? I’d love to see a ‘Trash the Dress’ Shoot in Santorini – maybe one day.
Videography
- One of the biggest regrets from a recent poll we ran was not having a videographer. Whilst nothing can replace amazing wedding photographs they don’t capture what is said during the ceremony or speeches. I for one forgot what I said during the ceremony as I was so emotional and caught up in the moment, I love watching our wedding video back.
- Drones are becoming increasingly popular in Santorini, our videographers will make sure you meet all the legal requirements needed to have a drone. They do make a fantastic addition to a wedding video. The views in Santorini are just tremendous.
