Your

Adventure Elopement

Wedding

Up a mountain – on a SUP – Parascending (ok, maybe not that one!) Is this where you dream your wedding ceremony could take place, but you don’t think it’s possible?

Think again!

You want a ceremony that’s entirely about you two – not one that has crowd-pleasing elements for the enjoyment of others at the expense of your own personal experience.

You want to avoid the overwhelm of planning a wedding – who to invite, where to have it, the stress of going over budget. But without losing any of the sense of occasion.

And you want it in an environment where your love belongs…

I’ve got you.

Weddings are so often designed for the enjoyment of the guests.

An elopement ceremony is created purely for your own experience and enjoyment.

An adventure elopement ceremony is taking it to a whole new level.

Let’s create a deeply personal experience, just for the two of you.

We have the freedom to choose the location, the time of day, the style and the content of the ceremony.

Are you ready for the most intensely romantic experience outside of the bedroom…

How we create your Wedding Ceremony in Greece

What’s the vision? What’s your ideal adventure location?

We will arrange a video call first and I will ask you both a few questions to get an idea in my mind for how you want the ceremony to feel.

‘What do you want your ceremony to feel like’ is one of the most important questions I ask you. This is how I will understand what ‘special’ means to you and how to shape the ceremony – and our adventure –  accordingly.

What if you can’t do what we want? (see Parascending above…)

We will find a solution. That could be me creating your ceremony for someone else to perform. Or it could be me learning a new activity!

We’ve ‘met’ and we all love each other. What’s next?

It’s not just me doing all the work here. This ceremony is all about you two – so I need the lowdown, the good the bad and the ugly, the wondrous moments that have led you to the momentous decision to share the rest of your lives together.

Don’t worry – my carefully honed questionnaires will get all the information I need. All I need from you is a little time investment to fill them out – don’t sweat it, you’ll love them!

Can we see the ceremony script?

Absolutely! You can look over everything from the first draft to the final copy. This way we can all be sure that the ceremony is everything you both imagined it to be – and then some!

Of course you can also put all your trust in me and hear it for the first time on the day, it’s up to you.

What about Wedding Vows?

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE CEREMONY! Sorry for the shouty caps, but there is no ceremony without wedding vows. You exchange them in any way that feels right to you, but you absolutely have to exchange them.

And if you are looking to write your own personal vows (Yay!) You can use my ‘4 Simple Steps to Writing Personal Wedding Vows’ or you can get one on one help from to craft them. Whatever you need.

Traditions and Symbolic acts

Let’s keep in the traditions you want (and like) and let’s NOT keep in the ones you don’t. How does that sound?

A wedding ceremony is jam-packed full of symbolism – just think wedding rings for a start. That never-ending, perfect circle placed on the third finger of your left hand where the Romans believed there was a vein connecting all the way to your heart.

When you book your ceremony you will receive my ‘All you need to know’ guide on wedding unity rituals. Explore everything from the Greek wedding crowns to Unity cocktails – find one that speaks to you!

Use my tried and tested ‘4 simple steps to writing awesome personal wedding vows’ to craft the best wedding vows possible. Or get one-on-one help from me to perfect your promises!

Overwhelm-free zone

I know there can be a lot to organise on top of actual, real, everyday life. You will probably also have a plethora of communications as well from your wedding planner or other wedding suppliers. So all our documents (questionnaires, invoices) are kept in your own portal which you can access any time.

All the resources for your ceremony (unity ritual guide, 4 simple steps to writing personal vows, Readings library) are waiting for you in the ‘Couples Lounge’ area on my website, a password-protected area just for my couples.

The legal standing of our ceremony

This is your wedding ceremony and does not include the legal registration of your marriage.  Celebrants in Greece (as in most of Europe) are not able to perform the legalities. Most couples choose to legally register the marriage in their country of residence. It’s also possible to combine the services of a Greek civil service (legal registration) with our wedding ceremony, but this can differ depending on the area. I can advise you on this when you tell me which amazing location you have chosen.

If you believe that your Elopement Ceremony should be an adventure…

You are in the right place.

Communication

Good communication is key – I am a native English speaker so nothing will get lost in translation.

There is no cap on our conversations either – we can email, message or skype as much as is needed.

The Big Day (and the day before)

Before you know it, it’s here! And you will both be as cool as cucumbers because we will have had a virtual walkthrough of the ceremony.

(Ok, you won’t be quite that cool because it will be roasting hot and you will be ridiculously excited because it’s going to be such a beautiful day. But you know what I mean)

How much does it cost?

The real answer to this is that it’s priceless.  Included in the price below are the following:

  • A ceremony created and written just for you so that your ceremony is as original and special as your love for each other
  • Me on the day to perform your ceremony! I never book more than one wedding per day so that my focus is 100% on your day

.
  • The ‘couples lounge’ – a password protected area on the website with a host of resources for you to access at any time: so that you can ponder unity rituals, reading, inspiration and advice at your leisure
  • One-on-one help with writing vows, if you want it

What’s the booking process and payment plan?

To book your date and start the ceremony creation process a 50% deposit is needed. You will get an agreement to digitally sign and when you’ve paid your deposit, we’ll get down to work!

The deposit payment is non-refundable, but I know life sometimes throws us a curveball (or a COVID) and if we need to change your date I will do so without extra cost to you at a new available date

Payment can be made by bank transfer (UK account) or by credit card

The balance is payable 4 weeks before the ceremony

We’re in! What’s next?
