Wedding on the continent

fizzypish

Hi,
My partner and I are looking to get married on the continent (Greece or Portugal have been mentioned). I'm looking for a company that might facilitate this? Any ideas or suggestions appreciated. Civil ceremony / non religious of any kind is probably the only stipulation. It'll be a pretty small crew too (I hope). My lady is enamored with the idea of getting married near a beach. Over looking, not necessarily on it.
Fizzy.

Hey fizzypish - would recommend finding a wedding planner or going through a hotel. May or may not be helpful but I got married in France and wrote a bit about it. https://diaryofdionysus.com/getting-married-in-france-guide/

Here's an old post of mine, they no longer do the boat wedding but you can get married on cameo island, Athena is a top lady and as a wedding planner did everything for us, here's a link to their FB page

We were married in Greece (Zante) in Sept 2009 and it was the best thing we ever done.
Most of my family were coming over from Wales, hers are from here, told them the plan was Greece and they loved it, took 30 guests over

We paid 4,000 Euro for all of this, we actually got married on a boat on a 3hr cruise around Turtle Island (it's not mentioned below but on the link it says it can be added), actually i just looked through this list and we also had a 4 course meal with a live band. I think the next year they bumped this price up to 5k, they must have taken a bit of a hit as we got soooo much

The lady who runs it all is Athena and she was spot on, my wife just exchanged emails with what she wanted (types of flowers etc) and she sorted everything, we just had to turn up.

If you want any more info, or even see some pics just ask
