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! |

Authentication means that a seal is placed on the document which
will be recognized in the foreign country where the document

Q: 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 have to fax them or email them to check them and tell
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. |

Q: If for some reason our papers are not in your hands, what
happens?
A:
The wedding will be either cancelled or you can have a symbolic
ceremony which is exactly as the regular wedding ceremony but it
will not be legal, it will be like vows renewal but 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.
