At
Christmas I asked Kevin if we could get married
earlier than we had originally planed. You see,
i have a cystic fibrosis and 3 years ago i had a
double lung transplant to save my life. Since
that time I have fallen in love with Kevin and
we have had many wonderful times. Now my lungs
are getting sick again. I don't know when but
soon my health will deteriorate and i will have
to wear oxygen and go to the hospital. Hopefully
i will be able to have another transplant and
Kevin and I, will have many, many years
together. It was so important to me that our
wedding be beautiful and happy. i wanted to get
married before i got sick. Anna and Kevin
planned a wonderful, beautiful wedding. Every
detail was planned and perfected in 3 short
months. We arrived in Santorini on Tuesday night
to a cold windy night. The next day the sun
shone brightly and the wind died down. Anna even
planned the weather perfectly. Nikos picked us
up in the morning and helped us to pick a
fantastic spot, completely unique and "us", to
be married at. He was a marvelous companion for
the morning and showed us the charm of his
island. The wedding was blessed by warm
sunshine, a beautiful sunset and the
perfectionism of Anna. It was everything we
hoped for and more. Words can't described what
Anna has done for us. She didn't even know
anything about my condition and that makes it
even more special because she has a way to make
you feel unique. No matter what happens in the
future, this will always be important memory for
us, we will cherish and remember in beautiful
pictures that Nikos has taken for us, i never
looked so good in a picture. Thank you both so
much for all your efforts and attentions. i was
worried i would miss my family on this day, but
the day was filled with nothing but happiness
and share laughter and food with our new
friends. Efharisto poli. Jenn.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have so many good things to say about how our
wedding was handled. Anna and her staff were
amazing!! We were searching for a very simple,
basic wedding and she made it extremely
memorable. We originally received Anna's contact
information through our hotel (the Ira Hotel in
Firostefani, very nice spot!!), and we chose her
services as she was the only person who took the
time to return my emails personally, and not
with packaged deals and 'pre-written' emails.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first, and
did a fair bit of background searching
to ensure that everything was
legitimate. I could not find anything to
suggest that it wasn't. I was quite
nervous about the whole procedure, and
was in fact advised by my travel agent
against a foreign wedding in Greece.
Anna ensured me it could be done, and
she made it happen!
Trying to plan the wedding in just a
couple of months, from thousands of km
away was intimidating, and I really
didn't think it would have been
possible, and it likely wouldn't have
been without Anna's hard work and
dedication. Both my wife and I were so
pleased with how personal she made the
ceremony, and well she and her
photographer treated us throughout the
day. I think that after only a couple of
conversations with her you will see how
passionate she is about her work, and
how hard she will work to ensure that
you have the ceremony that you want.
She
offered us everything we wanted, and did
it all efficiently, easily, and
extremely well.
A quick note on her photographer, he was
fantastic. Extremely friendly, very
casual, and easy to talk to and work
with. The pictures turned out extremely
well, and although I was nervous about
the quality of digital pictures for our
wedding, they are as good as you would
be able to get with print film (actually
better since we can edit them :)
I guess that's about all I can say. It
may be more than what you were looking
for, but its an important occasion, and
I just want you to know that if you go
with Anna you won't be disappointed.
Good luck with your wedding, and enjoy
Greece!! It's a gorgeous spot. Kevin

Anna,
Now that we've settled back in to working life,
I write this e-mail on behalf my wife and I to
personally thank you and your staff for a truly
amazing wedding day. YOU made our day so special
for us and our guests that our wedding day will
be remembered as one of those moments in life
where people wished time stood still..... I have
to be honest that I personally had grave doubts
about booking a wedding abroad as we had never
been to Santorini before! As a legally qualified
professional, it was very unlike me to take such
a risk and especially this day being the most
important day of our lives! But what can I say,
I had my doubts and reservations about getting
married abroad but my beautiful bride had done a
vast amount of research and decided to book
using your wedding services. And how right other
people's comments about you were! Anna, we felt
as though we'd known you for years, in fact it
was a though you were one of our special guests
rather than our wedding planner! That's how
right you got it!!! The key to success in
dealing with customers is telling them how it
is, straight, honest, and to the point, even if
the answer is not what you want to hear. This is
what you get from Anna.
For all of those people who are deciding to get
married in Santorini and plan to organize their
wedding themselves, we wholly endorse using Anna
as a wedding planner! The fact that Anna knows
everyone on the island extremely well means,
that as her client, you will get the best level
of service from all 3rd parties especially when
deciding where to book your reception! For the
cost of Anna's services your mind is at rest and
worth every Euro! I must also stress that our
reception at Pyrgos where Anna had arranged for
us to have the top tier of the restaurant capped
a truly amazing wedding day!
Thank you Anna for making our day so special.
The photo's were amazing so a massive thank you
also to Nikos! Oh I forgot to mention the
Wedding DVD... well what can we say, funny
emotional and an absolute classic, well put
together not to mention the music blended in at
the right moment! In some parts my wife and I
just burst in to tears! When this happens you
know you've done a good job! Who ever has the
ear for music you can't beat a bit of Lionel
Richie (Commodores Three Time a Lady) and Barry
White (just the way you are) to hit that
emotional spot! Brilliant!!!
All the very best to you and Nikos and to the
rest of your team who also helped on the day!
From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for
making our day the most memorable day of our
lives!
Love and Best Wishes

My husband and I were married on Santorini Island. We chose Anna to be our wedding planner through the internet as we live in the United States. This was the best decision we have made. Anna and Niko are very trust worthy, honest, professional, and detail oriented. Simply stated, they are good people. Anna is very organized and thorough. Our religious ceremony in a Greek church would not have been possible without Anna's assistance. There were many documents to be signed and dated. Anna did a very excellent job!!!I can not say enough about the service and care we were provided. Every detail was complete. Our wedding was Perfect!!!! There is not one change we
would make even today almost one year from our wedding day. We are so thankful we chose Anna. We feel truly blessed from above.

My fiancee,
Rachael, and I were married outside the Chapel
of Saint Irene on a warm, still, glowing evening
in mid September 2006, a night which for both of
us turned out to be everything we could ever
have hoped for and more, in short it was the
best night of our lives and it was entirely down
to Anna and her staff.
We began
planning our wedding in Early 2005 and soon
found Anna by way of emphatic word of mouth
recommendations on the web, having also made
contact with a couple who used Anna for their
wedding we decided that she was definitely the
planner we wanted and it has proven to be one of
the wisest decisions we have ever made.
We first met up
with Anna the day after we arrived on Santorini,
and from that moment any concerns or
reservations we may have had were firmly
allayed, she took us to the wedding and
reception venue and answered all our questions
with professionalism and empathy. We also
briefly met Nikos, her husband and photographer,
who courteously drove us back into Thira town
Centre despite it being only a short walk from
Anna's office.
On the day of
the wedding we had until 7pm for the
anticipation to build, which was more than
enough for me! As I didn't see Rachael all day
it made it all the more poignant when I did.
Precisely at the time specified Nikos & Katerina
pulled up at our hotels to take us to Saint
Irene Chapel.
When we arrived
the sun was just starting to dip on the horizon,
filling the sky with beautiful golden streaks of
light, as the champagne flowed and the musicians
played the atmosphere was nothing less than
perfect, Anna had got everything right, even
down to the exact colour of flowers that we had
requested, one of her assistants busied herself
constantly ensuring Rachael's train was properly
arranged everywhere she walked and Nikos
industriously snapped away with great humour and
ability, setting us all at ease and providing
some levity to such an emotional experience.
The reception at the Pyrgos taverna was
similarly memorable, the table had been
beautifully decorated and the staff were warm
and attentive.
Anna had
informed us that we'd receive our photos and
copies of the marriage register in approximately
3 weeks time and sure enough we did, the photos
were all beautiful, an absolutely stunning
record of a night I will remember forever.
Rachael and I both lived every moment of the
experience with such intensity and clarity, and
the fact we have these enduring and enchanting
memories are down to Anna, Nikos, Katerina & the
rest of the staff who all contributed to making
it the occasion it was.
It is critical
to choose the right person to help you arrange
such a momentous occasion and both my wife and I
are absolutely convinced that we couldn't have
had better than Anna so we both thank her from
the bottom of our hearts for everything she did
for us and we will be sure to visit her again
when we return to Santorini to celebrate our
wedding anniversary next year!
Thanks again
Anna
Love from us
both

You're a darling - thank you so much! I like the way you think. We are very much enjoying our married life thanks to you. Thank you for all your efforts! Reon
and I have been homesick for the island so I
expect we will see you next year!
Claire & Reon

You are a wonderful person Anna, if only there were more people like you on this earth it will be a much better place. You will not believe how we miss Santorini and would so much like to come there again and again.
Johan & Marlise

Hi Anna! I wish you and Nikos well. We can't thank you enough of what you have done for us. We are happy Nikos appears in one of the wedding photos we have posted on our website. People ask us who he is, and we say he was a very nice man who was there to witness our wedding! We both still very much appreciate your staying around with us at Santo Winery after our ceremony -- it was fun talking with both of you and just kind of soaking it all in -- not feeling rushed. That meant a lot to us!
Danny and Susanne

Your clients won't know how
fortunate they are to have you until
after their wedding, just as we
found out. When I found you via the
internet, I had never imagined that
you'd be so attentive & personally
invested in our wedding day ~ thank
you for your kind care & attention,
even after the fact. Thank you for
your patience & your "hand holding".
Blessings,
Monique

We miss you and your kind heart and smile. Our marriage is blessed because we had a wonderful person like you to make it happen. we will never forget you.

Dear Anna & Nikos,
I have just been (1-9-2006) browsing through your wedding-site. It's getting better all the time! We found a testimonial we wrote 3 years ago right after our marriage.... don't you dare change it because every word we wrote was very true ....but we feel obliged to add some more....
The fact that your agency isn't only very proffesional and can deliver more than the promise.. Skip all the sales and aftersales....the shere proof of your warmth,dedication and sincerity lays in the fact that even after more than 3 years (we got married in Imerovegli 10-5-2003) we still have contact, we still email regularly, we have dinner together every time we are on the island and we consider you 2 as friends forever... Is there any better proof?
It all has been a wonderful experience for us and our family. We will cherish the memories for the rest of our lives!
Love forever,
Ronnie & Robbert from Holland

Lovely Anna I am very happy to hear from you!!!! Me and Milos are fine but we miss everything in Santorini especially because we are fully aware that such a meeting will never happen again!!! It was so marvelous to have all the people we loved around us that every time we see the video or watch the pictures we look at each other eyes and still feel so emotional that i cannot tell!! It was great really and I can tell you that everything was exactly as I wanted it to be! Thank you again Anna for the passion and the love you put in everything.

Dear Anna,We are now home! We wanted to
write to you to thank you for making our
wedding the most perfect occasion. There is
not one single thing we would change and we
owe a lot of this to you. Everyone has been
talking about it and saying that it has been
the best wedding they have attended and it
felt so special both the location,
restaurant and the whole organization. I
hope you are having an easier time now the
wedding season should be quieter, the photos
you took of us were amazing so please thank
Nikos and also the DVD are such happy
memories. As I work in the same industry I
know how hard it can be and all the
organization that is required and I am such
a perfectionist, but I had nothing to worry
about. The whole event was great and I wish
we could do it all over again, obviously
with the same husband! So please accept our
great thanks for the best event of our life,
I would be happy to recommend you if you
ever needed me to do so.
Thank you again & best wishes
Vickie & Aaron

Hi Anna
Just wanted to send you a note to say thank
you for all your help with our wedding.
All our guests thought it was the most
amazing wedding they had ever been to.
Thank you for your suggestion about the
ceremony location. We couldn't have asked
for a more perfect setting. We would also
like to thank Nikos. Everything was very
relaxed and I think it shows in the
pictures. I
would recommend that anyone getting married
on Santorini should contact you. Thank you
for everything, our wedding would not have
been so amazing without your knowledge,
expertise and attention to detail. I hope
you are enjoying your holiday and have taken
the boys to the beach for 5 hours each day
as promised.
Kind Regards
Claire & Stephen Steele

Hi Anna,
How are you?? Raymond and I have been back to HK
for a few days but since we are very busy to
entertain different relatives and friends,
therefore, I can write my first email to you
only now. We would like to say "Thank you" to
you again as the Wedding in Santorini really
gives us a very very happy and romantic memory.
Besides, pls also say "Thank you" to Nicolas and
the video man coz their photos and video are so
excellent....all of our friends said that the
photos and video are Great!!! Again, thank you
very much and should we have any chance to come
to Santorini again, we will come and visit you
guys.
Keep in touch!!

WOW, it is weird to write to you know that
we have met. I have sat here in this same
spot and written to you a thousand times and
now it is different.
My Dear Anna,
Thank you is the first thing to tell you.
Everyone who saw our photos of the wedding
wrote to me that they either had tears in
their eyes or it made them cry or that it
was so beautiful that it made them tear up.
Second thing to tell you is thank you. They
day was flawless. I pinch myself to
remember that it was all real.
Sending Big Big Hugs!
All my love and hugs to you.
Laura

Thank you Anna, thank
you, thank you! Our Vow Renewal ceremony
was spectacular! My wife is telling all
our friends how wonderful you were. The
musicians were truly delightful and the site
you selected for the occasion was absolutely
beautiful. We are already planning a
return visit just to spend some days on
Santorini and tour the Island.
|
 |
now that
we've come down to earth after our
wonderful trip we thought we'd drop you
a quick message. We wish to thank you
for having organised the most important
event in our lives so well. Considering
that we live in Australia & all the
arrangements with you were made
long-distance - you deserve the highest
of praises for having done such a great
job!
Everything
was perfect, the ceremony SO romantic,
the setting was dreamy, & the photos
are amazing! EVERYONE loves the photos -
even the most critical family members
(we all have those...) were full of
praise & asking for copies. Many have
said that the background is so perfect
that it looks like a movie set, or one
of those fake curtain backdrops that you
pull down...
All the
best to you and the team, Anna.

Hi Anna

Hi Anna! Hope everything is wonderful on
the other side of the world, Paradise!
While we're all working away and dreaming of
Santorini, you're living it! I'm so
envious!!! We had such an amazing trip,
I want to thank you from the bottom of
my heart for all that you did to make
our day so special, it was PERFECT! I
couldn't have asked for more and I
wouldn't change a thing.
Also, thanks again for all of your
recommendations ie. airlines, hotels,
villas, ferries, flowers, restaurants,
etc. Everything you suggested was
super! I especially loved our villa and
the Grecotel in Mykonos, what a fun
island!
If you ever need a recommendation for
potential couples getting married on the
island, I would be happy to tell the
couple about our experience. I hope
you're enjoying your summer, busy I'm
sure.
Efaristo!
Thanks again and again!
Thank You,
Lisa

Hi Anna, Nikos
Thats us home
and settled into married life. Cant believe
that the wedding is all over, it was truly
the best day of our life's and its all
thanks to all of you at Santorini
Weddings. We have watched our DVD about a
million times !!! it is amazing and the
photos are also fantastic. I think you have
given us about 240 photos which is more than
we ever could have hoped for so thank you
and each and every one of them is
brilliant. The whole day was perfect from
start to finish and we could not have wished
for a more spectacular sunset. All our
friends and family have seen the photos and
watched the DVD and there were lots of
tears. I just wish we could come back and
do it all again. We will definately be
retruning to Santorini and we will come and
visit you to say hello. Good luck for the
future and keep up the good work, you all do
an absolutely amazing job and are lovely
people and I was so lucky to have you

Anna,
Matt and I are back home in
London now and missing the beauty of
Santorini. Our honeymoon in Crete was fun
and Matt got his diving certificate, so he's
feeling very proud right now!
Thank you so much for an
amazing location, a stress free and
beautiful wedding ceremony and for being so
lovely and helpful when we met up with you.
I've been printing off photos like mad to
show to people and they all agree it was an
incredible place to have a wedding!
Thank you a thousand times
for creating a day that surpassed all my
dreams.

Hi Anna
Thank
you for the kind words! =)
I felt very beautiful....
We are on honeymoon now in Denmark/Copenhagen.
Beautiful city.
We have watched the DVD many times (already),
the movie is beautiful.
We where very happy with the photos. As you
know I was very nervous that the photos
wouldn't turn out good. The photographer was
amassing. He has taken so many good photos, we
can't decide witch one to enlarge.
Best regards

Dearest
Anna,
I can't
thank you and Nikkos enough for organizing
such a beautiful wedding. Everything was
more than perfect and by far exceeded any of
our expectations. There can be no setting
more beautiful in the whole world and
certainly the best start for any married
couple! Your organizational skills are
exceptional so much so that we were all so
relaxed and enjoyed absolutely every
moment. Nikkos too is a lovely gentleman
and we can't wait to see his photos and of
course the DVD.
Bless you
Anna and your husband for all that you did
for us.
Take care,
Debra

Here are some pictures from the wedding
we had there last year on July 28th,

Dear
Anna,
Both
Jade and I would like to thank You,
Nikos, Katerina and your team for all
the hard work you put in to making our
dream wedding come true. The setup
outside Vila Irini, the Musicians, the
Celebrant, the flowers and decor were
all fantastic. Pyrgos restaurant lived
up to its expectations. The food, its
own produced wine were delicious. The
atmosphere was Electric. Even the
waiters joined in ! The photos are
dream-like and totally capture the mood
of our special day. All our family and
friends are still talking about it. The
proof is in the pudding as we say... we
started before Sunset and finished after
Sunrise - that is what I call a Party...
We wish we were still in Santorini and
are yearning to come back ! You have
been more than a friend to us.
Love Alvaro & Jade

Dear Anna,
We
have finally gotten back to a "somewhat" normal
life here and wanted to let you know how amazing
it was to be married in Fira. We could not have
imagined how wonderfully romantic our wedding
with you could be. We were so taken with the
vows we said on Santorini that we are using them
here in our church ceremony!
What a wonderful gift you have given us to
start our life together.
The warmth and kindness you showed us will be
remembered always! Thank you so very much for
all your help and guidance.
Fondly,
Bill and Nanci Slattery

Hello again Anna,
I just want to start by thanking you
again for all of your help during the planning
of our honeymoon. From the hotel that you
recommended (and the price that you got me!) to
your great communication and prompt e-mails, I
was really thrilled with everything that you did
for us. We absolutely loved Santorini, the room
and the views were perfect!
I will not hesitate in the future to
mention your name and recommend your services if
anyone I know plans to travel to the island, and
rest assured that Sara and I will use your
company for our next Santorini vacation, you are
the best! I wish the best for you and your
family,
Steven & Sara |
