Cancellation Policy, Cookies Policy & Terms of booking.
- If you are having a legal wedding, you need to follow the legal requirements per http://www.santoriniweddings.com/legal
- If you have any questions or if you find any issues in the process of getting your wedding documents, please don’t hesitate to ask me atĀ annasantorini@gmail.comĀ as with my experience and your cooperation, we will find a solution.
- Ā Please remember… these requirements are from the Greek government and not by me, therefore they might change so you have to contact me 3 months before the wedding to ask me if there is any change.
- Ā Please keep in mind the strict rules below for a perfect and hassle-free wedding:
- Ā I need the wedding documents 1 month before the wedding in my hands but before you post them to me, you must email me copies to make sure nothing is missing. Do not post anything before my approval.
- Ā The wedding documents cannot be dated older than 3 months from the day of your wedding date.
- Ā If you are a cruise ship traveler, you need to provide us a power of attorney that must be prepared by the Greek Embassy of your area. This document gives us the right to register for the wedding with the registry of Santorini, on your behalf. Please email me to send you the exact sample which you must use to prepare yours.
- Ā You must follow the instructions listed on my website and my instructions only. Do not listen to any other sources no matter what these sources are, as I am here, and they are out of the country, and they are not updated daily by our local authorities. Each part of Greece has different legal requirements. The information inside my pages is only for Santorini.
- Ā All documents that will be submitted to our authorities via me will be held for ever by our Peace of Justice so, please request new copies to send us if you need the old ones you have.
- Ā All Non-European countries couples, except USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and China/Hong Kong, need a document from their Embassy in Athens, saying you are free to marry, and that document needs to be authenticated by the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Athens.
- Ā You must be in Santorini 1 (one) business day after your wedding to register for your wedding. If that is not possible, you must obtain a document that will give my agency the authority to register your wedding on your behalf and you must contact me to send you via email a sample of that document.
- You can translate your documents via the Greek Embassy in your area (no other independent source is acceptable) or via my office and I will send them to the proper authority here and the cost is 300 euro for the translation of the following documents: English documents, apostille stamps and the copies of yours and witness’s passports. If you book the translation of your documents via my agency, please let me know to book an appointment with the proper authority asap as they have an extensive line.
- Please note that my wedding planning fees are not included in the packages and depend on the wedding venue you choose. For example, for Le Ciel, Santorini Gem and Santorini Princess, my fees start from 1000 euros.

The time we will ask must be respected and no other person which is not related to my office or the venue must be present so our work will not be interfered and will be delivered as agreed.Ā Also, we cannot use a ladder so all decoration must be to our height and not need to reach high.
