From the very beginning, Julie & Nicholas, made us realize that they were made for each other. Two beautiful people who fill in one another, chose Santorini as their wedding destination and our team as their trustworthy planners.
On a warm sunlight day, in the gorgeous terrace of Venetsanos Winery, flowers, smiles and fine music dressed the mood of the wedding preparations. Regardless of the strong winds, everything looked magical. Vintage chairs aligned in front of the altar while the guests slowly made their entrance to the venue. Nicholas arrived prior to his lovely bride, wearing a unique suite in a dark orange shade. Once he took his spot under the gazebo, his groomsmen accompanied and stood proudly by his side. With the desired song, the bride’s entrance to the venue was brought to everyone’s awareness. Following the stairs around the terrace the bridesmaids slowly walked towards the altar one by one, followed by the prettiest flower girl there ever was. Julie’s radiant wedding gown was breathtaking as she walked towards the altar, hand in hand with her mother. To make the moment even more special, Nic’s brother gave a live touching performance of the song for the bridal aisle walk. Once the couple stood before one another, the ceremony began. After committing to their marriage & sealing their love with a kiss, petals flew in the sky along with happy cheers.
The cocktail hour lasted as long as the sunset with the company of live music. While the guests enjoyed their drinks and finger food, the couple walked about with their photographer & videographer, capturing moments of them together on the Cliffside of the magical caldera. Once the tables were set the guests took their seats and dinner began. Touching speeches & slideshows went on through the night, a romantic first dance and a most heartwarming dance of Julie & her beloved uncle brought tears to everyone’s eyes. Sealing the beautiful night was the performance of Julie’s sister, who sang a song while playing the piano, all as a surprise to the lovely couple. Dancing, the cutting of the cake and more smiles, reassured for the night to be exceptional. After Venetsanos, the wedding party really began, at the space of Agaze Bistro restaurant, where more music & drinks followed.
We can’t thank this couple enough, for sharing their day with us, letting us be a part of such a great occasion along with the most beautiful family. Words can’t describe how honored we were to also work alongside the couple’s amazing toastmaster! A great day, a wonderful night, an exceptional wedding! To Julie & Nicholas, the most beloved couple.
