Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive by 6.30pm. Keep in mind that it is a Greek tradition for the bride to arrive late, which increases anxiety and anticipation on the groom's side! This bride is always late, but this is a planned delay of about 10-15 minutes.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

No dress code, but think "Sunday best" for a Greek Orthodox Wedding ceremony. The reception takes place by the beach, so you might want to avoid uncomfortable shoes!

Question

How long is the ceremony?

Answer

A Greek Orthodox Wedding takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes, they are! Please keep in mind that there will be alcohol served at the wedding, and the venue has unrestricted access to the beach; the wedding party or the venue will not be responsible for supervising your little ones. Please let the bride and groom know if you plan on bringing your kids and you did not see the correct number of guests when RSVPing, as we would like to ensure we account for every guest regardless of their age!
