Maria came highly recommended and she did not disappoint! Maria was absolutely fabulous. Maria ensured everything ran smoothly, with our wedding planned and executed to the finest detail, delivering above and beyond our vision for a chic and elegant elopement. We decided to get officially married in Santorini and Maria was there from start to finish to advise on the legalities of what was required of us beforehand and to accompany us to the Town Hall after the ceremony to complete all the paperwork. The whole process daunting at first, made so simple and stress free by having Maria to guide us through. Our celebrant on the day was an absolute star and deserves a mention @JohnKavallaris. We cannot thank Maria enough and if you are reading this and thinking of eloping in Santorini absolutely do it and absolutely hire Maria as your wedding planner, you will not regret it!

Where do I even begin? …. My husband and I were originally going to get married in Santorini and met Maria during our initial wedding planning. Of course, COVID had other plans for our wedding and we ended up having to cancel everything. This was our first incredible Maria encounter. The understanding, love, and flexibility she showed during the pandemic created a newfound friendship. Skip to a year later, my husband and I decided to have a smaller wedding in the states to ensure our parents, family and close friends could attend. It was an incredible plan b option but still wasn’t what we had dreamed of. I reached out to my new friend Maria when we booked our honeymoon to Santorini to get a few local suggestions on places to stay, restaurants etc. During our conversation, Maria asked if we would be interested in doing a personal, intimate ceremony, just my husband and me to exchange our personal vows (which we saved for Santorini). Of course, I jumped on this opportunity! It was a meant to be moment if I ever saw one. Maria already knew what I had envisioned from our first wedding planning session and I told her to “let her creative juices flow”. I trusted her, completely. To be honest, I was a bit exhausted from planning our states ceremony that I wanted to relax and be surprised! And oh, my goodness…. a surprise is what she had in store. I cannot even begin to describe the magical day she had planned for us. Every second of the day was a “perfect surprise”. It was one of the coolest experiences I have ever done in my life. Every detail from the vendors she had selected, the location to the ceremony décor was perfection. I walked down to a pianist on the beach (I still have no idea how they got the piano down there… #MariaMagic), an arch made out of dried baby’s breath which I have never seen before, fireworks and the loveliest dinner table surrounded by twinkle lights. I have never met someone so creative and talented to be so selfless and genuine. My goodness. The fact she did ALL this with minimal input from me, only makes me wonder what she could do when a bride gives her their “full vision”. The personal ceremony Maria put on for us was probably more intimate and emotional than our actual family wedding in the states. I cannot even begin to thank or describe the gratitude I have for Maria. Maria, Harry and I love you. You will always hold a special place in our hearts and have a friend in the states. We will always remember the day you created around our love. xx. The McGraws!

Maria is an exceptional wedding planner. From across the Atlantic, she was able to carry out our vision for a dreamy, simple and elegant wedding. Working with her was so easy and such a delight - she has a passion for weddings and went out of her way to make the process seamless, fun and stress free. Our family and friends were blown away. We were so pleased with Maria’s work and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
