Looking for a private setting with an unbelievable panoramic view for your celebration? Katrina and Rich’s May wedding at The View Lefkada was the perfect start to our summer and is firmly now one of our favourite villa weddings on Lefkada island. Our British couple fell in love with the views from this East Coast villa online and booked it immediately for their intimate micro wedding in May. They reached out to us for help and guidance in bringing their dream to life and we happily accepted!

The villa has been thoughtfully furnished by its owners with Italian furniture and design details. The details of the villa such as the wooden door in the garden, hand-made from fastenings from an old monastery and the tiled table top using blue pattern tiles from an Italian castle were all featured in the photography of their day by Maxeen Kim Photography.

The couple exchanged vows in the villa garden, with all the guests amazed by the view. Following the traditional walk down the aisle at the end of the ceremony to Elvis ‘Can’t help falling in love’ the couple continued into a dance together enjoying the just married mood, to the delight of their parents and guests, who stepped in to join them for this romantic moment.

Guests were entertained by Kosmas Pafitis with his violin and piano duo playing modern covers as the cocktails were shaken and refreshing Greek bubbles were poured in the May sunshine from our ‘Drunk in love’ pop-up bar.

In keeping with the garden wedding setting, the couple decided on white and green flowers as decoration. To add a modern touch to this timeless wedding palette we suggested adding a pop of soft yellow Craspedia. These three colours are nature’s spring palette when the green hillsides and olive groves of Lefkada are covered with carpets of white daisies. The tables had pedestal vases filled with arrangements of roses, lisianthus, ruscus and eucalyptus paired with yellow napkins and mercury glass candles.

For a relaxed evening affair, our private catering partners set up a grazing table with a variety of Greek and Mediterranean tastes. The evening continued with a party and cocktail bar as the guests danced the night away under the star-filled sky to live music by our guitarist Sakis.

Lefkada villa wedding with romantic olive grove ceremony – Ollie & Rebecca

wedding dinner tables in olive grove in Greece

Ollie and Rebecca chose a private villa estate with its own olive grove and chapel as the backdrop to their special day. The British couple invited guests from London, Greece and the USA to celebrate with them at their September wedding in Lefkada.

Rebecca wore a gown from Halo and Wren Bridal with an art deco lace pattern and chose wings rather than a classic veil. Her bridesmaids wore champagne-coloured midi dresses with a classic chignon hairstyle. Bouquets of soft pastels and pampas were carried by the bride and the bridesmaids.

Their wedding ceremony was in front of the little chapel, set in the olive grove of this Lefkada villa with arrangements of white flowers and pampas. Afterwards, the couple led the guests through the estate to the terrace of Villa Gaia to enjoy the panoramic views of the Greek coastline and the north of Lefkada island below. Guests were entertained by British musician Andy Lewis with his melodic cocktail hour vibes and celebrated with refreshing Greek bubbles from the Domaine Glinavos winery.

We lit a magical walkway of lanterns for the guests to follow the path to the dinner reception in the olive grove held under a canopy of garland lights. The tables had arrangments of pastel flowers and pampas and flickering glass candles. Ollie’s Greek relatives added some Opa! to the dinner period by spontaneously dancing to the Greek band in between courses. The evening continued with a party and cocktail bar as the guests danced the night away under the star-filled sky.

Akvile had a bespoke dress made in Lithuania which she accessorised with a birdcage veil. The groom wore a pale green suit with floral lining and a personalised embodied message. Their guests were all asked to wear shades of green to compliment the wedding colour theme.

Their chic villa wedding ceremony was by the swimming pool in front of a tumbling white bougainvillea and a backdrop of the olive-filled hillsides. The floral decor consisted of clouds of gypsophila with white roses in columns for the ceremony and in tall centrepieces on the tables.

Guests enjoyed cocktails and dinner on the villa terrace with a panoramic view of the town and coast with entertainment by Sax Tom, Made in China band and had fun with the Smilebox photobooth.

Wedding at Villa Veneziano in Lefkada with pampas details – Sarah & Jay

27/08/202224/09/2023

We planned Sarah and Jay’s June wedding in Lefkada at Villa Veneziano in Lefkada, hosting the ceremony in the vaulted pool house and the reception on the garden lawn surrounded by the warm sienna-coloured walls and borders overflowing with fragrant rosemary.

Rich burgundy and pink florals decorated their day from Sarah’s stunning bouquet of peonies, roses, protea, eucalyptus and pampas grass to the ornate urns and statement pampas globe at the ceremony.

The British couple wanted to offer the guests a gourmet food and drink experience, so we arranged for them to have a pre-wedding wine tasting at de blanck wine and champagne in Nidri. They chose Greek estate wines for the dinner and Estate Tselopos Amalia Brut for the drinks reception accompanied by the sounds of a piano/violin duo. After dinner, the evening party kicked off with a surprise live version of ‘Mrs Robinson’ for the bride as recognition of her new surname. Lots of dancing followed and for those needing a sugar boost, we laid out a delicious selection of mini tarts from the Lemon patisserie.

Pantone Yellow Wedding on Lefkada island

15/01/202205/08/2023

Our gorgeous Pantone yellow wedding in Lefkada island, Greece showcases, showcases how the colour can be chic and trendsetting, especially when matched against the stunning scenery of the Greek Ionian Islands.

Yellow is a powerful colour, in all shades: a reminder of the sun, positivity, and fun!

Katouna Suites’ enviable location on the northeast coast of Lefkada has views of the Greek mainland. The mountains glow warm pink in the summer evenings and the sea below is dotted with activity from yachts and fishing boats. The ten-suite boutique hotel offers adults-only luxury stays and an ideal place for a micro wedding celebration.

Our Pantone yellow-inspired wedding decor at this Lefkada shoot was paired with black and grey details to really make the bright colour of the mimosa flowers pop. A loose bouquet of long-stem white roses, mimosa and willow was tied in pageant style with trailing organza ribbons.

Katouna Suites is available May, September and October for private events. If you are inspired by this stunning venue on Lefkada’s east coast please contact us for more details.

Historic Wedding Venue Lefkada

08/01/202206/08/2023

Perhaps the only factor that can make a wedding venue in Lefkada even more impressive than one with great views or beach access, is if it has historical significance too!

Without-a-doubt, historical significance adds a deeper meaning to an already meaningful day, not to mention the impressive architecture and the feeling of nostalgia!

The beautiful capital of the island, Lefkada town, constitutes a characteristic architecture developed during the years of Venetian occupation. The architecture of Lefkada is different in the capital and the villages.

One of the most exquisite buildings of Lefkada old town is the Municipal Library. Tucked away in Plateia Markou this beautiful neoclassical building has an illustrious history. Built in the late 19th century as the residence of the Zoulinos family it later housed the National Bank, before being aquired by the Greek State and becoming the home of the library in 1953.

Max and Georgia chose a marriage blessing alongside their civil ceremony and we arranged this with the very genial Rev Jules of Holy Trinity Church, Corfu. The blessing took place in the gardens of the historic library building and allowed them to have the significance they wanted for the wedding ceremony with a relaxed formality.

Looking for a historic Lefkada venue for your wedding preparations?
Why not treat yourself for your bridal preparation with a little luxury at one of the small boutique hotels in Lefkada’s beautifully restored old town. The historic Lefkada architecture and buildings will be woven into the backdrop of your photography as part of your wedding story.
Where to stay? I personally love the Rose Suite at The Aigli 1850 for a mansion house vibe and the Rock n Roll Suite at Secret Boutique Hotel for a contemporary feel. In Katouna village enjoy the vintage vibes at Pavezzo Country Retreat, a boutique hotel cleverly hidden in the old streets of the village.
