Harriet & Tristram loved our suggestion of beautiful Villa Kira for their wedding ceremony in Parga. The terrace and gardens overlook Valtos Beach and the modern villa design coupled with the surrounding olive trees blended harmoniously with their choice of pastel florals.

Harriet wore a lace Madi Lane Bridal wedding dress with wings that draped elegantly from her shoulders. The groom and groomsmen chose lightweight summer tailoring in stone, with brown leather accessories and each finishing the look with a Panama hat.

The hand-tied bouquet was made with a variety of spring flowers in pastel shades of blue, pink, peach, mauve and ivory blended with the soft green of eucalyptus. Her bridesmaids wore sage green dresses accessorised with a delicate wrist corsage and a hand fan to keep elegantly cool in the warm sunshine.

Leaving the drinks reception with photographer Maxeen Kim, the couple took one of the traditional boats across to Panagia island. This iconic church in Parga harbour is utterly charming and our couple explored hand in hand, taking in the view of Parga old town and relishing this private time to enjoy being newlyweds alone after their wonderful wedding ceremony at Villa Kira They rejoined the guests at the reception venue on Valtos beach, for dinner and dancing under the star-filled sky to their live band.

Villa wedding at The View Lefkada

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.

Wedding at MED Parga with Panoramic View

09/08/202316/08/2023

In May we created a dream Greek wedding day for British couple Alex and Joanna at MED Parga with a panoramic backdrop of the Venetian castle and Valtos beach. The location was close to both their hearts as Alex’s father was born there and he and his sister had spent many family holidays in this authentic Greek town on Greece’s Epirus coast. Based in the events industry himself in London, Alex knew he could do the basics but need the finishing touches of our expertise and local knowledge to have the perfectly planned and stress-free day they wanted. My team included the award-winning photographer Maxeen Kim Duncan who captured both their engagement shoot and wedding day in beautiful Parga.

Bride, Joanna had a relaxing morning with her girls getting ready at Apolis Villas, Parga and the warm stone and olive tree filled grounds were the location for an emotional First Look for the couple. Her bridesmaids wore flute sleeve dresses with green embroidery. Bouquets of soft pastels and pampas were carried by the bride and the bridesmaids.

The couple told us their dream would be to have both their ceremony and reception at MED Parga but as the venue had never hosted a ceremony previously they were unsure how to achieve this. We love a logistical challenge and given the opportunity to have a ceremony with that amazing view, my team made it happen with some careful measuring and preparations. The ceremony included elements that reflected both their cultural heritages and ended with a traditional rice throw by the Greek family!

The cocktail hour took place on the balcony overlooking Valtos beach with refreshing summer cocktails and Greek-inspired canapes. A wedding at MED Parga offers you an unforgettable Mediterranean vibe with delicious modern Greek cuisine and those views your guests will talk about for a long time afterwards!

The wedding theme was green and blue reminiscent of the colours of the Ionian Sea. The tables were laid with garlands of eucalyptus and willow with touches of olive on the napkins. Gold accent details were added with candlesticks and the pretty table stationery which finished the design of this elegant wedding reception. Alex and Joanna started the evening party by dancing the Hasapiko, a traditional Greek dance which they had learnt as a surprise for the guests before being joined by all the guests for a music-filled evening as they danced the night away.

Engagement shoot in Parga

This engagement shoot in Parga was filled with smiles and laughter as Alex and Joanna joined us in the harbour for some photographs at golden hour. It was two days before their big Greek celebration at MED for which they invited 100 of their friends and family to see them get married in Parga and enjoy an idyllic week in this charming little Greek town.

Parga is built amphitheatre style on the hillside and overlooked by a Venetian castle. The town beaches of Krioneri and Piso Krioneri are pleasant spots and there are two more sweeping stretches of sand at Valtos and Lichnos to spend lazy days. Parga is on the Epirus coast of western Greece and so it has a wonderful sunset every night.

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

03/12/202205/08/2023

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.
