From the moment we met Maria, we clicked instantly. We knew straight away that we could trust her with the biggest day of our lives, and that feeling never changed.

Her knowledge of the wedding industry, Santorini, and all of the local vendors is simply exceptional. Every recommendation she made was perfect, and she understood our vision better than we did. She took our ideas and brought them to life in a way that completely exceeded our expectations it was even more incredible than we could ever have imagined.

What really sets Maria apart are the little things she does that make such a big difference. Whether it was picking us up for meetings or dropping us off so we could explore different parts of the island, nothing was ever too much trouble. She genuinely cared about making our entire experience unforgettable, not just our wedding day.

On the day of our wedding, we experienced an unexpected family accident. It was an incredibly stressful situation, but Maria’s calm, reassuring presence gave us complete peace of mind. She took control of everything, allowing us to focus on our family, knowing our wedding was in the safest possible hands. We can never thank her enough for the care, compassion, and professionalism she showed during such a difficult moment.

Maria is so much more than an incredible wedding planner she has become family. We know we’ll be returning to beautiful Santorini in the near future, and one of the biggest reasons is to see Maria again. We are forever grateful for everything she did to make our wedding the most magical day of our lives.

If you’re considering getting married in Santorini, there is only one person you should trust: Maria. She is simply the best.

We worked with Shirley and Maria and they went above and beyond to make our dream wedding come true.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience! From the initial meeting to planning, they offered great recommendations and made us feel at ease the whole way through. They are very calm and organized, and really know what they're doing. It's not easy planning a destination wedding, but we were in great hands.

The wedding day was a dream, and it was so nice to just have to show up and everything was taken care of. We didn't stress as we knew that Shirley and Maria were there to support us and take care of every detail so we could just enjoy the moment. They added so many personal touches, and even went above and beyond to help with the paperwork and documents.

They were such a huge part of our day and we're so grateful for them. They were so easy to work with, and we cannot recommend their services enough to anyone thinking of getting married in Santorini.

Thank you x a million to Maria and Shirley for all your help and support, your professionalism, your kindness, humour, and your ability to make the day so special! You were such a light throughout the entire journey!

Wow, so much to say!
First, I am a very type A bride who loves her spreadsheets and has had an exact vision of what my wedding should look like since I was old enough to dream. Maria was very patient with me on this, even when I sent her a huge spreadsheet with every small decor detail listed on there a few weeks after getting engaged. If you are also Type A, it may be a bit jarring at first when you’re trying to plan out all the details 8+ months in advance and waiting for replies, but through Maria’s gentle reminders I started to realize the priority of things I was asking and that it’s okay to take a breath and not need everything done right away. I’d also encourage you to communicate that to her like I did, as she has a lot of weddings and may take some weeks to respond on something that isn’t necessarily on the radar yet in her mind. Communication is key, and she’s always happy to jump on a call to calm your nerves and talk things through with you!
Other than that, everything truly felt like a dream. Maria executed my vision in ways I could not have imagined, and was able to help make it more magical with recommendations here and there that added to my “fairytale” vibe. Finding vendors was really easy thanks to her recommendations, which took a huge weight off of me. Every vendor she recommended was incredible to work with as well.
We got so many compliments from friends and family stating this was the best and prettiest wedding they’ve ever been to, and for me it really did feel like all my dreams came true. Maria is willing to go to bat for you when needed with the vendors, but she also brings a very relaxed and carefree energy that I desperately needed and appreciated on the day of the wedding. She even helped me put on my shoes when my legs were shaking too much!
So, as long as you can handle relaxing during the busy months and being okay with longer communication times, I promise she is going to make everything great for you!

After working with Maria, it is so obvious why she has been in the wedding industry for so many years. The experience, passion and genuine care she brings to her couples is something truly special, and from the moment we arrived, we knew we were in the best hands possible.

Planning an overseas elopement could have felt overwhelming, but Maria made the entire experience feel effortless. Every detail was handled with such calmness, professionalism and care that we were able to fully switch off and just enjoy being together on the most important day of our lives.

What makes Maria so incredible is that she doesn’t just “plan weddings.” She is there for every little moment that couples don’t even realise they’ll need help with. She steamed AJ’s suit, helped me into my dress, fixed every tiny detail, kept everything running perfectly and somehow made the whole day feel calm, intimate and magical all at once.

There was never a moment where we felt stressed, rushed or unsupported. She anticipated everything before we even had to ask and created a day that felt so seamless and personal to us.

For anyone considering an elopement or destination wedding, having someone like Maria beside you changes the entire experience. Her years in the industry shine through in every interaction, every detail and every perfectly orchestrated moment.

She gave us more than a beautiful wedding day, she gave us peace of mind, memories we’ll cherish forever, and the ability to truly be present with each other through every second of it all.

We honestly could not imagine our day without her.

Maria did an amazing job to make our wedding day perfect. She was very professional, and was there to help with every step of the process. She had excellent recommendations for everything from the venue, to hair and makeup, music, flowers, catering, photography, and anything else involved with the wedding. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner in Santorini.

Maria is a fabulous wedding planner - her creative ideas, caliber of venue recommendations/vendor selections, and logistics are nothing short of amazing. She takes care of every detail and is on hand at all times to handle anything and everything to ensure you can enjoy every minute. There were multiple events over 3 days for 90 people and she made sure every moment ran seamlessly!!!! Besides making wedding dreams a reality, she is also the sweetest person you could ever want to work with - look no further - Maria will deliver everything you are looking for....and more!

Maria helped us create the wedding of our dreams. From the start, every decision was so easy, which I don't think most people would say about wedding planning. We live in NYC, but even coordinating meetings was simple. We had a three-day party with almost 90 guests, and Maria helped with every detail, and showed up for every event! She has an extensive vendor network that she clearly has great relationships with, which again, makes coordinating all these moving parts so seamless. She kept a meticulous vendor & budget breakdown. Her level of organization was really appreciated. From the moment we arrived in Santorini, she accompanied us to our meetings with vendors, locations, etc. And even picked up and returned personal items that we brought from home to incorporate in the wedding decor. She has a very warm demeanor that is calming in what could be a high-stress environment. Our guests will be talking about this wedding forever....It was truly spectacular from our "first toast" to the "welcome party" to the actual wedding itself. For all the countless calls, emails, decisions, and laughs...We can't possibly thank Maria enough.

Maria, thank you so much for helping us through every step of our wedding journey. Maria really showed up the day of the wedding and you could really tell she wanted everything to run smoothly for our special day. I am more of a type A bride and Maria never made me feel like I was too much for that. We appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Maria and hope to see you soon!
