My husband and I don’t know where to start about Paxos Weddings and Sam! Our wedding was quite literally a dream come true, even writing this I have tears in my eyes, as we would both love to do it all over again!
Let me start by saying I was not the easiest bride to deal with. However, Sam was patient, good humoured, calm and professional at all times!
I emailed Sam 6 months prior to our wedding to get the ball rolling and from the very first email, to still being there at 1am on the wedding day, she guided us with great care and attention to detail. It’s obvious after speaking to local suppliers that Sam really, really cares about her couples and wants to create a personal, tailor-made wedding for each client.
I tried to control everything from the UK, down to the last minute detail, but this was a waste of time and energy as Sam had absolutely everything in hand. Neither my husband or I had met Stu. However, he seemed to know exactly what we wanted and to see his calm face as I approached the olive grove was priceless and made me feel instantly relaxed.
That brings me on to the olive grove where our ceremony took place. All I can say is ‘woooooooow’. It was the most beautiful, romantic and atmospheric spot I have ever been to. Our guests were silenced by its loveliness and tranquility. The artistic Spiro Taxidi transformed the area into a magical oasis and words can’t describe how magnificent it was.
Our reception was held at Ben’s Bar on the picture postcard Monedendri beach and once again, Spiro, Ben and Sam transformed the decking area into a cool, laid-back, stylish venue. Spiro even scattered flowers on the floor so when people stepped on them they would smell their wonderful scent - that is attention to detail! Ben certainly knows how to get a party started and our friends and family danced and drank til the wee hours, whilst looking out to the twinkling lights of the mainland… heaven!!
Every single one of Sam’s suppliers are exceptional. Eleni the local hairdresser is better than any hairdresser in the UK! I gave Sam a small brief for my bouquet and again, the result was stunning and exactly what I had in mind. Manos the guitarist is a true gem and created an amazing atmosphere, both in the olive grove and throughout dinner.
Writing all this fills me with emotion and puts a huge smile on my face, as I realise just how lucky my husband and I were to have discovered Paxos and to have found Sam. We had the best day of our lives. Everything I wanted Sam delivered with grace and good humour. Both Dan and I want to thank her from the bottom of our hearts.
To sum it up, our day was magical. Not a cloud in the sky, with 50 of our nearest and dearest around us. It really was the perfect start to a long and happy life together.
