We were looking for the perfect Greek Island on which to get married, somewhere that had all the charm and beauty without being spoiled by the hordes or tourists. Paxos fitted the bill and we were so lucky to find out that Sam and Stuart of Paxos Weddings are the local wedding planners.
With nine months to plan the summer wedding we had regular phone and email contact with both Sam and Stuart for every single aspect of the wedding which made it the most stress free experience.
We decided on an early July wedding with around 60 guests with many people making this a summer holiday based around the wedding day. In this way we were able to arrange pre-wedding celebrations for our guests to meet. This included a BBQ at our villa and a cocktail reception at the stunning sunset spot of Erimitis Bar. On another day we also had a large number of people hire boats and make a day trip of Anti Paxos which has the most stunning azure water around.
We had a civil wedding so that involved signing our paperwork at the local townhall on Friday with our families then we had our main reception on the Saturday.
Saturday started in the early evening when the heat of the day was not as intense. A civil reading was held on the waterfront at Loggos and being serenaded along the waterfront by local musicians to the decorated jetty was a magical experience.
Our guests were then taken by boat to our reception at Monodendri Beach Bar where Sam had worked with the local florists (Mike and Chris) to create the gorgeous candlelit outside atmosphere that I had requested. Ben, the owner of the bar also went out of his way to make sure a good time was had by all which was evident when most guests returned to the beach bar the day after for recovery!
From the first dealings we had with Paxos Weddings everything was hassle free and perfectly planned. Stuart also runs Paxos Concierge Services that guests used for arranging accommodation, flights or any other requests which they loved and described the whole experience as seamless
I can’t recommend Paxos Weddings enough for creating such a perfect time for ourselves and our family and friends who are still raving about the wedding and the beauty of Paxos. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Sam and Stuart and looking forward to seeing you soon!
