What does “Koumpares” mean?

  • In Greece, a koumpara (female) or koumparos (male) [kumpára / koompáros]:
    stands by the couple during their wedding ceremony, exchanging the crowns (stefana) – like a maid of honor, best man, or witness.
  • acts as a godparent at a child’s baptism.

In Greece, koumpares are not just “friends.” They are the special people who stand next to you on your wedding day or at your child’s baptism.

It’s a bond of love, trust & celebration that lasts forever.
That’s why we chose this name: because just like true koumpares, we’ll be by your side every step of the way, making your dream wedding come true.

Ο γάμος της χρονιάς ❤️

Ο γάμος μας στη Σέριφο τον Ιούνιο ήταν ένα όνειρο που έγινε πραγματικότητα! 💕
Η τελετή στον Άγιο Σώστη και το πάρτι στην Ψιλή Άμμο κύλησαν άψογα, με κάθε λεπτομέρεια προσεγμένη μέχρι το τελευταίο λουλούδι.
Ένα τεράστιο ευχαριστώ στη Ξανθή μας για την οργάνωση, τον επαγγελματισμό και την απίστευτη ηρεμία που μας μετέδωσε σε κάθε στάδιο.
Δεν θα μπορούσαμε να φανταστούμε καλύτερη συνεργασία – σε ευχαριστούμε που έκανες τη μέρα μας μαγική!

Wonderful!

Xanthi was so easy to work with and went the extra mile on everything. We had an amazing wedding in Serifos enjoyed by guests that came from around the world for a truly Greek experience. Xanthi was great in taking the pressure off and no request was too difficult and she came through on everything. Her experience of the island and as a wedding planner plus the advice and recommendations was very much appreciated. Only wish we could do it all over again.....
