Where do we even begin? From the very first moment we started planning our wedding with Maria, right through to the very last goodbye, everything was truly beyond our wildest dreams.

Everyone tells you that something will always go wrong on a wedding day, but we can genuinely say, hand on heart, that every single detail was absolutely perfect. Not one thing was missed. Not one detail was overlooked. Our entire wedding week felt like a dream, and we were able to completely relax and enjoy every single moment because we knew Maria had everything under control.

Maria is the most incredible wedding planner. She is exceptionally professional, organised and attentive, but what makes her truly special is the way she makes you feel. Her number one priority is making sure the bride and groom feel completely relaxed, looked after and able to enjoy their wedding without having to worry about a single thing. Her energy, warmth and aura are genuinely beautiful, and we felt so lucky to have her by our side.

She was there every step of the way — not just for our wedding day at Cavo Ventus, but throughout all of our pre-wedding and post-wedding events too. We honestly didn’t have to think about anything. Everything was organised, coordinated and executed seamlessly, allowing us to simply be present and soak up every second with our family and friends.

And the end result was nothing short of spectacular.

Every vendor involved was truly 5-star. From the breathtaking Cavo Ventus venue, incredible food and drinks, amazing DJ, exquisite styling and decorations, to the lighting and every tiny finishing touch — everything was absolutely beautiful. Our family and friends couldn’t stop talking about how perfect the entire day and week was.

But behind every perfect detail was Maria.

You took our vision and turned it into something even more beautiful than we could have imagined. You gave us a wedding that went far beyond our expectations and created a day that genuinely felt like a real-life fairytale.

There are no words to properly thank you for the memories you have given us. We wish we could go back and relive the feeling of walking into our wedding, seeing everything for the first time and being surrounded by all the people we love most.

Maria, thank you from the absolute bottom of our hearts. You were a huge part of making our wedding the most magical, unforgettable and perfect day of our lives, and we will forever be grateful.

We couldn’t recommend you highly enough to any couple wanting a truly beautiful, luxurious and completely stress-free wedding experience.

And as for us… we’ll definitely be back to renew our vows — if only for the excuse to do it all over again! 🤍🥂✨

With all our love and gratitude,
Emily & Jack 🤍

Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have had Maria by our side to plan our special day with us for over a year. She has been nothing short of incredible. From our very first video call, we immediately felt her warmth and kindness, and we felt truly listened to. From that first meeting to saying goodbye after our dream wedding weekend in Santorini, Maria was absolutely exceptional every step of the way. She didn’t just help us plan the most perfect wedding — she created an entire experience for us and our guests that we will remember for the rest of our lives, and along the way she truly became our friend.

We had a traditional Greek Orthodox Church ceremony at the Metropoli Church in Fira, followed by an incredible wedding reception at the Infinity Pool at Rocabella Santorini. Something that we particularly appreciated about Maria’s 10+ years of wedding planning was her experience with Greek Orthodox ceremonies. International weddings require an extensive paperwork process, and Church weddings add an additional logistical layer. Maria made even this portion of planning seamless and organized. She communicated with our priest, helped us have all of our paperwork ready, and even did a ceremony rehearsal with us herself. In addition to the actual wedding day, Maria helped us plan our welcome event at Kaliya and our catamaran boat send-off party with Sunset Oia. Looking back, it feels almost impossible to believe that everything came together so beautifully and seamlessly across multiple days/events - but Maria made it happen. Throughout everything, Maria was organized, responsive, knowledgeable, calm, and incredibly attentive to every detail (many of which we never would have even thought of!). We always knew we were in the best hands.

One of the things that stood out most to us were Maria’s recommendations. Planning a wedding from across the world is certainly non-traditional - I didn’t taste cake samples, see fabrics, or even visit our venue until the wedding week! Now when reflecting on our wedding, I recognize just how critical working with someone with excellent recommendations was. You trust them with everything, and I got so lucky with Maria. She was the perfect partner who understood my vision and suggested ideas I wouldn’t have even thought of, and together we created a wedding that was more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined. Every vendor, detail, and suggestion she made felt carefully considered and perfectly suited to what we wanted - intentional, elegant, and beautifully executed. She has such an incredible knowledge of Santorini and the wedding industry there, and we trusted her judgment completely. When we had all of our pre-wedding meetings with various vendors after arriving in Santorini, it was evident that she has built strong, trusting relationships over her years of planning - everyone loves her!

I think what we will remember most, though, is how much peace of mind Maria gave us. I was very nervous about the wedding planning process for a destination wedding. However, on our wedding day, we were able to be completely present. We weren't checking timelines, worrying about vendors, wondering if something had been set up correctly, or trying to solve problems behind the scenes. We got to enjoy every second with each other, our families, and our friends because we knew Maria was handling everything. That is priceless. We saw our vision come to life around us, and it was a dream come true.

If you are considering getting married in Santorini, hire Maria Sarma. She has the experience and professionalism to anticipate things before they become problems, she is always several steps ahead, and her calm presence made us feel completely confident throughout the entire experience. She truly puts so much love into the work that she does, and that is demonstrated by how she goes above and beyond for her couples. We genuinely cannot imagine having anyone else plan our wedding. She is an incredible wedding planner, but she is an even better person.

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!

We cannot recommend Maria and Santorini Wedding Planners highly enough! From our very first conversation through our wedding day, Maria was organized, professional, responsive, and an absolute joy to work with.

She took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life more beautifully than we could have imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the entire day felt seamless and stress-free because of her careful planning and coordination. Maria communicated clearly with us and all of our vendors, ensuring everyone was aligned and every aspect of the day ran smoothly.

Our wedding day was truly magical, and we are so grateful for the care, dedication, and expertise Maria brought to the process. Being able to relax and fully enjoy the day with our family and friends was one of the greatest gifts she gave us. If you're planning a wedding in Santorini, Maria is the person you want by your side!

Thank you, Maria, for helping create memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Maria was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Eloping overseas is such an emotional and intimate experience, and having someone there who genuinely cared about us and our day made all the difference. From the months of planning right through to the moment we said our vows, Maria went above and beyond in every possible way.

Her experience in the wedding industry is so evident. Every detail was handled so effortlessly and professionally that we were able to completely relax and be fully present with each other. She thought of everything before we even had to ask.

On the day itself, she was steaming AJ’s suit, helping me into my dress, adjusting details, coordinating timings, calming nerves and making sure every single moment flowed perfectly. What could have felt stressful felt calm, exciting and incredibly special because of her.

Maria doesn’t just create beautiful weddings, she creates an experience where couples feel supported, understood and genuinely cared for. We never felt like “just another couple.” She put so much heart into our day and it showed in every single moment.

We will forever be grateful for everything she did to make our Santorini elopement so unforgettable. If you are looking for someone you can completely trust with one of the biggest days of your life, Maria is truly exceptional.

Forever grateful Aj & Sarah
