    Best decision we made for our wedding!

    Maria and her team were exceptional from start to finish. She kept everything on track, was responsive, easy to communicate with, and ensured our vision was realized. The execution during our two-day wedding was flawless, and the décor exceeded expectations. Our guests still rave about it, calling it the best-organized and most memorable destination wedding they’ve attended. Choosing MK Events was the best decision we made, and we'd gladly work with them again.

    Attention to detail, profesional and a pleasure to work with

    We are so glad to have hired Maria as our planner. Along with her team, they made sure very detail was absolutely perfect. It was impressive to see them in action. It is not easy to trust someone to execute your vision from miles and miles away but Maria is so organized that it made it easy to communicate and ultimately have the result we were looking for. All of our guests enjoyed themselves. We even had a great time - I often hear the bride and groom do not get to enjoy the wedding but not in this case. Thanks to Maria and her team, we truly enjoyed every minute. We look forward to having them plan many of our future life events. I would highly recommend.

    Gold standard

    Maria and the team were phenomenal through and through. We were two individuals that had a few items that were important to us and Maria knew how to fill in the gaps / details and we were blown away. We are in the US and so didn't go out to the location and needed to rely on her judgment and recommendations. She clearly knows the nuances of Santorini, the best locations and pros/cons, reliable vendors, and has a real artistic flair. Rehearsal dinner, wedding/party and boat day went without a hitch and all our guests really enjoyed the celebration. Highly highly recommend!

    5 stars!! Wedding of our dreams!

    Where do I even begin! If you’re thinking of it, just hire her on the spot! From the moment we met on Zoom I knew she was perfect. Throwing a destination wedding is a task in itself but with Maria by your side there is no need to fret. As a graduate student in her final year of school, Maria made the entire process seamless. With frequent and consistent communication all of my concerns and questions were always addressed. She turned our vision into life and made beautiful and impactful suggestions that truly made an everlasting impact on our wedding. We have been receiving endless compliments on our wedding with remarks such as “the best wedding ever.” Maria’s expertise go way beyond the wedding day, she was there for us 24/7. Her and her team took care of everything and we did not need to worry about one thing! She even held onto our wedding attire while we traveled internationally for our honeymoon. A true gem and must need for your wedding!! Maria will always be a huge part of our hearts and we consider her like family.

    Maria is amazing! Hire her immediately

    We had the absolute best experience with Maria! She was flexible with us when we had to move our wedding twice due to Covid, so this meant dealing with us for 3 (!) years. She was always professional, flexible, communicative, and responsive, and she helped us throw the event of the SEASON. She will always be honest with you about cost, budget, and value, and truly ensures she's meeting your needs as a couple. The day of our event was Pride parade, and she managed to speak to the Chief of Police about being able to arrange our transportation for guests before the roads were completely closed off - never in my right mind would I have thought anyone could pull that off! She and her team were working behind the scenes to ensure our guests never knew there was ever a potential snafu, and as a bride I had the most relaxing, stress-free day because I knew she was handling everything. If you're thinking about having a wedding in Greece, do yourself a favor and hire Maria. She'll make your dream come true!

    Could not be better

    Everything from the organisation to the design and the timeline were spot on…Maria had only one job for us. “To enjoy the wedding”. She took care of everything and it all went flawlessly.
    Our guests have spoke to us and they have told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I can’t thank Maria enough! You made our dreams come to reality.

    A Magical Day

    We could not have asked for a more magical day!
    Maria was absolutely incredible. She helped us navigate all the stress of getting our documents in order and helped us find our perfect vendors. She immediately saw our vision for the day and created a plan that perfectly matched it. Not only was she super helpful and responsive during the planning process but she was there for us for our entire wedding day. She was there to experience the love and emotions alongside us. We could not recommend her more.

    Maria is Amazing!

    Maria helped us plan our elopement on the island of Milos in Greece. We're American, and she overcame the distance, helped us make sense of the required documentation, and aided us through any and all language barriers. She even played the role of translator during our ceremony and served as a witness at town hall. What was supposed to be a quick planning/elopement for us turned into 18+ months of planning and rescheduling due to COVID. Maria was with us every step of the way and was patient, flexible, and kind. She helped to make sure we were both comfortable with our plans in a place we had no prior knowledge of. She arranged amazing vendors to help make our vision come true and worked closely with our hotel and restaurant to bring our post-wedding dinner to life. Since it was just the two of us at our elopement, she made sure we felt supported and taken care of. She even went above and beyond taking me to my hair and makeup appointments before the wedding. We'd hire Maria again in a heartbeat.

    Excellent wedding planning service, made our big day beautiful and easy

    My wife and I hired Maria to plan our recent wedding outside of Athens and would recommend her without question to anyone getting married in Greece. Even with local family members offering their help, the task of planning a wedding in a foreign country (we are American) overwhelmed us. Maria made it easy. She helped us stay in budget, was very knowledgeable of local venues and venders, displayed excellent aesthetic taste, and was warm, accommodating, and friendly. Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous and we hardly had to do more than show up. She was also invaluable in helping us navigate the paperwork and bureaucracy involved with making our marriage legal. I won't say Maria went above and beyond because I think excellence is a matter of course for her. 10/10 great wedding planner.

    The best wedding planner

    Maria has been phenomenal in helpimg us plan our wedding Extremely professional, super responsive, and flexible! she very quickly gave us the feeling that our wedding was in safe hands!
    ,The vendors that she recommended went out of their way to make our day feel extra special and were top-notch. I don't think that I could have planned this wedding on my own. Maria has a gift for finding what you are looking for and making it a fairy tale reality. My family and friends had a blast, and that made us very happy. We are very grateful to have found such an efficient wedding planner at mk events by Santo weddings , thanks Maria!

    Our decision to have our wedding ceremony in Santorini was very last minute. Living in the US, with only a month to plan, we were completely clueless on where to begin. Maria was extremely understanding, and explained all the options available to us. After exchanging a few emails and phone calls, she had everything taken care off. We felt very confident in her abilities and more so after we met her the day before our ceremony. The hair and makeup artists were great and our photographer was amazing. We had a lot of fun taking pictures around the town after the ceremony. Thank you again Maria for making all this happen for us, it was exactly what we wanted. It was a pleasure to meet you and I hope you stay in touch!

    Wedding in Hydra

    We started our wedding preparations a little over a year in advance. Coming from New York to Greece. With many prompt email exchanges with Maria, we always felt supported and heard.

    We had never been to the island that we decided to get married on. Maria helped with finding all the right venues for us on Hydra. We gave her a budget that she followed very closely. We had multiple days of events and everyday I felt her calm presence. She checked in with us often to make sure things were going smoothly. Her team and the vendors that she recommended were perfect!

    Amazing Wedding Planner

    Maria and team were amazing. Maria was highly diligent in planning each of our events and making sure it was done to our liking. Destination weddings are never easy but a multi-day destination wedding with 150+ guests is even more difficult. I highly recommend Maria - our guests to this day still text us saying "This was the best international wedding we have been to".

    5-Star Review for Maria's Wedding Planning Services

    Maria, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true! From start to finish, everything was perfect, and it’s all thanks to your incredible attention to detail and hard work.

    The decorations were exactly what we had envisioned—each detail was carefully thought out and beautifully executed. It truly felt like our dream had come to life. On top of that, the coordination between all the vendors was flawless. Everything flowed seamlessly, and we could tell that each aspect of the day was handled with care and precision.

    Thanks to your dedication and professionalism, Mark and I were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our celebration without a single worry. You made our day unforgettable, and we couldn't have done it without you.

    Thank you again for everything, Maria!
    — Mark & Jamie

    Dream Wedding!

    Maria and her team were extraordinary from start to finish! We worked with Maria for a year planning our 3-day Athens destination wedding, and she turned our vision into a dream wedding. We are from the US and didn't see any of our venues in person...but we trusted Maria's recommendations and were truly blown away!

    Maria planned three flawless events for us: a beautiful sunset boat cruise, a stunning rehearsal dinner, and a surreal wedding ceremony and reception. She has connections with amazing vendors and guided us in the right direction to meet our specific needs, along with being mindful of our budget. Every detail was meticulously accounted for, and she made us feel comfortable every step of the way. She helped create an unforgettable experience and our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever attended!

    Maria is a true professional, and her passion showed throughout the entire process. We highly recommend working with MK Events!

    Simply the best

    Maria was phenomenal - we simply can’t say enough good things about her. She translated our vision into reality in every detail. We are based on the east coast in the US and never got to see anything in person in Greece until the day of our rehearsal dinner and somehow she had read our minds. Everything went off perfectly, no glitches, and she was on site every day to make sure we didn’t have to handle a single logistical detail. She met with us as much as we needed ahead of time and kept us organized and on track. Beautiful details. Unforgettable experience. Our guests called it the best wedding they’d ever been to. Highest recommendations for Maria.

    Fairy Tale Wedding, better than we could have dreamed for

    Maria and her team were exceptional from the first moment of contact until the last moments of the wedding. My husband and I are from the USA so when we decided to get married in Greece, it felt a little overwhelming with not knowing where to start. I reached out to probably 10-15 wedding planners, and Maria was not only the most quick to respond, but also immediately set up a zoom appointment with us for a free consultation. In the zoom call, she listened to us, answered questions, and had a vision for us by the end of the call. We decided right then not to look any further and to go with her, and we are very happy we did.

    Despite there being an 8 hour time difference between us and Greece, Maria was extremely responsive. She was well organized, she provided excellent options for locations and photographers, and the vendors she chose for food, flowers, lighting, DJ, hair/makeup, etc were all phenomenal.

    The day of the wedding went flawlessly- as the bride I had absolutely no stress because of the preparation and communication that Maria had provided throughout the process. We highly recommend Maria for anyone looking to marry in Greece!

    Wonderful collaboration ❤️

    MK Events (Maria and her team) did a fantastic job in planning our wedding! They made our day an unforgettable experience, which was exceptionally organized to the tiniest detail and executed smoothly and efficiently! Maria listened to our needs during the whole preparation phase, she was flexible to take up new ideas or counter-proposals, she was super responsive, she provided us with very good vendor recommendations and the result (timeline, decoration, service, etc) was absolutely stunning! All the guests had a great time, Maria stayed there the whole time and was the last one to leave the venue! We are super happy to have worked with her. It's nice to feel like a guest in your own wedding and not have to worry about anything - she and her team were there to take care of all the details. Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without her! We truly thank her and highly recommend MK Events to everyone who wants to have a wonderful, cool, and stress-free wedding! ❤️
