Maria was a pleasure to work with for our dream Santorini wedding. She is very experienced and had great recommendations. When we discussed plans, Maria made me feel important, like I was her only client, which is a skill in itself. She suggested the best vendors and I was thoroughly impressed with everything on the day, especially the flowers, which I feel you go into blindly with a destination wedding. She is kind, calm, caring and thoughtful. I am a bit of a control freak and she was incredibly patient when putting up with my questions and indecisiveness. Everything was perfectly organised and ran smoothly. It helps that Maria is a lovely, warm person too, with perfect English and a passion for weddings. Thank you Maria 💕 -

Maria is an excellent professional and above all a wonderful person. She was always by our side whenever we needed her. Any questions we had and any changes we wanted to be made she was there to help us and suggest new ideas. We had no stress on the wedding day. Everything was as we wanted and even better. We were very pleased, both we as a couple and our guests. I would highly recommend Maria for her wonderful service and integrity. -

Juliana C. Sent on 06/02/2024Wedding planner with client's best interests at heart
My husband and I just returned from a magical wedding and honeymoon in Greece. Although simple, we wanted a wedding celebration filled with meaning and small details that reflected our personality and created long-lasting memories. Maria’s infinite patience and willingness to fulfill our vision were instrumental in achieving our dream wedding. Rather than imposing specific vendors, like other wedding planners we spoke with before did, Maria was prompt to offer different options and find new alternatives to suit our needs and budget. We felt that she truly had our best interests at heart and that became apparent throughout the whole process, from the planning period to the wedding day. She was always understanding and we never felt judged for not wanting or being able to spend on X, Y, or Z items.
Maria’s well-structured and organized approach to wedding planning offered us the peace of mind we needed in organizing a wedding from afar (Canada). Her attention to detail and vigilant eye meant that everything went smoothly during the wedding day and we could relax and enjoy the celebration without worrying about anything at all.
Maria’s professionalism and experience, coupled with her flexibility and warm personality, make her an ideal wedding planner to entrust one’s special day. With so many wedding planners to choose from in Santorini, it is difficult to determine and decide who to go with. We are so happy we chose Maria to help us with our wedding and could not recommend her enough to others seeking to have a dream wedding in the gorgeous island of Santorini. -

Timea Sent on 09/05/2024Dedicated Wedding planner = Maria Sarma
Maria Sarma, our wedding planner, made both the wedding day and the entire preparation process incredibly smooth and unforgettable. Since all the details were finalized in advance, and we were provided with comprehensive information packages—including possibilities, pricing, and Instagram links for us to explore—Maria truly lifted the burden off our shoulders.
Most importantly, everything was organized down to the smallest detail, exactly as we had discussed, with no surprises. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised at how effortlessly everything came together, leaving us without a single worry. The bouquet I ordered exceeded my expectations, as did the cake, the event itself, the decorations, the photographer, our saxophonist, makeup artist—everything was perfect.
If you’re planning a flawless event, you can absolutely count on Maria. She approaches her work with dedication and shares in the joy of the moment with you. I wouldn’t change a single thing about our perfect day. -

Friendly and professional service
Shirley and her team provided a friendly and professional service. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We did not visit our wedding venue or meet Shirley in person until our arrival in Santorini, however over the 11 months of planning Shirley guided us well and made sure everything was on track for our special day. Shirley would send us videos and photos of our venue, flowers, table designs, etc.
Shirley delivered us the dream wedding. -

Serena E. Sent on 01/22/2022Thank you, Shirley
The thing we wanted most of all for our wedding was to be 100% ourselves, without fiction, without script, where everyone could feel comfortable and even our children could be loud. Not only did Shirley allow this to happen with delicacy and elegance, skilfully stepping in when necessary and silently stepping aside to let us enjoy our moment, but she assisted us along the way with excellent professionalism.
Like many, unfortunately, our wedding suffered many setbacks due to the pandemic, we had to postpone it several times in a state of total uncertainty and discontent.
Shirley was always by our side reassuring us, looking for practical solutions, but above all always encouraging us.
I must say that she was no longer our wedding planner, someone paid to do a job, but she had become an expert friend, a point of reference. We could not have wished for anything more than Shirley and her staff. Dimitris (photographer) and Morgan (make-up) made our wedding day, a unique, harmonious, relaxing experience.
Thank you -

SWP are professional yet caring planners that took a genuine intererst in your special day, where there was never a request too difficult or too over reaching. We had complete trust in SWP in everything they presented and being overseas, trust in your planner is everything. The day went off without a hitch, everything was pefect and run exactly as how we envisioned and this was a result of meticulous planning and attention to deal from the SWP team. Only thing that they cannot take credit for was the amazing weather!
We, along with our 60 guests, are very thankful for SWP and would recommend them to any couple who are planning a wedding in Santorini, big or small. -

A Dream Realized
When we decided to get married in Santorini, we knew we would need a dynamic local team to bring our dream to life. Shirley and Maria were a prayer answered. They are creative, have a great lineup of vendor partners and they welcomed collaboration. They went the extra mile to ensure our day was one to remember, and every single detail was treated with care. I highly recommend that you work with this dream team!
*Special Note: I am an African American bride. Shirley and Maria partner with vendors that are well versed in thicker hair textures and darker skin complexions. This was very important to me.

Firstly Stephen and I cannot put into words how happy we are that we found Shirley and Maria, they made all our dreams for our big day come true!
Wonderful, friendly and absolutely dedicated ladies who work hard to give couples their dream wedding as Stephen said during his speech “we struck gold” when we found Shirley and Maria!
Nothing asked was too much trouble, even planning a helicopter transfer to our reception something quite extravagant which made our evening rather lavish!
We would absolutely recommend Shirley and Maria everything they do has that personal touch to make you have the perfect day, they are the best at what they do.
So a massive thank you from Stephen and I for everything you both did to make our day the absolute dream it was, our guests cannot stop talking about our wedding, how amazing and wonderful it was.
We look forward to visiting for our one year anniversary and hope to see you both again. Xx

Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Each and every moment went according to plan. I did not feel the least bit stressed on the big day, and this is all thanks to Shirley and Maria!
Throughout the entire planning process, Shirley and Maria were kind, friendly, caring, detailed, organized, prompt, professional, and so lovely. I always looked forward to receiving emails from them and planning together.
Once we got to Santorini, all appointments and meeting were planned out one by one and all the information was easy to digest. We truly were in good hands, and we could feel it.
I am SO happy that I chose Santorini Wedding Planners. Shirley and Maria are such wonderful people and they did the most fantastic job. I couldn't have dreamt of anything better!! -

Orianna C. Sent on 08/26/2019Could not have asked for a more knowledgeable and professional wedding planner!
Shirley and Maria were wonderful from start to finish. Being from the US, we were weary about planning a trip overseas. But, these two were so knowledgeable and trustworthy, they made planning so easy. By the time we finally met them they truly felt like family. We were so happy with every detail of our wedding and could not have asked for a better experience. -

Amazing day!
Thanks to the Santorini wedding planners my now husband & myself had a blast with our friends and family. I would recommend them to everyone! It’s hard to plan from Colorado USA to Santorini Greece but they did a wonderful job making our dream night come true. Everything was just gorgeous! Wouldn’t change a thing. Can’t wait to get all the photos back of this beautiful day❤️
Much love,
Mr. and Mrs. Graham -

My wedding was something out of a movie !
Words cannot express our gratitude for Shirley and her team. My wedding was something out of a movie ! It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because of Shirley and Maria. All I had were ideas on Pinterest and thousands of miles between me and my wedding venue, the rest was all Shirley’s magic and she brought everything to life. She helped plan a spectacular two day event and had every detail under control, was ready with back-up plans, and implementation was seamless. She was respectful of my ideas, budget, and understood culture differences and bridged the gaps where needed, especially when it came to communicating with my husband Michael, who can be challenging at times LOL :-). Every moment was perfect and will be remembered as one of the best weddings by our family and friends and we could not have done any of this without Shirley.
We are forever grateful!

Kate Sent on 10/09/2018Shirley and Maria are consummate professionals who took care of every detail involved in our Destination Wedding! The legal paperwork involved in an official Greek Orthodox Church Wedding approved by both church and civil authorities is challenging, and both Shirley and Maria were there guiding us through the two year planning process. After our incredible experience in Santorini, we feel like they’re part of our family! Yiassou! Highly Recommended!
