Pop The Question In The Most Romantic Spots Of The Greek Islands
03 Feb 10
Ionian Weddings has launched a special service to help grooms (or brides!) to be to make a wedding proposal their betrothed will never forget in the most romantic parts of the Greek islands.

Exclusive proposals range from a champagne dinner on a private terrace on Santorini’s Caldera watching the world famous sunset to a candlelit meal for two in a cave near Onassis’ verdant private island of Skorpios. Complete secrecy is maintained from the unsuspecting loved ones in order to enhance the surprise element and make this special moment a resounding success.

“We recently arranged a private dinner for two on a secluded beach in Kefalonia with a local mandolin player playing the bride’s favourite song (Pelagia’s Song from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin). The bride was completely overwhelmed and needless to say she said yes,” says Andreas Palikiras, Marketing Director at Ionian Weddings. “The couple are now considering returning to the same spot to get married!”

Ionian Weddings’ top spots to propose in the Greek islands include:

1. A private beach on a secluded island accessible by a wooden bridge across the sea
2. Choice of luxury terraces while watching the sunset on Santorini’s caldera sipping champagne
3. Candlelit dinner inside a cave near Skorpios island or while sailing on turquoise waters
4. At the grounds of an illuminated Greek chapel on a tiny private island with spectacular views
5. A variety of palaces, stately homes and historic landmarks for a stylish setting

Wedding celebrations can also be arranged in most of these areas or a location nearby, should the couple choose to return to the same place to exchange their vows.

“I remember very clearly how stressful it was plucking up the courage to ask the big question, let alone arranging a perfect location and atmosphere” says Andreas. “Ionian Weddings takes care of everything, allowing the groom-to-be to relax and concentrate on asking the all important question. We can also arrange musicians, fireworks and a professional photographer to capture the moment forever!”

Prices start from €750 (£650) to include reserving the private area, decorated table and chairs, floral arrangement and candles, local musicians for background music, private waiter, four-course meal with champagne and discreet professional photographer.
