Greece is a destination that has something for every couple—whether you dream of an intimate elopement or a grand celebration with family and friends. From its rich history and stunning landscapes to its world-renowned cuisine, Greece is a place where unforgettable memories are made. But just how much should you budget for your dream wedding in Greece?
In our experience, elopements in Greece typically start at around €8,000 or more, depending on the location, venue, and chosen services. For weddings with 30-40 guests, you can expect a spectacular day to start from €30,000, which includes everything from breathtaking venues to top-notch vendors. It’s important to keep in mind that costs can fluctuate depending on the season—summer being the most popular and expensive time. However, with careful planning, Greece offers incredible value for such a memorable and luxurious experience.
