Meet Ellie

THE SOUL BEHIND THE CELEBRATION

If we haven’t met yet, I am Ellie Skourti, the founder and lead creative of Hera’s Weddings. To me, being a wedding planner in Santorini is more than a profession; it is a calling.

My journey began with a degree in Economics and Hotel Business from the University of Patras, followed by years in the high-pressure world of luxury 5-star hospitality in Athens and Santorini. But it was the magnetic beauty of the Greek islands that eventually won me over. In 2018, I decided to build something different. I moved away from the “strictly business” world of high volume events to create a boutique wedding planning agency — one where you aren’t just a number on a calendar, but the sole focus of our universe.

A HUMAN-CENTERED APPROACH

Planning a destination wedding in Greece from thousands of miles away can feel overwhelming. That is why my philosophy is deeply “human-centered.” Often described by my couples as a “genuine soul,” I strive to be more than just your wedding coordinator. I am your local expert, your logistical anchor, and the friend who ensures you feel like the only bride or groom in existence.

I believe that while professional wedding expertise is vital, passion is the key to success. I am a perfectionist who won’t rest until your celebration is flawless, and an enthusiast who sees every new love story as a fresh challenge to exceed expectations.

CURATING YOUR MODERN-DAY LEGEND

Whether you dream of a luxury chic ceremony with whites and golds overlooking the Santorini caldera, or a modern-earthy celebration filled with airy lunaria and sun-bleached textures, my team and I specialize in tailor-made weddings.

To ensure the highest standard of event production, I oversee a dedicated team of three specialized departments:

• The Planning Suite: Led by me personally, guiding you through every legal requirement and logistical detail from day one until the final toast.
• The Accounting Department: Managing vendor relations and ensuring financial transparency and budget management.
• The Design Department: Where we breathe life into your aesthetic dreams and event styling.
• The Legal Department: Navigating the complexities of international marriage requirements and Greek bureaucracy with precision.

My Promise

From securing the island’s most exclusive wedding vendors to the seamless handling of your marriage paperwork in Greece, I am here to take the weight off your shoulders. Your satisfaction is my ultimate success, and your joy is the fuel that gives me the courage to continue doing what I love.

Let’s turn your every wish into a priceless memory.

After all, Here Everlasting Romance Awakens.
