Maddy & Andy
Where do I start? We met Ellie via a video call after a quick Google search to discuss the possibility of my now-husband and me getting married in Santorini. We had a number of other discussions lined up afterward, but when we ended the call, we both agreed that Ellie was the perfect person to go with.
The only way I can describe her is sunshine in a human! We instantly felt comfortable with Ellie, and she made the whole process of planning a wedding super easy! We did a couple of trips out to Santorini so we could choose the ‘big stuff’ after seeing and tasting. Ellie and her fantastic sister Rena (who is also sunshine but with a little spice!) took us to a number of venues and organized menu/cake tastings. They were also very clear that if we didn’t love something, we could keep searching. We never felt pressured to use specific vendors or make decisions on the spot. And when planning the rest from London, Ellie and Rena would send us options for everything from the photographer to the cutlery! There was always so much choice, which made life easy for us but also helped us feel like we had a role in planning the entire wedding despite living abroad.
As it was a destination wedding, we had a relatively small number of guests (33). We wanted a dreamy, romantic wedding that had a little fun injected into it too. Ellie and Rena supported some of our more ‘out there’ decisions, such as having flower men with baskets full of petals and me cutting my waist-length hair to my shoulders when I changed into my second dress. Rena is a hair stylist too, so it was great that I had known her for a couple of years, as I had absolute faith she would knock it out of the park—and she absolutely did. It was a great moment.
Both we and our guests had the time of our lives. The whole day and night were perfect; there were no issues whatsoever, and that is absolutely due to Hera’s hard work and professionalism. Thanks to them, it’s widely being known as the ‘wedding of the century’ in some circles!
So do yourself a favor and contact Hera’s—you can thank me later!!!
