• Certified Copy of the Decree Absolute - if either of the parties are divorced
• Death Certificate - if either of the parties is a widower
• Deed Poll Certificate - if either of the parties has changed his/her name by Deed Poll
• Adoption Certificate - if either parties were adopted
• Passports - photocopies will be needed to identify both parties

• We will ensure that your Ceremony location is setup with any décor that you have arranged with us, prior to your guest arrival on the day.

A. We understand that occasionally circumstances dictate that your Wedding Day may need to be rescheduled or postponed. We are happy to reschedule your day for a more suitable date in the future, subject to availability. A €30 admin fee is applied to reschedule your Wedding date. Should your Wedding need to be rescheduled due to Covid travel restrictions either in the UK or Greece, preventing you from traveling, we will waive the admin fee to reschedule your Wedding date. Any deposit paid will be transferred to your new Wedding date. Should your day be postponed for an extended period of time, and the new date incurs an additional charge due to annual inflation, you will be liable to pay this increase.

Your deposit payment to us secures our services for the date that you have requested, and we commit to taking no other bookings for this date. For this reason, should you wish to cancel through choice and not due to restrictions that would not permit your wedding to take place, we are not able to refund your initial deposit payment.
