We find it helpful to provide our clients with an outline of the procedures and critical deadlines
leading up to and including the wedding day, acting as a prompt and reminder for all
concerned.

Of course we shall be
available at anytime to
answer questions and
accommodate any
requests you may have at
any point leading up to the
wedding.

We trust you find the
following a valuable tool
so that you can organise
your arrangements in the
UK and understand the
wedding procedures
required to marry in
Rhodes.
 

Booking Your Wedding

Stage 1
Upon confirmation from the client to proceed with the wedding, verification of all information
available at that time will be confirmed by email together with a quotation and deposit invoice
for 20% which is based on the wedding package. This deposit is non-refundable.

Stage 2
When funds have cleared our bank account the wedding date will be booked with the
registrar. A receipt will be sent back to the client acknowledging the deposit and this will
be accompanied by:
* An official document, signed and stamped by the registrar
* A detailed record of the necessary current Greek legal documentation
   requirements
* And most importantly, the critical dates: these need to be processed
   and made available both in the UK and in Greece
(Please note that we request all documents sent to us are by recorded delivery)
In addition we shall advise the amount of the final payment and due date, which will be 6
weeks prior to arrival.

Stage 3
When final payment is received (6 weeks prior to your arrival) notification
will be given of the date and time of your consultation meeting. This meeting will be
as soon as is practical and typically within 2 days of your arrival and the meeting
will normally take up to 2 hours.
 

                                                          Your Arrival
 
As arranged we will meet with you for consultation.
This meeting will take approximately two hours
and we will cover all the aspects of your wedding
day including a visit to your selected reception
venue where you will be introduced to the owner
and final arrangements will be dealt with including
tasting of the wine!

The Wedding Day

The Wedding Day - we have 2 co-ordinators allocated to carry out all necessary behind
the scenes functions and arrangements during the day as necessary.

The dedicated co-ordinator will make a brief early morning telephone call to the bride and
groom to establish whether there are any last minute requests or concerns.

Your co-ordinator will arrive at the bride’s accommodation
and will have already spoken to the additional co-ordinator
who will be in place at the wedding ceremony venue
awaiting the arrival of the groom and wedding guests.
They will greet them and introduce the groom and best
man to the registrar who will outline where he wants
them to stand etc. The photographer (if booked) will be
in place to take photographs of the Bride and Groom
arriving at the church.

Before accompanying the bride to the church we ensure that if there is a previous wedding,
the bride and groom have left the church so that the two brides do not cross.

Following the photography session after the ceremony, one co-ordinator will accompany
the wedding party on the boat for the champagne reception if arranged. They will then
escort everyone to the reception for dinner.

The reception venue will already have been checked and dressed as requested by a
co-ordinator for your arrival. A co-ordinator will stay on hand at the venue for several hours
which is usually until the Cutting of the Wedding Cake.

Please Note:
* All wedding ceremonies at St Paul’s Bay will have 45 minutes private
   time in the grounds of the church 
* Weddings at St Paul’s Bay will sign the registrar after the ceremony in
   the grounds of the church as opposed to other ceremony venues within
   Lindos area which will be requested to sign usually the day after at the
   local Town Hall
* Two witnesses are required for the signing of the registrar
   (minimum age 13 yrs)
* Confetti can only be thrown outside the gates of St Paul’s Bay Church
