We wrote our own wedding vows, our own ring exchange
words, and chose poems that were personal and meaningful to
us. Our ceremony was incredibly personal, meaningful and
emotional. Peter, our celebrant, was amazing, a real gentleman
– he even stayed for a couple of hours after our ceremony and
came along to our reception to celebrate. We also chose to
have our reception at the hotel and had exclusivity of the
Zephyros restaurant. We had a beautiful rustic horseshoe
shape table setting outside on the terrace – such a shabby chic
feel, with quirky little bits and olive branches.
costas, the food and beverage manager, had met us the day
before our wedding to make sure everything would go
smoothly. He was amazing and my goodness, so was the food.
We didn’t want formal, we wanted relaxed, so we decided to
go for a hot and cold Greek buffet and it was out of this world!
NIccI AND AMy
We had salted caramel cupcakes with a larger cake on the top.
When we entered, we cut the larger cake together and fed
each other a small piece as they do in Greece, so that our first
taste of marriage was sweet.

‘A few of our guests
actually said it was
the best wedding they
had ever been to.
What an amazing
compliment – not
only to us, but to the
amazing people that
made it all happen.’
