Destination Weddings

I am getting quite a few enquiries from couples in Essex who would like to get married overseas. I am currently planning a wedding in the Caribbean for a client and hopefully I'm heading off to Italy for a study trip with the www.ukawp.com this year and then early next year I am off to Las vegas to look at some venues and meet with some suppliers and these won't be your typical Vegas weddings.

Whilst looking for stunning locations for a wedding ceremony, this venue was recommended to me. It has some of the wonderful views you'll find in parts of the Caribbean but won't cost anywhere near as much to travel and stay there. This is the Santo Winery in the exclusive Greek island of Santorini.

It is quite simple to get married on a Greek Island. All of your documents need to be translated into Greek and this can be done here in the UK or they can go to Island you have chosen for your wedding, where they will be translated. They need to be there four weeks ahead of your wedding. You must be on the Island five working days before and a minimum of one day after to have your marriage leaglly regsitered.

Sarah and Jeremy. A marquee wedding in Essex

I was approached by Sarah and Jeremy three months before their June wedding. Sarah had realised that she couldn't manage to pull it all together herself as she had exams to study for, she didn't live with Jeremy at the time and was also working full time. Now three months isn't long to plan a marquee wedding but its is doable and of course we managed it.
Sarah has been married before so they completed the legal part of their marriage at Bouremouth registery office with Sarah's family attending and decided that they would have a blessing in Jeremy's local church, St Mary's in Stebbing. The reception was held nearby at Andrewsfield, an local airfield where Jeremy part owned a plane. Its soon became aparent that flying was going to feature big on the day and why wouldn't it when the groom was a professional commercial airline pilot.
With quite tight budget to work to and a lot of guests, we set about sourcing suppliers for the day. Thank you to all of them who helped make the day possible and especially for Tracy Williams photography for allowing me to use her images.
