Testimonials Daphneweddings Greece | Wedding Planner

Daphne, thank you for going above and beyond for our wedding. We are SO grateful and honestly it wouldn’t have been as beautiful as it was if not for you. My husband and I found Daphne through a google search, and it was the testimonials and our first Zoom meeting with her that cemented her as our planner. We actually decided on Skopelos simply because we felt so confident that we wanted her. My husband is Swedish, I’m Canadian, and we live in the UK. Daphne took care of us for a year leading up to the wedding. She assisted with the paperwork, dealt with all the vendors, gave us great recommendations, and met with us when we needed it. She also incorporated special cultural ceremonies into our day. The 2 days were so ‘us’. On top of that she’s a fun, lovely person with a positive, ‘can do’ attitude. And she’s calm, despite the madness! When we had a crisis (and it was a big one), she took charge and sorted it. We not only found a brilliant wedding planner, but a friend. Wish we could do it all over again.
Thank you, Daphne.

I honestly don’t know where to start but WOW.
January of 2024 my now husband I decided to make our dream come true and have a very intimate wedding in the beautiful Skopelos Greece at the end of our Europe holiday. Being 22 and from Australia this seemed like a very exciting but stressful plan. I had the luck of coming across Daphne Weddings and got in contact with the very wonderful Daphne who not only made the whole entire experience beautiful, easy, and achievable but she created the most perfect, magical, dream wedding we could have ever hoped and imagined for!
From day 1 Daphne provided us with the most support, care and love. She has the most pure way of giving her clients the a stress free and perfect day. Her customer service and response time was quick and efficient even with the ridiculous time difference between Australia and Europe!
We met up with Daphne the day before our wedding us she ran us through all the finer details but assured us regardless of what is to happen it will all work out in the end and any issues were to come up they would be resolved with no problem!
Our wedding day, I wouldn’t change a single thing. It was planned and executed to perfection and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Having her to translate our ceremony was truly the cherry on top has it meant the world to us having her apart of the day she helped make so special!
I truly couldn’t recommend Daphne more!
With love to her and all her future weddings I’m so excited that more people will get to experience what my Husband and I were fortunate to!
Can’t wait to be back in Skopelos to celebrate our wedding anniversaries with Daphne in the many years to come!

When we decided to have a wedding abroad, we were nervous. After some research, we
came across Daphne’s site. I’m so glad we did! Working with Daphne for our destination
wedding was the best decision we could have made. Daphne was amazing! She was so
helpful in every aspect of the planning process, from helping select the perfect location,
which was a private terrace!!!! As well as coordinating all the vendors for us. All from
across the world!
Daphne really listened to our vision for our wedding and made it come to life in a way
that exceeded all our expectations. She was always available to answer any of our
questions and provide guidance, which made the planning process so much easier!! All
from the other side of the world! With Zoom calls to emails, she really made us feel like
she was always available for us which was a breath of fresh air.
On the day of the wedding, Daphne made dreams we didn’t know we had come true.
She took care of everything, from setting up the décor to coordinating travel between the
wedding and reception. Which was on the opposite side of the island!! She made sure
everything ran smoothly and even translated the ceremony from Greek! She allowed us to
fully enjoy our special day without any stress or worry, and just take it all in. She was the
heart of the whole event!
Overall, I can’t recommend Daphne enough. She truly went above and beyond to make
our wedding day unforgettable, and we are so grateful for all their hard work and
dedication. You can truly tell she is passionate about her craft. If you’re planning a
wedding in Skopelos, I highly recommend hiring this amazing, beautiful, and kind person.
She makes your Dreams become reality.

Daphne is one of life’s wonderful people! From the moment we reached out to her and
had our first Skype meeting in lockdown we knew we were in the best possible hands to
help us with our dream wedding day on the most beautiful of islands.
With Daphne’s guidance, knowledge and expertise she helped us have the day of our
dreams and a day that we will truly cherish forever. Thank you for giving us everything we
dreamed of and more. We were a medium sized wedding party of approx 40
Guests all travelling from the UK and everyone of our guests commented on what an
amazing time and day they had. Words will never be able to truly express how thankful we
are to Daphne and all the team she recommended and used to help provide various
services for our special day, from the hair and makeup artists, to Jacob the amazing DJ,
right down to the bus drivers taking us home at the end of the night – everything was just
perfect.
If you’re thinking of getting married in skopelos do it, speak with Daphne and she will be
able to help you have the day you always dreamed of and a day that will live forever in
your heart.
Much love Daphne x

Daphne is the BEST! She made planning our destination wedding in Skopelos so easy and
enjoyable! There was no stress! She is so knowledgable and took care of everything! She
answered my million questions and was so easy to contact and communicate with! She
executed all my ideas perfectly and our day was exactly how I always dreamed it would
be! She made sure everything ran smoothly and we seriously could not have done it
without her! We could not have asked for a better experience! The love she has for her

An immense thanks to Daphne who organised the most fabulous 50th birthday party over
4 days.
Even though I had done 3 reconnaissance missions to decide what I wanted, and despite
the fact I am a control freak, I decided to hire Daphne as she was local and could offer
valuable support that would have been, in rétrospect, impossible for me to organise.
We had a 4 day extravaganza in Skopelos with different themed nights and events for 80
people arriving from all over the world at different times.
Transport pickups were organised on time for everybody with the drivers always being
flexible about return times. Timing was always impeccable – yes in a tiny Greek island!
Daphne was readily helping guests organise trips around the islands on days when
nothing was organised, be it by taxi, minibus or local tips.
Daphne and I had regular Skype calls in the months leading up to the event and she was
also readily available for a quick call to answer any queries I had – communication was
excellent, this was critical for me!
My actual birthday night was in a small taverna with amazing Greek food and homely
atmosphere, then the owners enjoyed it so much they put on a nightclub dance floor in
the open air with music – it was incredible,
Next big night was disco night, a 70’s dressed theme night at a local club, buses were
organised music pre discussed, late food snacks organised – an amazing evening, nobody
wanted to leave!
Main night was on a privatised beach, isolated. Transport Lighting food dj (fabulous guy –
nailed my play list) location, planning service everything was spectacular.
Last lunch was a white one by the sea in a wonderful bay with a great atmosphere and
local food.
Perfect birthday, parties, location, everything! Daphne has it all, perfect host. My friends
are still talking about this incredible weekend in an incredible place.
You made it all possible Daphne,
σε ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ

Daphne did a wonderful job arranging our wedding. She was very helpful in many
aspects.
A wedding in Corona time isn’t easy and due to travel restrictions we had a lot of stress,
because we didn’t know if we were able to travel to Greece. Daphne answered all our
questions even the ones which weren’t related to the wedding but to travelling and eased
our mind at the island since our wedding day took place in the middle of a heatwave.
Beside the wedding and photo shoot locations Daphne arranged a beautiful restaurant
for our dinner and made sure the wedding bouquet was as beautiful and vibrant as I had
in mind.
10/10 would recommend!

We want to say BIG THANK YOU to Daphne for preparing and hosting our lovely
wedding in Skopelos! It was very smooth communicating with her remotely and
everything have been prepared by her exactly as we wish and even exceeded our
expectations. The ceremony on the town square was very romantic and picturesque
thanks to the beautiful decoration and the amazing views to the bay. The Agnanti
restaurant in Glossa was also very well decorated and the food was delicious.
Thanks a lot for your help and the special moments we will remember forever with LOVE!

After finding the most picturesque setting for our elopement in Skopelos, we then set a
date in mind. With only 8 months to go we were straight onto looking for a wedding
planner!
Daphne came highly recommended, she has an abundance of knowledge of the Island;
locations, venues, vendors and wedding procedures.
After our initial zoom meeting, Daphne put us at ease with the organisation of all aspects
of the wedding.
We were most apprehensive regarding the legal documents needed so that we were able
to be married legally in Skopelos. But Daphne informed us of all the legal procedures we
were to complete prior in the UK.
Knowing that she was just an email or zoom call away regarding updates and any
questions we had was a great reassurance.
On the day of our wedding everything Daphne had organised came together seamlessly.
We married at Amarantos and then got a taditional fisherman’s boat to Agnontas beach
for the cutting of our cake and a sunset dinner at Korali.
Our vision for for our perfect day had been interpreted perfectly by Daphne.
The day was more than we could have imagined, it was truly memorable.
We honestly couldn’t recommend Daphne enough.
Throughout the whole process Daphne spoke eminently of couples she had previously
worked with, it really shows how passionate she is in her profession.
We are so grateful for all of your hard work making our special day beyond perfect for us.
Thank you so much Daphne!

Planning the wedding with Daphne went extremely smoothly and she really listened and
fulfilled all our wishes. The wedding day was magical! 10/10!

Tim & Gemma
We could not have asked for more support and advice from Daphne as we planned our
wedding in beautiful Skopelos.
She took us to a number of stunning venues around the island, with different locations in
mind for the ceremony and reception.
She immediately understood the vibe we wanted for our wedding and made great
recommendations and suggestions.
She is fantastically connected with local suppliers and ensured that everything we wanted
to include for the day was sourced and provided with no stress, and to a really high
quality.
Daphne made the day run seamlessly, and had everything covered throughout the day.
It was the best day of our lives and could not have happened without Daphne! Ultimately
she made getting married abroad easy, stress-free and an amazingly special experience!

Pamela & Cris
Planning a wedding in Greece from Canada seemed impossible but Daphne Weddings
went above and beyond in all the details for our special day. We had absolutely nothing
to worry about and every detail was met with Daphne’s expertise, which exceeded our
expectations. Everything was absolutely amazing. So happy to have found Daphne and
grateful to her for making our dream wedding come true.
Pamela & Cris, Canada
Aleksej & Ivana
We had a great experience organising wedding at Skopelos with Daphne. Even though it
was a small event with just few people, we needed major support with documentation
and last minute adjustments. Smooth communication, attention to details and a perfect
wedding day!!! Thank you, Daphne!
Aleksej & Ivana, Serbia
Lauren & Alex
Daphne was everything we could’ve wished for as our wedding planner and more. We
eloped in Skopelos with our 2 year old son and Daphne made the process as smooth as
possible, not to mention how she went above and beyond on the day to help with our
toddler, play with him and occupy him so we were able to have some wedding photos
taken. We trusted Daphne throughout and she became a friend more so than our
wedding planner. We were able to have our ceremony in the town, travel to Amarantos
for sunset pictures and have dinner on the beach at Korali, and Daphne did her upmost to
plan and organise everything. It was an amazing experience and we couldn’t recommend
Daphne enough, if you are thinking about a wedding in Skopelos whether it be an
elopement or a traditional wedding, do not hesitate in contacting Daphne at Skopelos
Weddings!

Marissa & Austin
I can’t express how wonderful Daphne was with the whole wedding planning process! I
am Greek Orthodox and my husband is Catholic, so for us to get married in the Greek
church, there was a lot of documentation that was required which I was unsure about
being able to obtain. Daphne was incredibly helpful with making sure I had the right
documents and went back and forth to discuss with the priest as well. Daphne met with us
when we arrived to the island prior to the wedding, after months of countless back and
forth emails leading up to the date. Our wedding would not have been possible without
her help! It was truly the wedding of our dreams and she made the process much less
stressful. I would highly recommend Daphne to anyone looking to get married on the
beautiful island of Skopelos!
Marissa & Austin, USA
Olly & Phillipa
Daphne was a fabulous wedding organiser and friend. We had never been to Skopelos
before and we weren’t able to fly out until our wedding week so it was very nerve
wracking! Even in my worst bridezilla moments Daphne was calm and collected and
always there to lend a reassuring ear. she suggested things I hadn’t thought of which all
made the day even more amazing. We had planned to wed at a local hotel but Daphne
mentioned we could marry at the beach where we were staying, and things suddenly all
fell in to place. I would’nt hesitate to recommend Daphne to anyone planning their
special day on this beautiful island. She is highly organised and very professional and your
wedding will be everything you could wish for and more. xxx

Lorenza & Daniele
Daphne was our wedding planner and I am grateful to her, for the amazing job she did!
Me and my husband were living in Italy and decided to get married in Skopelos, so we
were a bit worried that long distance would have been a problem with communication
and organisation. Daphne was reassuring from the first moment, and indeed everything
went perfectly! Her attitude is so positive and relaxed, she will listen to the needs and the
preferences of the couple and respect them. She will be always available and ready to
help! She is such a positive presence to have, I guess it is normal for the bride -to -be to
be a bit stressed, but Daphne will make sure to keep it at the lowest possible level. She
has great taste and she will give multiple options for wedding location-catering-dj-party
etc. In the end I feel we made a new friend and hope to stay in touch.
Really, 100% worthy and if I were to get married again I wouldn’t have chosen anyone but
her to plan everything our wedding!

Peter & Elena
My husband and I had a beautiful wedding in Skopelos. It was a magnificent experience
from day one for us and all our guests – all thanks to Daphne. She did everything to make
our day perfect. Finding a perfect location for the ceremony, helping us with all our
bookings, decorating the venue, arranging rehearsal dinner, finding perfect transportation
for different guest, you name it – she fixed it. From flowers and make up to wedding cake
and music – everything was perfect’ There’s not a thing I would change and there’s no one
I could recommend more – Daphne is honest, hardworking and caring. She provides
outstanding service to her couples. It’s been four years and we still keep in touch.
Peter & Elena, Norway
Steve & Alice
Daphne was a real asset for our wedding and we can’t thank her enough! We decided to
get married quickly after our engagement, and we had already a big family holiday
booked to Skopelos. We tried to research some good venues but it was hard to make a
decision on each one and there was quite often a language barrier which prevented us
from relaying what we would like properly. We then contacted Daphne, which turned out
to be the best decision that we made. She gave us her recommendations based on what
we wanted, arranged everything with the local companies and joined us on our wedding
day to ensure that everything ran smoothly. If you’re thinking of having your wedding in
Skopelos, Daphne will be an amazing asset for your big day!
Thank you Daphne for all your help!

I hired Daphne as my local wedding planner for my vows renewal in Skopelos Island and
she was able to suggest me the best solutions, according to my needs and budget. I’m a
wedding planner too (in Italy), but I wanted my day to be organised by a greek
professional and I really appreciated how Daphne works.
She made our day so perfect and planned a beautiful afternoon on top of the Mamma
mia Church (Agios Ioannis- Skopelos), she even bought some water for us, since we were
breathless after 200 steps… but the view was unbelievable. It was so special and
emotional that we won’t forget any moment, celebrating our love.
She also coordinated and booked a professional photographer + a very refined restaurant
in Glossa village, taking care of transfers with her car for me and my husband. If you are
Looking for a local planner in this magical island for your wedding, elopement or vows
renewal Daphne must be your choice and you won’t regret it.
Thanks my dear Greek collegue, I’ll wait for you in Puglia next year!
Best wishes,
Serena e Cosimo, Italy

Liebe Daphne, vielen Dank für deine Unterstützung bei unserer Hochzeit. Wir sind immer
noch sehr glücklich und würden nichts anders machen. Trotz Corona-Pandemie hat
schlussendlich alles funktioniert. Leider mussten wir unsere Hochzeit um ein Jahr
verschieben, also waren da immer Gedanken rund um das Event. Du hast uns aber
angeboten, jederzeit mit dir telefonieren zu können, wenn wir etwas auf dem Herzen
hatten. Jeden Wunsch hast du umgesetzt und hast verstanden, was uns wichtig war. Alles
war im Vorfeld gut organisiert – Termine mit der Band, der Visagistin, dem Fahrer und die
reibungslose Beschaffung der Dokumente.
Wir wünschen dir weiterhin viel Erfolg und Glück auf dieser einzigartig schönen Insel!
Wenn du mal in deiner richtigen Heimat bist, komm uns gerne in Köln besuchen…
Und entschuldige bitte die verspätete Bewertung. Corona war schon wieder schuld…
Herzliche Grüße,
Sarah & Sascha, Germany
Daphne worked with us over 18 months
Scott & Emma
Daphne worked with us over 18 months to organise our amazing wedding on Skopelos
which included 45 guests travelling from a number of locations. Daphne was fantastic
throughout and we were lucky enough to meet Daphne on Skopelos a year before the big
day. Daphne took a day out of her busy schedule to take us to a number of potential
locations for the ceremony and reception, from which we then made our final plans.
Throughout the whole experience Daphne was organised, took care of everything and
made the whole experience as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. Daphne’s knowledge of
the island and contacts that she has resulted in the perfect day and we can not thank
Daphne enough for her help throughout. Everything was taken care of including the
organisation of transport from Skiathos for our large party due to the lack of ferries at the
time. For anyone who wants the ideal romantic wedding on the beautiful island of
Skopelos then we would recommend that you ask Daphne to help!
Scott & Emma Loveday, UK
Paul & June
Skopelos has always had a special place in our heart since our engagement there in 2016.
Since the moment we contacted her for our wedding, we were instantly put at ease.
Daphne puts her heart and soul in to creating your special day and we had regular
contact throughout.
Any questions we had Daphne had the answer for. At every step of the way she kept us
updated on the plan so far and offered assistance were needed.
Daphne helped with recommendations to make the day even more perfect.
Our wedding at the Agios Ioannis church was perfect as was the gorgeous bay of
Limnonari, well recommended.
Daphne made planning our wedding a fun and enjoyable experience and with no stress
involved. Daphne is an engaging and dedicated professional with a keen eye for detail,
she turned our vision and dream into reality and we cannot thank her enough, we feel we
have made a friend and look forward to seeing her again.
Paul & June, UK
Ian & Marilyn
Daphne made our wedding absolutely perfect in every way imaginable. She worked so
hard to make it everything we wanted and she paid so much attention to every detail. Our
wedding was magical and it couldn’t have happened without Daphne. If you are planning
a wedding in Skopelos then we cannot recommend Daphne’s Weddings highly enough
and we cannot see how you can do it without her! She is a very special person who
played a huge role in our special day and we will never forget her. Thank you so much
Daphne for everything you did for us.

Matthew & Rozanne
Daphne is amazing. Given a tough timeframe (4 months), a unseasonal winter storm which
wiped out our preferred venue with weeks to go and a bride and bridegroom with a hazy
knowledge of the greek wedding formfilling bureaucracy she managed to overcome all
these hurdles to deliver us the wedding of our dreams! Frequently she gave us ideas and
suggestions for the day that we hadn’t thought of ourselves (the just married boat ride
into the agnontas harbour in particular was a great call and a spectacular arrival – loved it!)
and she was efficient, thoughtful, organised and creative at all stages through the
process, always with a smile on her face. We were particularly grateful for her hands on
support all the way through the week once we made it to the island and the dedication
on the day itself; from joining us at 9am to help set up the venue to sticking out it out till
3am to make sure all our guests got home. She’s a proper friend for life and we love
coming back to say hi to Daphne and catching up on island life – now with our new
daughter in tow. If you were ever thinking of getting married on the beautiful island of
Skopelos the first thing I would say is do it, and the second would be get Daphne…. you
wont regret either decision!

Richard & Chloe
We really did have a dream wedding – everything we’ve always wanted- and it was all
thanks to Daphne! Having been messed around by companies in England, we were so
grateful to meet someone we now call a friend – honest, hard working and very good at
her job.
We first met her in Skopelos in 2016 when we had a good chat and she showed us
possible venues and gave us ideas. We immediately bonded and kept chatting over email
and Skype for the following year. Obviously when you don’t live in a country, you need to
trust your wedding planner in having the right contacts, telling you the right prices, giving
you the best ideas and not deceiving you is any way. We totally trusted Daphne – she was
brilliant!
We got married in June 2017 and all of our friends and family said it was the best
wedding they’d ever been too. And we agreed! Everything we’d ever dreamt of and at a
very good price – much cheaper than getting married in the UK. Skopelos is stunningly
beautiful, friendly and great weather. What more could you ask for. We’d recommend it to
anyone. Thank you Daphne – we’ll never forget you!

It is hard to resume one year of emotions in just some lines.
We discovered Skopelos in September 2016 and we fell in love with this amazing and
unique island.
Therefore, we decided to get married there.
The 4th of July 2017, we fixed our wedding in Agios Athaniasios.
When Daphne brought us in this special and intimate square, my future husband and me,
we immediately understood that it was the perfect location for our day.
When the wedding day arrived, the location was perfectly decorated and every single
details was perfect.
It was amazing to celebrate our day in Skopelos with our family and friends coming from
Switzerland!
Daphne was the perfect coordinator; she stayed with us the entire day and night, helping
us when necessary and transmitting us all her energy.
With her sweetness and passion, she managed to create the right atmosphere and
everyone was enthusiastic.
We will never forget this wonderful and magic day and we would like to say, once again,
THANK YOU DAPHNE for making our dream came truth!

Pieter & Larissa
The first time we set foot on Skopelos Island was to get married there, a great adventure
because apart from the wedding date we did not know how we wanted to do it, because
we had never seen this stunning island before. We can not deny that we found that
choice exciting because we also expected 19 quests. The moment we had the first real
life meeting with Daphne, all tension disappeared and confidence came in its place.
Because Daphne knows the island by heart, the wishes we had could be translated by her,
eveything could be done in our own way and at our choice. Nothing felt forced. In the
week to the wedding we could always call Daphne for questions or whatever, that gave a
save feeling. On the evening of the wedding, Daphne was there. She made sure that the
evening went as desired. If we had to make the choice again, Skopelos would become
our wedding island again and Daphne the wedding planner for sure.
Pieter & Larissa, Netherlands
James & Cammy
Couldn’t have done it without Daphne, She completely removed all of the stress out of
the tricky process of getting married abroad, she arranged everything for our day and was
a great communicator on the lead up too, often chatting over Skype to make sure that the
necessary paperwork was completed.
When it came to the actual wedding day, Daphne had arranged transport, photographer
musicians, cooled champagne as we were on the rock of Amarantos, this was very
thoughtful. She suggested that we got married at sunset due to the heat of the day and
the breath-taking photo opportunities. This was all great as we had never been to the
island before and Daphne’s experience in the planning and local knowledge was
invaluable.
We are from the UK and stumbled across Daphne the wedding planner after a quick
search online, she replied promptly and answered all of our questions and really seemed
to share our excitement for our upcoming wedding.
All in all we would not have changed anything and we feel lucky to have found such a
helpful and genuine wedding planner. We are still in contact with Daphne and will always
keep in touch.
Thanks again for making our special day all the more special.

We chose Daphne to organise our wedding in Skopelos last summer. Since we live abroad
it wasn’t easy to plan a wedding in Greece. Daphne helped us with all the details and
made the whole planning process a very stress free experience. She is very professional
and a very kind person.
Everything went as planned and both us and our guests had a magical weekend in
Skopelos!
