How do I begin?!

After my husband’s proposal last April I was immediately in contact with Maria. After a lot of research through goodness knows how many planners, I was pretty certain Maria was going to do the best job of them all, and I wasn’t wrong! From the very first contact to even now, after the wedding is over, Maria has been incredibly helpful, always responding in great time and never fussed by my constant barrage of questions and changing my mind about things.

I also very quickly learned to trust her judgement and advice. She has a fantastic quality to be able to put your dreams into a reality and I can honestly say even having been involved in the planning with her from beginning to end, I was completely shocked by how absolutely AMAZING the wedding and reception was, I couldn’t have imagined it would be so perfect.

My husband and I will never forget what a brilliant job Maria did, and every single guest has told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to (including their own!!). What can I say? Maria is attentive, perceptive, helpful, incredibly friendly, reassuring, and incredibly good at her job. I would recommend her services to absolutely anyone and am already trying to convince friends and family to employ her when their time comes… Steve and I would both like to say a HUGE thank you for everything you have done for us, and literally had the best time of our lives. You’re the best!!

Maria was absolutely amazing ..offering a very professional but personal service. All questions and queries were answered promptly. Maria thought of every little detail to make our wedding day extra special. Extremely good value for money and would recommend Santo Weddings by mk to anyone. Thank you so much for a magical day.

Maria was amazing! I was beyond stressed on my wedding day and she definitely put me at ease! I can’t thank her enough for all she did! 🙂

Maria and her team were exceptional from the first moment of contact until the last moments of the wedding. My husband and I are from the USA so when we decided to get married in Greece, it felt a little overwhelming with not knowing where to start. I reached out to probably 10-15 wedding planners, and Maria was not only the most quick to respond, but also immediately set up a zoom appointment with us for a free consultation. In the zoom call, she listened to us, answered questions, and had a vision for us by the end of the call. We decided right then not to look any further and to go with her, and we are very happy we did.

Despite there being an 8 hour time difference between us and Greece, Maria was extremely responsive. She was well organized, she provided excellent options for locations and photographers, and the vendors she chose for food, flowers, lighting, DJ, hair/makeup, etc were all phenomenal.

The day of the wedding went flawlessly- as the bride I had absolutely no stress because of the preparation and communication that Maria had provided throughout the process. We highly recommend Maria for anyone looking to marry in Greece!

Where do I even begin! If you’re thinking of it, just hire her on the spot! From the moment we met on Zoom I knew she was perfect. Throwing a destination wedding is a task in itself but with Maria by your side there is no need to fret. As a graduate student in her final year of school, Maria made the entire process seamless. With frequent and consistent communication all of my concerns and questions were always addressed. She turned our vision into life and made beautiful and impactful suggestions that truly made an everlasting impact on our wedding. We have been receiving endless compliments on our wedding with remarks such as “the best wedding ever.” Maria’s expertise go way beyond the wedding day, she was there for us 24/7. Her and her team took care of everything and we did not need to worry about one thing! She even held onto our wedding attire while we traveled internationally for our honeymoon. A true gem and must need for your wedding!! Maria will always be a huge part of our hearts and we consider her like family.

MK Events (Maria and her team) did a fantastic job in planning our wedding! They made our day an unforgettable experience, which was exceptionally organized to the tiniest detail and executed smoothly and efficiently! Maria listened to our needs during the whole preparation phase, she was flexible to take up new ideas or counter-proposals, she was super responsive, she provided us with very good vendor recommendations and the result (timeline, decoration, service, etc) was absolutely stunning! All the guests had a great time, Maria stayed there the whole time and was the last one to leave the venue! We are super happy to have worked with her. It’s nice to feel like a guest in your own wedding and not have to worry about anything – she and her team were there to take care of all the details. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without her! We truly thank her and highly recommend MK Events to everyone who wants to have a wonderful, cool, and stress-free wedding! ❤️

!

We cannot recommend highly enough ! We had a pleasure to work with amazing Maria and Christina. Our wedding day was absolutely magical and perfectly organised ! We didn’t have to worry about a thing. No challenge or obstacle was too big for that team !
We did speak to them before the wedding, but what we have seen and experienced throughout the day absolutely exceeded our expectations!
Would recommend to anyone who is planning their special day ????‍♀️????‍♂️
Thank you MK EVENTS ❤️
Ps. We miss you already and hope our paths will cross again at some point in the future xxx

Maria helped us plan our elopement on the island of Milos in Greece. We’re American, and she overcame the distance, helped us make sense of the required documentation, and aided us through any and all language barriers. She even played the role of translator during our ceremony and served as a witness at town hall. What was supposed to be a quick planning/elopement for us turned into 18+ months of planning and rescheduling due to COVID. Maria was with us every step of the way and was patient, flexible, and kind. She helped to make sure we were both comfortable with our plans in a place we had no prior knowledge of. She arranged amazing vendors to help make our vision come true and worked closely with our hotel and restaurant to bring our post-wedding dinner to life. Since it was just the two of us at our elopement, she made sure we felt supported and taken care of. She even went above and beyond taking me to my hair and makeup appointments before the wedding. We’d hire Maria again in a heartbeat.

From the very beginning when we met Maria over a zoom call she put us at ease and was so understanding with our vision of our wedding. She added to our ideas to create the perfect picture of our day. The pandemic made it so difficult, having to move our wedding date not once but twice. But, in this time Maria was so calm and understanding and was always so helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner, our special day was made that bit more special with Maria putting together absolutely everything we asked for, and more!
We will never be able to thank Maria enough for

Maria was wonderful from start to finish. She was very informative and gave us lots of options regarding our Wedding in Santorini. She understood our colour scheme and how we wanted our special day to be. We highly recommend Maria, she truly has a great passion for wedding planning and really cares about you as a couple and making your Wedding Day the best day possible. If you check out the hashtag #KaderSmithWedding on Instagram, you will see a glimpse of our wedding and the decorations Maria carefully put together.

We cannot speak highly enough of Maria, she made our wedding day absolutely perfect. She was easy to deal with, always replied to emails quickly, and made the venue look beautiful on the day. Every vendor we used was thanks to her recommendation and she made sure we got excellent value for money and incredible service every step of the way. The entire wedding planning process was completely stress free for us, and that is entirely thanks to Maria. If you’re looking for a perfect wedding in Santorini, Maria is definitely the wedding planner to use!

Maria and her team really went above and beyond our expectations.
All the team respected all our wishes and planning for our wedding. Communication was always on time. Our wedding ceremony and party run smoothly. Maria & Emmanuella we will see you again in our baby’s chtistening. 100% recommended if you want a professional service and guidance for your wedding. Love Eirini & Lambert Sifnos 27/6/21

Maria is the most amazing, caring, thorough, and knowledgeable professional my wife and I have ever worked with. Everything we discussed with her prior to the wedding was taken care of and fully implemented by Maria just as we had wanted and expected. Maria is very responsive via email, Skype, and telephone, and she is always available to discuss your needs and desires in order to ensure a smooth, stress free, and perfect wedding. Maria is also helpful in helping you find a venue, church, stefana, clothing, dinners, gathering and filing all necessary paperwork and legal documents, etc. She gave us great advice and recommendations for our wedding photographer and videographer, as well as our private dinner cruise in Santorini to view the Oia sunset. Maria is definitely the most trustworthy and professional person we have worked with and we highly recommend her for all of your wedding needs.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with Maria and her team for pulling off such an amazing wedding, based exactly on our personal preferences! Maria is extremely professional and she provided excellent and of high quality customer service. We felt from day one, during our first meeting, that we were in good hands. She provided a lot of ideas, through moodboards and photos and she mixed her ideas with our ideas in a very creative way! We received wonderful feedback from our family and friends on how lovely, professional, and creative everything was! Especially the flowers, the party decoration and the fact that everything went according to plan! She made us feel that everything was under control and it actually was!!! We totally and without second thought recommend Santo Weddings by mk!

Maria went over and above to make our day special. She met our brief and was a pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend her enough. We are nigerian and she managed to deal with very specific requirements. From the flowers to the decor it was stunning! All our guests keep saying our wedding was the best they have ever attended!! Thanks Maria!!!!

Maria helped plan a proposal for me. She was able to take my ideas and turn them into a 3 day secret event leading up to the proposal. Maria organised everything from accommodation to private dinners to musicians to camera crews and fireworks. I can highly recommend Maria, she made my now fiancee days very memorable. Thanks Maria.

Maria is wonderfully helpful, responsive and we were really please with the result of our wedding. The flowers, decorations, seating charts were beautiful. We would really recommend her services!

Maria was an excellent wedding planner Our wedding was everything we wanted and more She is very efficient and organised and would respond to my emails so promptly Thanks for everything

Maria is professional. She got all our stuffs covered. I love every single details she prepared for my wedding.

Dear Maria, once more thank you so much for all to make our wedding unique!!! Perfect planning, wonderful flowers, elegant and romantic decoration & great ideas (Catamaran tour)!!!

Maria organised a great event for our daughter’s Christening. Maria’s professionalism, attention to detail, expertise and dedication she puts into her work. From our experience, any obstacle however big or small she confronts head on, always with successful outcomes.

Dearest Maria, We just wanted to say a Big Thank you for the amazing Job you did at our wedding on Sunday 27.7.2014 .You made our reception, pre-drinks and church look perfect! Thank you! Always Paul and Tina xoxoxox

I couldn’t be happier with how my wedding day went. Maria took my ideas from a pinterest board and turned them into a perfect wedding day. I am glad that I trusted her creativity and knowledge of the venue. The flowers and decorations were beautiful. She added some fantastic finishing touches such as fans for the guests, cupcakes and dancing shoes. The fireworks display she suggested really made the day special, photographer she recommended was brilliant and we have had a lot of great comments about the musician she found for the drinks reception. We had a good level of contact over the 12 months including Skype conversations and many emails which Maria always responded to very quickly. On the day Maria was around and organizing everything in the background to ensure it all went smoothly. The organization of the venue and legal side was very good. We had a few issues with the Greek Embassy and we have fed back to Maria some helpful information for future but otherwise we had very clear and easy to follow instructions. Thank you Maria, it really was the best day!!

The wonderful Maria planned our epic wedding weekend for us here in the beautiful Santorini. We’re from the UK so had no local knowledge or proximity to organise the event hence we relied on Maria heavily to make our day fantastic and boy it really was! The girl is magic! ✨ Our event held at the beautiful Celestia Grand Villas (with the legendary Nikos) and the reception hosted by the lovely Liz at Santorini Gem. Maria made the day smooth, effortless and awesome for us. Not only is she a fantastic wedding planner she is awesome a kind, beautiful and fun person. All our guests loved her – she was truly one of the gang. She recommended great bands and DJs – the guests were singing along to power ballads in the first hour of the ceremony. I also must note that I felt poorly the day before the wedding and she offered to take me to the pharmacy to get some remedies that cured me completely. As you can tell Maria went over and above as a wedding planner. Oh – she’s also a floral genius too . Thank you Maria! You are in the perfect job for you! Much love X x x

Maria,

I cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding a perfect and memorable day.
I loved the decorations and your creative touch. I appreciate you taking care of very last minute things very promptly and elegantly. Thank you also for being at our wedding the entire time celebrating love with us.
Lastly, thank you for enjoying my favorite tequila with me as we sneaked out of the wedding for a second 🙂
Much success to you and my very best for a joyous life!

Our decision to have our wedding ceremony in Santorini was very last minute. Living in the US, with only a month to plan, we were completely clueless on where to begin. Maria was extremely understanding, and explained all the options available to us. After exchanging a few emails and phone calls, she had everything taken care off. We felt very confident in her abilities and more so after we met her the day before our ceremony. The hair and makeup artists were great and our photographer was amazing. We had a lot of fun taking pictures around the town after the ceremony. Thank you again Maria for making all this happen for us, it was exactly what we wanted. It was a pleasure to meet you and I hope you stay in touch!

We had our wedding at Petit Palace on June 6th, 2015 and Maria was our wedding planner. Everything had been absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. Maria has an amazing talent for wedding planning and her attention to detail is spectacular. The design, flowers, candles and decorations were breathtaking and she stayed with us the entire night ensuring every detail is executed perfectly. Maria is simply amazing and we are lucky to have found her!! Thank you so much Maria for making our dream wedding come true!

Maria was fantastic to work with. It was really easy to communicate by email as we planned our wedding with her. We live in the United States and had never been to Santorini. We sent some photos for color/theme/design, and she got it all exactly right. Cost and options were clearly discussed and very reasonable. She even accommodated any last minute change we had. We highly recommend getting married on Santorini and make sure you have Maria as your wedding planner.

Thank you so much Maria for making our special day simply perfect! It was the #bestdayever! Every details was beautiful and personal and just what we wanted. We couldn’t have asked more of a wedding planner, you took care of absolutely everything, nothing was too much trouble, you fixed all those small problems making sure that we did not have to be stressed about anything! And aside from planning our fairytale wedding and getting us an unbelievable upgrade, your additional assistance with recommendations and last minute booking of tours, restaurants, bars and organising a doctor for one of our sick guests was beyond the call of duty. We also greatly enjoyed your company and friendship throughout the whole process. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you again very soon. Baci.

Our wedding was on 7 September 2014 on Santorini. And we are more then happy to tell “Thank you” to Maria and her team! This charming young lady helped our dream to become true. She was like reading our mind, helping us with lots of details. We could not imagine that everything will be so wonderful. Everything was made professionally to the every small part (from decoration till buffet). And every detail were like magic. Maria is the best wedding planner indeed. She was very helpful, supportive and fast to respond on any our inquiries and desires. We definitely will recommend Maria and her team to all our friends! To our mind Maria is the best person to help your wedding become wonderful, and even better. Thanks again Maria and good luck on you way of making people happy!
