Orthodox Weddings

Orthodox weddings in Crete can take place in majestic Cathedrals or cozy Chapels, depending on the couple's preferences and guest list size. At Glam Events, we customize each ceremony to ensure it meets both religious traditions and legal requirements.

We Plan Orthodox Weddings

Our expert wedding planners at Glam Events specialize in organizing Orthodox weddings in a variety of church settings, from grand Cathedrals to intimate Chapels. The choice of venue is influenced by the couple’s preferences, family traditions, and guest list size. Specifically, we pride ourselves on curating bespoke Orthodox wedding experiences that are thoughtfully tailored to each couple’s unique vision, ensuring that every detail reflects their style and values.

Before the ceremony, it is essential to complete the necessary paperwork and obtain a marriage license through the local church hosting the wedding. This process includes submitting required documents and securing approval from church authorities, ensuring that the wedding meets both religious and legal standards. Also, this step not only provides peace of mind but also guarantees that the wedding holds significance within the Orthodox Christian community, strengthening the couple’s spiritual foundation as they begin their married life together.

Cathedrals, with their majestic architecture, awe-inspiring scale, and rich historical significance, offer an extraordinary setting for larger ceremonies. Specifically, their expansive interiors are ideal for guests seeking grandeur and reverence, making them the perfect choice for couples who envision a wedding full of elegance and tradition. The beauty of these iconic venues elevates the entire wedding experience.

In contrast, Chapels provide a more intimate and personal atmosphere, making them ideal for smaller, private gatherings. Despite their more modest size, Chapels maintain the same deep spiritual ambiance essential to an Orthodox wedding. Whether large or small, each venue offers its own unique charm, allowing every couple to create the Orthodox wedding of their dreams.
