    Everything we dreamed of and more!

    I couldn’t speak more highly of Heras Weddings and the amazing experience we had from start to finish! Ellie and her team are exceptional wedding planners, catering to every request and never failed to source something for our dream wedding!

    From the very first phone call that we had, Ellie made us feel comfortable and made the entire process seamless, especially when planning from Australia! It was an easy decision to choose to plan our wedding with Heras after the first moment we met with her!

    Her styling is beautiful and was unique to us, and on the day, Ellie and Rena felt like part of our family! All of our guests loved having the team with us on the day, and every details was pure perfection!

    My husband and I are so beyond grateful for the amazing team and experience we had with Heras! We would recommend them to anyone planning to get married in Greece, you will enjoy every moment and experience with Ellie, Rena and Sissy as your dream team!

    10/10 Recommend Ellie!

    After having hired a different wedding planner originally, I parted ways with them and hired Ellie / Hera’s Weddings and it was a COMPLETE 180 experience. Ellie was extremely responsive, communicative, proactive & attentive - everything a bride planning a destination wedding would want :) she helped us select great vendors and our dream Greece 2023 wedding was a perfect reality.

    Do yourself a favour and choose Hera’s!!

    Where do I start? We met Ellie after a quick Google search over a video call to discuss the possibility of my now husband and I getting married in Santorini. We had a number of other discussions lined up afterwards and when we ended the call we both agreed that Ellie was the perfect person to go with.
    The only way I can describe her is sunshine in a human! We instantly felt comfortable with Ellie and she made the whole process of planning a wedding super easy! We did a couple of trips out to Santorini so we could choose the “big stuff” after seeing and tasting. Ellie and her fantastic sister Rena (who is also sunshine but with a little spice!) took us to a number of venues and organised menu/cake tastings. They were also very clear that if we didn’t love something that we could keep searching. We never felt pressured to use specific vendors or make decisions on the spot. And when planning the rest from London, Ellie and Rena would send us options for everything from the photographer to the cutlery! There was always so much choice which made life easy for us but also helped us feel like we had a role in planning the entire wedding, despite living abroad.
    As it was a destination wedding we had a relatively small number of guests (33). We wanted a dreamy romantic wedding that had a little fun injected into it too. Ellie and Rena supported some of our more out there decisions such as having flower men with baskets full of petals and also me cutting my waist length hair to my shoulders when I changed into my second dress. Rena is a hair stylist too so it was great that I had known her for a couple of years as I had absolute faith she would knock it out of the park - and she absolutely did. It was a great moment.
    Both us and our guests had the time of our lives. The whole day/night was perfect, there were no issues whatsoever, and that is absolutely due to Heras hard work and professionalism. And thanks to them it’s widely being known as the wedding of the century in some circle!
    So do yourself a favour and contact Hera’s, you can thank me later!!!

    Incredible, Magical, & More Than We Could Have Ever Expected

    Ellie & the entire Hera's team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our whole wedding planning process was about 2 years long and they were there the ENTIRE time to answer our questions and provide us with any information that we needed. They provided us with the best vendor options and we are so beyond thankful for that. Communication was so easy and every little detail was thought of. All of our wedding dreams were made into a reality and to be honest, were even better than we expected. Ellie and her team did everything possible to make sure things were not only flawless for my husband and I, but for our guests as well.

    There was absolutely NO STRESS on our wedding day because Ellie and her team literally took care of everything. On our wedding day, they were at our venue directing and helping out all of the vendors and they stayed with us until our very last song played to end the night.

    Aside from all the pre-wedding planning, Ellie and her team also helped us plan the most incredible welcome dinner for our family & friends. Every little detail was thought about! They also made my husband and I feel so loved and welcomed on the island. If you are looking for a wedding planner based in Santorini, Hera's Weddings must be booked. We promise that you will not regret it and Ellie and her team will help all your wedding dreams come true!!!

    If you're looking for a wedding planner in Santorini, look no further!

    I cannot stress enough how fortunate I was to have chosen Ellie as my wedding planner. From the moment I first reached out to her, she was an absolute dream to work with. Despite my countless requests, multiple emails, and a flood of questions, she handled everything with unwavering patience and professionalism.
    The planning process leading up to my big day was a rollercoaster of emotions, but Ellie and her talented team was there every step of the way, putting me at ease and ensuring I felt supported throughout. Her responsiveness and attentiveness made me feel like my wedding was her top priority.
    One of the things that stood out the most to me was how Ellie and her team took care of every single detail. It was crucial for me to have top-quality vendors, especially for the makeup artist and hair stylist, as I couldn't have a trial beforehand. I was beyond thrilled when I saw the final result on my wedding day – they were absolute magicians! Their skills combined with Ellie’s excellent coordination ensured that everything ran smoothly, and I looked and felt a million dollars.
    Even during my last-minute stresses that inevitably come with wedding planning as the bride, Ellie remained calm and composed, which had a positive impact on me, and everyone involved. She handled any unexpected challenges with grace and found creative solutions to ensure everything was perfect.
    I genuinely felt like Ellie cared about making my wedding day as special as possible. Her passion for what she does shines through in every aspect of her work. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner, and I am forever grateful for her dedication and hard work.
    If you're looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond, is patient, understanding, and ensures top-notch quality in every detail, then I wholeheartedly recommend Ellie. She made my wedding day an unforgettable experience, and I am confident she will do the same for anyone lucky enough to work with her. Thank you, Ellie, for making my dream wedding a reality!

    P.S If you’re form Australia and looking for a thank you gift, some delicious Tim Tams will do the trick!

    Dream Elopement

    I can’t recommend Ellie and Heras Weddings enough! She helped us plan our micro wedding in Santorini and it far surpassed any expectations we had. It was literally a dream! All of the vendors she arranged were top notch professional, everyone from the photographer to the bartender. I can’t wait to return to Greece and plan my next event with Ellie!

    A true talent to work with!

    We cannot express our gratitude enough for Ellie Skourti and her team. My dream intimate symbolic ceremony & dinner with my now husband and I was something straight out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT wedding and it was all because of them. I came to Ellie with a vision, only giving her 2 months to plan and they worked their magic and brought it to life.
    She is a creative, talented and experienced wedding planner and we were incredibly lucky to have had her help. Trust me planning a wedding from FL and having a time difference can be stressful enough with emails and communication but Ellie always made us feel as though she had everything 100% under control. It's like she was reading my mind, it’s a joke we always said “Great minds think alike :)”. I loved everything she came up with! She respected my input and added her special designer eye to my ideas. The day of the wedding ran so smoothly and effortless, EVERYTHING was perfect. Ellie even offered to help book excursions, car rentals, food recommendations etc. once we got to Santorini. She is truly a magician and a wonderful soul to work with, you won’t regret it!

    The best wedding planner!

    When we decided to elope in Santorini with no guests, we thought we could handle the planning on our own because we had already booked the venue and photographer. Less than six months before, we decided that getting a wedding planner would be helpful. I asked our hotel/venue for recommendations and right when I got on the Zoom call with Ellie I knew she was a perfect fit. She is so kind, funny, responsive and lovely to talk to. It was such a relief knowing that she had everything taken care of. The vendors that she uses are great and it was nice knowing that she worked with the before. We were not stressed at all the day we got married and the day was just about us. I cannot imagine trying to find all the different vendors in a different country and then handling all the details the day of. Ellie was so amazing to work with and worth every penny!

    My d r e a m-come-true wedding

    I knew planning a wedding was always going to be a daunting task. I am very particular and probably would have struggled to realize my 'stress-free' dream wedding due to my very pedantic personality :). However, with my very first interaction with Ellie (Hera's Weddings), I knew she would capture my vision and create my perfect dream wedding. I immediately felt trusting towards Ellie and a big sense of relief knowing we made the right decision. Approachable, super friendly, reliable, talented, creative, enthusiastic, open-minded, loving, patient, detail-oriented (the list can go on) are just a few words describing the Hera team. I never felt like a crazy bride and they always had the ability to settle my nerves. I am a South African, living in Amsterdam, trying to arrange a wedding in Santorini and never thought that it could be so 'easy and doable'. Due to Ellie and Rena, it was just that. Their knowledge and recommendations regarding vendors were perfect and their built relationships benefited our wedding so much. I am truly grateful for them and the fact that I was treated as a special bride and I truly felt that I was the only bride in existence. The best description for my wedding is memorable and I believe all my guests will remember (and probably label it as a favorite) the wedding all thanks to Ellie and Rena. THE BEST (TRULY)! And I can't wait to renew my vows to do this all over again with them

    Amazing Experience

    Ellie and her team were incredible in helping us plan the perfect destination wedding. We had to postpone the wedding due to covid and Ellie made that transition very easy. From helping pick the perfect venue and vendors to planning a pre-wedding yacht day Ellie was always super responsive and really helped us pick the best things for the day. You really need to trust someone when planning a wedding halfway across the world and won't be able to see the final product for many things until the day of. We never had a doubt that Ellie would make everything perfect and she delivered! We could not recommend Heras Weddings any higher and appreciate everything they did for us to make everything absolutely perfect!

    Perfect from start to end

    We are a French couple ( sorry for our english so ) that looked for his wedding in Santorini. How we're glad to have found Ellie !!!
    Right from the beginning we feel we were in good hands : Ellie is very very nice and professional.
    She show us place we should have never find by ourselves but always in our taste ( and price ^^). She made everything so much simple by having connection in all Santorini but also by knowing and understanding exactly want we wanted ! Ellie give us always multiple choices for all ( flowers, ceremony, dinner, etc.)
    She made it through the covid crisis and the closure of the restaurant we originaly take for the dinner, and we never felt stressed, knowing she take care of everything.
    Ellie is always available for questions, and our conversation by mail was really a pleasure.
    Really, without her our wedding would have never been so magical and like us.
    The day of the wedding, Ellie was here and have managed everything, and again we felt no stress with her at our side.
    She was always smiling and having kind words to us. She is also very helpful for things beside the wedding : she know good places for everything.
    We will never thank her enough and you can take her for your wedding closed eyes !
    More than a wedding planner, she is a very nice person that really want to help you.
    In one word, she's perfect !

    Incredible, Talented, Professional, Priceless

    There are not enough words to describe how incredibly thrilled my husband and I were with Hera's wedding planning. The price of Hera's was more than reasonable for all the work that they did for us. They saved us a lot of money, time, and stress over our 7 month planning process.

    From the moment that we met Ellie through FaceTime, we had no questions that she would be an incredible wedding planner. Her and her sister were able to balance the professionalism required to be a wedding planner, while also making you feel comfortable as if you were family.

    Every email that was sent by Hera's was so kind and full of excitement. It opened with this greeting (that changed each time) towards the bride and groom and was one of the very small details that really made us feel special. Hera's offered us a variety of vendors to choose from with different prices and styles. They did all the contacting, negotiating, and planning which relieved so much stress. They made everything so simple for the planning process and the day of our wedding, I did not have to stress about anything! I repeat, the day of my wedding I was able to relax and just enjoy the day because Ellie and Rena took care of every little detail! I was able to be present and focus on what the day was really about (my husband and I) and that was all because of them. How many people do you know that talk about how stressed they were the day of their wedding that they weren't able to enjoy it? If you want to enjoy your wedding, I highly recommend hiring Hera's. I would never have been able to have the wedding of my dreams if it wasn't for Ellie and Rena. Thank you both so much for everything. It was the best day of my life thanks to you.




    She is one of the most welcoming, kind, and energetic individuals that we have ever met

    Made the process of arranging a wedding really enjoyable and easy

    We decided to get married in Santorini in 2021 during the Covid lockdowns. We felt lost at first on what/how/when needs to be arranged so we decided to ask Ellie from Hera's wedding to help us arrange the wedding details and we couldn t have made a better decision cause she went above and beyond with her enthusiasm, turning the process from stressful to something really enjoyable

    Ellie made us feel a part of her family

    From our first call with Ellie we knew we had picked the perfect wedding planner. The style we wanted for our elopement was quite unique, and Ellie made us feel like we were in safe hands from start to finish. Her local knowledge of Santorini locations, venues, and vendors is unbeatable; and without her guiding us through the Greek marriage requirements our wedding simply would not have been possible.
    Her regular and relaxed communications with us were extremely helpful, with advice based on our ideas, and filled with energy and joy which took so much of the stress out of the arrangements.
    Ellie and her team went above and beyond organising everything for our day; from the gorgeous antiques and flowers for our decorations, to helping us scout the most picturesque ceremony and photo locations. Even the small details like organising laundry services for us and helping us settle in when we arrived on the island. It was all so perfect, and just what we wanted for our day.
    Throughout the whole process Ellie made us feel like family. Open, warm, and full of fun and love. We feel so grateful to her and her team for making our day so wonderful and would recommend HERA’s Weddings to our own friends and family; and anyone thinking about getting married in Santorini.

    Amazing wedding planner

    Ellie was a great wedding planner. She is organised and helped us think through and plan every aspect of our special day. She is creative and passionate, which meant that she gave us lots of suggestions and helped us decide on the several things that needed organising. We did everything remotely, as we live in the UK, and Ellie was making sure that all vendors and services were booked and ready for when we got there. Everything went really smoothly. We would certainly recommend her, if you would want to have a stress free wedding in Santorini.

    Mrs Mimikos

    Great experience, everyone was next to me during the planning and took the stress away during the wedding day. It’s really important to have someone that knows what to do at all times.

    Ellie was amazing and one of the top professionas I’ve ever worked with.

    I totally suggest them.

    Ellie is the absolute best wedding planner in Greece

    Working with Ellie was a total dream, and without her we never could have pulled off our Santorini wedding. From the moment I emailed her saying we'd like to be married on the island just six weeks later, she made it clear we were in safe hands, and her suggestions and guidance shaped our whole experience. She knows all the best vendors and locations, her knowledge of the island and Greek marriage requirements kept us at ease, and her enthusiasm for life and love helped to make our ceremony even more memorable. I would recommend Ellie to anyone and everyone -- she's the absolute best at what she does, and a joy to be around, as well.

    Vow Renewal

    We wanted a simple Vow Renewal in Santorini, we had kept it a secret from our family and travelled to Greece by ourselves.
    Ellie was amazing and knew exactly what we wanted, hotel, views and simplicity..just us..she arranged everything from accommodation to photographer and a beautiful meal afterwards, this is just what we wanted to share our special day..a day I shall NEVER forget.
    I cannot recommend Hera's Wedding enough, whether it be a grand occasion or a simple occasion like ours.
