Search for Greece wedding packages all inclusive and you will meet a dozen resorts using the same words for very different things. Most Greek venue packages bundle the ceremony set-up, a coordinator and a few touches for the day. The reception, guest rooms and outside suppliers are usually quoted separately. This Wedded Wonderland guide puts ten Greek venue packages side by side by what each one includes.
For the wider picture, read what Greece wedding packages include and our guide to all inclusive destination wedding packages.
None of the ten venues in this comparison sells its wedding package as all inclusive. The phrase belongs to the holiday, not the wedding.
Ikos Resorts describes its Greek resorts, Ikos Aria on Kos among them, as stays where everything is included, yet its wedding package is a list of named items. At Grecotel Amirandes near Heraklion, all inclusive appears only as a hotel meal plan option, and the events page names no wedding package. Atrium Prestige in south Rhodes sells its premium all inclusive offer as a holiday, not a wedding package.
So the honest reading of "all inclusive" in Greece is this: your stay may be inclusive, and your wedding package covers what its list names. The reception, the bar and the extras usually sit beside it.
The common core is built around the ceremony and the couple, rather than the guests.
The date and the ceremony set-up. Elounda SA, Ikos Aria and Andronis each list the reservation or booking of the ceremony date and time. Set-ups range from a table with a seasonal flower display at Elounda SA to lanterns, petals and covered chairs at Euphoria Resort.
A coordinator or planner. Nana Princess has an event coordinator present throughout the stay on its Deluxe Dream package, Ikos Aria lists wedding planning and coordination, and Canaves includes event planning services in its packages.
Flowers for the couple. A bridal bouquet and boutonniere appear at Elounda SA, Euphoria Resort and Andronis.
A cake and a toast. Ikos Aria includes a cake to serve 10 people, Canaves a two-tier cake and a glass of sparkling wine for the toast, and Andronis a two-tier cake with a bottle of sparkling wine.
Touches for the couple's room. Rose petals, flower decoration or a turndown appear at Ikos Aria, Elounda SA and Andronis.
The reception is the largest piece that tends to sit outside. Elounda SA sets out reception food, beverage packages, open bars, dinner menus and entertainment as separate sections from its ceremony packages. Abaton books food and drink separately from its ceremony basics, and Euphoria Resort quotes receptions, beverage packages, open bars, custom cakes and entertainment separately on request.
Guest rooms are the second. Abaton's packages do not include accommodation, and several venues set a room or night minimum before a package applies. Some venues also require you to bring a wedding planner, which Santorini Gem makes a condition for every couple.
Fees set by others sit outside too. Elounda SA states that the Municipal fee for a civil wedding and the Metropolis fee for an Orthodox wedding are not in the package rate and are charged on top.
If you want a planner to assemble the whole wedding around a single quote, our guide to all inclusive destination wedding packages explains how that differs from a venue's own bundle.
The ten venues below are ordered by region, from Crete to Kos, the Cyclades and Athens. No money appears here: rates change, and inclusions are what tell packages apart. For more Greek settings beyond these ten, browse our Greece wedding collection.
Most of these packages are built around the ceremony and smaller groups. For a larger guest list, look first at Nana Princess, whose poolside restaurant seats up to 120, Abaton, with receptions of up to 300 guests, Canaves Epitome, which moves to a full buyout above 100 guests, the Myconian Collection, whose Horizons Ballroom seats 270 at round tables, and Four Seasons Astir Palace, whose catering runs to a gala dinner for 500.

Each entry below sets out what the venue's own wedding page or brochure includes, and what it leaves out. The venues are grouped by island or region, in the same order as the table.
Crete holds four of the ten packages here. For the island's settings in more depth, see our guide to Crete wedding venues.
Elounda SA Hotels & Resorts, Elounda. The group's wedding packages brochure covers civil, Greek Orthodox and symbolic ceremonies, with the reception set out separately from the ceremony packages. The civil and Orthodox package is the Lavish Wedding Package, and the symbolic option is the Symbolic Ceremony / Renewal of Vows package.
Before the day, the Lavish package includes the reservation of your date and time, your choice of ceremony venue, spa use and a tasting of your wedding menu for up to two people, without drinks. It also includes documentation help and settlement of the wedding licence, worked through with you and the local Municipality Office.
On the day, it adds a ceremony table with seasonal flowers, bouquet and boutonniere, and flowers and petals in your room afterwards.
Two terms shape the whole picture. Every package applies only when the couple stays at least three nights in one of the group's hotels. The Municipal fee for a civil wedding and the Metropolis fee for an Orthodox one are charged on top of the package rate and can change. The reception itself, from food and drink to open bars and entertainment, sits in separate sections of the brochure.
Nana Princess, Chersonissos. Nana Princess offers civil weddings on its private sandy beach, Greek Orthodox weddings in the Chapel of St George within the grounds, symbolic weddings led by one of its event coordinators, and vow renewals. It presents three packages, Deluxe Dream, Ultimate Passion and Essential Elegance, and will design a bespoke package to your brief.
Each package has its own character. Deluxe Dream brings welcome drinks, honeymoon suite touches and an event coordinator present throughout your stay. Ultimate Passion adds a pre-wedding tasting dinner, and Essential Elegance a private brunch with your guests.
Symbolic weddings include a choice of decoration schemes with fresh flowers and exclusive use of the chosen room or venue. Receptions can be held on a restaurant terrace, at the poolside restaurant seating up to 120 guests, or in the Conference Hall for a fully covered evening, as a served dinner or buffet. Once your date is booked, its event coordinator guides you through local registry office requirements and other formalities.
Abaton Island Resort & Spa. Abaton packages the ceremony and books the reception separately, and invites couples to choose a package or create their own. Its 2025 to 2026 wedding brochure sets out The Basics: ceremony, coordination, photography, videography, Chiavari chairs with covers, table decoration, bridal party flowers and a wedding arch, with a wedding coordinator preparing the details.
The Basics is the ceremony, not the evening. Gala dinner menus, cocktail receptions, beverage packages and open bars are booked separately. Each of the resort's spaces, from its restaurants to the open air theatre, ballroom and beach, carries its own venue fee.
Abaton's terms are specific. Packages do not include accommodation and apply with a booking of at least 10 rooms for at least 2 nights, depending on guest numbers, and a reception of at least 20 guests, up to 300.
Euphoria Resort, Kolymvari. Euphoria Resort offers three options, Elxi, Pathos and Eros, for an informal wedding or vow renewal, with a certificate of informal marriage from the hotel. The resort sits on the seashore at Kolymvari, west of Chania, and calls itself an Ultra All Inclusive resort, so here too the label belongs to the stay rather than the wedding.
Two witnesses and the hotel's official representative attend the ceremony. The hotel's certificate is for an informal ceremony, and Elounda SA's brochure states that symbolic weddings are not legally recognised in Greece, so ask the resort in writing what its certificate does and does not cover.
Elxi covers a beach or poolside setting with lanterns, petals and covered chairs, a bouquet, sparkling wine and a single-tier cake for up to 10 guests, and printed photographs. Pathos raises wine and cake to 20 guests and adds your own event coordinator, and Eros takes them to 30 guests with a jazz musician at the ceremony.
The resort is clear about the edges. Packages are complete, with no refund or substitute for unused items, and customising them comes at extra cost. Buffet, seated and cocktail receptions, beverage packages, open bars, custom cakes and entertainment are quoted separately on request.
Ikos Aria, Kos. Ikos Aria sits inside a resort brand built on an all inclusive holiday, yet its wedding page describes a wedding package with its own list. The resort's event planners and a devoted wedding planner coordinate the day, and the resort arranges accommodation for up to 30 guests.
The Special Wedding package covers the reservation of your venue date and time, wedding planning and coordination, help submitting the documents for a civil wedding and receiving the marriage certificate afterwards, a cake to serve 10 people and rose petals in your room on the day. Vows can be read in designated wedding spots within the grounds.
Santorini's packages tend to be built around time in a space, with hours, decibel limits and room bookings written into each one. Our guide to Santorini wedding packages and what they include covers the island in full, and our guide to Santorini wedding venues with caldera views covers the settings.
Canaves Collection, Oia. Canaves sets out its packages space by space in its wedding brochure, and its enquiry form lists religious, civil, symbolic and vow renewal ceremonies. The Panorama Balcony and Caldera Arches package at Canaves Oia Suites is a ceremony and dinner reception for up to 30 guests.
That package includes private use of the ceremony and reception area for up to 5 hours, until 11.30pm, event planning, recorded music, a sparkling wine toast, a basic table set-up and a two-tier cake. The same inclusions come in a Panorama Balcony elopement package for the couple alone.
Elsewhere in the collection, rooms become a condition. At the Veranda at Canaves Sunday, up to 20 guests means booking two suites for at least three nights, and 21 to 40 guests means a buyout of the property. At Canaves Epitome the room requirement rises with each guest band, up to a full buyout above 100 guests, each with a three-night minimum. Food and drink menus sit outside the packages.
Santorini Gem. Santorini Gem is a caldera venue with a wedding villa, and its Rental Packages 2026 sell space by the session. A morning Ceremony Wedding Terrace Exclusive Hire runs from 10.30am to 11.30am, with a white altar table, chandelier, lanterns, Tiffany chairs, a sound system, accessible facilities and a bridal suite.
Three evening Ceremony & Reception packages on the upper terrace and pool area run from 5pm to 1.30am: venue only, venue with day use of the villa, or venue with an overnight stay in the villa. Each includes the ceremony and table set-up, a sound system, an air-conditioned bridal room and in-house catering and bar.
The extras are written down. A gazebo comes at extra cost, an earlier start is charged per hour, and a fee applies for each guest beyond the base group. The venue policy requires every couple to have a wedding planner, and receptions call for a set menu for 20 to 80 adults or a buffet for more than 30, with the wedding cake outside the set menu.
Andronis, Oia. The Andronis Wedding Package in its 2026 wedding brochure includes preparation of the documents for the marriage licence, a marriage certificate in Greek, and coordination of your ceremony date and time with the Mayor, with two witnesses required. It also covers ceremony flowers, bouquet and boutonniere, a two-tier cake, sparkling wine, a private cliffside ceremony area and a romantic turndown.
Receptions can take a restaurant with full exclusivity or semi-private use, depending on the season. An officiant, florals, photography sessions, fireworks and other bespoke services can be arranged at an additional charge.
Myconian Collection, Elia. The Myconian Collection offers two routes: it can prepare the stage for your own team, or provide a complete event solution covering invitations, menus, specialist cakes, wines, flowers, favours, lighting, sound and music. It names no package.
Ceremonies can be held in a small whitewashed chapel, with the reception on the beach or in a restaurant. The team assists with officiating ceremonies across all denominations. Its kitchens are certified halal and kosher, with a South Asian chef for Indian cuisine. For more of the island, see our guide to Mykonos wedding venues.
Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens. Four Seasons Astir Palace publishes a list of Wedding Inclusions for couples who book a wedding. It covers the wedding night stay, a menu tasting for up to four guests, a dedicated wedding specialist and service team, your choice of venues, and premium furniture and tableware.
Florals come from preferred designers or your own florist, and the wedding specialist shares recommended photographers and entertainers. Private dining with exclusive use of one of four restaurants is offered, and catering runs from a buffet for 50 to a gala dinner for 500.
On Corfu and elsewhere on the mainland, Corfu Imperial and Costa Navarino name no package, and Grand Resort Lagonissi mentions wedding packages without publishing what they hold. Our guide to Corfu wedding venues covers the island's settings in more depth.
Two quotes compare only when they describe the same wedding. Set the guest count, the spaces, the hours and the nights first, then put each venue's answers to the same questions in one place.
Ask for every inclusion as a written line, not a summary. Packages that look alike in a headline often split at the detail: one includes a cake for 10, another a two-tier cake, a third leaves the cake outside the set menu.
Ask too whether items can be swapped. Abaton and Euphoria Resort both state that their packages are complete and items are not interchangeable.
Ask which parts of each quote are fixed and which move with your guest list. Abaton prices its menus, beverage packages and open bars per person. Santorini Gem charges a fee for each guest beyond its base group.
Questions to ask each venue:
Is the package price fixed, or per guest?
At what guest number does the package change, and what changes with it?
Are drinks priced by the hour, by the bottle or by package, and must every adult be included?
That last question matters. At Santorini Gem, an open bar package is optional, but once chosen it applies to all adults.
Ask how much is non-refundable, when each payment falls due and what happens if you postpone. Canaves takes a non-refundable deposit to secure the venue, with the balance and food and drink cost due one month before, and venue payments are always non-refundable. Santorini Gem takes a non-refundable deposit, with the rental balance due nine months before the wedding, food and drink paid 40 days before, and postponement only to the following season.
Exclusive use can mean one space for a few hours or a whole property for several nights. Canaves includes private use of its ceremony and reception areas for up to 5 hours, while its buyouts run to a whole hotel.
Ask how many hours the space is yours, when set-up can begin and whether the rest of the resort stays open to other guests. At Santorini Gem, set-up starts from 1pm on the day and nothing can be stored overnight.
Music limits are written into many Greek packages. Canaves allows music up to 60 dB until 11.30pm on its Oia Suites package, and up to 70 dB until 1am where the Elements Restaurant is added at Canaves Epitome. At Santorini Gem, music runs up to 80 dB, is lowered to listening level at 11pm and stops 15 minutes before the end time.
Ask what time the music stops, what volume is allowed and whether a DJ or band can play in the space you have chosen.
Heat shapes the timing as much as rain. Nana Princess recommends evening ceremonies because high-summer temperatures can reach 35 degrees C, setting ceremonies between 6.30pm and 8pm in July and August.
Ask where the ceremony and dinner move if the weather turns, and whether that covered space is held for you or shared. Nana Princess, for one, lists its Conference Hall for a fully covered reception.
Clifftop and terraced venues can mean steps between ceremony, dinner and rooms. Santorini Gem lists accessible facilities in both its ceremony hire and its evening packages. Ask every venue for a route without steps from arrival to ceremony, dinner and bathrooms, especially if older guests are travelling.
Santorini Gem, for one, publishes its rental fees in euros. Ask which currency and language the contract is written in, which currency each payment is taken in, whether card or bank fees apply, and who carries any change in the exchange rate between the deposit and the balance. Put both quotes in the same currency before you compare them.
A venue package suits couples who want one set of terms, one coordinator and a clear list of what the day includes. If your ceremony and reception sit in one resort, your guests stay there, and you like the look of the venue's own set-up, a package keeps the decisions few. It works especially well for smaller weddings and elopements. Canaves sells a package for the couple alone, and Euphoria Resort's options are scaled for up to 10, 20 or 30 guests.
Building your own suits couples who want full control of suppliers, a look that is theirs rather than the venue's, or a celebration spread across several places. Some venues are built for this. The Myconian Collection will prepare the stage for your own team, and Four Seasons Astir Palace works with your own florist.
A few honest trade-offs to weigh:
Simplicity versus flexibility. A complete package can mean no swaps and no refund for items you do not use.
Rooms. A package can tie you to a room or night minimum, which suits a guest list that wants to stay together and pinches one that does not.
The planner question. Some venues require a wedding planner on top of the venue, so a package does not always remove that cost.
For a fuller picture of what Greek packages contain, read what Greece wedding packages include, and for one island in depth, our guide to Santorini wedding packages.
The venues here host three kinds of ceremony. Elounda SA has a civil and Greek Orthodox package and a separate symbolic one, and Nana Princess offers civil weddings on its beach and Orthodox weddings in its chapel. Elounda SA's brochure states that symbolic weddings and vow renewals are not legally recognised in Greece.
A civil ceremony needs officially translated legal documents and two witnesses of legal age, and the Greek government sets the requirements. As at November 2026, Smartraveller notes that some countries ask for proof that nothing prevents you from marrying, most often with a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage, and the Australian Embassy in Athens issues these and apostilles by appointment. A marriage valid in Greece is in most cases legally recognised in Australia if it would also have been valid under Australian law, though it cannot be registered here. Municipal and church fees can sit outside a venue package, so confirm them with the municipality before you book.
Read Smartraveller's advice for Greece and contact the Australian Embassy in Athens for current requirements. For the steps in order, read our guide to the legal steps for marrying in Greece.
No venue package in this comparison includes flights, and most leave your guests' rooms to a separate booking or a stated minimum. Treat a Greek package as the wedding day, and plan the journey around it.
From Australia, a few questions decide how a package lands in practice:
Which currency is the contract in, and when does each payment fall due?
Which payments are non-refundable, and what are the postponement terms?
How many nights must you, or your guests, book, and at which hotel?
Does your travel insurance cover the wedding itself, including deposits paid to the venue?
If you want to marry legally in Greece, how long do your documents take to prepare and translate?
Ten venues, ten different ideas of what a package holds. The way through is the same set of questions asked of every venue, with the answers in writing and the quotes in one currency. For more planning reading, subscribe to our digital wedding magazine.
