As Destination Wedding Planner I have already seen many extraordinary wedding locations – in Europe and beyond. And yet there are always places where I immediately think: This is exactly where something truly special can happen.
I discovered a location in Mykonos that definitely belongs to these places for me. Not only because of its location and atmosphere, but especially because of the possibilities it offers for a Luxury Destination Wedding offers.
And that’s exactly why I don’t want to simply present you with a wedding location today. I want to show you how a complete wedding experience can be created around this place. Wedding Weekend in Mykonos could happen – from the first shared arrival until the last relaxed morning on the island.
What a Wedding Weekend on Mykonos Actually Means
A wedding weekend is not just about the actual wedding day.
For me, the planning starts much earlier with the question, How the entire weekend should feel for the guests.
For example, the following questions play a role:
- How do the guests arrive in Mykonos?
- How does the weekend start?
- How do the guests get to know each other?
- How do the transitions between the individual program elements feel?
- What moments ensure that the weekend doesn’t feel like a series of individual events?
- How can enough space be created so that guests can truly enjoy Mykonos?
- And how does the weekend end so that the farewell is still part of the entire experience?
The goal here is not to cram as many program events into a few days. Rather, a thoughtful guest experience, Where the individual moments build up to one another and there is still enough space to enjoy the island and the shared time.
Before I show you what a wedding weekend on Mykonos can look like in reality, I would like to first introduce the location around which I developed this concept.
A special luxury wedding location in Mykonos
The location is right on the beach and offers several areas that can be beautifully combined during a wedding. Around 90 guests can celebrate here.
The location includes a Pool, a private chapel and a small beach. The beach is not private, but guests can also use it to relax by the sea from time to time.
What makes the location particularly interesting for me is the flexibility: You can spend just part of your wedding day here, or book the location exclusively and combine the ceremony, dinner, and other moments of your wedding in one place.
35 rooms and space for about 90 guests
If you book the location exclusively, you have the all 35 rooms in the location It is available. This means that a part of your wedding party can stay overnight right there, and the accommodation can be integrated directly into the Wedding Weekend.
For the Overnight stay in the 35 rooms If you are about 20,000 euros per night calculate.
For all other guests, the Accommodation as part of the Wedding Planning Organized individually and tailored to the entire weekend.
What happens if the location is not rented exclusively?
The location does not necessarily have to be booked exclusively. The options for exclusive use depend on the season as well.
If the location is not rented exclusively, you can only stay there for 11 pm celebrate. After that, the wedding party must leave the venue.
The variety of options opens up new possibilities for planning the wedding day: For example, you can spend several parts of the day at the venue or use it for just one specific moment – such as the ceremony – and then continue the celebration at another location.

This is what a complete wedding weekend on Mykonos could look like
A special location is always just a part of a whole. Destination Wedding. At least as important is the question, What the guests experience around the actual wedding day.
That's why I want to show you how I created a complete setup around this location. Wedding Weekend could present on Mykonos – from the first shared arrival to the relaxed farewell.
Day 1: Sunset Welcome on the Water
Your guests will first arrive in Mykonos and be met with an organized Airport transfer collected. This way, they can start the Wedding Weekend relaxed and directly, leaving everyday life behind them, and don't have to worry about anything else after arriving.
In the evening, the first joint program event of the weekend begins.
An elegant yacht for sunset
At the start, you meet on a elegant yacht. Together, you will travel along the most beautiful beaches of Mykonos at sunset.
On board, your guests get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere, interact with each other, and enjoy their first shared hours on the island. Experienced DJ The evening is accompanied musically, and there are also chilled drinks and small Greek snacks.
The first evening is deliberately kept quiet. It is not about the big party yet; it is about a light get-together where everyone gets to talk to each other and the anticipation for the next day grows.
Finally, the actual wedding day awaits the next day. And your guests are supposed to experience it with a fresh mind and full of energy.
Optional: a Private Shopping Experience in Nammos Village
As an additional experience, a Private Shopping Experience in Nammos Village To be part of the Wedding Weekend.
It’s not just about going shopping together; the idea is rather a deliberately curated experience, for example with a private appointment at a luxury brand.
As a special souvenir, each guest could have their own Hermès bracelet Choose from a classic gift for guests. This turns a traditional gift into a personal experience where everyone can choose the model that suits them best.
The bracelet also serves as a reminder of the Wedding Weekend and can be worn long after the wedding.
Day 2: The wedding day
On the second day, the actual wedding takes place. For me, however, this day doesn’t begin with the ceremony.
Also the Arriving at the wedding location It can already be part of the entire staging.
The journey will be part of the Experience
My recommendation would be two to three Maybach shuttles having the guests arrive one after the other and bringing them together to the wedding location.
Even when boarding, soft lounge music plays – perhaps even music that guests already know from the airport transfer. This creates a connection between the different parts of the weekend from the very first moment.
It should not feel like an ordinary transfer, but like the moment when the actual wedding day begins.
Personalized Welcome Bags for the guests
There is one waiting on every seat Personalized Welcome Bag with the Wedding logo.
For me, with details like these, it’s important that they not only look beautiful. They should also be practical. practical, high-quality and at the same time connected to Mykonos be it.
The ceremony right on the beach
Once you arrive at the wedding venue, your guests will walk down the stairs to the Ceremony Location right on the beach. The umbrellas and baskets are already ready and Maren, the wedding officiant, welcomes the guests personally.
The ceremony itself must remain deliberately emotional and intimate. In such a setting, I don’t need any additional spectacle. The sea, the location, and above all, the actual moment must be the focus.
A short moment to breathe in the pool
After the ceremony, it would not immediately proceed to the next major program item.
Instead, the guests get Pool area First, a moment to breathe and refresh. Drinks and water are available, and a stage in the pool can also be part of the setting.
Meanwhile, the bride and groom can briefly get together Couple Shooting disappear.
It would be important for me to avoid making a long break from this. The guests should not get the feeling that the wedding day is interrupted. Instead, everything should develop smoothly, while the couple also gets a short time to take their photos together.
Dinner and Party at Scorpios
After the ceremony and the short get-together by the pool, I would recommend that you change the atmosphere again. Together, we can do it Maybach shuttles continue to the Scorpios.
Scorpios It is one of the most famous locations on Mykonos and combines restaurant, beach, sunset and music. Besides the restaurant, there is, among other things, a terrace and various areas on the beach that can be used for dinners, events and shared evenings.
For this Wedding Weekend, I would deliberately avoid the area not book completely exclusively. That’s what makes the experience for me. You’re not celebrating in a completely enclosed wedding venue; you let the special atmosphere of Scorpios and Mykonos become part of the evening. At the same time, Scorpios also offers private and semi-private areas for events, so the wedding party can still create their own atmosphere.
I imagine a situation here Long-lasting shared table Before, you sit down with your guests to enjoy good food and drinks and watch the sunset over the sea. Large communal tables and outdoor dinners are already part of the restaurant’s concept.
Later, the mood changes and the dinner turns into a party. An international DJ takes on the musical accompaniment And the guests can dance, celebrate and enjoy Mykonos together.
From this moment on, I no longer need a traditional wedding program.
Day 3: Slow Greek Morning
After that evening, I would consciously choose not to go out the next day. no early program item plan ahead.
The last morning together can slowly begin.
To conclude, I propose a cozy Greek breakfast before.
The table has the following items:
- Greek coffee
- Frappe
- fresh bread
- Fruit
- local specialties
Everyone sits down again, talks about the previous evening and ends the Wedding Weekend together.
There is no strict schedule or next program point that everyone has to arrive on time for. Just one more final morning together in Mykonos before the paths slowly separate again.
What a luxury wedding weekend on Mykonos costs
The concept described here is deliberately moving within Luxury segment.
For a wedding weekend in this form, you should plan on a total budget of at least 500,000 euros.
How this budget ultimately looks will of course depend heavily on which elements you actually want to implement – for example, yachting, transfers, guest gifts, a shopping experience, or a dinner and party at Scorpios.
For me, however, it’s not about cramming as many luxurious elements into a weekend as possible. They should be connected to each other and together create a unique experience. Guest Experience creating a journey that runs from arrival to departure.
