If you are already married and would like to celebrate a special anniversary by showing the love of your life how much you care then we can organize the setting and celebrations to follow.

E. What We Offer for the Reception
If you choose us to arrange and organize your reception then we can not only book the Taverna but discuss possible sample menus, wedding cakes, wine lists, and musical entertainment. It may even be possible for you to sit under the stars and have your dinner on the beach as ever the choice is yours.

The traditional Cretan reception is usually three courses with assorted cold plate appetizers to start, followed by good old fashioned roast lamb/pork with potatoes, and a Greek salad. The desert is usually ice cream and/or fresh fruit. There are also choices for vegetarians and a selection of menus to choose from.  It may not be Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsey pedigree, John’s two favorite chefs, but it would represent an affordable place to start.

Conclusion:
At ‘Romantic Weddings on Crete’, we are not just here to help you plan the civil and religious ceremonies as well as the reception but also the general holiday as well. So, from the moment you arrive with your guests at the airport we can help your time with us get off to a good start by recommending a reliable rent a car company, possible hotels, and places to go and see. Of course, if you want to host extended parties with friends and family and pamper yourselves even more then we can arrange for your own private villa for the vacation. So, while your pictures are being developed and you recover from a glorious reception we can also arrange for a private guided tour for you and your guests around the famous Cretan sites. It’s all up to you to decide!
