Once again, here at MV Properties, we had the honour of organising this memorable week of events for the lovely Bride and Groom, Mary and Ektoras here on Ithaca Island. We couldn’t have asked for a better and perfect week of sunny weather, in September 2024. Together with the help of our great team members these string of events were very successful.

Guests flew into Greece from all around Europe, America and Australia. A welcome dinner on Wednesday took place at the local restaurant Trexadiri, where we at MV Properties had organised welcome packs from Babaloo shop in Vathi. These were given to all our guests travelling from far as an introduction for our traditional island. The bride and groom chose specifically what they wanted to treat the guests with to make this a memorable wedding of ceremonies. A Greek eye souvenir, olive organic soap, local Ithaca caps, a small bottle of Greek oil, a candle and matches with the labelling created by the bride herself. Lastly a programme designed to inform everyone of the events ahead of time.

The floral arrangements were a mixture of white flowers set on the tables outside, done by Anemolia Smaragda. The catering was served by Trexadiri restaurant. Greek dishes, with local drinks were enjoyed by the couple’s family and friends, sharing the Ithacan traditions and experiences.

Moving onto the rehearsal dinner which took place on the Friday night at To Xani, where one can enjoy the views of Kefalonia island for sunset, and Vathy bay sea views. It is a private venue, and guests were welcomed with light snacks and drinks. Then a full menu was served buffet style with Greek traditional dishes, salads, starters, meats and fish, ending off with sweets. The flowers were arranged by Anemolia Smaragda, in beautiful, colourful wild flowers as per bride’s wish. After dinner, the dancing continued until late by DJ Dimos, playing both Greek and modern music. The guests had a real good time dancing, and it was a night not to be forgotten.

Thank you to all of the MV team, our providers, and contractors to make these events happen. 

Earlier that day we organised a private boat with Hermes Boat coming from Poros and arriving at Vathi bay where the guests were picked up from. The boat day begun while enjoying the island hopping on and off to explore beaches. The programme consisted of a stop at Platinamos beach in Afales bay. A ride past Marmakas Bay, with the iconic Ag. Nikolaos church, a lunch stop at Kioni bay and a last swim at Gidaki beach before returning to Vathi again. It was a fun day, that everyone enjoyed.
