Weddings in Folegandros
The only full-service wedding planning team based on Folegandros — 30+ weddings every season, from Panagia elopements to 150-guest Chora celebrations.
Folegandros is the quiet jewel of the Cyclades — a windswept island of whitewashed villages, dramatic cliffs and an Aegean horizon that seems to go on forever. For couples who want the romance of a Greek island wedding without the crowds of Santorini or Mykonos, Folegandros is unmatched.
We are the only full-service wedding planning agency based on the island. From the iconic Panagia chapel perched 200 metres above the sea to candlelit dinners in the marble-paved squares of Chora, we know every venue, vendor and shortcut by heart. Our team plans 30+ weddings here every season — from intimate two-person elopements to multi-day celebrations for 150 guests.
Folegandros is reached by a 2-3 hour ferry from Santorini, Milos or Piraeus. The island has limited but charming accommodation, which means your wedding feels like a private island takeover. Best months: late May to early October.
