    We were so lucky to find Sarah for our elopement. She made our day feel so special. She loves what she does and it shows with great communication, attention to detail and happiness. Thanks again for everything Sarah!

    Our wedding in October on the enchanting island of Rhodes was an intimate and beautiful ceremony, made even more special by our exceptional officiant, Sarah. Her professional demeanor was evident from the start. Sarah’s meticulous attention to detail and her ability to seamlessly blend tradition with our personal preferences made the planning process a breeze. Opting for the unique sand ceremony she offered, Sarah ensured that every aspect of the ceremony was meaningful and perfectly tailored to us.
    Sarah’s communication skills were nothing short of impressive. Throughout our interactions, she was always clear, concise, and incredibly responsive. She has this remarkable ability to understand and articulate our desires, turning them into reality with ease and grace. Her guidance and suggestions were invaluable, making the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. Her warm and engaging manner made us feel completely at ease, ensuring that our special day was both relaxed and beautifully orchestrated.
    The highlight, however, was Sarah’s speech during the ceremony. It was a perfect blend of humor and sentiment, striking just the right balance to reflect our relationship. Her words were touching, resonating deeply with us and our guests. Sarah has a natural talent for storytelling and an exceptional ability to connect with people, making everyone present feel included and important. Her speech was not just a highlight of the ceremony but of the entire day, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.
    So, if you are seeking for someone to officiate your wedding, Sarah really is the best choice.

    Sarah is the most amazing and beautiful Celebrant, nothing was too much trouble for her from the day we first contacted her, our day was exactly how we wanted it to be and it was even more special because we shared it with her, I can’t recommend her enough! ❤️

    We wanted to take a minute to extend our sincere thank you for the unforgettable experience with our vow renewal in Rhodes.  We are filled with immense gratitude for the time you — and your husband — invested to ensure we had such a memorable experience. You made the day so special for us.

    Renewing our vows has always had such a  special significance for us as we traveled this journey together.  You made the ceremony both meaningful and deeply personal. Your expertise and heartfelt delivery created an atmosphere of love and commitment that resonated with us and was so impressionable on Chris and Amy, who were celebrating their first anniversary.

    We were particularly touched by the wedding crowns, handcrafted by you, with love from your garden. It will be a memory the four of us will always share — and a symbol of the unity and everlasting commitment our marriages represent.  Your thoughtfulness added an extra layer of significance to the ceremony that we will hold dear forever.

    You made each ceremony feel unique and special — truly a gift, and we are so thankful that our best friends also had the chance to experience what we have held so dear for so long.

    Your professionalism and personal touch have left an indelible impression on us. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and much of that is thanks to you. We are forever grateful and look forward to staying in touch.

    My partner and I couldn’t recommend Sarah/her services more highly. From the moment we contacted her, to the most beautiful ceremony we could have hoped for, everything was easy and genuine and I can’t thank her enough. Sarah put a lot of time and effort into writing our ceremony and really sought to make it how we wanted. If you’re looking for a celebrant in Greece – look no further!

    Sarah was absolutely incredible to work with. So easy to speak to and available all throughout your planning process, she is lovely and easy to speak to. Sarah wrote the most beautiful ceremony for us, which captured our relationship perfectly! Our wedding was in Mykonos, she came on the day nice and early and worked with our wedding planner to ensure the ceremony area was perfectly set up.
    When Sarah delivered our ceremony, our guests and us were blown away! The ceremony script itself was great, but Sarah’s delivery topped it off. All our guests said she is the best celebrant they’ve ever seen, and we agree! Thank you Sarah for making our wedding truly memorable.

    Sarah’s ability to capture our love story and infuse it into the ceremony made the entire experience truly magical.
    Throughout the planning process Sarah’s open and responsive communication style put us at ease, and we always felt confident that we were in capable hands.

    Sarah’s professionalism and warm demeanor created a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, which resonated with both us and our guests.

    On our wedding day the ceremony was flawless. It was evident that Sarah put her heart into every word, and that authenticity made the ceremony unforgettable for us and our guests.

    We are beyond happy with the service Sarah provided as our wedding celebrant. She turned a moment in time into a memory that will be cherished for a lifetime.

    Thank you Sarah for your exceptional talent, warm spirit, and for being an integral part of our special day.

    Sarah, we are fulfilled with lovely memories of our wedding day. It was a sweet and memorable celebration with our closest friends and family.
    We’d like to thank you one more time for being a part of our wedding day. You made our ceremony very special and we enjoyed “working” with you in developing all small well-thought details that made the ceremony truly emotional and touching. Many of our guests provided very positive feedback about the ceremony that made us even happier! (And the tied knot found a very special place at our home)

    I recently had the pleasure of having Sarah as our wedding ceremony celebrant in Rhodes, Greece, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the heartfelt ceremony, every detail was handled with care and professionalism.

    The celebrant’s expertise was evident as they seamlessly guided us through the process, ensuring that our ceremony reflected our unique love story. Their warm and calming presence added a special touch to the ceremony, creating an intimate and meaningful atmosphere.

    If you’re looking for a celebrant who goes above and beyond to make your wedding day truly unforgettable, I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah from Grecian Ceremonies. Their dedication, attention to detail, and genuine passion for creating beautiful moments made our wedding day an absolute dream.

    What can we say about Sarah? As soon as we met her we knew she was the right person to conduct our intimate vow renewal. Sarah’s warm and creativeness shone through from the get go. She helped us plan an intimate ceremony that both involved the children and focused on us as a couple. She gave us plenty of suggestions for music, photography and florists so we could go find the right fit for us which gave us a great starting point. She even stayed for a mythos with us on the beach. Thank you Sarah for helping us plan a wonderfully romantic vow renewal.

    Had the honor of this lovely lady Sarah (celebrant) perform our wedding ceremony in Rhodes. She was amazing from contact and communication to reassuring us and so accommodating. The wedding day was perfect and wouldn’t have run so smoothly without Sarah’s expertise. The ceremony itself was beautiful and personalised to our liking. Anyone thinking of booking Sarah and her services, don’t think twice she will make your day relaxed and is so professional!

    Richard Flanagan and Jennifer Benton @Old City of Rhodes

    Sarah was our celebrant for a very small wedding blessing in the garden of our villa in Rhodes Old Town. From the initial Zoom call to the actual day, Sarah’s communication was fantastic and we could not have been more pleased with the ceremony that she wrote and how much of a difference she made to our special day, it would not have been anywhere near as special without her.
    I would absolutely recommend her 100% with no hesitations.

    Sarah was fantastic, she performed a ceremony for us in Rhodes this summer and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. She summed us up fabulously as a couple and injected some lightheartedness into the ceremony. I really would recommend her to anyone. We are truly thankful for what she did for us and wouldn’t change a thing.

    We knew from the moment we first spoke with Sarah that she’d do an absolutely marvellous job and we were right! We got married at a villa on Rhodes in September and Sarah made the day. She had a marvellous way of putting the ceremony together and produced a copy beforehand for us to read but we wanted the surprise on the day and couldn’t have been happier. If you want a wonderful celebrant who tailors the ceremony to your needs, you can halt your search. Thank you so much Sarah, you were absolutely incredible and made our day. It was a truly touching ceremony.

    It was an amazing 20 year vow renewal. Sarah was great from the initial WhatsApp video call to meeting in person. Communication was good and everything was handled amazingly.  We are so glad we chose Sarah as our celebrant for our 20 year vow renewal. It was exactly us, it was romantic, in a place we love, with our family. It was an unforgettable day. Sarah went above and beyond to make it special, with extra little touches that were very much appreciated xx

    My wife Dee always fancied the idea of renewing our vows after 20 years and doing so on a beach on Rhodes. It didn’t take long to choose Sarah as celebrant, the warmth that comes across on her web site was enhanced during our early conversations. Sarah crafted a personal and heartfelt ceremony for us incorporating all the elements we desired.  She made a special trip to see us beforehand and made the whole experience perfect.  We had the right balance of informality with personal touches alongside the elements of sincere dedication.  We couldn’t thank her enough for her hard work and personal service. Dee extends her extra heartfelt gratitude for making the occasion so special.

    With love Dee & Simon.

    Sarah was so lovely she contacted us well in advance of the ceremony to run through the procedure. Sent us documents for us to fill in separately and created a ceremony that was so special and personal to us. We loved having her there on our special day and would definitely choose her if we redid the day again! 100% recommend.

    Sarah is one in a million. Getting married abroad can be quite daunting but with Sarah on hand to help me with not only the celebration but with giving me advice with locations, transfers, florists and cake ladies she made the wedding run smoothly and it was perfect.
    Sarah shared our story beautifully and I will be forever grateful for all her help. 💛💍🫧💒

    We just wanted to say thank you again for officiating at our ceremony and helping us make it as special as we could, especially given the covid delays! Thank you as well for the lovely gift – it’s taken its place on the mantle next to a photo from the day we got engaged.
    We’ll be sure to keep you in mind should we decide on any sort of vow renewal or similar down the line and will be happy to recommend you to anyone we know doing similar ceremonies.
    Thank you so much again, Ryan, Alex and baby Ailbhe.

Thank you for capturing what we wanted in our wedding, romantic yet hints of humour as that’s the couple we are! Thank you again

    What can I say? From start to finish Sarah put us at ease. She sent us over some paperwork gave us some hints and tips to fill it out and then worked some fairy godmother magic and turned it into the ceremony of our dreams! She was always contactable to ask any questions (even the stupid ones) and I can’t imagine anyone else having done our wedding. She truly is amazing and anyone who is unsure about who to use as their celebrant, you certainly won’t be disappointed with Sarah! A beautiful soul inside and out and this spreads to your most special day, everybody needs a piece of Sarah in their lives! X

    Sarah was the perfect choice for our ceremony. She helped us create and bring our vision to life. All our interactions with her were clear, straight forward and uncluttered. Having at least this aspect of our wedding easy and stress free went a long way to ensuring we had a happy day. We highly recommend working with Sarah to make your ceremony your own.

    Sarah, thank you so much for all your kind thoughts, reassurances, thoughtfulness and travel efforts that have gone toward being a part of our special day. We truly would have been at a loss without you and are so grateful for your guidance in helping make our dream come true. It means a lot to both of us how special you have made our ceremony. Your personal touches have truly made it romantic, authentic and beautiful. Thank you for joining us on our most memorable adventure yet!

    Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She was our celebrant for our elopement wedding in Santorini on 30 April 2022. We first met virtually and we instantly felt confident in our choice to have her conduct our wedding. She is friendly, warm, and fun. Sarah wrote our ceremony after conversations & a questionnaire then we had the opportunity to review. She accommodated all of our requests. We felt she captured our story, our personalities & our love of each other perfectly. She seems to really enjoy the process with us as well, always being enthusiastic and genuine. We can’t thank Sarah enough for supporting us and creating a ceremony which exceeded our expectations.

    Sarah conducted the most beautiful ceremony for our dream wedding in October.
    From our initial conversation with Sarah we immediately knew without doubt she was the perfect fit for our wedding. Over the course of 2 years and Covid hitting, she was nothing but helpful, reassuring and accommodating and easy to talk to. Sarah even went out of her way to meet with us during our visits to Pefkos leading up to the wedding, I was a nervous bride with constant covid restrictions changing over the months, she reassured us everything would be fine and we would have the day we dreamed of. Luckily with 2 years of planning our day went ahead as planned with no changes. Sarah’s talent is unmatched- our ceremony was so personal, so fitting, so charming, she really took the time to get to know us and our story. Every single one of our guests said it was the most beautiful intimate ceremony they have ever witnessed (and they have been to a lot of weddings)
    We cannot recommend Sarah enough.
    Thank you Sarah you are absolutely amazing and we already can’t wait to renew our vows with you in years to come!!

    Paul and Samantha Smeeth @Grande Blue, Rhodes

    From the moment we spoke to Sarah, we knew we’d made the right choice of Celebrant for our romantic Greek wedding.
    Sarah went above & beyond for us… actually taking on a lot more responsibility than she needed to, to ensure our day was the most perfect day it could be.
    Our original plan, to have the ceremony on the beach of our hotel was not going to work… and with only 2 days to work out a plan B, Sarah took us to the absolute right choice for us and our very intimate beach wedding. The location at Grande Blue in Stegna could not have been more perfect. She recommended the photographer, hair & make up artist & violinist, who were all fantastic.
    But, what was truly amazing was the ceremony itself… The words that Sarah wrote for us! Wow! The emotion was overwhelming & we will never forget our wonderful Greek wedding day & the effort she went to for us.
    We would do it all again tomorrow if we could & we wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone dreaming of their perfect ceremony.

    Sarah took the time to get to know us, and gave our guests both an emotional and humorous account of our journey on our special day. She encapsulated it perfectly. She came up with ideas to make our ceremony unique and personal to us, and we are very grateful that she played a wonderful part in giving us the most perfect day. Would 100% recommend Grecian ceremonies x

    There are no words to quite capture how wonderful Sarah is at writing a ceremony whether it be for a wedding, vow renewal or anything else you may have in mind. I found Sarah via social media having asked a question online and pretty sure it must have been fate that she answered as I don’t think our wedding would have been the same without her. I’m pretty sure I looked around at our guests and there wasn’t a dry eye, the service she had written was so personal that there was lots of laughter and tears involved. Sarah you will forever have a special place in our hearts and our certificate is going to take pride of place in our home. Lots of love from The Blake’s x

    Sarah was just amazing. She saved the wedding!

    Due to Covid the originally planned officiant couldn’t come. This was two days before the wedding.
    Sarah stepped in and made the most beautiful speech.
    We had a mixed Greek-German wedding and she was the perfect fit.
    It was beautiful, funny and very romantic!
    Thank you Sarah for everything!

    My husband and I got married in August 2021 on the island of Skiathos. After a lot of thought and planning with our wedding planner Lila from CL Events and Weddings, we finally got to meet Sarah, our wonderful celebrant via Zoom. From the first moment she introduced herself, I was put at ease. She was so full of positivity and enthusiasm. On our wedding day, Sarah did a great job making sure the ceremony ran smoothly. Putting together our personal stories and memories. We would highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a celebrant for their wedding.
    Thank-you Sarah ❤️

    In July we had our perfect wedding in Santorini, the ceremony was made unforgettable by our celebrant, Sarah. From the moment we reached out to Sarah, she helped us understand the process and really put us as ease. We had a couple of Skype calls where she got to know us, so that she could write a ceremony unique to us. All we can say is wow! When Sarah sent the ‘ceremony’ to us to read prior to the wedding day, we were overwhelmed and couldn’t believe how beautiful and perfect it was. On the wedding day, it was clear the guests felt the same as everybody was emotional, but also laughing at times. Sarah created the perfect balance of humour, love and emotion. We couldn’t not have hoped for anything better! Our guests were full of praise for the ceremony she gave and how special it was. So thank you Sarah, for making the most important moment of our lives unforgettable! Love the Milburn’s x

    This is a well overdue review for Sarah’s services.

    We engaged Sarah in the midst of Covid dramas of 2021 causing several postponed and re-booked wedding dates. Sarah was extremely accommodating in working around our logistical challenges and when the time finally came she didnt hesitate to get flights locked in to our wedding destination of Santorini.

    Sarah worked with us in the lead up to our day to get to know us and help write a bespoke ceremony personal to us. We even included a handfasting. She was extremely warm and personable and made us feel at ease with the whole process.

    When it came to the big day her delivery was faultless. Simultaneously capturing and engaging the guests whilst keeping the attention firmly on us. Seeing her shed a tear afterwards showed how invested she was in the emotions of the couple and the importance of the ceremony.

    Would not hesitate to recommend. Just sorry it has taken so long to get round to this review!

    We’d just like to say a huge thank you for yesterday and for helping us find the perfect setting for our wedding. Every word you said was perfect and it was funny because you did a reading about the tree roots and I’d read out the exact same one to John a day earlier when you had asked us to have a think about it-it’s like you’re telepathic! Everyone had a brilliant day and we truly can’t thank you enough for all of your help especially with such short notice! Thank you for all your help organising the best day of our life!

    John and Maria Lee @Filerimos

    I have been married to my husband seven years this year, our wedding was quite simple and not as personal as we would have liked it. I had been thinking about renewing our vows for a long time with the view of arranging it and keeping it a secret from my husband and then when everything was arranged I would give him an invitation to join me, hoping he would say yes of course which he did. I know most couples arrange something special like this together but knowing my husband like I do, it was something I knew that he would be happy with.
    I met Sarah through her Facebook Grecian Ceremonies page. The first time we met I knew we would get on really well. Sarah is a lovely lady, down to earth and easy going and most of all professional. The nice thing about her that inspired me was that she puts the client and their wishes first, she listens because she wants it to be your very special day and not some promotional thing for her. She lives on the island so knows great places for the ceremonies she conducts and can make suggestions if you are struggling to decide on a location. I told her what I would like to do, say and basic surrounding and we worked well together to sort that part out with a lot of input from Sarah which was much appreciated. She has a great (shall I say) imagination and can make your day fun, quirky, totally romantic, serious whatever you want it to be. Ours was a great mixture of all of those and she makes it work so well, she gives her all and she absolutely enjoys seeing the happiness in her clients faces. She arranged the photographer and videographer for us too. We didn’t know exactly what she had set up for us when it came to the actual vow renewal ceremony itself as I had left her to do her best and she did just that. I would recommend Sarah very highly for any of her ceremonies because she has a great passion for what she does and for making couples happy, it is a special gift she has that you probably would not find elsewhere. She lives and loves what she does, her commitment is outstanding. Finally, after our special day we gained a friend in Sarah and that also is something special.

    We had the most amazing day renewing our vows in Rhodes!! Sarah was absolutely fabulous…. you would think she had known us all our married life. She summed up our married life together perfectly from the information we had supplied and created a wonderful script. It was beautiful and Sarah is so warm and friendly, so the whole ceremony was just lovely, emotional, funny, with lovely passages that Sarah had picked out for us. She created the most wonderful memories on our special day. We couldn’t have asked for anything more beautiful and so spot on for us. I would highly recommend Sarah and she’s now a friend for life!!!

    We can’t thank you enough for your beautiful words. You helped make our day so special! We received nothing but incredibly positive feedback about you and the ceremony. It was such a magical experience, between the set up, the sunset, the breeze flirting with my veil and of course your guidance throughout the ceremony. Our vows and sharing them with our nearest and dearest meant a great deal to us. Thank you for allowing them to be the highlight of the ceremony. We’ve also received your beautiful gift, so thoughtful of you! I had already spotted it holding down our roses during the ceremony! Very clever! Well we love it and we’ll cherish it in our home.  Hope to see you soon! A rendezvous in Rhodes sounds like a fabulous idea indeed!

    We were more than happy to have had you as our celebrant, I truly believe there was not a better fit that you. I am so thankful for what a wonderful job you did. My brother is getting married and was struggling finding a celebrant, I told him about you (of course he’s not able to fly you in to the states) but how passionate you are about what you do. And I advised him to find someone who has the same passion because marriage is a big deal.

    We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony! Sarah is a lovely bubbly lady and made the process of creating our ceremony incredibly easy even when we weren’t sure of what we wanted ourselves, she put together the most beautiful experience for us.
    We had a private exchange of vows, sand ceremony and tied the knot with the stunning turquoise sea as our backdrop.
    Sarah goes above and beyond. She encouraged us to find the perfect words to say, she collected and dyed sand a gorgeous colour for our sand ceremony, she scoured the beach numerous times before our arrival to find the perfect spot, she set up a pretty table for the sand ceremony in a blink of an eye, she plaited a rope in greek colours for our tying the knot, she found a moving reading that almost had us in tears and presented us with a copy of our ceremony to keep, along with other mementos to remember our day by.
    Sarah is super organised, kept in touch with us regularly leading up to the day, she is so patient and put up with our relaxed approach to things, it’s like she read our minds to give us the perfect day.
    We highly recommend Grecian Ceremonies, thank you Sarah!

    My husband & I went on a trip to Athens & he surprised me with a vow renewal with Sarah. It was so sweet, I loved absolutely everything about it. She was so kind & personalized it in the sweetest ways! We have the most perfect memory thanks to her & her offerings. I highly HIGHLY recommend Grecian Ceramonies to anyone looking❤️

    What can i say… would not have been possible without Sarah Hatjipavlis, she involved our parents and friends, helped coordinate everything amidst the chaos and sensitivities around and gave us the most unique ceremony speech, made all our guests cry and truly enchanted them (some even decided they wanted to be Sarah if not to have her marry them when the time comes). It was personal, tailored, witty, funny yet intimate and heartfelt – it is what you would wish your ceremony would be and was so unbelievably loved by our parents who were initially skeptical, sensitive and traditional – we are egyptian and went for a non-religious ceremony. Instead it was a celebration of love, truly. I highly highly recommend you follow our path

    Garret & Becky Smith @Atrium Prestige Thalasso Resort

    Becky and I live with our daughter, Olivia, in a small rural village in Gloucestershire, UK.
    In May 2019, we decided to elope with our daughter and get married abroad, just the three of us.
    We had visions of travelling to Greece for a small & intimate ceremony with a backdrop of Greek white washed buildings and blue sunny skies.
    When planning our wedding, the location & venue was important, and we knew the people who we involved was equally, if not more important.
    As we were completely open minded to the location and venue of our special ceremony, we looked to the internet for trusted reviews on wedding planners/wedding officiants to help guide us.
    Through hours of online research, and lots of discussions with many wedding planners/wedding officiants, we came across Sarah (Grecian Ceremonies) on Wedding Wire, who lives on the beautiful Greek island of Rhodes. Right from the start we made a connection with Sarah. During our initial face-2-face Skype call, she showed sincere ambition and promise of making our wedding day special to us, and she did not fail to deliver.
    To build our very special and personalised ceremony, we regularly communicated via WhatsApp and e-mail in the weeks/days leading up to our wedding. The complete approach was effortless and Sarah drafted the perfect ceremony that Becky and I loved instantly.
    Due to the wedding being a small ceremony (just 3 people), we felt we didn’t need an official wedding planner. We very much wanted to plan the day ourselves, however with Sarah’s fount of local knowledge and advice this was invaluable to us in making key decisions. Whilst planning our wedding day from the UK, is was great having Sarah on the island and her abilities to speak the local language to confirm our Photography (Savvas Photography) and Venue (Atrium Prestige) to ensure the day would run smoothly.
    We arrived in Rhodes several days before our big day. Sarah wanted to meet us prior to the wedding day to get to know us further. We met in a beach cafe, in Charaki. Sarah even brought a colouring set for Olivia to enjoy whilst we talked.
    The wedding day was more than we could ever imagine, Sarah delivered a faultless ceremony and it will truly be remembered. The keepsakes and printed vows Sarah gave us are treasured in our home.
    Even after the wedding day and with a further 10 days still on the island, we kept in contact with Sarah who was very willing to advise us of great locations to explore around the island.
    Working with Sarah was completely effortless. She was the key in ensuring our wedding day and honeymoon was a complete success. We can’t wait to go back to Rhodes and we will certainly be meeting up with her again when we next visit the island.
