Q. We have always wanted to get married abroad but we are unsure how to ask guest’s to attend.
A.You should always make sure your wedding day is exactly what you want and remember you are
the most important people on the day. You could theme your wedding invite based on the
destination you choose or even add in some photos of the hotel. Your guest’s can treat it as their
holiday, they don’t have to spend the whole time with you. Go ahead and invite who you want to be
there and then the decision is theirs.
Q. What if some of my A list guest’s are unable to travel?
A. Of course the ideal scenario would be that all of your A list guests would be there on your
wedding day, however it is not always possible. You can capture your special day with a
photographer or videographer and share this when you return home.
Q. There is just me and my partner on the wedding day. Is this ok?
A. We have many private weddings with only the bride & groom, the only point to consider is you will
need two witnesses on the day. Don’t worry, we can help out and witness your marriage on the day
for you.
Q. I am attending my friend’s wedding and I would like to buy them a gift.
A. What about a Spa voucher, an A la carte meal or a bottle of champagne & strawberries in their
room. All you need to do is contact us at grandmed@atlanticahotels.com and we will make all the
arrangements.
Q. When do I need to send out my wedding invitations?
A. You need to work this a little different than the usual tradition since you are marrying abroad. We
would suggest that as soon as you have booked your wedding to send your invites out to those you
would like to attend. Even if you believe the person would not attend, still send them an invite so
they feel part of your special day. It is not necessary for us to know any final numbers until you
arrive so don’t worry if some of your guests make any last minute changes.
Q. Will my marriage be legal?
A. All of our weddings are carried out by officials and your marriage will be recognised as a legal
marriage. You will be issued with your marriage certificate to confirm you both tied the knot!
Q. How do I get my dress to my destination?
A. You will need to check this with your airline, however most companies will allow you to carry this
as hand luggage and we recommend you do this. Any good bridal store will pack your dress ready to
travel.
Q. What locations are available to get married?
A. Overlooking a serene bay of western Corfu (Ermones Beach), the legendary resort and spa
spreads along 110 acres of cypress trees, eucalyptus trees and pine woods and cascades along
breath taking cliffs.
Vertigo - If privacy is your thing then our secret garden is the host to your special wedding day. With
luscious landscaping this is the more intimate location for small wedding parties
Culinarium - With views over the beach and sea, this is every reason to marry abroad. Offering
elegant décor and an atmosphere perfect for any romantic couple.
Secret Garden - Theres a hidden spot for you and your wedding party with views that cannot
be replicated. This sea, mountain and pure luxury
Q. Can we start our honeymoon as soon as the reception ends?
A. You have the sand and sea on your doorstep so it would be wrong not to kick back and start your
honeymoon straight away. If some of your guest’s are leaving at the same time as you, you may
want to have a final get together to show your appreciation of their attendance. Still there is plenty
of space around the hotel to get lost in your own way.
Q. Where can I hold my wedding reception?
A. If you’re looking to impress then we sure have something to please. The Vertigo restaurant &
Thalatta beach restaurant have unique points to remember or you can opt for the “Secret Garden”
where everything is in the name.
*minimum and maximum numbers apply to some venues and menus
