Your wedding, your story, your kind of ceremony.You've chosen Greece for your wedding. Whether you’ve already found your venue or are just starting to imagine your day, the ceremony deserves as much thought as everything else. It is the moment that brings everyone together and gives meaning to the celebration. It should feel personal, reflect who you are and give you the freedom to celebrate your commitment in a way that feels right for you.
That's where I come in.
I'm Michaella, founder of
Celebrant Greece. I write and officiate personalised symbolic wedding ceremonies in English and Greek
for couples from all over the world, bringing their stories, personalities and ideas together in a ceremony that feels genuinely theirs.
I believe your ceremony shouldn't sound like every other wedding you've attended. It can be romantic, relaxed, funny, intimate or a little bit of everything. What matters is that you recognise yourselves in it.
A little about meThe idea behind
Celebrant Greece came from my own experience. When I decided to spend my life with my partner, I realised that the ceremony options available in Greece didn't really reflect what we wanted. We were looking for something personal, centred on our relationship rather than religion.
At the time,
non-religious ceremonies were still relatively unfamiliar in Greece. I started exploring the possibilities and eventually decided to create something that I wished had been available to us.
And that's how
Celebrant Greece began.
My background is in theatre and writing. I studied Theatre Practice at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London and Cultural Studies at the Hellenic Open University. I've worked as a performer and stage manager, and I'm also a published author.
I've always been drawn to storytelling, language and the way people connect through stories. Today, these interests come together in my work.
What I love about what I doI love meeting couples from different parts of the world and discovering how different every love story can be. I enjoy the conversations, the little details, the unexpected moments and the things that make each relationship unique.
Over the years, I've had the pleasure of working with couples from different countries and cultural backgrounds. It's one of the things I particularly enjoy about my work.
I personally write every ceremony. I don't use ready-made scripts or follow a set formula. I want to get to know you, understand what matters to you and find the right words to tell your story.
Whether you're planning an intimate elopement on a Greek island, a big celebration with family and friends, or a wedding that brings together different cultures and traditions, I'd love to help you create a ceremony that feels right for you.
And although the writing is a big part of my work, so is the moment itself. I want you to feel comfortable, enjoy every minute and, above all, be present with each other.
Shall we get to know each other?If you're planning your wedding in Greece, I'd love to hear what you have in mind. You don't need to have everything figured out yet. We can start with a conversation, share some ideas and see where they take us.
After all, every good ceremony starts with getting to know the people it's about.
I look forward to hearing your story.
