Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

Mediterranean Luxury

What is a unique tip you tell your couples that is specific to your vendor category?

Always look for the company that will personalize their services for you, as well as answer all of your questions! You want a company that will help tailor the wedding of your dreams, not conform your vision to their ideas.

What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?

Use us! But even if you don’t, look for a venue that will give you the closest experience to your dream wedding without breaking the bank. What we love about destination weddings is that couples can have a magical and memorable wedding day without the drama, hassle, and normal costs of a traditional wedding. Instead, you can focus on your love, and sharing the day (and subsequent honeymoon) with each other and closest friends and family. You can still have the big reception with everyone when you’re back, but when you choose a destination wedding, you’re saving costs and peace of mind.

A Little About Us

What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?

Wine Dark Sea Villas is a family business, started because of our own frustration that came from traveling as a large group of five adults. We were tired of overpaying for multiple hotel rooms and impersonal treatment, as well as the lack of freedom that came from being restricted by tour groups. Our villas are meant to be whatever you want them to be: the scenic backdrop for your dream destination wedding, the honeymoon vacation you’ll never forget, and all of life’s adventures. We are as involved or hands-off as you desire, because we want you to have the experience of your dreams, not dictated by an outside agency. From our complimentary turn-down service performed every three days, to helping you find a private chef for that special evening (or your whole stay!), we at Wine Dark Sea Villas want your stay with us to be as unique as you are.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

Our name, Wine Dark Sea Villas, sometimes confuses our guests. We’re often asked if wine-tasting is a major part of staying with us. But our name actually comes from Homer’s description of the Aegean Sea! We wanted to pay homage to Greece’s artistic heritage in everything we do. We also gift all our guests a gift basket that contains a complimentary bottle of our very own olive oil, Song of Odysseus! We oversea the entire process, from the tree to the packaging, to present our highest quality, award-winning olive oil.

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

We first ventured into the world of weddings as we were building Villa Santorini. During construction of this beautiful villa, we realized it could be so much more than a vacation destination. As the owner of the company supervised instruction, he requested specific additions to the grounds, such as a carefully crafted garden and an arch that has since been dubbed ‘The Wedding Arch.’ This popular spot is now where most of our couples exchange vows, with the Aegean Sea as the backdrop. Since then, we’ve hosted several weddings at almost all of our villas, and hosted honeymooning couples at all of them.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

Fireworks! It’s traditional on the island of Crete to conclude the evening with fireworks at night! It’s a wonderful way to conclude the celebration in our Cretan weddings, (though sadly it is not offered for our villa in Rhodes).
