Planning a wedding is an important milestone in your life! And who doesn’t want their wedding to be the most memorable, stress-free, and budget-friendly event ever? With inflation rising, many couples are looking to save money while still having the wedding of their dreams. If you’re torn between a lacklustre traditional local wedding in Singapore or a dreamy wedding in an exotic destination, maybe saying “I do” on the gorgeous Greek island of Santorini is the way to go.
Affordability Without Compromise
Believe it or not, jetting off to Santorini for your wedding can actually be easier on your wallet than staying in Singapore. Let’s crunch some numbers: In Singapore, the average wedding set you back a whopping S$35,000 to S$50,000. This is probably on the conservative side, from the bridal package, reception, and the wedding banquet, not to mention solemnization, venue rentals, pre-wedding shoots, and decorations, those costs add up quickly. And if you want all the bells and whistles, you’re looking at beyond S$50,000.
And how about the honeymoon part? For a 10-day European trip, the newlywed will have to set aside around S$10000-S$12,000, and this is with a group tour. Free and easy will add up those costs. So your total costs of a simple local wedding plus a honeymoon are likely to go northwards of S$50,000.
Now, picture this: a stunning destination wedding in Santorini and honeymoon travel costing from S$13,000*. How does that sound? Here’s the scoop: First, Say “I do” with the most breathtaking views including venue rental, the ceremony, makeup and hair, photography, and videography. Next, a 10-day honeymoon with accommodation, transfers, ferries, and tours all taken care of, who doesn’t like stress-free travel? With a more intimate guest list, your per-person costs drop, letting you splurge on the finer details without breaking the bank.

Intimate and Meaningful Celebrations
Destination weddings mean a smaller, VIP guest list or simply just the couple themselves. Instead of a huge, formal event, you’ll have your closest friends and family, making your celebration feel extra special and personal. Imagine a cozy, relaxed vibe where everyone’s having a blast – that’s the magic of a destination wedding!
The Santorini Experience
Santorini is like stepping into a postcard. White-washed buildings, crystal-clear waters, and those famous sunsets – it’s the stuff wedding dreams are made of. Picture exchanging vows on a cliffside overlooking the Aegean Sea or dancing under a canopy of stars. It’s pure romance, folks.
A destination wedding in Santorini isn’t just a wedding; it’s an adventure. Enjoy Greek cuisine, dance to local music, and soak up the rich culture. Your guests will love the unique experience, and it adds an unforgettable touch to your celebration.
