What Mykonos wedding packages cost, and what they include.

A Mykonos wedding package covers the ceremony and a set list of extras; the whole wedding, from venue hire and catering to music and transfers, is estimated at about €121,000 for 70 guests over three days, line by line, including 24% Greek VAT. This guide compares three published packages and covers eloping and the legal steps.

At a glance

A Mykonos wedding package covers the ceremony and a fixed list of extras; for a full wedding, this guide's line-by-line estimate is about €121,000 for 70 guests over three days, including 24% Greek VAT (€75,000 with every line at its cheapest, €193,000 at its most expensive). Of the three published packages compared below, none lists guest rooms and one includes a meal for guests. Legal civil ceremonies are held at the town hall on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 1pm and 3pm, so a beach ceremony is symbolic. Checked October 2026.

What Mykonos wedding packages include

A Mykonos wedding package bundles the ceremony with a fixed list of extras: the setting, flowers for the couple, a cake, some photography.

Kivotos, a beachfront hotel in Ornos with its own chapel, publishes three packages without prices; two are in the table. The Wedding Travel Company, a UK-based planner of weddings abroad, publishes a priced one at Grecotel Mykonos Blu on Psarou beach.

At Kivotos a civil ceremony, full photography, video, canapés, a DJ and a beach dinner cost extra. No package in the table lists guest rooms, flights or guest transfers.

All-inclusive Mykonos wedding packages, and hire by venue type

The nearest thing to an all-inclusive Mykonos wedding package is a full hotel buyout, which puts rooms, ceremony and reception on one site and is estimated at €60,000–€180,000 for the weekend, before catering.

These are planning estimates for hire alone, not quotes. Ask whether a quote includes 24% VAT.

Venue typeWhat is on siteEstimated hire
Hotel buyout: Bill & Coo, Cavo Tagoo, Kenshō, Belvedere, Santa MarinaRooms, ceremony and reception for 40–100 guests€60,000–€180,000 for the weekend, before catering
Beach-club takeover: Nammos, Scorpios, Alemagou, Principote, Ftelia Beach ClubReception only, for 80–200 guests; guests sleep elsewhere€18,000–€60,000
Private villaBeds for 14–24 and reception capacity for 80€20,000–€70,000 for the weekend

The 70-guest budget below allows an estimated €22,000–€65,000 for the venue. For one-price resort packages elsewhere, read about all-inclusive destination wedding packages. To see what is bookable, browse wedding venues in Greece.

The cost to get married in Mykonos for 70 guests

The cost to get married in Mykonos is estimated at about €121,000 for 70 guests over three days, line by line, including 24% Greek VAT: the typical total, about €1,730 a guest. Every line at its cheapest totals €75,000; every line at its most expensive, €193,000.

It is the sum of the eight lines in the table below, modelled in spring 2026 for a June weekend at a south-coast property: venue hire, three catered events with a premium open bar, a planner, photography and video, florals, music, guest transfers, and paperwork with a contingency line. It is a planning figure, not a quote, and guests' flights are not in it.

Three things move it:

  • Date. Peak July and August dates are estimated at 30–50% above the table.
  • Venue. Venue hire or buyout is the biggest line: an estimated €38,000 at typical figures (€22,000–€65,000). A beach-club takeover is a fee you pay in full; a hotel buyout, estimated at €60,000–€180,000 before catering for a full one, includes the rooms, so ask whether guests' room payments come off it.
  • Guest list. Catering and bar follows the headcount: about €460 a guest at the typical figure, across the three events.

To work out your own figure, use the wedding budget calculator, whose starting budget leaves out flights, accommodation, rings and the honeymoon.

Modelled planning figures in euros for 70 guests over a three-day June weekend at a south-coast property, including 24% Greek VAT. They are estimates, not quotes. The typical total, about €121,000, is this page's cost answer; the low and high totals take every line at its cheapest and at its most expensive.

Greek VAT (24%) is included. Peak July and August dates are estimated at 30–50% above these figures. The venue line covers a beach-club takeover or a partial buyout and only the low end of a full hotel buyout, which is estimated at €60,000–€180,000 for the weekend. Exclusive use of Bill & Coo or Cavo Tagoo is estimated at €200,000 and up. Both buyout estimates are before catering. The paperwork and contingency line comes to about 5% of the other seven lines, not the 10% its label gives, so add your own buffer.

A 50-person wedding at a Mykonos villa: the estimated cost

A 50-person wedding at a Mykonos villa is estimated at roughly €94,000 to €144,000 for a three-day weekend. This guide has no separate model for 50 guests: the figure is the 70-guest table above at its typical figures, with villa hire as the venue line and catering cut in proportion to the guest list.

LineEstimate for 50 guests
Villa for the weekend€20,000–€70,000
Catering and bar, scaled from the table's €32,000 for 70 guestsAbout €22,900
Planner, photo and video, florals, music (unchanged)€42,000
Transfers, paperwork and contingency (unchanged)€9,000
TotalAbout €94,000–€144,000

The 70-guest lines include 24% VAT; ask whether a villa quote does. Cutting catering in proportion assumes the caterer charges by the head, so treat the estimated €9,100 as the most twenty fewer guests saves. A villa that sleeps 14 to 24 leaves at least 26 of your 50 guests in hotels, so keep the transfer line. Before paying a deposit, ask the owner in writing whether events are allowed, what the event fee is and when music must stop.

Mykonos elopement packages and the cost to elope

The cost to elope in Mykonos starts at €920 for a symbolic ceremony alone and reaches €5,970 with five hours of photo and video, on the 2026 price list of Love Gracefully, a celebrant company. It is one seller's list, checked October 2026. No tier has legal effect, and the price covers a public spot and up to 15 guests. A private venue, dinner, flights and your room are extra.

TierListed 2026 priceWhat it adds
Basic€920Ceremony design, an English-speaking officiant, a symbolic certificate
Silver€1,420A bouquet and one hour of photography
Gold€2,370Three hours of photography, a car with a chauffeur, champagne
Diamond€3,960Three hours of video
Infinity€5,970Five hours of photo and video, hair and make-up, a donkey ride

A legal ceremony adds an apostille and a certified Greek translation for each document. Americans whose town hall asks for an Affidavit of Marriage also pay US$50 each at the embassy in Athens and a €30 authentication fee. This guide has no modelled total for an elopement, so collect written prices before you set one.

A Mykonos beach wedding: beach clubs, hotel beaches and the wind

A Mykonos beach wedding is a symbolic ceremony on the sand with a reception at a beach club or a beachfront hotel; the legal part, if you want one, happens at the town hall.

  • A beach-club takeover. Nammos, Scorpios, Alemagou, Principote and Ftelia Beach Club take full or partial takeovers for 80–200 guests, at an estimated €18,000–€60,000 for venue hire alone. They have no rooms, so guests transfer.
  • A hotel on the beach. Santa Marina in Ornos lists three ceremony settings on its events page: its beach, a lawn with a sea view and a stone chapel.

The south coast (Ornos, Psarou, Platys Gialos) keeps you close to town. Elia and Kalo Livadi suit larger takeovers. The north coast (Panormos, Agios Sostis) is quieter and windier.

Plan for the meltemi, a north wind that peaks in July and August and can blow for ten days at a stretch. Ask each venue to show you its indoor back-up room, and ask for the music curfew in writing.

The best months for a wedding in Mykonos

The best months for a wedding in Mykonos are late May, June and early September, when temperatures sit at 19–23°C, rain is low and the wind is lighter than in high summer.

The season runs from late May to late September. Outside it, most suppliers, beach clubs and premium hotels close. July and August bring peak prices, crowds and the strongest meltemi. Book 14 to 20 months ahead: the best-known hotels and beach clubs fill two calendar years out for peak July and September Saturdays.

Planning a Mykonos destination wedding: flights, transfers and the weekend

A Mykonos destination wedding runs three or four nights, and guests fly into Mykonos airport (JMK), 10–25 minutes by van from most south-coast venues.

In peak summer the airport has direct flights from roughly 25 European cities, and its airline list includes British Airways, easyJet, Jet2.com, Lufthansa and Ryanair. From the US, routes connect through Athens, London or Rome. As planning estimates, a June return fare per person is £200–£360 from London and $1,100–$1,700 from New York via Athens.

Private transfers are estimated at €50–€90 a vehicle, and the budget table allows €1,500–€6,000 for 70 guests. For the country as a whole, see destination weddings in Greece.

How much a wedding in Greece costs: Mykonos, Santorini and Paros

A wedding in Greece for 70 guests over three days is estimated at about €121,000 on Mykonos, line by line with 24% VAT, the costliest of the Greek destinations compared here.

Santorini, the other island with a line-by-line table, is estimated at about €82,000 on the same basis. Paros (€35,000–€70,000) and mainland Greece (€30,000–€60,000) have summary estimates only. For the neighbouring island, see Santorini wedding packages.

Mykonos against the alternatives.

Three destinations to shortlist alongside it. The cost row holds the typical total of each guide's cost table for 70 guests (Mykonos, Santorini); Paros and Ibiza have no cost table, so their cells are summary estimates on a different basis (Ibiza's for other guest counts) and no cost cell is lit. All are planning estimates, not quotes.

Is Mykonos right for your wedding?

Mykonos suits a wedding of 40 to 100 guests that is a party before it is anything else, on a budget that starts at an estimated €75,000 for 70 guests. For fewer than 30 guests, Paros or Naxos is the better fit. Above 120, hotel buyouts run out of room. If the ceremony view matters most, Santorini has the stronger backdrop.

Who Mykonos suits, and who it does not.

The €70,000 in the list is lower than the line-by-line budget above, which starts at an estimated €75,000 for 70 guests. Plan from the table.

This guide fits

if any three apply
  • ✓Your wedding is a party above all else
  • ✓Your guest count is between 40 and 100
  • ✓You want the Cycladic aesthetic (white architecture, pine, sea)
  • ✓You have budget for €70,000 or more on three days
  • ✓You can book 14 to 20 months ahead
  • ✓Your guests are drinkers and late-night dancers

Look elsewhere

any of these will trip you up
  • –You want a quiet, restrained ceremony; Mykonos is not that
  • –Under 30 guests; you can do better in Paros or Naxos
  • –Over 120 guests; hotel buyouts cap out
  • –July or August; meltemi and crowds will dominate
  • –You are cost-sensitive; Paros or mainland Greece delivers for less
  • –You want ceremony-first photography; the view is not Santorini's

Common questions

How much does it cost to get married in Mykonos?+

A Mykonos wedding for 70 guests over three days is estimated at about €121,000, line by line, including 24% Greek VAT (€75,000 with every line at its cheapest, €193,000 at its most expensive). That is this guide's typical total for venue hire, three catered events with a premium open bar, a planner, photography and video, florals, music, transfers and paperwork. Peak July and August dates are estimated at 30–50% higher. These are modelled planning figures, not venue quotes.

What do Mykonos wedding packages include, and what do they cost?+

A package bundles the ceremony with a fixed list of extras such as the setting, a bouquet, a cake and some photography. Kivotos, a hotel in Ornos, publishes three without prices and charges separately for canapés, dinner and a DJ. One priced example, from The Wedding Travel Company at Grecotel Mykonos Blu, starts from £14,409 for 20 people and includes a family-style menu and a two-hour open bar. None of these lists guest rooms or flights.

How much does it cost to elope in Mykonos?+

One celebrant's published 2026 list, from Love Gracefully, runs from €920 for a symbolic ceremony with an English-speaking officiant to €5,970 with five hours of photo and video, a car and hair and make-up. A private venue, dinner, flights and your room are extra. This guide has no modelled total for an elopement.

How do you elope in Mykonos?+

Decide first whether the ceremony will be legal or symbolic. A legal civil ceremony is held at the town hall on a Tuesday or Thursday between 1pm and 3pm, with two adult witnesses and your documents emailed a month ahead. A symbolic ceremony can be anywhere on any day: book a spot, a celebrant and a photographer, or a package that bundles them, and marry legally at home.

How do you get married in Mykonos legally as a foreigner?+

Bring a marriage licence from your home country: the Mykonos municipality does not issue one to visitors. Every foreign document needs an apostille and an official Greek translation. Email the documents a month ahead, apply together in person at least two working days before, and marry at the town hall on a Tuesday or Thursday between 1pm and 3pm with two adult witnesses. Register the marriage at the registry office within 40 days, or it is not legal in Greece. Allow eight to ten weeks.

Can you have a beach wedding in Mykonos, and what does a beach club charge?+

Yes, as a symbolic ceremony: the municipality holds legal civil weddings in its own building. Beach clubs such as Nammos, Scorpios, Alemagou, Principote and Ftelia Beach Club take full or partial takeovers for 80–200 guests, with venue hire alone estimated at €18,000 to €60,000.

Is Mykonos more expensive than Santorini for a wedding?+

Yes, on the two guides' line-by-line estimates: about €121,000 for Mykonos against about €82,000 for Santorini, each at typical figures for 70 guests over three days in June, with 24% Greek VAT included. Compare like with like: a caldera-view venue and a beach-club reception have different costs.
