Frequently asked questions

What's included in the venue rental fee?

The ceremony fee (typically €3,000–€5,000) covers basic space rental, tables, and chairs. Catering, bar service, and décor are charged separately through the hotel's in-house teams or approved external vendors.

Can we bring our own vendors (photographer, florist, caterer)?

The hotel works primarily with preferred vendor lists but permits external hires with prior approval. A coordination fee (typically €500–€1,000) may apply if you use outside vendors.

What's the best time of year for a wedding here?

May–September offers warm, dry weather ideal for beach and terrace ceremonies. June and September are peak but less crowded than July–August; April and October provide pleasant conditions with fewer guests.

Are guest rooms discounted for wedding parties?

Yes. The hotel negotiates room blocks (typically 10–20% off standard rates) if you commit 30+ room nights. Rates vary seasonally but average €400–€800 per night in high season.

What happens if it rains during the ceremony?

Multiple covered terraces and indoor spaces allow quick relocation. The hotel's coordination team manages transitions; most couples plan contingency setups during the initial walkthrough.
