Questions about the venue
Can we marry on the beach itself?+
Yes. Valena Mare offers both sandy beach ceremonies at water's edge and alternative terraced areas with sea backdrops. Seasonal winds and tide schedules should be confirmed 6 months in advance.
How many guests can we accommodate on-site?+
24 suites and apartments sleep approximately 60-80 people. Additional guests book nearby Plaka hotels within 5-10 minutes' walk. Reception capacity reaches 150 with tented extension.
What's included in the venue fee?+
Confirm with management directly at http://www.valenamare.gr/, typically includes ceremony space, tables/chairs, basic catering kitchen access, and 4-hour reception window. Bar, catering, and décor often quoted separately.
What's the best season for a wedding here?+
June and September are ideal, warm but less intense than July-August. October remains viable but transitions to cooler, occasional rainy days.
Do we need a Greek wedding planner?+
Highly recommended for legal requirements (Greek marriage license, officiant arrangements). Valena Mare staff can suggest vetted local coordinators familiar with the venue.
