    really good experience and a great wedding party!

    We have done our wedding in Thessaloniki on 27 May 2023. Marina supported us with the wedding planning for over a year and the end result was simply amazing. Specifically on the wedding day she was everywhere! She supervised the decoration, the church set up, guided the guests and coordinated the different suppliers. She even went to the extend of packing up everything after the wedding so that nothing gets missed. Overall a really good experience and a great wedding party!

    Having Marina as your wedding planner is a MUST

    Everyone asked us how we organized a no-stress wedding in a different country. The answer is that we found Marina. She was a complete match in personality to us. She is super driven, very efficient and no-nonsense. When she gets a task, she delivers according to the schedule you agreed on, accurately and completely. She knows when to offer advice and when to step back.

    Her list of vendors and collaborators is topnotch, we were head over heels with the photographer, videographer, venue, hair and make-up artists, dj etc etc. All our friends and family said they had the best time ever, and they all mentioned the invaluable contribution she has had on their day as well. She checked in with them during the day, resolved minor inconveniences, and overall kept all the organization stuff at hand, allowing us to dance and not have a care in the world the whole night.

    If I could organize one party a year, I would always organize it with Marina by my side.

    The best wedding planner in GR. Highly recommended for couples living abroad!!!

    Concept event planning are absolutely the best! Marina and her team helped my husband and I plan our dream wedding, and they made sure that the planning process was as low stress as possible, and that on the day of the wedding things ran smoothly so that we could relax and enjoy ourselves.

    We interviewed multiple planners, and we easily decided that concept event planning was the best choice. Marina is enthusiastic, professional, and clearly loves what she does - we were certain from the start that with her help, we could enjoy the planning process and have a stunning end result. We were not disappointed!

    After talking to her for a few minutes she understood instantly what preferences we had. For each vendor, she did a great job of understanding what we wanted - even when we weren't exactly sure - and identifying a few appropriate options for us to choose from. She was great about scheduling calls and meetings around our schedules, and keeping calls that needed to happen during our work days as short as possible since we live abroad.

    On the day of wedding, the concept event planning team kept everything running perfectly. And everything about the venue (lighting, flowers, table settings, etc.) ended up looking even more beautiful than we had ever hoped for.

    Thank you for being so open to our vision. Thank you for answering all the late night emails and keeping us from freaking out. Thank you for getting us!
    Last but not least thank you for being the most awesome wedding planner we could have ever wished for!

    Love,
    M+B

    Best decision we made for our wedding

    Choosing Marina for your wedding planner is the best decision you'll make when planning your event. During the planning stages, she patiently assisted us every step of the way; she took calls at odd times due to a vast time difference. She accepted the challenge of organising a wedding in an area where is it notoriously hard to get good venues and cooperative vendors. She provided a variety of vendors with varying budgets for us to choose and ultimately worked seamlessly with those we selected. The insight and experience she brought to the table are invaluable! She even went the extra mile and helped us without hesitation to organise a pre-wedding party which technically wasn't part of her duties. Everyone loved working with her, including us.
    On the day of the wedding, we were stunned - but not surprised - by the stellar job she had done with the flowers and decorations. She transformed the venue in a way that exceeded our expectations! She was also a step ahead at all times. We wanted for nothing as she fulfilled every need before we realised we had it. She was the first to arrive and the last to leave. Our guests were equally impressed with her and have complimented us for our choice plenty of times. Marina made us feel so comfortable that we considered her a guest rather than a vendor. We are so glad we met her and got the chance to work with her!
    Marina and her team provide the most professional wedding planning you'll find in Thessaloniki; I am sure of that as I had previously interviewed and hired many others who did not rise to the occasion. We can not recommend her services enough!

    Not only did Marina meet our expectations, she continually exceeded them!

    Where do we even start! My husband and I met in Thessaloniki while I was studying abroad in 2015. He is from Greece and I am from California. We knew that when we got married we would go back to where it all started. When we first started planning we thought we would be able to do it ourselves, however, planning a wedding in Greece while in California was extremely difficult. We came across Concept Events Planning on Wedding Wire and sent an email. The owner, Marina responded immediately and from that moment knew she would be our saving grace. Marina made the planning process so easy and fun! She took our ideas and exceeded our expectations! We like to say that we had an America cocktail hour, a Greek Orthodox ceremony and an Albanian reception. She was so well versed with different cultural traditions it blew our minds! Marina made sure that all guests - whether out of the country or local, knew what was happening at all times. She took time out of the hectic wedding and stopped by the Air BB I was getting ready at to check in and see how I was doing as well as hand deliver flowers. She went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we could have dreamt of! Ευχαριστούμε, faleminderit, thank you Marina for making our dreams a reality and giving us a Pinterest worthy wedding! We can’t wait to have you help us plan another event!

    Shortly before I left for the States, I contacted Marina about Koufeta, because I'd heard she could provide wonderful ones. She was terrific.

    Marina is totally professional. She delivers what she promises on time. I also found her to be very relaxing and a delight to talk with.

    We would like to thank Marina for making this day amazing. Marina made our wedding to look outstanding and her professional expertise was second to none. Personally, I had absolutely nothing to worry about the decoration at the church. We highly recommend Marina to anyone who is looking to make a dream wedding to come true!!!

    We are a Greek-Australian couple from Melbourne, Australia and we were married in Thessaloniki, Greece in August 2016. Concept Events Planning was the perfect company to organise every detail for us, with Marina's professionalism and expertise making a huge difference. She made everything very easy for us from afar, and of course once we arrived in Greece, she was very friendly and lovely to deal with. Our sincerest thanks and Penelope and I wholeheartedly recommend Concept Events Planning.

    We couldn't have been happier with the service we received from Concept Events Planning for our wedding! Marina went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. Every email sent to her was replied within a few hours. We hired Marina to do our flowers and decorations and it was better than I could have ever imagined. I wanted something simple and rustic and she achieved exactly that! She was there on the day to intervene when the Wedding Coordinator that was included in our venue was useless. It was a good job Marina was there as she took charge and told all our guests exactly what to do and where to go! I am forever grateful and can not recommend her services enough! Thank you Marina!

    I cannot praise Marina enough for the services she provided for our wedding day. You certainly get what you pay for and she was worth every single penny.
    Marina went above and beyond for us for the entire weekend and ensured that all our guests were well looked after and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She even made getting married outside in the Greek rain seem perfect! Flowers, decor, props, organisation and co-ordination are all deserving of 10stars!
    Thank you so much for all you did Marina.
