Dagmara A. Sent on 10/19/2023Best wedding planner in Crete ❤️
Our journey with Crete for Love was absolutely exceptional and stress-free from start to finish. The ability of Anna and her Team to keep everything under control, even when timelines got tight, was incredibly reassuring for us. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, communication was proactive and clear, making us feel supported and well-informed at every stage. The beauty and attention to detail in the decorations at both our beach wedding ceremony and the reception at Markakis Estate were extraordinary, creating beautiful memories that will last for years. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect realization of our dream day. Thank you ❤️ -

We wanted to say big thank you to our wedding planner - Anna, the photographer - Andreas, and the rest of CreteForLove team, who made our wedding day truly unforgettable!
As our wedding was in Crete and we are located overseas, we decided to opt out for a local planner, and we were lucky to find Anna. She kept us organized, kept notes of all details we requested, provided invaluable advice on key points essential during the process. Even though I always heard people say "nothing goes as planned during wedding", our wedding was extremely smooth and everything happened as planned!
Andreas, the photographer, did excellent job at capturing all the important moments for us to keep forever and we already framed some of the shots!

Definitely 10/10 💕
Crete for Love create a fairytale for us💕! Being on different continents, so far away, we didn’t have not even once a doubt about our wedding planner. I’m working in the same area and know how many details should be taken care of. Working with Anna is a jackpot with 100% win at the end - you’re gonna receive professional approach on each level, advisor, fighter for your interest on one side and limitless support, smooth management, with no pressure or anxiety for you on other side. Best combo ever!
Anna works with best team on all ends. It was a great experience working with her. 10/10 👌🏻
Thank you for your work and unforgettable day 🤍!

Hiring Anna, the owner of Crete For Love, is probably the best decision I made for my wedding (besides the dress!). She made our experience so easy, enjoyable, and absolutely lovely (especially the day of the wedding!).
Her team did a great job addressing some concerns, we had some cultural differences we needed some help with. She was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and supportive. Really felt like my number one go to throughout the entire process. She did a great job meeting us half way in regards to budget, really helping us realize what was practical and unnecessary to achieve our dream wedding. She was also understanding when family members tried to intervene and ask for last minute requests. All in all your wedding planner should be your friend and number one alliance throughout the entire process, and Anna did well above and beyond.
Thank you for the endless memories and for making our dream come true. -

Where do I begin?! Anna, her husband & their entire team were beyond amazing! From the tiniest detail to the very biggest, everything was executed to perfection and was more than we could've hoped for :) Planning a wedding is hard enough, but planning one abroad is doubly as stressful, Anna made everything so easy and calmed our (mainly mine lol) wedding jitters. The location was beautiful and everything came together so amazingly! We fell in love with Greece and are already planning another trip back! -

From first contact, to the big day, we couldn't have asked for more! Anna was responsive & knowledgeable, and talked us through exactly what we needed to do. We chose an elopement which was on a very short timescale, but Anna was calm throughout and got everything arranged - even when we thought we'd left it too late to get the paperwork in time! The day was perfect, from arranging hair and flowers, to travel arrangements and food. Anna is very personable and friendly, and all her team are excellent. Andreas set us at ease straight away and took some amazing photographs which we will treasure forever. All in all, it was better than we expected, highly recommend! -

We found Crete For Love late 2021/ early 2022 when researching the possibility of having our wedding in Crete. We picked Crete For Love for a couple of different reasons, the main one being the excellent reviews and the second being the quality of the photos they displayed on their website.
We made contact with Anna who, right from the start, was friendly and warm. She explained everything well and gave us plenty of notice of the various steps to go through in order to ensure our wedding went smoothly and was registered in Crete.
When we met Anna it just totally confirmed we had made the right choice (and that wasn't just because she was a fellow wild swimmer!!). Anna and Andreas are a fantastic team who were able to bring our dream wedding to life, and I truly couldn't have asked for any more.
Not only did they give us the best day, but they provided useful recommendations of the surrounding areas and delicious places to eat, making our stay in Crete even more perfect.
As a couple in the UK planning a wedding abroad you need to have a lot of trust and faith in the company you choose. Truly, you need look no further.
Thank you Anna, Andreas and your team for the most beautiful day of our lives.

Professional, friendly and trust worthy!
From the first e-mail that I sent to Anna at Crete for Love we knew that we had made the right choice. Straight away Anna was on hand to ensure that the vision we had for our destination wedding with our immediate family in June '22 would become a reality. With professionalism, class and a friendly touch, Anna and her team took control of everything. Anna listened carefully to everything that we wanted and was always only an e-mail away when we had questions to ask (or changes to be made!) Most importantly, when the big day, finally arrived, we knew that we could relax and enjoy every moment as we had built so much trust over the year in Anna and her team. The result...a picture perfect day! -

Review from the UK -
Anna is the best at what she does - so kind and knows how to create one of the most special moments in your life. We did an elopement and even though it was just two of us it was beyond our expectations. We also need the legal work in Crete - the process for the legal paperwork was very easy because Anna helped us all along the way and explained what we required. The vendors which Anna works with are also of the highest standard, and the photography team were so lovely and the pictures were beautiful (very natural). Highly recommend Crete for Love! -

Perfect day Crete...
We are very happy with the work done by Anna and Andreas. They planned our wedding beautifully, which exceeded all our expectations. First of all, I would like to emphasise that communication was very easy, we didn't have to worry about anything, because Anna and Andreas took care of everything for us. All our requests and wishes were fulfilled. Anna and Andreas also have very good taste, and they organised everything not only in a very detailed way, but in a stunning way. It was also a surprise that the locations where the wedding took place were unusually beautiful. We would also like to thank Andreas for the very beautiful photos. We can't hide the fact that we were also very pleasantly surprised that the photos were sent in less than one week. In short, we are really very impressed with the work they have done. Once again, we would like to thank Anna and Andreas very much for their sincere work, their help and for making our dream come true. We highly recommend Anna and Andreas for your dream wedding, truly reliable hands. Sending best wishes from Lithuania. -

I spent a while choosing a wedding planner and found Crete for love on instagram - I loved the style of the weddings showcased. I’d contacted a couple others too it what made me choose CFL\Anna was how responsive and attentive she was right from the start. She made us feel that it was personal and a truly bespoke service (compared to the others I had spoken with). And our experience with CFL only exceeded those initial expectations! I can not recommend Anna enough, she is such a professional at what she does. We had to postpone twice due to Covid and each time she expertly manoeuvred our plans for us. When we finally were able to hold the wedding it was the most wonderful day made to feel effortless and easy due to Anna’s hard work and expertise behind the scenes! I want to find another excuse for a big party now so I have a reason to use CFL and work with Anna again - if you choose CFL you will not regret it!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 -

The perfect day!
My husband and I recently planned an elopement with Andreas and Anna and it was absolute perfection!!! We came from the US and planned an elopement with them as part of our honeymoon. The ease of working with them was amazing - everything was set up with basically no stress on our part even down to arranging the rides we would need to get to our venue choice - which was the ancient monastery in the mountains - just WOW!!! The venue, the setup, the flowers, the snacks, the drinks, they thought of everything! It was the stuff dreams are made of! Andreas even had us change venues and go down to the water to finish out our wedding session with him and those photos are priceless!! Every single photo was incredible and Andreas was a dream to work with as a photographer. He was a friend by the end of our day 💗 We can’t wait to go back to Crete and see Anna and Andreas - and hopefully plan a vow renewal in a few years!!! -

Saskia S. Sent on 04/20/2022Simply the best wedding planner for your dream wedding in Crete
Thank you Crete for Love for planning the wedding of our dreams!
I can't say enough about how professional, kind, knowledgeable, and quick to respond Anna was to us. She was always checking in on us, reassuring us, answering our questions and keeping us informed (and sane) whenever anything was happening!
Anna made planning a wedding, which can be extremely stressful even under non pandemic circumstances, feel easy and we felt totally at ease knowing the wedding was in her hands.
On the actual wedding day the spring weather wasn't on our side but Anna arranged a back-up plan and our day turned out to be even more perfect and beautiful than we could ever have imagined!
We were able to relax and enjoy every minute of our day with no stress whatsoever thanks to Annas organizational skills. Our guests were blown away and stunned by everything from the venue to the food to the entertainment and decorations. -

A Beautiful Greek Elopement
I cannot thank Anna with Crete for Love enough for making our sneak away elopement such a wonderful experience!! We traveled to the island of Crete from the US for a simple beautiful elopement, and Anna guided us every step of the way.
Anna made the planning process so easy. She understood the vibe I wanted to create and completely NAILED IT!
Anna is quick to respond via email and answered any questions I had. She was so easy to work with and kept our budget in mind. Everything was customizable to exactly what we wanted.
She made the day perfectly stunning!
Andreas was such a fun photographer to work with! He made us both feel comfortable and helped us get fantastic photos. He is so professional and creative, but also fun and we had a lot of laughs!
We cannot thank Anna and Andreas enough for making our day even more than we imagined!

Perfect Intimate Greek Wedding
Working with Crete for Love (Anna and Andreas) was fantastic. From the get go Anna was responsive to emails, open to discussing exactly how we wanted our wedding to be and flexible with how much Crete for Love would provide. We were able to pick and choose from a variety of arches, chairs, refreshments, bouquets, decorations, transport and the structure of the service allowing us to get the wedding we wanted while keeping the cost as low as we could.
We were able to meet with Anna and Andreas a year before the wedding and spent a day looking at venues, taking photos and just getting to know each other, making the wedding that bit more personal and making sure that Anna knew exactly what we wanted.
Anna was helpful with specifying what paperwork we needed and flexible with adding in extra paperwork part way through the process as well as adjusting the guest numbers due to the ever-changing travel restrictions at the moment.
We wanted a small, simple ceremony and to do all of the legal side of the wedding in Greece and Anna provided exactly what we wanted: the legal signing of documents at town hall in the morning; getting them Apostilled during the day while we prepared for the ceremony; and a ceremony for 8 guests in the early evening. Everything was thought of, everything looked fantastic and the day ran smoothly. It was perfect in every way!
Andreas was wonderful to work with: he has a very calming disposition while being fun and lively, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. As well as candids before and during the ceremony there were amazing drone shots of the location and stunning portraits of family members both individually and in groups. After the ceremony my bride and I went with Andreas to get some photographs in other locations, this was built into the two hours included in the wedding package and tailored to exactly what we wanted. All of the photo's sent to us (and there were loads!) looked fantastic. They captured all of the emotions that were there on the day.
I would absolutely recommend working with Crete for Love and Andreas to anyone planning a Wedding, Vow Renewal or just an anniversary event on Crete. They were an amazing team and a pleasure to work with. -

Our Vow renewal on the beach of Georgiapolous, Chania was absolutely magical and everything we wanted it to be! Crete for Love totally exceeded our expectations in providing us with the wedding we have always dreamed of. We were married 21 years ago in a very basic civil ceremony and have yearned for an enchanting coming together of family and close friends to recommit ourselves to each other in a fun and relaxed way! The venue and the ceremony were perfect in every way and we would never imagined it to be everything we had dreamed it would be! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the wonderful Anna who made our dreams come true! What a lady! Your exceptional and beautiful touches, simple perfection and your amazing composure will always be treasured!
Thank you to Andreas Markaris for the incredibly beautiful photography! He captured the very essence of our dream wedding in such an effortless manner and provided us with lifelong memories! At long last we have wedding pictures!!!! -

Frank S. Sent on 08/22/2021How a dream comes true!
Anna is Anna - this is how we would describe this amazing person. Planning a wedding is not just a profession, it is her passion. We had a longer planning period because of all these pandemic issues so we got to know each other quite good. All began in 2019 when we had our first meeting for venue scouting after serval mails between Hamburg, Germany and Chania, Crete.
She was what a good advisor is – honest, even when it wasn’t what we wanted to listen to, unless she always wanted that our dream becomes true. So we fall in love with our „private“ villa and could go on with planning all these other aspects you need for an amazing summer wedding - dinner, drinks, decoration, make-up, design, transport, music, photographer…all in all we had more than 20 vendors. And let us tell you – all vendors Anna recommended us, made an amazing job. And we don’t wanna miss her motivation regarding to the pandemic. Eight weeks before the original date of wedding we had to decide to reschedule our event one year later. For us „only“ a decision, for „Anna“ so much work to get in touch with all vendors – big thanks Anna that you supported us like this and made this difficult time a little bit easier for us.
This lovely and professional motivation to create a breathtaking experience was so heart touching that we cannot say enough times – thank you so much. It became a better event for us and our guests than we ever expected. For us you will be always a special person in our life and we look forward to see you again as soon as possible – in Chania or in Hamburg.
Best and thousands of hugs

Anna made sure we had the wedding of our dreams. First, being from the states, I knew we would need a wedding planner since she is located in Crete, Greece. From being a COVID bride, there were many challenges, but Anna helped us through it all. The process of planning a wedding was not stressful at all with her help. On the day of the wedding, it was everything we had dreamed of and more. Anna and her team made sure everything was on time and perfect. I did not have to worry about a thing! :)
