Eva Sent on 12/07/2021Weddings & Whimsy is AMAZING!!!!
I cannot express how Kristy and Daryl are! We had originally planned for a local wedding but due to COVID and having to reschedule our wedding multiple times, we decided to elope in Greece! I found Kristy through Instagram and reached out to her directly. I opted to not hire a wedding planner since I was a pretty organized myself. Kristy and I talked via email for a couple of months and we even video chatted closer to our elopement date because I felt like that was the easiest to way to convey my ideas and what I wanted for our big day. Planning an event in a different country can seem daunting but Kristy made everything super easy! I picked a simple triangle arch and Kristy was honest in letting me know that if our venue didn't have enough rocks, it would be dangerous to set it up but they will try their best. On the day of our elopement I was busy with getting ready so wasn't able to interact with Kristy and Daryl that much but they were great! They arrived on time and set up our beautiful wedding arch and I am so in love with how our wedding photos turned out with their decorations. Kristy and Daryl are great and my husband are so happy that we chose them for our big day!Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
Dearest Eva & Matt,
Thank you so much for your amazingly kind words! It was an absolute joy and pleasure to be part of your elopement and we absolutely admire your patience and perseverance in making it happen despite the various obstacles! The day itself was extremely beautiful and how lucky were we with the lack of wind?!
We are so super happy to have been part of your day and once again thank you for your trust.
We wish you the absolute best for your future together as husband and wife.
Fondest regards, Kirsty & Daryl xxx -

Exceeded all of our expectations!
I first came across Wedding & Whimsy on social media when we were in the early days of planning our wedding in Santorini. I knew from the moment I saw it that I had to have the long wooden table with the overhead edison lighting and it wasn’t something I was willing to compromise on. We actually then planned the rest of the wedding around this!
I contacted Kirsty initially for some costs around the table and chair hire. She was always quick to respond to me, and even once the wedding season picked back up in summer 2021 and she was busy, she always replied to let me know she had received my email and that she would get back to me with a detailed email as soon as she could. And wow, did she!! Kirsty’s attention to detail is exceptional, she basically helped plan all everything, from table measurements, space between chairs to exactly how many candles we would require to get our desired finish. I knew I could trust her to handle everything which really took the pressure off me, especially with the pressures of covid and travel restrictions going on at the same time!
We had a number of changes along the way and I was constantly adding and reducing what we needed - nothing was too much trouble!
We met with Kirsty in person a few days before our wedding in Santorini just to go over the detail, to be honest I was so chilled out and just basically left Kirsty to it as I 100% knew she would meet all our expectations. She actually went above all of our expectations, every single item was truly stunning. Our table blew me away, even our family and friends who didn’t make the wedding couldn’t believe it from the photographs!
We also met Kirsty’s lovely husband and their team on the evening of the wedding, what a great bunch of people!
I cannot recommend wedding & whimsy enough if you are getting married in Santorini. There is nobody like them! And if like me there is something you want that they don’t have, they’ll do their best to source it for you. Literally nothing was too much trouble!
All of their pieces are stunning and unique. They have items to suit any wedding!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Wedding & Whimsy for truly making our visions come to life.

We’re from the states and decided to elope in Santorini (with no planner). I’ll start with the fact that they let us push our date back with absolutely no problem (Due to covid travel restrictions). On to the meat...
From the moment I reached out to Kirsty I knew it was not only going to be a blast working with them, but also that we would had very little to worry about! We picked a color scheme that was dreamy, but not quite right for a summer wedding in Santorini. Kirsty came back to us with an even better version of what we had pictured! For months we emailed back and forth and it was the highlight of my mornings to receive a message from her! I was always so excited to hear what ideas she’d come up with or what fabric she’d found. Another awesome part of working with them... their catalog is jam packed with goodies for any style of wedding, but when our color choice for a table runner wasn’t there, they made it happen. (Sorry for the long read, but we just loved these guys.) Fast forward to our elopement day! July 28th, 2021. The most important day of our lives. And my god, are we thankful now that we hired Weddings & Whimsy!!! Everything was beyond perfect. The day before, Kirsty popped in to go over everything with us which was really nice (except that she just HAD to show us her husband’s beautiful new half-daisy creation which we wanted so badly to include in our setup somehow! ☺️) Day of... I almost cried when I saw our dinner set up (and I don’t cry easily). It was beautiful, beyond what my husband and I could have ever expected, but in that moment it also hit me how many emails we had sent back and forth, how much time Kirsty had spent ordering and planning what we needed and how much I enjoyed working with her in the months prior to our elopement. These are people that we’ll drop a quick line to for years to come, just downright awesome people. To cut it short, because I could ramble all day about their awesomeness, you absolutely cannot go wrong booking with Weddings & Whimsy. If you’re not sure, just reach out to them, you’ll see. ❤️ Endless thanks Kirsty and Daryl!
Congratulations on your engagement to whoever is reading! My husband and I wish you the happiest of lives together!Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
Dearest Matt & Codi. We have re-read this review several times and each time have become extremely emotional in a positive way. We are beyond touched by your words and heartfelt sentiment.
The bond that we created throughout the email planning process was amazing... We looked forward to receiving each and every email and just knew that your day was going to be absolutely amazing. You guys are just the coolest, sweetest duo and the energy, good vibes and overall joy that you put into everything in your life really shines through.
Meeting you here on the island was a blast and seeing your vision of the day and decor come to life was a joy to behold.
Every detail so well thought out and we are super pleased how happy you were when you saw it for the first time; your dreams became a reality!!!
We too know that from time to time we will check in on each other and forever you will have a place in our hearts for so, so many reasons.
We truly wish you the best; but somehow believe you've got that completely covered already.
Sending love, Kirsty & Daryl xxx -

We had a perfect experience with Kirsty from weddingsandwhimsy. We met her a few weeks before our wedding in Santorini (19th September 20) and she immediatly understood what we wanted. The flower arch I ordered was perfectly in line with my desire, and the LOVE letters, really fantastic. Thanks to her we had the perfect decoration at the perfect place. Kirsty indeed advised us very well on the location where to put eveyrthing. She is a smiling, punctual, and empathetic woman. Don't hesitate if you need your help. She can realise ALL your dreams ! Thanks again to Kirsty and her husband.Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
Dearest Isabelle & Eric. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a beautiful review. We were so, so super happy that despite all of the potential issues you and those closest to you made it to Santorini and were able to have the wedding of your dreams. Who could of imagined the weather that day!!! You were so positive throughout and smiling, smiling. This is something we will never forget. The sun came out right on time and it was so wonderful that you got to enjoy the celebration as it should've been. Thank you for your trust, positivity, grace and kindness. We wish you the very, very best! With warmest regards, Kirsty & Daryl xxx

The most wonderful experience! Hire them!
Weddings & Whimsy helped bring all of our pandemic wedding dreams to life. We organized our destination wedding in Santorini with a relatively short timeline, after our bigger wedding had to be cancelled, and all of our planning was done through email/video calls. Kirsty was unbelievable to work with! She was so communicative, responsive, and a genuine joy. She made me feel so confident that everything would be handled perfectly — and it was. Kirsty was amazing to work with from start to finish. I cannot recommend Weddings & whimsy enough. Hire them!Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
Oh Danielle & Lars! Thank you so, so much for your kind words. It was our absolute pleasure to be part of your destination event and we thank you for trusting us! We wish you the absolute best throughout your married life together and love so much that you had the best time here on the island. Take care and sending warmest regards from Santorini; Kirsty & Daryl xx -

Vivian M. Sent on 06/28/2021Beautiful Portfolio & Wonderful Team!
I knew that I wanted to work with Weddings & Whimsy as soon as I started planning my wedding in Santorini. They have a HUGE portfolio of unique, creative and beautiful pieces - I found exactly what I wanted from their website. Kirsty and Daryl were wonderful - such warm, friendly and flexible people. The arch that we rented was in EXCELLENT condition and it was delivered and installed for us at our venue so the entire experience was stress-free. Our wedding day was absolutely PERFECT and I'm so happy that everything worked out so smoothly! Thank you to Kirsty and Daryl for helping us make our dream day come true!Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:

Kayla S. Sent on 11/04/2019Magical Experience with Wedding & Whimsy
Choosing Weddings & Whimsy as our vendors for our wedding was magical. We are from the US and Kirsty helped me plan and choose what I wanted just through email. I was super nervous about making huge decisions for our wedding just by viewing photos and speaking only through email but our experience was wonderful. Once our special day came I had an idea of what I had chosen but I put all faith in our vendors that everything would be perfect and it absolutely was. It was exactly what I had dreamed our elopement wedding would be like. The delivery team was exactly on time (this was huge for me as I am very punctual) and very friendly. Kirsty was always very responsive through email every time I asked a question. She gave me wonderful recommendations and suggestions. Because of her I had the most beautiful flower arrangements made by Betty Flowers. Everything about our day was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend using Wedding & Whimsy. They went above and beyond to make our day special. We cannot wait to visit Greece again. The views, people, culture, and food is pure magic.
Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:

Nick K. Sent on 09/26/2019Outstanding Professionalism
Kirsty and Daryl from 'Weddings & Whimsy, were an absolute pleasure to work with! Trying to organise all our wedding logistics from our home country, where our wedding was held abroad, was no tall task for Kirsty and Daryl! They were exceptional and responsive, and were so professional with all the logistics pertaining to our special day. So much so that even when conducting a site recce, they were adamant that the choice we had made with some of our décor, would not do the day justice, and literally arranged to have everything redone and delivered and set up the day before our wedding! Pleasure to work with and highly recommendable.Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
You guys!!! Thank you so, so much for such a heartfelt review! It was simply wonderful working with you and hey.... when we saw how you guys looked in front of our picture frame arch... well, we knew that collectively we had all made the right decision! We thank you so much for your trust and just know that on that day, the party place to be was definitely with you! We wish you all the best and an amazing life together. Kirsty & Daryl xx -

Tiffany Sent on 09/25/2019Amazing Last Minute Experience!
We contacted Kirsty a few weeks before we were to arrive in Santorini and asked if she would be available for a last minute elopement. She was more than willing to work with us. She scheduled a meeting the day before, gave us options (even though she was super booked for the busy season), and worked out details with us so efficiently. Thank you for helping us make this day so special and offering affordable suggestions. We appreciate all you did!Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
Tiffany & Lester.... We cannot express enough how much we enjoyed styling your ceremony setting! You absolutely rocked with your energy, love and enthusiasm to create something beautiful. The early morning start was well worth it for the results achieved! Wish we could do it all over again. You guys are simply awesome and we wish you all the best! -

Weddings & Whimys provided this beautiful double arch that was a statement piece for our small wedding. It was so unique, different, and perfect to say the least. We used their bar cart as our cake table and let me tell you... it was magical against the Santorini view! Thank you so much Kristy & Daryl for always keeping me posted and for a worry-free wedding day!Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
Hi Laura & James :) When we set up the arch at your villa terrace we were blown away by the Fira view in the background. The arch framed it beautifully and you guys looked absolutely amazing! To see it crowned so well with the sumptuous flowers.. WOW! You styled our bar cart so perfectly too! Thank you so much for all your trust and it was so, so wonderful for us to meet you and your guests. A lovely, intimate destination event. Take care, Kirsty & Daryl xx

Amrisa B. Sent on 10/09/2019An Absolute GEM
My wife and I got married in Santorini on July 8th, 2019. We really wanted to decorate our wedding at Le Ciel with a few standout pieces of decor. I found Weddings & Whimsy on Instagram (they're pretty popular) and Kirsty was immediately super responsive and helpful. She quoted me right away for giant light-up marquees and a painted welcome sign (everything was also affordable in my eyes). Last minute, I ended up needing a card holder and Kirsty knew exactly what to choose. I have to say, if you peruse their website, you'll find tons of really inspiring ideas and decor you never even thought of incorporating in your big day.
I met with Kirsty two days before the wedding at the venue and she was so wonderful! She really got us excited about the details and walked me through where things would be set up. We definitely knew we were in good hands. It's easy to stress about planning a destination event but our vendors took a lot of the worry away.
Come the day of our wedding, the team was punctual and did a stunning job! I can't thank everyone enough for making it easy to put my trust in them. Kirsty & Daryl are true professionals and just lovely to work with. They played a large part in bringing our vision to fruition. If it isn't clear enough already, I highly recommend working with Weddings & Whimsy. My wife and I appreciate how responsive and easy-going Kirsty was when it came to our many emails and questions. This wonderful team will always be part of our happiest memories!Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
Wow, wow, wow!!! Thank you so much dear Amrisa and Briana! It was absolutely our pleasure to be trusted with such impact pieces for your Santorini event. Seeing the day come together with not only our props, but all the other decoration we absolutely appreciated how much you had invested into the creativity of the day. The venue looked amazing! As for the energy of the two of you combined with your guests... well... it would've made for a spectacular, unforgettable event anywhere. We absolutely wish you the very best in your future life together and thank you once again for trusting us with your vision. Take care and sending kisses from Santorini, Kirsty & Daryl xxx

We are SO glad that we hired Kirsty to work her magic on our elopement in Santorini! Not only is she an incredible stylist with a beautiful suite of items at her disposal, but her attention to detail and flexibility in adapting to the wild Greek weather meant that we ended up with a day that honestly couldn't have looked or felt better. It truly was our dream wedding. She even added special touches like flowers that made us feel so loved. AND it was all so very affordable! Thank you, Kirsty, and I can't wait to work with you again for a future event.Weddings & Whimsy - Santorini, Greece's reply:
Dearest Cass & Brian! Thank you so, so much for your extremely kind words!! Goodness, what a day that was! It was so important for me to create the best possible environment for your destination elopement and you are so right, the weather was not on our side. I am so pleased that you were happy with the end result. For me you guys showed such enthusiasm, trust and flexibility. Such a positive, sunny and bright attitude that shone through from the beginning, be it the written word of our emails or when we were able to meet face to face on the day itself. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing us to be part of such an intimate, personal elopement here in beautiful Santorini. Wishing you all the best and I really do hope that we get to work together again one day. -
