The Best Wedding Venues in Santorini

Being an undeniable showstopper, Santorini is the queen of all Greek island wedding destinations. Santorini's allure comes from its volcanic history and the ancient eruption that formed its current crescent shape. The spectacular cliffs that soar above the sea offer stunning vistas over the Aegean Sea and some of the most mesmerizing sunsets. Santorini is the epitome of romance, so it is no wonder that it has emerged as one of the most prominent spots for a destination wedding. Boutique hotels, villas, and wineries are some of the options when searching for Santorini wedding venues, and the selection of the ideal location can quickly become overwhelming. Having extensive knowledge of the island as a Santorini wedding photographer and having shot weddings in the vast majority of the venues, you can find a list of my absolute favorite Santorini wedding venues below.

AENAON VILLAS

Aenaon Villas is a brilliant example of Santorini's architecture blending whitewashed surfaces with volcanic stones and evoking a sense of minimalism and luxury at the same time. A place where modernity co-exists with tradition creating a delicate balance of harmony. Consisting of six amazing villas, which offer stunning vistas, this villa complex is certainly one of the most elegant locations to host a wedding in Santorini. To be able to host a private event, all six villas need to be booked for a minimum of three nights, while there is also a location fee, the cost of which depends on the number of people that will be attending the wedding.
