What Is a Civil Wedding?
Legal Marriage, Magical Setting
A civil wedding (πολιτικός γάμος) in Greece is a legally binding ceremony conducted before a Mayor or authorized official. It is fully recognized in the UK, USA, Australia, and most countries worldwide.
On Skopelos, the civil ceremony is conducted by an official sent by the Municipality of Skopelos, and it can take place wherever you ask: at Vrachos or The Castello, at the Agios Ioannis (Mamma Mia) chapel, or another place of your choice. Your reception then follows at our venues, The Castello or Vrachos.
