What wedding options are available at the hotel?

A couple can have a symbolic wedding ceremony to express their personality and style. Also, our hotel is a lovely location for vow renewals and romantic elopements ( like this utterly romantic one!). After all, eloping is a wonderful way to skip the stressful planning of an event wedding. Moreover, we can totally discuss the possibility of a civil wedding if the couple wants something like that. In general, our venues very flexible and can accommodate almost every wish.

How do you ensure couples are delivered with the wedding of their dreams?  

The sky is the limit when it comes to the extras you can opt to make your special event fits your style and needs. Think floral arches, wedding cake, rose petals and welcome gifts for guests; Greek traditional dancers, classical harpists or Djs, Polaroid corners; videographers and photographers to capture it all. In the run-up to the ceremony, experienced professionals are there for you should you need to makeup or hair-do, while the Canaves Oia Spa can offer you relaxing massage therapies or rejuvenating facials. The chefs of our Restaurants are on hand to prepare mouthwatering dishes (from traditional Greek to kosher) for any type of reception. What’s more, the fun doesn’t have to end where your reception does. Family meals, sailing cruises, wine tasting, scuba diving, and helicopter tours are just some of the additional activities you can add to your joyous Canaves Oia event so as to provide family and guests yet more special memories from this most magical of islands.
