Thinking of going for a wedding package with Manos in Lindos next year, does anyone have any tales to tell, good or bad?
Never been on Rhodes before so not sure what to expect, except what you can read in the brochures or on the web. All contributions welcome
We married in Lindos in 2001 in May - it was a wonderful day and very special, so unlike anybody else's wedding that we had been guest at.
We booked with 'another' tour company (not Manos!) and didn't have a particularly good experience - mainly because the 'Wedding Co-ordinator' was very young and very inexperienced. There seemed to be a catalogue of errors right from when we arrived , and the company relieved us of our money and then were not there to help organise, even up to 2 days before our wedding I didn't think it was going to happen, we had 15 family & friends there too so it affected them as well! luckily the staff in our hotel were extremely helpful and supportive and we also knew people in Lindos and Haraki so we were able to plan our reception and get that organised ourselves.
I would suggest visit the island first as you might not find it's for you & might prefer another island? Weddings seem to happen on many of the islands : Santorini, Kos , Skaithos , Kefalonia etc. ....
You will need to have your documents verified at the British Embassy and have them stamped and translated into Greek - the embassy will provided details of authorised translators (then afterwards you will need the marriage certificate translating into English in order to let your bank know etc)
There's lots to do , PM me if you like .
I can see that greeklass has given you lots of advice on the wedding itself. I hope it all goes according to plan.
Thanks Puddleduck, it certainly seems like the sort of place we would enjoy and so far feedback has been very encouraging
Have a look in the rhodes forum, wedding cruise boat forum some good info on Lindos weddings, I have arranged to meet a lady called Karen on the 22nd sept who is a wedding planner and comes highly recommended through this thread.
Good luck
Paul
Cheers ozpants1, I will keep watching the threads here as theinfo seems very topical and constructive. Good luck on your trip, look forward to hearing how you get on
