Hi pebblesflowerfairy!

which tour operator did you book with? how long did it take for you to get the date of wedding confirmed?

hi honey, iv not gone with a tour operator. karen at lindos weddings recommended that i speak to the hotel direct and got flights seperately to see if it was cheaper and it was. lindos weddings are organising the ceremony etc, i chose my own date 15th may at 5.15.and i booked with the hotel direct and got flight for only 70 pound each, just need to sort transfer to hotel now.
i didnt purposefully decided not to go with tour operator, it just happened that way. who are u with? xxxxxxxxx

Hi,

We just got married at St Pauls on 21st September and it was the best day we could have dreamed of. We booked everything through First Choice who I found less than a quater of the price and they were excellent, booked the dates and times no problems. We had drinks for people arriving at the church then I came in by boat. We all travelled back to Nefeli Resturant which was right on the beach so it was perfect for the boat. They had the place done up beauitful and a drinks reception waiting on us the place was ours alone for the night they don't ask you to move or allow others in as alot of the places do in the centre which I thought was great. They organised Greek dancers and an English DJ it was a great night everyone was up dancing and enjoying themselves. The owner Nikos did everything, we made up the menus and even had his mobile number the whole holiday incase we changed something, he was there the whole night and I would highly recommend this place. I got my photos back the next to pick and the day after got them all in a beauitful album with my DVD - no problems just a perfect day!

hi lisbob, your wedding sounds fantastic!!! we have also booked our wedding with the same tour operator for august o8. we have just had our date confirmed for 12TH august at 5.45pm....so excited now. i found first choice to be very reasonable cost wise..the legal stuff took a bit of time to work out but getting there!!!!!if there are any helpful tips and advise you can pass on i would be very greatful. we have just had an email from our wedding co-ordinator with lists of restaurants etc...cannot decide where to eat for reception afterwards..want to eat in pefkos (going to book glass bottom boat when we get there..cheaper!!!) thanks miss p. :lol:

Hi

My favorite resturant in Pefkos is Philosophia the setting and the food is fantastic.

To be honest the resturants in lindos are of a better quality than pefkos in my opinion except that one.

i wish tomas cook were more helpfull with the organisation seems every other tour operator seems to know what there doing everytime we go in and ask we have to wait a few days for a reply, im still confussed about the legal stuff, i emailed the hotel we are going to for more advice as tomas cook have 'nt got a clue but its all booked now and i dont want the hassel of changing
Reply
dont worry the legal stuff is easier than it seems

i had to get my paper work legalised then Lindos weddings hsd it translated for me i know sometimes you have to get it done here.
Reply
tomas cook have an agent that does it for you all you have to do is get it certified by a solicitor and then send all the documents to this agent and they do the rest for you. it does cost more but saves alot of time and effort in the long run

hi again, about the "legal stuff"....as i said it took some time to figure it out but...here goes...£168.00 for documents to be translated into greek..paid upfront, photocopies of birth certificates, passports, and we have also got a change of names deeds too....(different for everyone)to be each signed by a solicitor at £ 5.00 per signature...plus the cost of certificate of no impediment..dont know cost of this yet but cnnot apply for this untill 12weeks before date we fly back...am i making sense???..there is probably more that i dont yet know about..as you pay for one..something else pops up to say...pay me..pay me!!!worth it though. as for the tour operator, i am finding that it is best to speak to them if it is about money...but anything else i go direct to the weddings team attatched to them! :?
