The best wedding venues in Athens for 2024

Your dream wedding in Athens

Greece is best known for its dreamy islands, their beaches and the sun that shines more than 300 days per year, facts that make our little country perfect for destination weddings. What you may not know is that Athens, the capital, has an 18km riviera that combines all the above, so many more venues for any event or taste near an abundance of hotels & AirBnBs, AND it's easily accessible by an international airport!

Being wedding photographers based in Athens, we have shot at most of Athens' beautiful venues which we'll be more than happy to share with you: versatile spaces by the sea, hidden vineyard-like estates, rural gardens with castles, even rooftops overlooking the Acropolis. Find your unique wedding venue in Athens for 2024 in our top choices presented below.

Composed of 6 different event spaces overlooking the Aegean blue, Island Art & Taste is what its name suggests: a fascinating combination of island views, an artistic approach to all types of events and the best culinary experience. This private estate by the sea can be transformed in nearly anything you can imagine and host from a traditional to the most luxurious event. It's the ideal place to plan the perfect summer wedding without the logistics of taking an extra route to a greek island. Tip: book your wedding on a weekday, it comes with perks!

Nestled in a green peninsula at the Athens Riviera, Ble Azure offers the ideal combination of the sea breeze and the green surroundings. It's the ultra-versatile space which can host your big celebration of high aesthetics under the moonlight. Right next to it, the smaller Ble Pavillon is a functional space with wooden decoration, a lush garden, running water and stunning sea views, ready to host your event during summer or winter. Whether intimate or large-scale event, Ble's dreamy natural landscape can be the background of an unforgettable wedding.

If you've dreamt of a beach wedding, sand in your toes, your carefree guests sipping their cocktails while watching the sunset, then Reef Athens Riviera is your venue. We shot some amazing photos during Melanie & Danny's wedding in 2023 and it was surely one of our favorites. The ceromony on the beach under a wooden gazebo with stunning views to the sea and the sunset was followed by a rich dinner on the lawn under the romantic bulb lights - the food was beyond tasteful! The party was a highlight on its own and lasted till early morning. Definitely a choice for the boho souls and more intimate weddings.

Your Tuscany-inspired wedding can take place in the beautiful Pyrgos Petreza estate among vineyards and stone-built premises, only a few minutes drive from the airport. Elegant and contemporary, this unique venue can host up to 500 guests. Celebrate Italian-style enjoying some prosecco outdoors in the courtyard or indoors in the tower itself. If you prefer the countryside to the sea and want enchanting backgrounds for your wedding photos, this venue is definitely for you.

Live your own fairytale at the charming tower of Pyrgos Melissourgou. Inspired from Venician castles, the historical premises with over 350 years of history lie between all kinds of trees and lush gardens, and can hold unique contemporary events, even orthodox weddings in the family-owned chapel of St. George. The owner is beyond kind and helpful, and services are unmatched. Your wedding here will surely be one for the books!

Strolling around the city centre you can't help but notice the crowded rooftop bars that offer a glimpse to the lit Parthenon by night. What if we told you there is a private rooftop offering views to the Acropolis in all its glory just for you and your guests? Muse Urban Venue is a brand new venue, first of its kind, that can host from private and pre-wedding cocktail parties to big scale wedding dinner parties. Decorate the space and enjoy Athens by night your style - don't forget to invite us and capture all about it!

Destination wedding in Athens or on a greek island?

We hope that the above proposals prove that Athens can cover even the most demanding couples' tastes and even outweigh the infamous greek islands like Mykonos and Paros. Logistically speaking, it's definitely easier for your guests to attend your wedding, as they will probably join you from the four corners of the Earth; it's luckily to be more cost effective as well, as most vendors are based in Athens and won't charge you any extra transportation & accommodation fees. And to answer a very popular questions among couples: local vendors on islands usually don't exist and even if they do, there is a chance their services are not as high-end as of those in Athens. Moreover, Athens, because of its size, has such a variety of venues which means many more available dates for your events than the limited islands' venues where several restrictions (in time, space, guest number etc.) may also apply.

Feel free to contact us and ask us the best venues to take stunning photos at! We'll be more than happy to consult you and share all our experience to have the wedding of your dreams in our little piece of heaven. See you in Greece!
