Crete Testimonials

Tanya & Lawrence

When people say your wedding day is the best day of your life, ours really was! It was more perfect than we could have ever imagined.

Rue made it seamless. She made everyone so relaxed and everyone of our guests have said it was like something out of a movie.

As the bride, I had no stress and my day was what every bride dreams of.

Words cannot express how happy we are.

The thought of being married abroad would worry some people, but hand on both mine and my husband’s heart, we wouldn’t have done it any other way.

Rue, you made our wedding day the most fantastic day, for that we will always be grateful.

Thank you so much xx

Dear Rue,

Wow, what can I say?!

Our wedding was a dream come true for us and none of it would’ve been possible without you! Every request, question or task was never too big and you were always there whenever we needed advice, a second opinion or help with ANYTHING!

Our day was special, gorgeous, and absolutely perfect. You made us feel like the only people in the world, it really was truly magical.

You’re the sweetest, kindest, loveliest person we could ever wish to meet. And we’ve definitely gained a friend in you❤️

We wish we could go back and do it all again. And we’d still choose you a million times over to plan our day!

Thank you isn’t big enough for all you did for us. But we will forever be truly grateful and honoured that you were part of our special day.

Thanks for being you Rue.
Love Megs & Chris x x x

Where to begin... We had our hearts set on a Greek wedding and after looking we fell in love with the island of Crete!

After lots of research Rue at Sun and Snow weddings kept being mentioned as a recommendation on lots of forums/ web pages so I messaged Rue...

From the very beginning Rue was very professional and responsive to all my queries and questions. After giving Rue an idea of what our vision for our wedding day was Rue was brilliant and gave us recommendations to look at for our ceremony. Rue is very knowledgable with the island of Crete and gave us some great ideas and recommendations.

We decided on our Venue for our ceremony and booked it all through Rue. From this moment Rue was absolutely brilliant she is very organised and sends everything clearly and simply and if you have any questions Rue would always respond so quickly. I sent Rue pictures of what we wanted and Rue organised our whole day so perfectly!

Throughout the whole planning stage nothing was ever any trouble for Rue and she made our day just as we always visioned it and more!

All the legal side of the wedding Rue explained what needed to be done and when we needed to do it and always ensured that everything was getting completed on our side when it needed to be I really can’t recommend her enough!

Once we arrived in Crete for our wedding Rue met with us personally and showed us where the ceremony would be and then we went onto our reception where we discussed the whole wedding day. Rue shared a very clear plan of the day and what we should expect. After this meeting we felt so much more relaxed about the whole day and knew for sure we were in good hands.

Our big day arrived and everything went perfectly from start to finish… Everything went to plan and Rue was there the whole day ensuring everything ran smoothly. We had the most perfect day!! It was everything we imagined and much more!

I really can’t recommend Rue at sun and snow weddings enough she is so friendly and lovely and really understands the importance of your special day as a bride. Nothing is ever too much trouble and Rue will go above and beyond to ensure you get the day your dreaming of!

All our family and guests spoke about how lovely, good and professional Rue was on the day and the brilliant job she had done. All the other companies that Rue organised including hairdresser, make up artist, photographer, saxophonist and DJ were all so lovely and extremely professional!

The taverner where we had our reception was so welcoming to us all and very hospitable making sure we all had a good time celebrating!

Thank you to Rue and everyone else that was a part of our special day it really was everything we had dreamed of and more!!

Dear Rue

Thank you so much for organising our special wedding day in Plaka.

You did everything we asked - and more - even retrieving our documents from the post office one day before they were to be returned to the UK due to an error on our part.

We wanted a simple wedding with only three members of our family and as we wished to get married around the Plaka area you recommended a Chapel overlooking the bay. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location, it was so peaceful and provided stunning scenery for our photos. The flowers, table decorations and cake were exactly what was requested.

You answered every query in a concise, professional manner and your organisational skills shone through. Everything was arranged to take the pressure of us - we just turned up!!

Thank you Rue, Debbie and your hair and make-up artists for all your help and we will always remember our special day thanks to you!

Hi Rue

I'm so sorry its taken so long to write to thank you properly for organising our fantastic wedding. Life is only starting to settle down for us after over a month of celebrations haha!!

We genuinely only have great things to say about you and your team at Sun and Snow Weddings. From the very first WhatsApp message last year enquiring about getting married in Crete you were super friendly, efficient, responding very quickly with lots of info on options and before we knew it our date was booked and venue chosen.

After 28 years together we decided to get married and there was no other place to do it for us but our happy place Crete.

You were fantastic at every stage of the process answering the mass of questions we had and keeping me calm through the legal paperwork process which was so much easier than I thought!

From the moment we arrived for our big day you kept us calm as we experienced a roller coaster of emotions and reassured us that everything was in hand and would go smoothly on the day which it did (despite a late guest bus and a wee bit of rain 🤣). The Chapel at Ag. Giorgos was decorated beautifully and the flowers were just stunning. To have you as our celebrant on the day meant a lot to us and felt very personal and we would like to particularly thank you for the lovely words you said in memory of our family who couldn't be with us.

Thank you also to Debbie and the rest of your team you are all so lovely. We have amazing memories which will last forever and we are so grateful to you for helping make it happen. Hope to catch up for a cocktail when we're back for our anniversary 🍹

With lots of love from
Debbie and Martin
The new Mr & Mrs Campbell

Dear Rue,

27th July 2023 was supposed to be the day me and Louise Ann had spoken about for many years.

After a year or so of planning with Rue Niemi at Sun & Snow Weddings the time had finally come to head to Greece. We had such an amazing first week off our holiday getting ready for the big day.

Unfortunately that day come and my dad Stan Niland suffered a major heart attack and sadly passed away on 27/07/23 at 4pm. As you can imagine we couldn't go ahead with the wedding.

We took a couple of days to process everything that had happened and with the help and support of Debra Niland, Katie Lefkocheir and Rue we decided to replan the wedding for later in the holiday.

This was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make but it's one I hope my dad is proud of.

It was an extremely emotional day for many reasons but it's definitely a day that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the amazing people at Sun & Snow weddings and Katie!

They went above and beyond to support us in a difficult time.

Words cannot explain just how thankful we are to these guys and I really hope when we come back to Crete to remember my dad we can meet up so we can buy you guys a drink.

Once again thank you to everyone who helped us. We love you all

Hi Rue,

Now that we are home and reflecting on our big day I just want to say a massive thank to you for all of your guidance and great advice over the last year of planning our big day!

Our wedding was better than we could have imagined a magical day due to your co-ordination and also a special mention to Debbie for keeping us right on the day (that would not have been easy ha ha) as we were getting ready and she was being very calming!!

You kept us right through the whole process and we honestly just cannot thank you enough!

You’re so friendly and warming. Even in the most stressful of times throughout the process you managed to keep me sane!!

Thank you so much for everything a day we will never forget and couldn’t have done without you.
