Rhodes offers a rare blend of natural beauty, authentic charm, and a relaxed atmosphere that turns a wedding into a true celebration, not just an event.
After planning and photographing weddings and proposals across the island, we’re sharing the insights that will make your day as seamless and unforgettable as possible.
If you want your wedding to feel real, effortless, and personal, here’s the Rhodes wedding guide you need.
Why Rhodes Works — When It’s Done Right
Yes, the beaches are breathtaking.
Yes, the Old Town looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale.
But Rhodes offers something most destinations don’t: freedom.
Freedom to create a day (or a week) that’s tailored to your story — not just a photo opportunity.
When we plan weddings and proposals here, we’re not just booking venues and snapping pictures.
We’re helping couples live their moment fully — without feeling like they’re stuck in someone else’s idea of a Greek wedding.
What makes Rhodes special for weddings?
- Diversity of scenery: medieval, seaside, rustic — all within 30-40 minutes.
- Authenticity: fewer crowds, more intimacy.
- Infrastructure: easy guest travel, local vendors, a hospitality culture that loves celebrations.
- Flexibility: From luxury elegance to barefoot boho, Rhodes gives you space to create whatever feels right for you.
Where to Say “I Do” in Rhodes
Choosing the right setting is everything.
And we’ve spent enough days (and sunsets) scouting to know: not all spots are created equal.
- Lindos: Imagine a tiny whitewashed village, a dramatic bay, and a tiny chapel perched on a cliff. Perfect for dreamy beach weddings and stunning sunset shoots.
- Rhodes Old Town: For couples who want history and charm. The cobblestone streets, fortress walls, and secret courtyards make every moment cinematic.
- Kallithea Springs: Ideal for couples seeking elegance and wow-factor — a beautiful seaside setting with art deco architecture and tropical gardens.
Pro tip: Many of our couples love to split locations .
The result? A wedding album that feels like a whole story, not just an event.
When to Plan Your Wedding in Rhodes
(And What Most Guides Won’t Tell You)
Let’s be honest: you don’t want to melt in your wedding dress.
Here’s the real breakdown:
- Best months: Late May, early June, September. Perfect temperatures, beautiful sunsets, fewer tourists.
- High summer (July–August): Possible, but plan for sunset ceremonies.
- Hidden advantage: Some beaches are practically empty by sunset even in high season — if you know where to look.
And we know.
That’s why we time things carefully — not just to avoid crowds, but to catch that soft light that makes your photos and memories even better.
What You Need to Know About Legal Requirements
Whether you dream of a civil or symbolic ceremony, Rhodes offers a beautiful setting for both.
Civil weddings here involve some formalities — including official documents, translations, and local registrations — while symbolic ceremonies give more flexibility for couples who want to focus purely on the experience.
Both options can be equally meaningful when planned with care.
At The Dreammakers, we help couples navigate these steps with confidence.
From coordinating the necessary paperwork to working closely with local officials, we make sure everything behind the scenes is handled properly — so you don’t have to spend your engagement worrying about deadlines, approvals, or logistics.
Because planning a wedding from afar isn’t just about knowing what to do.
It’s about having a team that treats your celebration with attention, commitment, and heart.
How We Make the Experience Seamless
A real destination wedding isn’t just about the ceremony.
It’s about the experience around it.
That’s why when we plan weddings and proposals in Rhodes, we go far beyond logistics:
✅ Venue and timing curation (best light, best flow, best access)
✅ Vendor sourcing (only trusted locals who actually care)
✅ Timeline design (no rushed weddings, no stressed-out couples)
✅ Story-driven photography that captures the raw, real moments you’ll treasure.
Because when you work with someone who’s been in the streets, on the beaches, in the old churches, you don’t just have a wedding.
You have a wedding that feels alive.
