Set the tone immediately. Scorpios for the legendary Sunset Ritual — bohemian energy, organic plates, live music as the sun drops into the Aegean. Welcome drinks flow into a casual taverna dinner in Chora.
Ceremony in the on-site chapel. Cocktails on the terrace as the sun sets over Paraga Beach. Reception in the main restaurant — Michelin-listed Mediterranean cuisine, your whole crew under one roof. Dancing barefoot until midnight. Scorpios is next door if the night keeps going.
Late morning beachside brunch — Bloody Marys, reliving last night. Unstructured afternoon: Agios Stefanos beach, pool, massage, ATV exploring. Nikolas Taverna for the real Greek dinner.
Morning ferry to Delos — UNESCO World Heritage, birthplace of Apollo. A sacred way to close the trip. Last swim, last gelato. Farewell sunset drinks at Little Venice as the windmills glow.
"By the time everyone's standing at that clifftop ceremony, they're not strangers at a wedding — they're the crew who spent yesterday in the Aegean together."The whole point of Day 1
Why SoHo Roc House over Cavo Tagoo: Cavo Tagoo is iconic — and it's a great place for guests to stay. But for the wedding itself, it's a shared 87-room hotel with no exclusivity, bus traffic under the pool, and zero beach access. SoHo Roc House gives you the whole property (44 rooms, full buyout), an on-site chapel, Paraga Beach at your feet, Scorpios literally next door, and barefoot bohemian energy that feels like your celebration — not a hotel event room.
Budget: Full buyout $25-60K + F&B + vendors = ~$70-120K all-in. Fits perfectly.
