Our Proven 10-Step Wedding Planning Process in Mykonos
A seamless, transparent, and enjoyable journey
From “Yes” to “I do.”
At Dream Weddings Mykonos, we’ve developed a strategic and well organised approach to wedding planning.
Our process simplifies your journey by breaking it down into clear, organic phases — ensuring that every detail is handled with precision while you focus on the beautiful parts: tastings, designs, beauty trials, and unforgettable moments.
Whether you dream of an intimate villa ceremony or a glamorous beachfront celebration, our 10-step planning method ensures that everything unfolds smoothly, transparently, and joyfully — from the very first chat until your wedding day.
Here's how our 10 step - wedding planning process unfolds:
Step 1: Discovery – Fill in Our Planning Checklist
Your journey begins with our Plan Your Wedding checklist.
This helps us understand your guest count, style, budget, and priorities — the foundation for creating your personalized wedding journey in Mykonos.
💡 Tip: The more detail you share here, the more precisely we can tailor your proposal and suggestions.
Step 2: Let’s Meet – Introductory Video Call
Once we receive your checklist, we usually schedule a friendly video call to connect face-to-face.
It’s our chance to get to know each other — and see if we “click.”
During this call:
- We introduce our planning style and philosophy.
- You share your vision, needs, and expectations.
- We answer your first questions in detail.
Wedding planning is a journey — and chemistry with your planner matters.
Step 3: Offer & Budget Guide – Your Tailor-Made Proposal
After our call, we send a personalized initial offer that includes:
- Our flat planning fee (no hidden costs).
- A Mykonos Wedding Budget Estimation Guide, outlining realistic price ranges for each service.
This ensures complete transparency and helps you form realistic expectations from the start.

Step 6: Logical Planning Order – Our Signature Approach
We plan in a proven logical order, ensuring smooth coordination and smart decision-making:

Each service comes with:
