My now husband and I worked with Anna and her team at Crete for Love for our wedding in October 2023 (and pre-wedding brunch). I have nothing but great things to say about working with Anna. She made my vision come to life! Our ceremony and reception went from day to night, and everything was gorgeous no matter what time of day. Our eclectic boho rustic whimsical fall garden party was everything I hoped it would be.

We live in New York, and I’m a very type A person, so trusting a stranger literally thousands of miles away to help with basically all aspects of our wedding was really scary. I remember being so anxious for months after we booked Anna because I felt like most things were out of my hands and Anna was so busy.

Let me just say, it’s not a bad thing if your wedding planner is too busy with other events to reply constantly when your wedding is more than 3-4 months out. Honestly, I was anxious that I didn’t seem to hear much from Anna after we booked the big things (venue, lighting, DJ, hair and makeup) and were still 6 ish months out from our wedding. However, as soon as we were 2-3 months out, Anna was super present! I realized that it just wasn’t my turn yet. Anna was busy being the magician for other people’s big days, and that’s exactly what you want from a planner! As soon as it was our turn, Anna made me feel like our wedding was the only one she was working on (when, in reality, she is always working on a handful).

Anna is so detail oriented and on top of everything. If I wanted something, she was amazing at getting it done. This includes finding a beautiful full-length mirror like 2 weeks before our wedding to use as our welcome sign. One of my biggest stressors was if the vendors would be easy to work with/if they would deliver what they promised. Anna is the one who selected the vendors, and we mostly worked with her instead of them. She made sure nothing big went wrong, and immediately remedied small things that I mentioned. I felt completely comfortable being honest with Anna about my needs and wants, and she never ever made me feel like I was asking for too much or that I was unreasonable. She also was amazing at making sure we didn’t spend more money than we needed to, and I felt like she really looked out for us when it came to being charged a fair price (I’ve heard this can be an issue for destination weddings). All of her vendors also had nothing but great things to say about her (including how strict she is with them, meaning her clients only get the best service)! I felt really safe and protected when working with Anna.

Anna is an amazing planner and person, and I can’t recommend Crete for Love enough! It would be a pleasure if I could plan another event with Anna again.

Anna and her team was fantastic. Would definitely recommend to work together with her if you are planning a wedding. As we were from Switzerland, we had to organize a lot through chats and calls. She was very well organized, always gave us an overview on the current situation and everything went exactly as we wished!

Anna and Crete for Love made our dreams for our son’s bar mitzvah in Crete come true! Anna expertly guided us through all of the planning and execution and it couldn’t have been better! We’ll miss working with Anna and hope to return for another event with her in the future! ❤️

Anna did an amazing job! Our wedding at farm was stunning and the planning and execution was on point. It was an absolute dream day, and we couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Our journey with Crete for Love was absolutely exceptional and stress-free from start to finish. The ability of Anna and her Team to keep everything under control, even when timelines got tight, was incredibly reassuring for us. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, communication was proactive and clear, making us feel supported and well-informed at every stage. The beauty and attention to detail in the decorations at both our beach wedding ceremony and the reception at Markakis Estate were extraordinary, creating beautiful memories that will last for years. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect realization of our dream day. Thank you ❤️

We wanted to say big thank you to our wedding planner – Anna, the photographer – Andreas, and the rest of CreteForLove team, who made our wedding day truly unforgettable!
As our wedding was in Crete and we are located overseas, we decided to opt out for a local planner, and we were lucky to find Anna. She kept us organized, kept notes of all details we requested, provided invaluable advice on key points essential during the process. Even though I always heard people say “nothing goes as planned during wedding”, our wedding was extremely smooth and everything happened as planned!
Andreas, the photographer, did excellent job at capturing all the important moments for us to keep forever and we already framed some of the shots!

Hiring Anna, the owner of Crete For Love, is probably the best decision I made for my wedding (besides the dress!). She made our experience so easy, enjoyable, and absolutely lovely (especially the day of the wedding!).

Her team did a great job addressing some concerns, we had some cultural differences we needed some help with. She was incredibly understanding, compassionate, and supportive. Really felt like my number one go to throughout the entire process. She did a great job meeting us half way in regards to budget, really helping us realize what was practical and unnecessary to achieve our dream wedding. She was also understanding when family members tried to intervene and ask for last minute requests. All in all, your wedding planner should be your friend and number one alliance throughout the entire process, and Anna did well above and beyond. Thank you for the endless memories and for making our dream come true.

Where do I begin?! Anna, her husband & their entire team were beyond amazing! From the tiniest detail to the very biggest, everything was executed to perfection and was more than we could’ve hoped for 🙂 Planning a wedding is hard enough, but planning one abroad is doubly as stressful, Anna made everything so easy and calmed our (mainly mine lol) wedding jitters. The location was beautiful and everything came together so amazingly! We fell in love with Greece and are already planning another trip back!

Wow, what an incredible day. Anna was amazing, and helped us plan the event of our dreams from start to finish.

On the day we didn’t have to worry about a thing, and everything was taken care of for us so we could relax and enjoy.

One particular bonus was having someone who understood all of the local legal processes, which couples must not overlook when planning a wedding in Crete. Anna was excellent in providing us everything we needed.

So for any Cretan destination wedding, and your on the fence about which wedding planner/whether to have a wedding planner, we highly recommend Anna & Crete For Love.

Thank you Anna!

How can I possible put into words how amazingly wonderful Crete for Love is? Well to start, Anna, the planner, is organized, creative, timely and supportive. My husband and I had this crazy idea of having a destination wedding, which can be extremely stressful, but Anna took all that stress away with her advice, suggestions and calming words. Andreas, the photographer, was able to capture our magical experience with every photo he took. He showed so much creativity with locations and poses.
Overall, I would 10/10 recommend Crete for Love plan your destination wedding in Crete, Greece.

Thanks to Anna and the team for the magic they have created for me and my husband.

Crete for love made our special day perfect! Everything was carefully thought through and arranged to details. The team guided us fully through variety of options and helped to find the best.

Anna is putting her heart in every single planning step! So for anyone planning the wedding in Crete, if she accepts to take planning for your wedding – You are the luckiest couples ever
