Create Stories — Wedding Planner (Ioannina)

Create Stories is a wedding and event planning studio based in Ioannina, founded and led by Yiannis Gyftopoulos. From the first idea to the final toast, the team designs personal, detail-led celebrations that read as your story rather than a template — venue scouting, decor, supplier coordination and on-the-day management included.

A planner for couples in Epirus and beyond

Based in Ioannina, Create Stories regularly travels for destination weddings across Greece and Cyprus, including a recent summer wedding for Antonis & Eleftheria in Koufonisia. Whether the celebration is a lakeside ceremony in Epirus, a chapel wedding in Zagori, or a beach reception in the Cyclades, the studio handles logistics, vendors and styling end-to-end.

How we work

We start with a free first meeting — in person in Ioannina or by phone — to understand the couple, the budget and the venues you have in mind. From there we build a tailored plan: timeline, supplier shortlist, decor concept, guest experience and a full coordination playbook for the wedding day so the couple actually gets to enjoy it.

• Full wedding planning — concept, timeline, supplier shortlist and budget management from engagement to the wedding day
• Partial planning & day-of coordination — pick up an already-started plan or run only the wedding-day logistics
• Destination weddings — Ioannina, Zagori, Parga, Koufonisia, Cyclades and weddings across Greece and Cyprus
• Wedding decor & styling — floral design, table styling, signage and ceremony decor tailored to the couple
• Baptisms & gender reveals — full styling and coordination for christenings, baby showers and gender-reveal parties
• Corporate events — conferences, networking nights, exhibition stands and company celebrations
• Vendor management — photographers, videographers, DJs, catering, transport and accommodation handled in one place
• Free first consultation — meet the team, share the vision and get a clear scope before committing

• Local know-how in Ioannina and Zagori — trusted suppliers, venues by the lake and mountain estates around Epirus
• Destination experience — weddings delivered in Koufonisia and across the Greek islands and Cyprus
• Single point of contact — one planner for all suppliers, timelines and the wedding-day run sheet
• 5.0 / 5.0 rating from couples we have planned weddings for
• Free first meeting so you can scope the wedding before any commitment

Beyond weddings, Create Stories designs baptisms, baby showers and gender reveals, plus corporate events such as conferences, networking evenings and exhibition stands. The same detail-led approach applies to every event — concept, suppliers, decor and on-the-day coordination — so the host can stay with the guests.
