Happy Events — Wedding Planner (Athens)

Happy Events is a full-service wedding and event planning company based in Athens, led by owner and Creative Director Sofia (Sophie) Vamvouni. With over a decade of experience designing weddings across Greece, the studio has become a reference point for destination weddings built around each couple's love story.

A bespoke, holistic approach

Sophie and her team start every project by listening — to your story, your style, and the way you want to feel on the day. From the first consultation through the final dance, they handle planning, design, logistics and on-site coordination so couples (and their families) can stay present and relaxed.

Destination weddings, end to end

From Athens and the Athenian Riviera to Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Spetses, Paros and Monemvasia, Happy Events knows Greece's top venues — and the lesser-known hidden gems. They handle international couples planning from abroad, coordinate trusted local suppliers, and infuse Greek light, herbs, and traditions into each celebration. Featured in Wedding Chicks, Amber & Muse, Wedding Sparrow and Chic and Stylish.
