My Journey to Becoming a Celebrant
Hi, I'm Aleka, and expressions of love make me very happy and hopeful! That's why I've chosen to become a celebrant—to be part of life's most beautiful celebrations.
Based in Mykonos, Greece, a place I've been visiting since childhood, I've created a home on this magical island that holds countless beautiful memories and friendships spanning over 40 years. The vibrant culture, warm people, and breathtaking landscapes have always felt like my safe, fun, and beautiful haven.
With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry, I've had the privilege of working and living across the globe—from Australia and Asia to Europe and the Middle East. This international journey has blessed me with a deep appreciation for different cultures, beliefs, and traditions, which I bring to every ceremony I create.
My Life in Mykonos
My amazing husband and I have raised three young adult children who, like me, have made the world their oyster. When they visit, we embrace the true Greek lifestyle—gathering around tables filled with delicious Greek cuisine, wine, laughter, debates, and lively conversation (sometimes even a competitive game of backgammon!).

Creating Your Perfect Ceremony
I truly believe that expressions of love are the heart of life, which is why I've made them the center of mine. Each ceremony I create is unique and tailored specifically to the couple I'm working with. I bring an open heart and authentic joy to every celebration, whether it's:
-
A wedding that blends cultural traditions
-
An intimate elopement for just the two of you
-
A renewal of vows celebrating years of love
-
A ceremony that honors same-sex love
-
A celebration that welcomes blended families
Being able to create these special moments in the magical islands of Greece—a place of crystal blue waters and breathtaking sunsets—is truly a blessing. I feel privileged to share my heritage and this beautiful part of the world with couples from around the globe.
My Values as Your Celebrant
My work as a celebrant is guided by principles of inclusivity and respect. I welcome couples of all backgrounds, religions, cultures, and orientations. I believe that if you are fortunate enough to find love in someone , and to share a journey, then your love story deserves to be celebrated beautifully, and I'm honored to play a role in creating ceremonies that authentically reflect each couple's journey.
I love incorporating meaningful elements that speak to your relationship while adding touches of Greek tradition to honor the special location you've chosen for your celebration.
Let's Create Your Ceremony Together
I can't wait to hear your story and help you craft a ceremony that captures the essence of your relationship in this beautiful corner of the world. Your vision will be my mission—whether you're planning a small, intimate gathering or a grand celebration surrounded by loved ones from around the world.
