A marriage proposal in Santorini with us costs between 950 and 2,500 euros, depending on the package you choose (prices do not include VAT). Our Adventurous Proposal Package starts at 950 euros, a private dinner proposal at the AION venue runs from 1,500 to 2,500 euros, and a private catamaran proposal costs 2,000 to 2,350 euros. Those are our real, printed prices, the same ones we quote by email.
We are the Sirigos family, we've been planning proposals here in Fira since 1996, and this is the question every couple asks us first. Most planners answer it with "contact us for a quote". We'd rather just show you the numbers!
What do our proposal packages actually cost?
Here are the three package families, exactly as they appear on our package pages:
- Adventurous Proposal Package — 950, 1,250 or 1,500 euros. Three hours with your photographer across two locations: a casual shoot with the Blue Domes of Imerovigli behind you, then the proposal spot itself, a peaceful place overlooking the caldera and the sunset.
- Private Dinner Proposal — 1,500 euros for a 1-hour private venue proposal (no dinner), 2,000 euros for 2 hours with dinner time, 2,500 euros for 3 hours. All at AION, the only waterfront venue on the island, down at the Old Port of Fira facing the volcano.
- Sunset Boat Proposal — 2,000 to 2,350 euros for a 5-hour private catamaran cruise. Our only all-inclusive package: meal on board, drinks, snorkeling stops, and the photographer with you for all five hours.
Every tier, even the smallest, includes the things that make the day actually work: a bottle of champagne, transportation, coordination of the vendors, and one of us standing somewhere nearby (discreetly!) while it all happens.
What makes the price go up?
Three things, mostly. The first is privacy. Proposing at a beautiful public spot costs less than renting a whole venue for yourselves, and that's the main difference between the 950 euro package and the dinner packages.
The second is time. More hours of photography and more hours of venue rental cost more. You can see it in the dinner tiers: 2 hours of private venue with dinner starts at 2,000 euros, the 3-hour version at 2,500.
The third is the extras. A flower bouquet, rose petals, a speaker playing your song, fountain fireworks after sunset, a videographer... each one adds a little. On the catamaran, sunset also costs slightly more than a morning cruise, 2,200 versus 2,000 euros, simply because everybody wants the sunset!
One thing that does not change the price is the day of the week. We charge the same on a Saturday as on a Tuesday. High season (May to October) affects availability much more than it affects our price list, so if your heart is set on a date, book it early. Our early-book discount can save you up to 20% on the total cost.
The price we give you is the total price you will pay, No hidden fees!
Can you propose in Santorini for under 1,000 euros?
Yes! And not a stripped-down version either. The standard tier of our Adventurous package is 950 euros and includes your photographer for 3 hours with 80 colour-graded pictures, private air-conditioned transportation from your hotel, a bottle of champagne, 30 candles in the shape of a heart, a social media reel, a blindfold if you want the big reveal, a restaurant reservation for afterwards (the meal itself is paid by you), and our coordination and presence during the proposal.
In our experience this package gives some of the most emotional proposals we do. A quiet spot above the caldera, the heart of candles, the famous sunset doing the rest. Nobody has ever complained to us about a Santorini sunset.
How much does it cost to elope or have a small wedding in Santorini?
Plenty of couples ask us to turn the proposal into a wedding, sometimes on the very same day! Our Symbolic Wedding Packages cost 850, 1,600 or 1,900 euros. The essential tier covers the organization, the celebrant, music for your entrance and the champagne afterwards. The bigger tiers add a photographer and videographer, transportation and ceremony decorations, and the premium one adds the bridal bouquet, the groom's boutonniere and a hairdresser at your hotel.
If you're dreaming of a secret Santorini elopement, write to us well before your trip so we can prepare everything in time. It's more common than you'd think, and honestly, it's beautiful.
Is a package cheaper than booking everything yourself?
You could book a photographer, a driver, the decorations and a dinner table separately. Some couples try it. What usually happens is four contracts, four deposits, and four people who have never worked together before, all supposed to be perfectly on time for a sunset that waits for nobody.
With a package you have one contact (us), vendors we've worked with for years, and a representative standing by when the moment comes, quietly fixing every little thing before you even notice it. We won't pretend the value is only about money. In our experience the biggest saving is stress, and on the day you propose, that is worth a lot.
