From elegant Prosecco Towers to colourful Aperol Spritz displays and a uniquely Cretan Raki Tower, discover creative wedding drink ideas to make your destination wedding in Crete actually fun and unforgetable. At Crete Within Weddings, we love combining modern wedding trends with the authentic character of the island, creating celebrations that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.

Prosecco Tower: Timeless Wedding Elegance

A Prosecco Tower transforms a traditional toast into a show-stopping moment. As sparkling wine cascades through meticulously arranged coupe glasses, it creates an elegant centrepiece and the ultimate photo opportunity. But let’s be honest: a Prosecco tower moment is all about the energy. Usually couples order it for photos. If so, this is your moment to get playful - bring the passion, share a splash-filled kiss, and embrace the fun, spirited chaos!

Aperol Tower: A Mediterranean Summer Vibe

Over the last decade, the Aperol Spritz has captured our hearts, becoming our most requested cocktail for summer wedding cocktail hours in Crete. For couples wanting a colourful, relaxed atmosphere, an Aperol Tower brings vibrant orange hues and Italian charm to your reception. There are two ways to execute this: you can either top off the tower with prosecco or pour the pre-mixed cocktail from the start. While the latter requires more expert planning to ensure the perfect pour, we say: if you’re going to do it, go big! It’s all about creating a memorable experience.

Raki Tower: A Unique Cretan Wedding Experience

Seeing these “tower-tradtions” gain popularity, often replacing the traditional wedding cake, made our creative team at Crete Within Weddings asked ourselves: why not a Raki Tower? In Crete, no party or family gathering is complete without tsikoudia (raki). Tsikoudia, commonly known as raki, is a traditional Cretan grape-based spirit associated with sharing, celebration and warm hospitality. Reimagined as a wedding drink tower, it becomes a distinctive local-inspired feature.

While a Raki Tower is a modern innovation rather than an ancient custom, it is a deeply meaningful way to celebrate your destination. We recommend serving this in small tasting portions and including thoughtful non-alcoholic alternatives, ensuring the moment is inclusive, special, and uniquely yours
