Eliis & Jaak | A Perfect and Unique Elopement in the beauty of Cretan Nature
Discover why eloping in Crete is timeless — warm seasons, mountain and sea landscapes, and expertly planned intimate elopements in Greece.
Elopements hold a special place in our hearts. There is something truly magical about a day when a couple chooses to dedicate it entirely to themselves — celebrating every second together and consciously cherishing each moment. Eliis and Jaak embraced this intimacy in a way not many couples do, by getting ready together, creating space for quiet, sacred moments before their ceremony. This intentional choice made their destination elopement even more personal, and it was something we deeply loved and honoured throughout the planning.
Planning an Autumn Elopement During Peak Wedding Season
Despite Eliis and Jaak reaching out to us with an elopement planning request during the height of our summer wedding season, for an intimate destination elopement planned for the end of October, our years of experience in wedding and elopement planning assured us it was absolutely achievable. The very first priority was securing professional photographers and confirming their availability within the requested dates — a crucial element for any wedding, and especially for an elopement, where capturing the atmosphere, emotions, and setting becomes the heart of the story.
Elopements in Crete are popular for a reason.
Eliis and Jaak chose to elope in one of Crete’s most atmospheric hidden gems — an olive mill factory Biolea surrounded by mountain views, offering both a unique wedding venue and an exceptional culinary experience. Reserved exclusively for them, the space became a private sanctuary for their destination elopement in Greece, allowing every moment to unfold with intention and intimacy. Their ceremony took place in a serene olive grove, just the two of them, guided by an officiant and framed by nature, simplicity, and stillness. With minimal décor designed in our signature wedding style, live music accompanying their private dinner, and time intentionally left for photography, the day was crafted to celebrate connection, presence, and the beauty of eloping in Crete.
Eloping in Crete offers a rare balance of ease, beauty, and seasonality that few European destinations can match. As the southernmost Greek island, Crete enjoys longer, warmer days and an extended wedding season that begins earlier and ends later than anywhere else in Greece, supported by direct European flights well beyond the summer months. From dramatic mountain landscapes and ancient olive groves to pristine beaches and thoughtfully curated new venues emerging each year, Crete provides endless scenery for a truly personal elopement experience. With our extensive and up-to-date experience in destination weddings and elopements in Greece, we make it effortless for couples to escape colder climates and step into the Mediterranean sun — trusting their most meaningful day to professional hands, thoughtful planning, and a setting designed for just the two of them.
