1. Selinunte's Greek Temples, Sicily, Italy.
Historical Site Wedding
This Wedding Venue is where we organised one of our best projects so far, nominated 'Best Destination Wedding in Italy 2023'.
The Ancient Greeks built this temple in such a way that on the solstice, as the sun dipped below the horizon, it would cast a golden glow through the temple's central columns, creating an ethereal and almost surreal ambiance.
The bride made a grand entrance in a charming cart drawn by two white horses. To welcome her, three Greek dancers moved gracefully through the air, their chants echoing ancient legends and tales of Greek heroes.
The breeze carried the tender melodies of a string quartet, adding to the serene atmosphere. This intimate celebration, set amidst such historic grandeur, was nothing short of surreal. We have captured it all on video, available just below. :)"
