«In my profession as a hair and makeup artist, the wedding industry is the avenue I enjoy the most. Amidst this all the wonderful venues I frequent, the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa has long held a special place in my heart, emerging as one of my most beloved wedding venues. My then boyfriend, knowing how much I love the Twelve Apostles, decided to book me to do bridal hair and makeup for a “high profile” client under a fake name. I got several of these bookings so didn’t think anything was odd and knew not to ask in depth questions. When I arrived at the venue, I was escorted through to the back garden area where I was told the client was waiting BUT to my surprise, Garryn, was waiting under the pergola with a bottle of bubbly and a huge smile. », the bride shared with us.
«My husband and I envisioned a dreamy destination wedding, and our hearts settled on the enchanting island of Santorini. After careful consideration, we discovered the breathtaking venue, El Viento, nestled along the cliffside, offering unparalleled views of the majestic caldera.»
Inspired by the timeless elegance of Greece, we opted for a minimalist aesthetic, embracing earthy tones that harmonized perfectly with the surroundings, leaving the breathtaking Santorini sunset to set the mood. To infuse an enchanting charm into the evening ambiance, we adorned the venue with delicate fairy lights, casting a spell of romance upon our celebration.
