Did you know!? ☝🏻🫢😲
Hospitality is one of the most ancient practices; but it was also regarded as sacred! And even though today is seen through a modern lens, still maintains its core value.

I’ve spent many years in Hospitality, but the essence and practice are rooted in the principles instilled by my family. Today, I carry these values in my life's practices, and how I approach life’s most intimate moments.

My Onar allows me to express myself and infuse those principles into weddings, events and experiences, that feel warm, personal, elevated and memorable—spaces where each individual feels truly embraced and celebrated.

Whispered vows, timeless moments 🌿✨
There's something enchanting about those quiet moments before everything begins, a chance to just be with the one who makes your heart sing. Whether it’s a gentle smile, a tender whisper, or a simple touch, these are the fleeting glances that tell a love story without words.

Capture the magic, embrace the calm, and let the memories linger long after the day is done. Weddings are not just about the big moments but these little ones that make your heart pause. Let’s plan a day that’s as unique and beautiful as the love you share. 💍✨

Setting Clear Expectations for Your Wedding Journey
Every wedding begins with a vision, but clarity and communication turn that dream into reality. From my experience, I know that outlining expectations from day one is crucial. Together, we’ll create a roadmap detailing every step, task, and timeline, ensuring you know exactly what to expect and when.

Often, couples feel overwhelmed, but with a clear plan, things quickly become manageable. Having everything organised allows you to relax and enjoy the journey, knowing your dream day is in capable hands. ✨

Hello October! 🍂🍁
The crisp air, the golden leaves, and a sense of transition—it’s officially autumn! 🍃

As we dive deeper into wedding season, October brings a unique charm with its rich, warm colours and cosy vibes. Whether you're embracing an autumnal celebration or preparing for next year's big day, here’s a little tip: Don’t be afraid to embrace the season!
Use nature’s beauty to inspire your décor—think rich hues, seasonal florals, and earthy tones that complement the time of year. 🍂✨

And for those considering outdoor celebrations, remember to plan for unpredictable weather—an indoor backup option is always a good idea!

October is all about warmth, connection, and making lasting memories—let’s create those unforgettable moments together! 💍

Be in the Moment 💕
Weddings are a whirlwind of excitement, but it’s crucial to find those moments to unwind and truly enjoy the process. To all the beautiful future out there, remember to take things slow, or a well-deserved break, throughout the process. And remember laughing out loud, helps release a lot of tension that may build on the day. My advice for your wedding day is to:

✨ Be in the Moment: Embrace the joy, the laughter, and the little moments of calm amidst the chaos. Your wedding day is a celebration of love, and it’s important to feel every bit of it.

✨ Unwind: Take deep breaths, sip some tea or coffee, and give yourself permission to relax. Trust in the team you’ve assembled; they are there to handle the details and make your day perfect.

✨ Enjoy the Process: Don’t stress over the small stuff. Openly talk about your concerns and let your team address them. Remember, this is your day to shine and create timeless memories.

✨ Have Fun: Make jokes, share laughs, and take things lightly. A relaxed and happy energy is infectious and will spread to everyone around you.

Your wedding day is a significant milestone, a day to be remembered and cherished for a lifetime. Make sure you enjoy every moment, share your happiness, and create beautiful memories with those you love the most.

Hello June! 🌊
And hello summer! Officially! Well,... definitely, somewhere on this planet, because the weather so far in the UK is nowhere near summer, and according to the news this will be the wettest summer in a decade!

Which brings up a hot topic! PLAN B!!! Are you aware of what is that?
Indoors and A Destination Wedding!

As you can never predict the weather, and you never know how is going to turn out, if you have an outdoor wedding, is good to hire a venue that will be able to accommodate the party indoors, whether that is due to rain, heavy winds, or sometimes extensive heat! Especially challenging it can be for you as a couple because you are up from early morning running around and that can weaken your system!
POINTERS! Stay always hydrated and small bytes can help you maintain your energy throughout the day!

Now if you are interested for a Destination Wedding because you seek those summer vibes for your Dream Wedding, you know that I love travelling, so let me take your wedding on a destination experience!

London and UK is my current home base, but my go-to destination countries within Europe and the Mediterranean, are:
- Greece [Obviously! It would be offensive not to have No1. on my list my Mothe-Country!]
- Spain & Balearic Islands
- France
- Portugal, Azzores & Canarian Islands
- Croatia
- Denmark
- Netherlands

And for South & East Asia
- Sri Lanka
- Japan

Which one is your favourite and where would you like your dream wedding to become an unforgettable experience!?

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS!

And remember! Regardless of the destination make sure you always have the PLAN B within your plans!

INQUIRIES, CONTRACTS, or, just a "GENERAL" question!(?)
There is no such thing as a "general" question when it comes to wedding planning!
Contracts exist for a reason, and inquiries are not just simple questions; they are part of a formal, time-consuming process.

First of all, you as a couple are unique. Your love story, your guests, and your preferences for the wedding day are unlike anyone else's. Therefore, a generic question cannot adequately address the needs of your special day.

Inquiries involve extensive communication, with countless emails and coordination on all sides. When you ask a "simple question," as wedding planners, we don't just ask around. We consult professionals to provide quotes, and for that, we need to be specific. Accurate quotes reflect the specific needs of your wedding day, ensuring the budget aligns perfectly with your vision. None of us wants any surprises!

That's where contracts come into play. A contract with a wedding planner marks the beginning of a relationship and partnership. It provides you with the exclusivity of time and dedicated research, making the process bespoke and personalized. Contracts ensure transparency and exclusive focus on your wedding day. With a contract in place, I can give my full attention to your needs, conduct fully customized research, and make adjustments as necessary. If something doesn't work or you don't like it, the contract allows us the flexibility to tailor and refine choices to better suit you. While there may be limitations, they stem from extensive research to find what is most suitable for you and only you.

As you see, a "general question" can create confusion and take time away from you, other couples, and the planning process needed to secure the vendors that truly fit your dream wedding day!
So, shall we start planning?

Hello, May 🪷
May brings the wedding season 2024 to our doorstep.

Which means that this is the time for our 2024 couples to finalise their last details before their wedding coming up this summer/fall and the PERFECT time for our 2025 couples, to book their bespoke wedding planning/styling services and their highest priority vendors, such as:
- venue
- photographer/videographer

The 2024 wedding season will be intimate and lowkey but 2025 will be very busy and loud!

So, the more you get done in advance, and the more bookings you confirm with/from your vendors, THE BETTER! Be the first to take a seat at the table, and secure a stress-free whimsical day, like the one you've been dreaming of!

Any concerns, tips or advice, I am always here to help.

I highly recommend it! 🤓
First of all, I love concrete/cement, or brick, unfinished and sometimes industrial kind of venues. They work magnificently as a blank canvas and most of time are also a great base for any colour palette/combination.

My father was an architect, with whom I spent endless hours in buildings during that state; unfinished, raw, only the core, fully exposed. We used to do site visits, overlooking construction and design and I learned a lot in the process.

Then along with Hospitality, I learned even more about venues and when they are occupied.

If you choose to create a tailored experience of services, I highly recommend including venue scouting. It is one of my favourite processes in event design and one of my greatest skill sets. Depending on the event description (style, theme, guests/attendees number, reason, etc.) and location, I can do research and site visits to ensure that the selected one, fits the requirements of your event's needs.

Book a discovery call through the link in the description, tell me more about your event or project and for you to learn more about the process. Let's do it over some tea or coffee.

I was in shock when I heard "NO Wine Allowed"! 🍷 WHY?
A couple of months ago, doing a site visit, I came across something for the first time!

I love me some wine. Given my Hospitality background, I have a knack for selecting and pairing wines for different occasions. Growing up in Greece, an area where local production was in abundance and with the influence of God Dionysos in our mythology, wine appreciation comes naturally to me.

So I was in shock when they told me that NO red wine is allowed. You can have white or sparkling, but no red (or rose).
That's because the building is a Grade I listed building, with an impeccable amount of artwork and detail in the architecture!
Red (or rose) wine, in the case of a spillage, can cause significant damage to the walls and the art, with no means to repair it.

Which is WHY, certain venues, may not allow you to have red or rose wine, at your wedding or in certain areas of the building.
And, this is why you need to review their policies before booking external catering, especially if it's not listed.
Frankly, buildings like that are quite strict with their listed suppliers, so be prepared to compromise, vendor or venue?

Things like these are essential to know and be prepared for. I can present you with the best options, alternatives and the reasoning behind each option as I like transparency.

I am here to make your day a true celebration, and raise a glass or two to cheer or "yia mas" as we say in Greek, with or without RED wine!

Did you know!? 🧿🧿🧿
Working in the event and wedding industry, I am blessed for all the skills but also for all the diverse knowledge that you can randomly collect, through hard work of course, for culture, history, art, design and the list goes on!

This is WHY I like to share them as facts or tips, because there is more than meets the eye. What we do in our everyday lives, for work, is deeper, not just a "beautiful" post.

So, please, I encourage you to share that knowledge! After all, it's all about YOUR special day!

Hello July, hello hotter, happier summer days!!! Well, maybe UK weather doesn't scream hot and summer, but my mind is instantly ESCAPING to places like the image above. A utopian, isolated beach with #tidewatergreen waves and #setsailchampagne sand on my feet! I actually read recently somewhere, that "if your holiday destination doesn't allow you to be barefoot, then you are probably, overdressed"! But don't mind me, as I am counting down the days to my holidays, and you should know that I always come back bearing gifts!! So stay tuned!!! Oh! Before I forget! Talking about escaping, and while summer is still upon us, I'll be diving into some more colour trends for 2021 in the upcoming days! #OnarEvents #OnarDesign #Onarweddings #OnarExperience #OnarCorporate #OnarDreams #OnarDestinations #dreams #uniqueexperience #greekweddingdesigner #intimatewedding #destinationweddings #greekislands #athens #mykonos #santorini #lefkada #rhodes #crete #corfu #majorca #menorca #ibiza #summer2021 #fortunagold #shutterstock2021
