A Three-Day Destination Wedding in Ios Island, Amy & Tom’s Cycladic Gem Celebration

For couples dreaming of a luxury destination wedding in Greece, the Cyclades offer an unmatched blend of elegance, minimalism, and iconic island beauty. And when it comes to unforgettable celebrations, Ios Island is a rising star—an island that blends cosmopolitan energy with serene turquoise waters and the timeless charm of the white Cycladic architecture.

Amy & Tom traveled with their closest friends and family for a three-day wedding experience that felt like a private Greek island festival—refined, intimate, emotional, and beautifully curated. Every moment unfolded like a scene from a luxury editorial, and being with them for the entire journey was an honor.
