The Person Behind Emerald
Hi, I’m Smaragda
My name means emerald in Greek — and this island has been my home and my inspiration for as long as I can remember. Emerald Events is boutique on purpose: when you work with me, you work with me, not a rotating team of coordinators.
Together with people I trust, I plan everything from quiet elopements to full destination weddings — always with the same aim: a day that fulfils your wishes and stays in your heart long after the last guest has gone home.

What I Do
Everything, handled with care
A wedding is the start of a love story that keeps unfolding. From the first idea to the last dance, here's how I help it come to life.
The Place · Santorini
A backdrop no venue could invent
There’s a reason couples cross the world for this island. Santorini gives you romance without effort — caldera sunsets, whitewashed villages, hidden coves reached only by footpath or boat, and views that make every photograph look composed.
And because it’s home, I know its quiet corners as well as its famous ones — the spots that will make your guests remember the day as vividly as you do.
Where I Plan
Santorini is home, Greece is in reach
Most of my couples marry here on the island, and that’s where my heart and my little black book are. But a wedding doesn’t have to be tied to one place — when yours belongs somewhere else in Greece, I travel to plan it with the same care.
- Home base
Santorini
Where I live and where most of my weddings happen. I know the caldera terraces, the hidden chapels and the vendors I’ve trusted for years — and the quiet corners no search result will show you.
- City & Riviera
Athens
Historic venues, rooftops facing the Acropolis and coastal estates a short drive from the airport — easy on guests flying in from everywhere.
- Island & coast
Crete
Beaches, olive groves and old stone estates, with room for the long, generous kind of celebration Crete does best.
Another island, a mainland estate, the village your family comes from? Tell me where you’re dreaming of and we’ll take it from there.
