The philosophy is beautifully simple: this is your day, your way. From the ceremony setup to the reception design, from the first toast to the last dance, you have complete creative freedom to craft an experience that reflects who you are as a couple.

Built in perfect harmony with Santorini's magnificent volcanic landscape, Cavo Ventus occupies three thoughtfully designed outdoor levels, each offering its own special atmosphere for different moments of your day.
Saying "I Do" at the Top of the World
The ceremony takes place on the highest level of the estate. Uninterrupted views of the caldera create an unparalleled backdrop for the most important moment of your life. As you exchange your vows with the iconic windmill standing sentinel and the endless Aegean stretching before you, your photographer and videographer will capture images so stunning, you'll treasure them for a lifetime.
