Plenty to choose from so you will have fun deciding on what to do! I am okay on boats, just worried I will lose a shoe getting on the boat or something daft like that!! We are getting married at 5pm, you? Hopefully it won't be as hot then!!
Are you looking forward to your meeting?
Suzie
P.S I am in work at the moment, hence the reason I am replying so quickly to the messages!
we're getting married at 4.30pm, i originally wanted the 7th September but if i'd had that date we would have had to get married at 8pm, which i felt was a little to late in the day, so we went with the 5th in the end. I am looking forward to meeting with karen as we've been talking about doing this for about 2 years, now it's all coming together at last, I think she said she'll bring some pics etc and i've been told by other people that she can recommend places to hold the reception, we've only got about 15-20 guests coming out so we're not a large party, i've seen some posts from people who have had 80-100 guests travelling with them and had to hire out entire restaurants! 
Karen has loads of pictures to show you of venues and weddings. The photos of other weddings are great because they give you ideas of what to have. I have chosen my bridesmaids bouquets and mine by looking at what someone else has had. There are photos of table decorations, cakes, etc etc!! Loads to look at!
We have 30 guests coming, a couple still to confirm.
We decided on Arhontiko because it has a private room you can use which appealed to us. The menu was nice and reasonable price too and they can cater for children. There is a courtyard where we will have champagne before entering the reception. The Greek band is playing from 9 - 12am.

We're hoping there is somewhere with a roof terrace, or something like that, open air with great views is what we would like for the reception, hopefully Karen will know somewhere like we have in mind. 
Cathrynjamie the restaurant of Luna Bar might suit you. It has fabulous views from the rooftop and the food is great (one of my favourite Lindos restaurants).
It's literally just across the road from Arhontinko

There's also Agostinos near the Top car park or Hermes near the square which both have roof terraces.
Hermes has changed hands since our fantastic wedding reception held there in May 2001 after we married at St Pauls Bay but is still as good by reputation. Make sure you visit the places first and try the food & wines - a good restaurant will let you do that & let you make up your own menu!

Hi all.
We had our meeting with Karen from Lindos weddings last night, she was great, very helpful, with lots of ideas for everything, we decided on which restaurant, but now i'm not sure of the name! I think it may have been Lindian house, if there is such a place?!
After meeting with her last night i would 100% recommend Karen to anyone thinking of getting married out there, now all I need is a dress!
Very exciting!

Hi
Glad your meeting went well with Karen. I would also recommend her, she is very helpful and full of ideas.
It's very exciting seeing all the venues and the photos of other weddings. Are you having Greek Musicians or anything like that?

No, we are just having a plain ceremony, then to the platform for champagne, then to the restaurant for food and more champagne! We've picked out the balloons etc for the table decorations and the bouquet, just got to decide on colours as i have no dress or bridesmaids dresses yet so once i know those i will let her know.
How about you? What are you having?

Hi again Cathryn
We also picked our balloons and my bouquet etc. We are having the Greek Musicians to meet us after the cruise. My hubby to be and I met at Music College and our families are both musical so it seemed apt!
My bridesmaid dresses are sky blue.
We didn't want a big wedding but it seems to have snowballed!!!
My advice on the dress front is to try and imagine wearing the dress in the heat!

I did see a dress that i liked, but that one went staight onto the NO pile when i realised how hot it will be out there! 
Me too
Couldn't imagine lugging it around in the heat at all. I am a bit worried about the heat because I didn't really realise how hot it can be over there, someone told me Lindos was the Oven of Rhodes!!
Anyone out there with dress tips?

Dresswise mine was simply mid-calf length - wide princess style neckline with short sleeved attatched bolero type thing in lace! I took a cream pashmina but didn't wear it at all. Far too hot even at 6pm (we married at 4)
Take a bottle of water for drinking by the church as it is very hot & there is little shade (the white reflects the heat too)
Simple plain court shoes (flatties to descend the steep pathway down to the chursh at St Pauls Bay as - if no-ones mentioned before - it is really steep & slippy!) No need for tights or stockings - far too hot .

Hi Greeklass
Thanks for all your tips, much appreciated. My dress is long with a tiny puddle train but it is floaty so hopefully not too hot!! Your dress sounded lovely.

I think I'm going to wait until I get there - there are only about 10 of us max going so shouldn't be a problem. We quite like Hellas in Pefkos and also Terpsis - so think it might be one of those.
