COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a wrench in the plans for those who were planning big weddings with hundreds of guests. But life does not stop with COVID-19. In reality when you plan to tie the knot during this difficult period, you are creating your own special love story that you will remember forever. You can still get to experience the wedding of your dreams.

The difference between Elopement and Intimate Weddings
There is a difference between an elopement and intimate weddings. To understand these differences is what makes the actual planning of the wedding easier for both the host and the couple.
Both types of wedding ceremonies are simple and romantic and involve few or no guests. As you consider the type of ceremony you want, understanding the difference between an elopement and an intimate wedding leads to a better understanding of the difference regarding pricing and availability.
Elopement is when the couple runs away and marries secretly, either alone or with a few good friends. The guest list is small—usually under 10 people. In fact, some elopement ceremonies have no guests except for the couple and the witnesses.
An intimate wedding is no secret. The couple chooses to marry in a romantic spot accompanied by a close circle of family and friends.
Speaking of guests, at Heliades Villas can host up to 26-30 guests in the three Villas of our Estate, but in case the number of your guest list exceeds this number we could help you find accommodations nearby.
Intimate weddings make for great destination weddings. When it comes to locations for a destination wedding, Andros Island in Greece is ideal. From the historic to the captivating Cycladic Island beauty, you’re sure to find Heliades Villas as a romantic setting that provides the perfect ambiance for your intimate wedding.
