Alannah and Adam’s wedding on a picturesque olive grove in Crete was an alchemy of rustic charm, thoughtful details and lovely florals. This couple traveled to Greece and had their wedding at the gorgeous Arbora Olea Luxury Resort that is situated amidst the most beautiful green olive grove we have seen and NM Events planned every single detail in the most beautiful way!

«Adam and I were both living in London, him being Irish and myself Australia and were introduced through a mutual friend at the gym where Adam was working! We finally had a chance to go back and visit my family in Melbourne after 3 years due to Covid and it was there that he asked for my Dad’s permission to marry me. He had organized a day out at a winery with the help of my twin sister, he took me away to a scheduled area near a lake and proposed before joining our family for lunch and champagne to celebrate our engagement!»
«We wanted a wedding that felt very elegant and timeless, while still having a rustic feeling but with a slightly more modern theme. We also wanted to lean into the natural olive grove and nature around us, hence why we chose to have a white boutique with olive leaves, and natural tones in the wedding, whites, greens, champagne, etc, and also green suits for the groom and groomsmen as a nod to Adam being Irish. »
«We were completely blown away by all the details of the ceremony and reception, my favorite decoration though was the lighting that formed a canopy tunnel that the dining table sat underneath, I had never seen anything like this before and it just brought the entire space together and made it feel so magical and unique.»

«Both Adam and I walked down the aisle, Adam first with his mother as the ceremony started, and then myself later with my dad, both of us cherished this moment, seeing each other for the first time, surrounded by our closest friends and family. But also just seeing how much fun everyone had, enjoying the food, speeches and of course the dancing!»
«It will all come together in the end, trust your wedding planner and trust the process! For us having a local Cretan wedding planner (NM Events) was the best decision we made, which helped take all the stress out of planning our wedding abroad. Plus on the day Nikki from NM Events and her team ensured everything ran so smoothly for us!»
«My dress was by an amazing female designer based in New York – Alexandra Grecco, which I found through The Lovely Bride in London. I have never felt more beautiful than when wearing this gown, I wanted something that felt timeless, elegant, and clean, I wanted the silhouette to speak for itself and fit like a glove, was so comfortable, and feminine.»
