GET TO KNOW US

Meet our Team

Maria

FOUNDER & LEAD WEDDING PLANNER

Maria is the creative heart and steady, coffee-fueled engine behind thoughtfully designed weddings across Greece.

She collaborates with couples from all over the world to craft celebrations that feel personal, elegant, and entirely unique. Her events are known for their effortless refinement, warm atmosphere, and that subtle, unforgettable touch that makes each celebration truly memorable.

With a strong background in event planning and a keen eye for design, Maria seamlessly combines creativity with precision, making even the most complex weddings feel natural and graceful.

Hands-on and always attentive, Maria is the planner who will climb a ladder to adjust the lighting, perfect a floral arrangement, or fix a flyaway veil just moments before the ceremony. Calm, empathetic, and occasionally caught wiping away a tear during the vows, she brings heart, humor, and boundless passion to every celebration she touches.

Despoina

WEDDING PLANNER ASSISSTANT

If your wedding were a cake, Despoina would be the cherry on top, holding everything in place (and I promise, she wouldn’t eat half of it before serving… probably). Along with Maria, they are the team that will make sure everything flows perfectly, so you can enjoy your day without stress—and with plenty of laughter!

She loves helping and seeing smiles, which is why she puts all her energy into making the day as beautiful as possible. Organization is her superpower, calmness is her second nature, and her love for sweets… well, if you lose her, look next to the cake.

So, if you’re looking for someone who’s always one step ahead (and not just at the candy bar), you’ve found your person! Leave the tough stuff to her and enjoy your day—you deserve it!

Katerina

WEDDING PLANNER ASSISSTANT

Katerina is the wedding planner assistant who makes sure stress stays… off the guest list.

If there’s one thing to know about her, it’s that she’s always smiling (yes, even when the seating plan changes for the third time!) and she truly believes that with positive energy, everything becomes easier. Weddings are magical… but they can be a little chaotic sometimes. That’s exactly where she comes in.

Organization is her strong suit. She loves attention to detail and believes that success lies exactly there: in the right timing, the right placement, and the perfectly chosen ribbon.

For Katerina, this isn’t just a job. It’s an opportunity to help create memories that will last a lifetime and she can’t wait to help create yours.

        Working with The 25 Project was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were organized, calm, and completely on top of every detail. We had a large, international wedding with guests coming from all over the world, and Maria managed it all seamlessly, from logistics to timing to handling last-minute surprises.
