MK Event Design is a Full Service Event Planning, Design, and Production firm

Where do I even begin! If you’re thinking of it, just hire her on the spot! From the moment we met on Zoom I knew she was perfect. Throwing a destination wedding is a task in itself but with Maria by your side there is no need to fret. As a graduate student in her final year of school, Maria made the entire process seamless. With frequent and consistent communication all of my concerns and questions were always addressed. She turned our vision into life and made beautiful and impactful suggestions that truly made an everlasting impact on our wedding. We have been receiving endless compliments on our wedding with remarks such as “the best wedding ever.” Maria’s expertise go way beyond the wedding day, she was there for us 24/7. Her and her team took care of everything and we did not need to worry about one thing! She even held onto our wedding attire while we traveled internationally for our honeymoon. A true gem and must need for your wedding!! Maria will always be a huge part of our hearts and we consider her like family.

We can't recommend Maria at MK events highly enough! She truly handled everything -- from organizing every last detail to making the entire planning process feel as smooth and stress-free as possible. She is exceptionally organized and professional, consistently responsive and reliable, and an absolute joy to work with. Her extensive experience in wedding planning, combined with her warm personality, has helped her build strong relationships with a wide network of vendors. Because of that, she was able to offer us plenty of great options to choose from -- from floral arrangements and table settings to lighting and more. Thanks to her, we didn't have to stress at all about our wedding day. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond, go with Maria!

When my partner and I got engaged we started looking for a wedding planner straight away. We spoke to 5 different planners based in Greece before finding Maria. As soon as we had our first video call we knew our search was over and we booked Maria straight away. Her good energy, dedication and kind heart radiated, even through a video call.
We knew planning a 4 day destination wedding (both an Indian and a Civil wedding too) during the pandemic wouldn’t be easy but Maria made it all happen and reassured us along the way. She took away all our stress and allowed us to enjoy every single moment of our celebrations. Since the wedding, every single guest has contacted us to express that they felt they were in the middle of a fairytale/movie. She is not just a planner, she is a dream maker and has become part of our family. Maria, we cannot thank you enough for everything you have done.

After my husband's proposal last April I was immediately in contact with Maria. After a lot of research through goodness knows how many planners, I was pretty certain Maria was going to do the best job of them all, and I wasn't wrong! From the very first contact to even now, after the wedding is over, Maria has been incredibly helpful, always responding in great time and never fussed by my constant barrage of questions and changing my mind about things.

I also very quickly learned to trust her judgement and advice. She has a fantastic quality to be able to put your dreams into a reality and I can honestly say even having been involved in the planning with her from beginning to end, I was completely shocked by how absolutely AMAZING the wedding and reception was, I couldn't have imagined it would be so perfect.

My husband and I will never forget what a brilliant job Maria did, and every single guest has told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to (including their own!!). What can I say? Maria is attentive, perceptive, helpful, incredibly friendly, reassuring, and incredibly good at her job. I would recommend her services to absolutely anyone and am already trying to convince friends and family to employ her when their time comes... Steve and I would both like to say a HUGE thank you for everything you have done for us, and literally had the best time of our lives. You're the best!!

We are so glad to have hired Maria as our planner. Along with her team, they made sure very detail was absolutely perfect. It was impressive to see them in action. It is not easy to trust someone to execute your vision from miles and miles away but Maria is so organized that it made it easy to communicate and ultimately have the result we were looking for. All of our guests enjoyed themselves. We even had a great time - I often hear the bride and groom do not get to enjoy the wedding but not in this case. Thanks to Maria and her team, we truly enjoyed every m

We felt like we were in a fairytale on our big day! Maria planned a wedding that exceeded our dreamiest expectations and took all of our guests breath away. From start to finish, she handled the planning process with professionalism and designed the venue decor, flowers, table settings, bar, dance floor, entertainment, party favors etc., no detail was missed. She connected us to vendors who were extremely talented and artistic, and her vision spoke to our wishes. There was not a single flaw! She guided us in the right directions with our desires and her ideas were impeccable. 10/10 would recommend, the day was handled perfectly and working with her leading up to our wedding was a breeze. She is attentive, detailed, creative and a sweetheart! Thank you Maria for our perfect day ❤️❤️❤️

Maria and her team were extraordinary from start to finish! We worked with Maria for a year planning our 3-day Athens destination wedding, and she turned our vision into a dream wedding. We are from the US and didn't see any of our venues in person...but we trusted Maria's recommendations and were truly blown away!
Maria planned three flawless events for us: a beautiful sunset boat cruise, a stunning rehearsal dinner, and a surreal wedding ceremony and reception. She has connections with amazing vendors and guided us in the right direction to meet our specific needs, along with being mindful of our budget. Every detail was meticulously accounted for, and she made us feel comfortable every step of the way. She helped create an unforgettable experience and our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever attended! Maria is a true professional, and her passion showed throughout the entire process. We highly recommend working with MK Events!

MK Events (Maria and her team) did a fantastic job in planning our wedding! They made our day an unforgettable experience, which was exceptionally organized to the tiniest detail and executed smoothly and efficiently! Maria listened to our needs during the whole preparation phase, she was flexible to take up new ideas or counter-proposals, she was super responsive, she provided us with very good vendor recommendations and the result (timeline, decoration, service, etc) was absolutely stunning! All the guests had a great time, Maria stayed there the whole time and was the last one to leave the venue! We are super happy to have worked with her. It's nice to feel like a guest in your own wedding and not have to worry about anything - she and her team were there to take care of all the details. Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without her! We truly thank her and highly recommend MK Events to everyone who wants to have a wonderful, cool, and stress-free wedding! ❤️

Maria, we cannot thank you enough for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true! From start to finish, everything was perfect, and it’s all thanks to your incredible attention to detail and hard work.
The decorations were exactly what we had envisioned—each detail was carefully thought out and beautifully executed. It truly felt like our dream had come to life. On top of that, the coordination between all the vendors was flawless. Everything flowed seamlessly, and we could tell that each aspect of the day was handled with care and precision. Thanks to your dedication and professionalism, Mark and I were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our celebration without a single worry. You made our day unforgettable, and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you again for everything, Maria! — Mark & Jamie

Maria is the most amazing, caring, thorough, and knowledgeable professional my wife and I have ever worked with. Everything we discussed with her prior to the wedding was taken care of and fully implemented by Maria just as we had wanted and expected. Maria is very responsive via email, Skype, and telephone, and she is always available to discuss your needs and desires in order to ensure a smooth, stress free, and perfect wedding.

Maria is also helpful in helping you find a venue, church, stefana, clothing, dinners, gathering and filing all necessary paperwork and legal documents, etc. She gave us great advice and recommendations for our wedding photographer and videographer, as well as our private dinner cruise in Santorini to view the Oia sunset. Maria is definitely the most trustworthy and professional person we have worked with and we highly recommend her for all of your wedding needs.

Maria and her team were exceptional from the first moment of contact until the last moments of the wedding. My husband and I are from the USA so when we decided to get married in Greece, it felt a little overwhelming with not knowing where to start. I reached out to probably 10-15 wedding planners, and Maria was not only the most quick to respond, but also immediately set up a zoom appointment with us for a free consultation. In the zoom call, she listened to us, answered questions, and had a vision for us by the end of the call. We decided right then not to look any further and to go with her, and we are very happy we did.
Despite there being an 8 hour time difference between us and Greece, Maria was extremely responsive. She was well organized, she provided excellent options for locations and photographers, and the vendors she chose for food, flowers, lighting, DJ, hair/makeup, etc were all phenomenal. The day of the wedding went flawlessly- as the bride I had absolutely no stress because of the preparation and communication that Maria had provided throughout the process. We highly recommend Maria for anyone looking to marry in Greece!

Maria was phenomenal - we simply can’t say enough good things about her. She translated our vision into reality in every detail. We are based on the east coast in the US and never got to see anything in person in Greece until the day of our rehearsal dinner and somehow she had read our minds. Everything went off perfectly, no glitches, and she was on site every day to make sure we didn’t have to handle a single logistical detail. She met with us as much as we needed ahead of time and kept us organized and on track. Beautiful details. Unforgettable experience. Our guests called it the best wedding they’d ever been to. Highest recommendations for Maria.

We had the absolute best experience with Maria! She was flexible with us when we had to move our wedding twice due to Covid, so this meant dealing with us for 3 (!) years. She was always professional, flexible, communicative, and responsive, and she helped us throw the event of the SEASON. She will always be honest with you about cost, budget, and value, and truly ensures she's meeting your needs as a couple. The day of our event was Pride parade, and she managed to speak to the Chief of Police about being able to arrange our transportation for guests before the roads were completely closed off - never in my right mind would I have thought anyone could pull that off! She and her team were working behind the scenes to ensure our guests never knew there was ever a potential snafu, and as a bride I had the most relaxing, stress-free day because I knew she was handling everything. If you're thinking about having a wedding in Greece, do yourself a favor and hire Maria. She'll make your dream come true!

Maria planned our wedding in Ios, Greece and made every moment feel like a dream. From the very beginning, she was the calm, capable presence I didn’t know I needed and an incredible communicator who anticipated details before I could even think to ask.

She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran flawlessly, coordinating vendors across time zones and making sure we were cared for with genuine warmth. Every single element — the florals, the timing, and the ambiance felt effortless and perfectly aligned with our vision.
