Belli Momenti - Corfu Wedding Planners - Ethniki Peleka

In July 2019 we celebrated our wedding in Corfu. We were blessed with so many of our loved ones able be there with us and with amazing weather. We are lucky to have amazing family and friends, in the same way we were lucky to have good weather that day...but for all the rest: the incredible location, the impeccable organisation, the amazing flowers and music , the great food ,the relaxed and happy atmosphere with in which happened...this is not just about being lucky. Aris and the Belli Momenti team made it happen. Everything was absolutely perfect, Aris has the incredible gift to understand exactly what you want because he knows how you are. We live in Australia and our wedding was organised for most of the time through Skype meetings. But the connection with Aris and Niki was great since the first time we talk. Aris and Niki were not just organisers of our wedding but they were part of it, both with their professionalism, but also with their heart. All the collaborations that made the event great and that were suggested by Belli Momenti : from the florist Leonidas Ramos, to Chef Stefanos Laskaris, DJ Spartacos to the videographers Nikos Vlachos and Andreas Politis ,the Durrells villa team villa, the Secret kitchen crew , they were all great in their work and also delightful people. We are very grateful and incredible happy. Thank you Belli Momenti for making our dream a reality and for doing it with love . Michela & Benjamin

Aris knows very well Corfu and wedding suppliers over there. This was a very important aspect for us when we chose our wedding planner. Our wedding was very very well organized and all vendors that work with Aris are very nice and you can really trust all of them. Aris made all our special requests possible. We went in Corfu just ones before our wedding. All the details Aris took care of... We didnt try / taste the wine or any kind of food/cakes before the wedding ... But everything was really good, exactly as we expected. You can trust Aris, he will give you always the best. Our wedding was amazing and all our guests were impressed. Aris also organized our pre wedding beach party that was a big big success. On the wedding day we were really happy with no stress at all knowing everything was under control by Aris and his amazing team. To mention about Corfu is that people is in general super super nice and they really make you feel at home, from hotels, beauty centers, restaurants, we felt it everywhere. ❤️ The only thing you should be aware of when you decide to have a wedding in Corfu is that there is a lot of sound restrictions. You can't expect your wedding party go later than 2am because police can came /call anytime and you can't do nothing about that. We were expecting to be able to keep party until 3 am but unfurtunately police interfere. Of course this was not fault of Aris. He explain us this could eventually happen. Thank you so much Aris ? hope to see you agin soon ?

Aris Papachristou is more than a planner. We became friends after this magical journey of our wedding! Before we hired Aris to support our wedding planning, we did our experience with other planners in Corfu. We are so happy that we decided to change to Aris (8 weeks before our wedding!). We changed everything what the other planners offered us and started from scratch. Aris understood directly our needs and wishes and supported us to find solutions for this challenging situation. In the beginning it was not easy for us to trust our new planner after our bad experiences with others. Aris joked and told me "not to be too German" and to jump into too much details. Honestly, that was not easy for me in that moment. The own wedding is a totally new experience for a couple and sure everybody wants to have the perfect day. That's why we want to share our experiences and write this recommendation because we are 100% sure that our wedding would be not so easy and magical organised without Aris support. Everything was like we expected - even better! Trust Aris and his team - they know how to make you happy! He started his event experience as a teenager in clubs and learned what service means. In the same time he started to build his network of suppliers.He can offer you a lot of different wedding services what you may need. As a couple you have always a choise with transparent pricing. We, our family and international guests were sooo happy! Some guest described our wedding as benchmark for all weddings they ever were. My wife and me will always remember what Aris and his team did for us to make all our dreams come true. Many thanks and big hug from our side. Hope to see you soon again!

Wow wow wow! Since the day, my husband and I met Aris, we had an instant connection of trust, friendship and transparency and we knew in that moment he was our guy. Aris is full of charisma, vision and is an expert in detail when it comes to weddings. Aris is so passionate & creative and when working with him it really shines through and there is never a dull moment. In all honesty, we were not sure that our wedding was going to go ahead this year due to Covid but against all odds Aris worked with us to make it happen. Aris and his team, especially Niki put in so much hard work, connecting us with the best venues and vendors in Corfu. We are beyond happy with the service and so grateful for all of Aris & teams support to make our dream come true. Our wedding completely exceeding our expectations and words cannot even describe how magical it was. We highly recommend Aris and his team. Thank you for everything guys. love Nat and Rich xx

I always thought it was quite cliché that every couple described their wedding day as ‘the best day of their life’… ours undoubtably exceeded all expectations, and my expectation were high to begin. I had previously spoken to 2 other wedding planners and was left somewhat disheartened by how restrictive they were and keen to replicate exactly what they had done before. I had a clear vision and needed someone to bring that alive. From the moment of meeting Aris, you quickly realise that there is very little this man can’t do. Unlike other wedding planners he doesn’t want to fit you in a box (despite how much easier I’m sure that would be). He’s passionate about making every wedding individual and unique to you. He’s constantly bringing new ideas to the table to be at the forefront of his profession. I often thought about requesting something ridiculous (for fun), just to see what he would come up with; He thrives off every challenge. He made things possible that other planners had literally told me I wasn’t able to do. I believe his success partly lies part in his ability and character and part in the confidence of his extensive portfolio of tried and tested suppliers. He only works with the best because these suppliers are also a representation of him; a reputation that he’s keen to uphold. Our Florist Leonadis produced some of the most breath-taking flowers I have ever seen. Valentiny (our photographer) captured the atmosphere perfectly and my MUA Natasha was an absolute perfectionist. Aside from being the best in his profession, Aris is also a lot of fun! When I initially told my partner we had a meeting with a wedding planner, I wasn’t greeted with the enthusiasm that every bride hopes for, but within minutes they were sharing stories and drinks and it made the whole experience for the both of us. By the end of the wedding Aris was minor celebrity, loved by every single one of our guests. He gets involved in the party; but be warned, this man will eat all the canapes without a hesitation…. he quickly becomes part of the bridal party and this is what we loved the most. Your wedding isn’t just one day, its months/years of planning, late night skypes after work when you don’t look your best, it’s waiting outside government buildings hungover, signing paper work you can’t read, crashing your hire car, global pandemic tears and travelling in 30 degree heat from venue to venue; but I can honestly say that we loved every single part of it because of Belli Momenti. We trusted Aris & Nikki whole-heartly. They’re both very passionate about their job and love LOVE. It’s also worth mentioning that when people think of wedding planner they initially think of the expense. Simply due to Aris contacts and relationships we saved money in so many areas and were able to put those cost savings into making other areas more special. Don’t tell him but he’s worth at least double if not more. I can’t image he will have much availability over the next couple of years but we can not recommend him enough. You should not contact Belli Momenti if you are a control freak. Aris is a master in his profession, so you need to be able to trust in his experience that he will make your dreams come true. You should contact Belli Momenti if you can get into the Greek Mindset. This includes being relaxed, fully embracing being on holiday and appreciating that the Greeks can often operate on their own time schedule (generally within half of hour of either side) which allows you just enough time for another drink. Aris, a few words can't even begin to tell you how grateful we are. We can't wait to see you again soon. All our Love, Rob & Kelly x

tl;dr: trust in Aris. He’ll ensure your wedding experience is special for the two of you, a memorable trip to Corfu, and exceed your expectations at every opportunity. Our decision to host a destination wedding was deliberate. Traveling has been a foundation of our relationship where we both allow ourselves to grow and challenge one another. We had attended a small number of destination weddings before planning our wedding and after experiencing the closeness, intimacy, and beauty of destination weddings we knew we wanted something similar. For a destination wedding, your wedding planner (aside from one another) is the most important person. The success, schedule, decorations, food, dancing, mood, and everything else flows through your wedding planner. Recommendation #1, hire a wedding planner that you connect and enjoy spending time with. For us, that was Aris. Many, many weeks were spent researching the perfect destination. We spent many nights and weekends scrolling through social media to narrow down our options. Surprisingly, we found our wedding planner before we found our destination! Aris Papachristou, of Belli Momenti Weddings caught our eye and we immediately began researching an island we had previously not considered: Corfu, Greece! And after our initial Skype interview he was able to ease many of our concerns while building excitement around a wedding on Corfu; we knew we found our planner. Over the course of eighteen months leading up to our wedding, we got to know Aris. He is now a family member we will love for the rest of our lives. Aris worked tirelessly to organize our wedding across time zones, during a period of travel uncertainty, and busy schedules. He is so amazingly skilled at what he does. We were never able to visit Corfu in-person which required an interesting approach to tasting, venue tours, and vendor meet and greets. Aris virtually toured many sites and met with many vendors on our behalf. He provided his own recommendation while listing other thoughtful items to consider such as price points, overall quality, past experiences, etc. We weren’t entirely sure what our wedding ‘style’ would be when we first met with Aris. He helped us develop mood boards and formulate ideas that would fit us as a couple, but also brought up some items that we wouldn’t have ever dreamed of. A floral circle instead of an altar? Fantastic. Strings of lights and roses in a side of the venue for guests to take pictures? Amazing. Chandelier with flowers over the top table? Breathtaking. Trust Aris wholeheartedly. He genuinely wants the most beautiful wedding for you and your guests. He will elevate your style while ensuring it still represents the both of you. He will listen to you and your concerns. He will tell you when he believes you are making a mistake (style, vendor, or otherwise). He is flexible if you want to change details or elements. And what we came to appreciate most, on your wedding day, he will remind you that this day is all for you. He’ll make sure you don’t feel rushed, that you’ve had a moment to be with one another, that you understand a schedule is a guide and if you need additional time, he’ll make sure you get it.

Aris was recommended to us by our Corfu friends because he is THE wedding planner, with a stellar reputation. He is an expert in his craft and the island of Corfu, very detail oriented and will work with you every step of the way to understand your desires and plan your dream wedding. I highly recommend Aris and his team to plan your special day.

Aris is a brilliant wedding planner. He has the knowledge and expertise to plan amazing events and his dedication to perfection is unparalleled. Aris and his team are true professionals that work in seamless coordination to exceed everyone’s expectations. My daughter was married in Corfu in July 2021 and even though distance and the pandemic were some challenges we had to face, with Aris in charge there was no doubt that everything would work out flawlessly. Aris followed my daughter’s vision and went above and beyond to create a spectacular and memorable event. Everything was designed in the most tasteful and utterly perfect way that all our guests were thrilled about it and we’ve given the most amazing compliments. It was an absolutely magical day! I highly recommend to everyone to trust Aris. He knows the area and local vendors so well that he can overcome any obstacle and make things happen. He has chosen an amazingly professional team that guarantees success. The florist Mr Rammos, the Cake Boutique, the DJ Lakis, the catering Secret Kitchen, and the make-up artist Natasa are all first rate. The quality of their work and their creativity and imagination are exceptional. From the beginning of the planning process every one of Aris’ suggestions to us were spot on. The venues of my daughter’s wedding were the Mouse Island and Villa Ekaterini. Aris and the team dressed and transformed these venues beautifully. Beyond his organizational skills, Aris has impeccable taste and always strives to create exquisite events. He also deserves all the credit for the amazing ideas he proposed to us for all pre- and post-wedding events that included a daily cruise, beach party and welcome dinner. He coordinated many parts of these fantastic events and we couldn’t be more grateful. He is a very hard-working person but also very approachable and encouraging. If he insists on something, trust him; he truly knows better. A million thanks to Aris and Belli Momenti for my daughter’s unforgettable wedding. I really want to express my sincere gratitude for the amazing job Aris and his team did in the planning and implementation of this stunning event.
