What is a renewal of vows?
A renewal of vows is a chance to pause and celebrate your marriage — to revisit the promises you made and reflect on everything you’ve shared since.
Many couples choose to renew their vows to mark a milestone anniversary, such as 10, 25 or even 40 years together, while others simply feel that now is the right time.
Unlike a wedding, a vow renewal ceremony is symbolic, which means there are no legal requirements and complete freedom to make it your own.

How much does it cost to renew your vows?
Renewing your vows doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive to feel special.
In fact, it’s one of the reasons so many couples choose this option with us — it allows you to have a meaningful, beautifully put-together ceremony without the pressure or cost of a full wedding.
We plan a large number of vow renewals in Kefalonia each year, and it’s something we’ve become known for. Many of the couples we work with are celebrating important milestones, and we understand how to make those moments feel relaxed, personal, and genuinely memorable.
For couples who would like something simple and beautifully organised, we offer a vow renewal ceremony package starting from £395, which includes everything you need:
-
A celebrant-led ceremony
-
A lightly personalised script
-
A decorative backdrop
-
A dressed table
-
A glass of something sparkling each
-
A commemorative folder with your vows and a certificate to sign as a keepsake
Our on-the-ground co-ordinator is also there on the day to oversee everything and ensure it all runs smoothly, so you can simply enjoy the moment.
If you’re just looking for a ceremony, that’s absolutely fine too — we’re not about hard selling or encouraging you to add things you don’t need.
At the same time, if you’re planning something a little bigger, we also organise vow renewals for larger groups and can offer full planning support to help you create a more extended celebration.
