Mykonos is the most glamorous of the Greek islands and knows exactly how to throw a wedding: sunset light, world class beach clubs and resorts that do this every week.
The trade is the wind, the crowds and the price. The Meltemi can blow hard in midsummer, July and August are heaving, and Mykonos is the most expensive address in Greece.
Lead with guest count and whether you want a beach club party or a seated resort dinner. Those two choices shape everything else.
The strongest Mykonos wedding venues run from intimate design hotels such as Bill and Coo to large resorts such as Santa Marina that can stage a 300 guest gala, with beach clubs like Scorpios for couples who want a sundown party. Capacities range from around 20 to 300 guests depending on the venue. Mykonos is the priciest Greek island, so treat every figure as indicative and confirm it with the venue.
Terraces and beach clubs, ranked on merit
A spread from intimate design hotels to large resorts and beach clubs. The order reflects our honest read of the celebration, never who pays us. Capacities and prices are indicative and should be confirmed.
Kalesma, Mykonos
indicative, on requestA Relais et Chateaux hillside resort that does a polished large wedding well.
A five star Relais et Chateaux resort on a hillside in Aleomandra with views over Ornos Bay, in a restrained contemporary Cycladic style. It hosts celebrations of up to around 150 guests and is used to high net worth weddings, which makes it a confident choice for a larger, refined day.
Santa Marina, Mykonos
indicative, on requestThe all rounder, from a 300 guest gala to an intimate villa elopement.
A Luxury Collection resort on its own headland at Ornos with a private beach and a cluster of villas. It can stage a gala of up to around 300 guests or an intimate celebration in one of its villas, which gives it a flexibility few Mykonos venues match. Strong in house events team.
Bill and Coo, Mykonos
indicative, on requestIntimate, design led, and quietly one of the most romantic terraces on the island.
A boutique luxury hotel above Megali Ammos with minimalist Cycladic design and a celebrated terrace over the Aegean. It suits intimate weddings of roughly 20 to 60 guests and rewards couples who want design and dining over scale. The sunset setting is the draw, so the timeline is built around it.
Cavo Tagoo, Mykonos
indicative, on requestThe clifftop infinity pool look, with town a short hop away.
A clifftop hotel just outside Mykonos Town with infinity pools and sweeping Aegean views, in the polished modern Cycladic style the island is known for. It hosts intimate to mid size celebrations of around 30 to 80 guests, and its proximity to town makes guest logistics easy.
Scorpios, Mykonos
indicative, on requestThe bohemian beach club for a sundown ceremony that turns into a party.
A renowned beach club on the Paraga peninsula known worldwide for its sunset ritual and music. It hosts celebrations of roughly 80 to 200 guests in a relaxed, barefoot luxe register, and suits couples who want the ceremony to flow straight into a legendary night rather than a formal seated dinner.
The honest money picture
Mykonos is the most expensive island in Greece, and the venues know it. The venue or beach club fee is only part of the total, so budget for catering, drinks, production, transfers and the premium that midsummer dates carry. Treat any headline figure as indicative until the venue confirms it.
The biggest swing is the date. A September wedding can cost meaningfully less than the same day in peak August, and the wind is often kinder too. Dated to February 2026, prices move with the season, so confirm before you commit.
Marrying here, the practical notes
The Meltemi wind
Mykonos is the windiest of the Cyclades in high summer, when the Meltemi can blow for days. Ask every venue about its wind plan and where dinner moves, and consider June or September for calmer air.
Legal or symbolic
Many international couples complete the legal paperwork at home and hold a symbolic ceremony on the island. A civil marriage in Greece is possible but needs documents, translation and lead time through the local authority.
Getting guests there
Mykonos airport takes seasonal international flights, with ferries from Athens as a backup. Book early, since beds and flights are tight in peak season and prices rise sharply.
Music and curfews
Some venues and beach clubs carry noise limits, even on an island famous for its nightlife. Confirm the cut off time before you book the band, so the night ends on your terms.

Who you want on the ground
Planners who know Mykonos
The island runs on relationships and tight summer logistics. Choose a planner with standing ties to your shortlisted venues and real experience moving large international guest lists around a small, busy island.
Photographers and film
The Cycladic light at golden hour is extraordinary. Book a photographer who knows your venue and the sunset timing, and lock the slot early, since the best names are booked a year out.
Food and flowers
Greek catering is generous and the seafood is a strength, often through the venue. Local florists understand what survives the heat and wind, which matters more on Mykonos than almost anywhere.
Music and production
From a beach club DJ to a live band, Mykonos has deep talent, but the wind and noise limits shape what is possible. A good production lead plans the sound and the weather plan together.
