The Setting and Location

The proposal takes place in front of Prophet Ilias Church or Saint Markus Church, both perched close to Imerovigli Village, between Fira and Oia. These are small, charming public chapels with the classic white and ivory façades Santorini lovers adore. They’re widely regarded as some of the most photogenic spots on the island, thanks to their peaceful atmosphere and sweeping caldera views.

Many reviews note that these locations feel almost like a private corner of paradise. One reviewer mentioned, “The setup was in a quiet spot, with a stunning view — it felt like we had the whole caldera to ourselves,” which highlights how accessible yet exclusive it feels. The panoramic vistas of the blue sea, volcanic islands, and sunset are some of the world’s most iconic.

The Proposal Setup

The candles and petals add a warm glow as the sun begins to set, often making it the perfect time for a proposal. One guest commented, “The setup was so romantic, and the candles made everything feel magical.” The optional music speaker can add a personal touch, whether it’s your song or something that sets the mood.

Photography and Keepsakes

Included in the package are 20 professional-quality photos and one video of the proposal moment, shot from an iPhone. Guests have appreciated the quality, with one saying, “The photos captured the emotion perfectly, and the video is a treasured keepsake.” Having a professional capturing these intimate moments ensures you can focus on each other while still getting stunning images.

Remember, the photos and video are taken from the iPhone, so the quality might differ from professional cameras, but reviews suggest the results are more than enough to relive the moment. You’ll get a snapshot of your big yes with the Caldera as a breathtaking backdrop.
