Having visited Corfu on numerous occasions, I have to admit that this island in the Ionian Sea is one of the most romantic places in all of Greece. It has everything needed for a memorable vacation with that special someone, from a picturesque old town (Kerkyra) and its Venetian-style architecture to quiet beach towns like Kassiopi and Sidari where you will find luxurious Corfu villas for rent and family-owned tavernas serving pastitsada, sofrito, and tsigareli.
Thinking about getting married here? Whether you wish to have your dream ceremony right on the beach, get married in a luxurious villa with stunning sea views, or arrange your wedding at a 19th-century summer palace, there are so many fabulous wedding venues in Corfu, Greece, to choose from.

Why Choose Corfu for Your Wedding
There are many reasons why people choose to get married in Corfu. First, the scenery is spectacular! The island is packed with cute villages, hidden bays, dramatic cliffs, and beautiful vineyards. You will also find many tourist attractions in Corfu that you can explore before or after the wedding.
Also, not many people want to get married when it is cold and rainy outside. The good news is that Corfu is known for its Mediterranean climate, which means you can enjoy warm weather from March to November.
But, most importantly, Corfu is home to a wide range of wedding venues. There is everything from beachfront clubs, historic mansions, and cute garden venues to 5-star resorts, posh villas, and historical buildings. Last, but not the least important thing, is the delicious food that you will find on the island.

Luxury Wedding Venues in Corfu
Danilia Village
The first place on my list is the charming Danilia Village. It is basically a replica of a traditional Greek village that has been transformed into one of the most luxurious wedding venues on the island. Located right between Gouvia and Temploni, the village boasts cobblestone alleys, 2 gorgeous squares lined with old Venetian buildings, traditional shops, a church, and much more.
It is one of the most popular wedding venues on the island, so you should definitely book well in advance. You can ask the hosts to organize pretty much any type of wedding ceremony. I almost forgot to mention that Danilia Village was used as a filming location for a few Hollywood blockbusters such as “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3” and the James Bond movie, “For Your Eyes Only”.
Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa
If you wish to get married at an extraordinary 5-star resort in Corfu, consider staying at Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa. What makes this resort so special is its location on a hilltop.

Next on the list of the most luxurious Corfu wedding venues is the majestic Villa Sylva. Spread across 10 acres of land, the villa is located in the Kanoni area. You will be staying away from the tourist crowds, yet just a 10-minute drive from Corfu’s Old Town. Nestled on a cliff edge with panoramic sea views, the estate is specially designed for hosting wedding ceremonies.
Couples can either opt for a garden ceremony or exchange vows at one of the nearby churches (Vlacherna Monastery or the Church of Pantokrator). My favorite part of this villa is the well-maintained gardens with flowers and trees. There is also a large pool area for guests who wish to go for a swim. In terms of accommodation, Villa Sylva features 9 bedrooms and can accommodate about 20 people.
