San Stefano Estate has been hosting celebrations since 1782. Today couples take the whole estate for weddings of up to 120 guests, from March to November, with the infinity pool, the citrus groves and the balcony above the sea as the setting.
The ceremony
Symbolic ceremonies can be held on the estate, among the orange and lemon trees, by the pool or on the balcony. Civil ceremonies are arranged on Corfu, and Orthodox ceremonies in nearby churches, with the celebration following at the house.
The evening
The balcony faces east, so as the sun sets behind the house the sky and the sea turn gold and pink and the mountains of Epirus glow across the water. Dinner is at long tables by the pool or under the trees, followed by dancing by the pool under the stars.
Ways to celebrate
- The wedding day: exclusive use of the estate for the ceremony and reception
- A two- or three-day celebration: welcome drinks or a rehearsal dinner, the wedding, and a long brunch by the pool
- Wedding and stay: five to seven nights in the house, with the wedding included
Where guests stay
The house sleeps up to twelve, so the couple and close family stay on the estate. The family’s converted olive press in Benitses has more rooms, and we can arrange accommodation nearby for everyone else.
Planning and pricing
Every wedding is priced to its size, dates and options. Our wedding planner builds a custom quote and can arrange catering, flowers, music, photography and transport. Request the brochure to start.
