The Person Behind Emerald
Hi, I’m Smaragda
My name means emerald in Greek — and this island has been my home and my inspiration for as long as I can remember. Emerald Events is boutique on purpose: when you work with me, you work with me, not a rotating team of coordinators.
Together with people I trust, I plan everything from quiet elopements to full destination weddings — always with the same aim: a day that fulfils your wishes and stays in your heart long after the last guest has gone home.

The Place · Santorini
A backdrop no venue could invent
There’s a reason couples cross the world for this island. Santorini gives you romance without effort — caldera sunsets, whitewashed villages, hidden coves reached only by footpath or boat, and views that make every photograph look composed.
And because it’s home, I know its quiet corners as well as its famous ones — the spots that will make your guests remember the day as vividly as you do.
