Special Celebrations & Ceremonies
Marking Life's Important Moments
Life is filled with milestones worth celebrating. Beyond weddings and vow renewals, there are countless meaningful transitions and achievements that deserve recognition through thoughtful, personalized ceremonies.
Whether you're welcoming a new family member, marking a significant birthday, celebrating a graduation, or honoring a retirement, I'm here to help create a ceremony that captures the significance of the moment and creates lasting memories for everyone involved
Naming Ceremonies
A naming ceremony is a beautiful way to welcome a child into your family and the wider community. It's the perfect alternative to a traditional christening, focusing on celebrating your child's unique personality and the values you hope to instill as they grow.
Naming ceremonies can also be meaningful for many other life transitions:
-
Welcoming an adopted child into your family
-
Celebrating a person who is transgender and changing their name
-
Supporting someone who is coming out
-
Recognizing a return to a birth name after divorce
Your naming ceremony can include readings, promises from parents and guardians, roles for siblings, and the appointment of mentors or guideparents who commit to supporting your child throughout their life.

If you're planning any type of celebration while in Greece, I can create a ceremony that adds depth and meaning to the occasion:

Your Celebration, Your Way
Every ceremony is custom-created to reflect the unique personalities, values, and wishes of those involved. I'll work closely with you to understand what makes this milestone significant and how you'd like to mark it, then craft a ceremony that brings your vision to life.

Special celebration ceremonies start from €300, with the exact price depending on the complexity of the ceremony, location, and any special elements you'd like to include.
From My Heart to Yours
A Ceremony That Truly Reflected Us
We feel so lucky to have had Roussa as our wedding celebrant. From our very first meeting, she made us feel completely at ease and took the time to truly get to know us as a couple. She paid such close attention to the little details — things we mentioned in passing that she later wove beautifully into our ceremony, making it feel deeply personal and meaningful.
On the day itself, Roussa was calm, warm, and genuine. She created an atmosphere that was both intimate and joyful, and so many of our guests commented on how special and heartfelt the ceremony was. It reflected us perfectly, and that’s entirely thanks to her thoughtful approach and incredible way with words.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant and would recommend Roussa to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making your day unique and memorable.
The Perfect Celebrant for Your Zakynthos Wedding
If you’re getting married in Zakynthos and looking for the perfect officiant - look no further. Seriously, stop scrolling. You’ve just found her. *Roussa* is everything we could’ve wished for and more.
From the very first FaceTime, I felt it. That calm, kind energy. She didn’t just ask surface questions - she really wanted to know _us_ as a couple. What makes us laugh, what makes us cry, what makes our love _ours_. And then she used all of that to create the most beautiful, personal, and emotional ceremony script. It was so us, it felt like she had known us for years.
She handled every tiny change we asked for with grace and speed - faster than I made up my mind about the wedding shoes (and trust me, that took a while). I felt completely safe with her, like I could relax and just enjoy the moment. And that trust? Totally worth it.
The ceremony itself was more than I ever dreamed. Her words touched me deeply - and our guests, too. People laughed, cried, and some did both at once (which makes for very entertaining photos). She even matched her outfit to our wedding vibe - can we talk about that level of attention to detail?!
Roussa also led us through a traditional Greek ceremony, and she made it feel meaningful and smooth, even for us non-Greek speakers. She let us keep the beautiful headpieces, the scripture, and gave us custom vow booklets that we’ll treasure forever. Oh - and she brought a little turtle souvenir for our son. Who even thinks of that?! *Roussa does*. Because she’s not only thoughtful - she’s truly sweet.
Honestly, if I lived on that gorgeous island (which, like her, is absolutely stunning), I’d meet up with her for coffee every week. That’s the kind of person she is - the kind you want in your life, long after the “I do’s” are done.
Forever grateful.
A Celebrant — and a Friend for Life
Roussa is truly amazing and we feel so lucky to have had her as our celebrant. In fact, our wedding was Roussa’s first official time officiating a wedding ceremony and what a gift she was! The attention to detail and the way she crafted our story into such lovely and witty words was remarkable indeed. Roussa took so much time into getting to know us and we genuinely feel that we have made a friend forever. Thank you so much for your wonderful work and making our day so special and memorable. You truly are the best!
