We’re really thrilled to have been appointed by Ionian Weddings, to promote the company’s range of destination weddings.
Established in 2007 by husband-and-wife team Andreas Palikiras and Jane Stuart-Palikira, Ionian Weddings organises over 250 weddings a year – including all legalities – to venues that have all been personally vetted in destinations such as Italy, Santorini, Crete, Cyprus, Portugal and Croatia. The ABTA-bonded multi-award-winning company has arranged more than 4,000 weddings overseas since it launched and was voted ‘Best Weddings & Honeymoons Operator’ at the British Travel Awards in November 2023.
Aimed primarily at 25–35-year-old couples who want a truly memorable wedding outside of the UK, 8020’s campaign will build awareness of the company’s luxury wedding expertise, from its team of highly experienced UK-based wedding planners, each with over 15 years’ experience, to new destinations and stunning wedding locations including a vineyard in Tuscany and a century-old stone windmill in Santorini.
Marc Cornelius, Founder and CEO, 8020 Communications, says: “Ionian Weddings is clearly the leader in its field for organising destination weddings, gaining excellent customer feedback at every turn thanks to its highly experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated team. We are delighted to have been appointed to drive the brand forward and raise awareness of the company’s deep-rooted expertise.”
Ionian Weddings’ Joint MD, Jane Stuart-Palikira, says: “We want to promote our destination weddings to couples who are excited by the idea of planning a unique overseas wedding and reassured that it will be handled by an experienced team of UK-based wedding planners, together with the added value that an overseas wedding brings. 8020 Communications has demonstrated a high level of creative excellence and industry intelligence, and we are looking forward to working with them to implement our strategy.”
