About · The company
One vision. Every summer since 2005.
We’re a team of specialists in international destination weddings in Greece. This is how we got here, how we work, and why we still care this much.
Chapter 1 · 2005
The beginning
Mike Vekris Wedding Entertainment started as something very simple: the personal vision of its founder, Mike Vekris. A DJ who believed that the night of a wedding deserved more than a playlist and a pair of speakers. It deserved the same care, taste and ambition as everything else a couple chooses for their day.
That belief has shaped everything since. Mike has since stepped away from the decks to lead the company full time, shaping every project behind the scenes. Since 2009 he has also been teaching the craft to the next generation of DJs, has spoken at national wedding industry conferences, and is a founding member of the Hellenic Association of Event Professionals.

The right people for the vision
It started as one person’s vision. As it grew, it needed more than one pair of hands: sound engineers, lighting designers, electricians, carpenters, welders and DJs, each chosen for a specific role in a very specific kind of wedding. Not a big company, and never a crowd.
What they share is simple to say and hard to find. They believe in teamwork. They chase perfection. They love weddings, and international ones most of all. And they never settle for average.
And we’re still growing. Even as you read these words, the team is expanding, the workshop is building something new, and next summer’s weddings are already taking shape.
Chapter 3
Specialists by choice
We made a decision early on: international destination weddings would be all we do. Not corporate events, not local parties. Weddings, for couples who travel to Greece to celebrate.
That focus is why we’re not tied to one island. We go wherever our couples need us. It’s also why we take fewer weddings every year, not more. Around forty a season, by choice.
Chapter 4
Summers and winters
Weddings aren’t our side business. They’re our only business.
Our summers belong to your celebration: ferries at dawn, setups at sunset, dance floors until sunrise. Our winters are spent preparing it. We design, test and build in our own workshop, service every piece of equipment and plan every tour. And we head back to the islands on site inspection trips, walking through venues, photographing them and measuring every side and every step, so next summer holds no surprises.
Chapter 5
How we work.
Nothing off the shelf.
The couples we work with aren’t ordinary, and neither are their weddings. We say no to cookie-cutter celebrations, ready-made playlists and easy shortcuts. Your wedding is your moment. It shouldn’t feel like anyone else’s.
Beauty in the details you’ll never notice.
Great style isn’t only what you see. It’s how every speaker is placed, how every light is rigged, how every cable disappears. We obsess over the invisible details, so that everything visible looks effortless.
Problems solved before they reach you.
After so many summers on the road, very little surprises us. Rain plans, power plans, backup plans for the backup plans. Most of the problems we solve, you’ll never hear about.
Clear, professional communication.
From the first email to the last song, every question gets a proper answer and every detail is confirmed in writing. If you’re working with a wedding planner, we coordinate directly with them. We know our role in your day, and we play it perfectly.
Chapter 6
The symbol.
Our symbol is a small diamond. It stands for the things we care about most: love, luxury, aesthetics, uniqueness and lasting value. Look closer and you’ll find the letters M and V inside it. Turn it on its side, and it becomes a play button.
The Mike Vekris identity has been recognised in international design competitions, including the Worldwide Logo Design Award (WOLDA), and included in LogoLounge.
Recognition
Awards are nice. A full dance floor at 3 a.m. is better.
Still, we’re proud that couples voted us a WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award winner five years in a row, from 2014 to 2018.
Beyond the dance floor
Quietly, and for good.
Lighter footprint
We recycle batteries, bulbs, paper and plastic from every event, run a nearly paperless office, maintain our vehicles and equipment carefully, and plan our tours to avoid unnecessary journeys.
Every Christmas
Our work puts us at the happiest moment of people’s lives, and we never forget those less fortunate. Every Christmas we support charitable causes, quietly. By choosing us, you’re part of that too.
Join the team
We’re always looking for passionate, talented professionals who share our values: DJs, technicians, lighting designers and more.
No price list. Just your wedding.
Every celebration we produce is designed from scratch, and so is every proposal. Tell us about your day, and we’ll build an offer around your venue, your vision and your scale.
