Our simple ceremony.
Our wedding will begin on July 26th at 6:00pm.
Won’t you join us?
Location
Our ceremony will take place at Kambones, a property near the small village of Mili, about a 15 minute drive from the Port of Naxos. Kambones was built in 1615 - originally a greek farmhouse run by women - its history and majesty can be felt as you walk along the stone cobbles, and run your fingers among the rough walls of the interior. The property has been painstakingly restored, and everywhere you look, your eyes are met beauty. Tansy first spent a transformative summer here alone in 2023. She made friends with the birds, danced on the roof at sunset, lived only by candlelight and found the source of peace and creativity within herself. She wanted to share this special magic with Mark, so they returned again last summer. Mark found similar enchantment with the place, writing for hours every day in creative flow, looking out over the mountains, falling in love with stillness. They bathed in the sun and swam in hidden coves nearby. Tansy and Mark were welcomed so warmly by the family that restored Kambones, dining together amongst the olive trees, hiking trails together, all the while falling deeper in love. It is difficult to put into words, all that this place holds. You simply must come and feel it for yourself. We can think of no greater place to gather together, in love and community, then in this perfect slice of paradise.
The beauty doesn’t begin and end with our little stone home. Naxos is a breathtaking island known for its white granite sand beaches, mountainous interior and many happy villages. The town is filled with vibrant restaurants and shops. We know you’ll enjoy your time here. We hope you can find the same peace and contemplative frequency. We hope the sea stirs your heart and that you discover new expansion within of yourself. There is something about this place that touches the soul, and trust it will touch yours as it has ours.
