A Greek Orthodox ceremony in church includes the crowning (stefana) and other rites, led by the priest with the koumbaro or koumbara taking part. The reception that follows is often lively, with traditional dances.
What to plan for
- Confirm the church's requirements and the ceremony length with the priest.
- Leave travel time between the church and the reception.
- Give the band or DJ a list of traditional dances and when to play them.
