About
MEET FOTINI – FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
I'm Fotini Gkiniou, the heart and hands behind Live the Dream.
With a background in hospitality, international business, and a lifelong love for creating meaningful experiences, I founded this company in 2022 in Santorini — a place that taught me how powerful and intimate destination celebrations can be.
Since then, Live the Dream has evolved into a destination event and creative consulting brand serving couples, agencies, and wedding professionals across Greece and internationally. But what hasn't changed is my belief in personal connection, thoughtful design, and calm leadership — especially in moments that matter most.
As a planner, I bring vision and clarity.
As a coach, I offer honest, empowering support.
And as a coordinator for international agencies, I become your trusted presence on the ground — committed to excellence, discretion, and smooth execution.
More than a business, Live the Dream is my second child. It’s built on intuition, trust, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to service — with style.
Live the Dream is a luxury destination event planning and creative consulting brand based in Greece and working worldwide. The company has grown into a trusted partner for couples, international agencies, and wedding professionals seeking refined events, expert support, and seamless execution.
We specialize in bespoke wedding and event planning, coaching for wedding professionals, and on-site coordination services across Greece and beyond. Whether you're a couple dreaming of your perfect destination celebration, or a professional seeking clarity, systems, and expert representation — you're in the right place.
We don’t just plan.
We design experiences, elevate creative businesses, and bring global visions to life — always with elegance, intention, and professionalism.
Ready to plan, grow, or collaborate?
Let’s connect — we’d love to hear your story.
Get in touch with Fotini and the team today, and let’s create something beautifully organized together.
