Greek weddings in Chicago are among the most joyful celebrations we film: sacred Orthodox traditions, family that fills every corner of the room, and dancing that does not stop until the band gives up. Chicago’s Greek community is one of the largest in America, and we have been honored to film its weddings from the cathedral to the reception floor.

Filming Greek Wedding Traditions

A Greek Orthodox ceremony carries moments a filmmaker must know are coming: the crowning with the stefana joined by a single ribbon, the common cup, and the Dance of Isaiah as the couple circles the altar together. At the reception, the kalamatiano and hours of Greek dancing bring every generation to the floor. We film these traditions with respect and anticipation, because the most meaningful frames come from knowing the moment before it happens.

Greek Weddings We Have Filmed

We filmed a beautiful Greek Orthodox wedding at Annunciation Cathedral with a reception at the Hilton Chicago, and Danae & Christopher’s Greek-Italian celebration at Saint James Chapel and The Drake Hotel, where sets of Greek dancing brought the Gold Coast Room to life. The films on this page show how these celebrations flow.

Greek Wedding Videography FAQ

Do you have experience filming Greek weddings?
Yes. We know the Orthodox ceremony traditions, from the stefana to the Dance of Isaiah, and we position our cameras to capture each one without intruding on the sacrament.

Do you film the full ceremony and the dancing?
Our full-day coverage runs up to 11 hours, with a long-form film available, because at a Greek wedding the best footage often comes after midnight.

Where do Greek couples celebrate in Chicago?
From Annunciation Cathedral and the city’s Orthodox churches to receptions at the Drake, the Hilton, and venues across our Chicago venue guides.
