Corfu wedding date checker

Pick a date and this Corfu wedding date checker tells you, straight away, whether it is a civil-ceremony day in Central Corfu, whether the Orthodox Church usually holds weddings then, whether Saint Spyridon or a holiday fills Corfu Town, how busy the day is, when the sun sets and what the weather is usually like.

Everything is calculated on your device. Nothing you pick is stored or sent to us.

    Sources
    • Civil ceremony days: Municipality of Central Corfu, decision of 19 March 2020. North and South Corfu set their own days.
    • Orthodox Easter: computed (Meeus' Julian algorithm, plus 13 days to the Gregorian calendar). Church periods: the usual practice in Greece, as in our best month guide; practice can vary.
    • Saint Spyridon processions: Holy Metropolis of Corfu.
    • Sun times: Corfu Town, calculated with the standard NOAA solar equations, checked against the US Naval Observatory. Hills to the west make the real sunset earlier.
    • Weather: HNMS, Corfu station, 1955–2010 normals; sea temperature approximate (weather2travel, from CRU, Met Office and KNMI data).

    How the checker decides

    Civil ceremonies. Central Corfu's 2020 decision lists Thursdays, with ceremonies starting between 11:00 and 14:00, and the last Saturday of each month. A different day is possible only in exceptional cases. The decision is from 2020, so confirm the days with the town hall. North Corfu and South Corfu set their own days and places. See symbolic vs legal weddings in Corfu.

    Orthodox church weddings. The Church does not usually hold weddings during Great Lent and Holy Week, from 1 to 15 August, on 29 August and 14 September, in the days before Christmas and on 5–6 January. Easter moves every year, so the checker calculates it. Usually is the key word: ask the parish priest before you fix a date.

    Busy days. Saint Spyridon's relics are carried through Corfu Town on Palm Sunday, Holy Saturday, 11 August and the first Sunday of November, with bands and big crowds, and 12 December is his feast day. Public holidays affect which suppliers and offices work.

    Peak Saturdays. July, August and September hold only 13 Saturdays in 2027, and the popular venues and professionals go first. Weekdays are usually easier to book. See our Corfu wedding planning timeline.

    The light. For a ceremony of about half an hour, start 75 to 90 minutes before sunset. You come out as the light turns warm. Last light (the end of civil twilight) comes about half an hour after sunset. More in our sunset weddings guide.
