The time for perhaps the most discussed wedding of the year has arrived. At the same time that one crisis in SYRIZA follows another, MPs are being expelled and others are vocally opposing Stefanos Kasselakis, he is preparing for the four-day wedding celebration with Tyler Macbeth, and it seems that everything is ready in Chania.
It should be noted that there will essentially be no wedding in Chania, since Kasselakis and Macbeth have already married in New York, but the couple will exchange vows. The wedding celebration will include a comprehensive program of festivities that the president of SYRIZA has prepared with his partner for their guests.
SYRIZA has requested that all media respect Stefanos Kasselakis’ personal and family moments in Crete.

Stefanos Kasselakis – Tyler Macbeth: What will happen during their 4-day wedding celebration
The special and particularly carefully planned events will begin today, Wednesday, August 28, and will conclude on Saturday, August 31.
Live News revealed the details of the wedding that will take place on Friday in the birthplace of the president of SYRIZA. Today, Mr. Kasselakis’ family is expected to arrive on the island.
The events will kick off today, Wednesday, August 28, on a wonderful terrace, that of Pallas, overlooking the Venetian harbor lighthouse with mesmerizing sunsets in the background.
At 7 PM, just before sunset, the families of the couple will dine while enjoying the view and savoring Mediterranean cuisine. At 10 PM the same evening, there will be a party at the bar “Synagogue,” the historic hangout in the heart of the old town.
The owner, Marina Manolaraki, said: “Many people arrange their wedding parties or pre-wedding parties here. We have hosted a lot of guests.”
The bar resembles a Venetian setting, and as dusk falls, lanterns light up, creating a particularly romantic atmosphere.
Mariana, the bartender at the “Synagogue,” prepares her cocktail specialty for the pre-wedding parties in front of the camera. “For two people we would like to wish well, I would make them a drag me down, based on vodka,” she said.
On Wednesday evening, one of the city’s oldest DJs will play music. On Thursday morning, a free program will be in place, and guests will be able to explore the city of Chania.
When will Stefanos and Tyler exchange their vows
As dusk falls, everyone will gather at the “Kambos” estate, in a lush green landscape with minimalist decor and white rotundas.
On August 30, Stefanos and Tyler will exchange vows of love, with the invitation revealing that blue and white hydrangeas will dominate the decorations, with Mr. Marinakis revealing all the details of the ceremony on the program. “It will take place on the 30th, Friday. It will be at 5 PM, with around 130 guests,” he states.
This will be at the Botanical Garden of Crete, a terrestrial paradise in the Fournés area, featuring many varieties of plants and trees, lakes, ducks, and beautiful paths through nature. According to exclusive information, Tyler Macbeth has chosen this very spot to exchange eternal vows of faith and love with the president of SYRIZA.
“We are at the amphitheater of the botanical garden, which has a capacity of 150 people. It will be used for the exchange of vows. The couple will be here, and the guests will sit on the steps opposite,” describes the owner.

The reception and the gift for the guests
The continuation will take place at the garden restaurant, with the organizers working feverishly to ensure everything is ready for Friday. Live News even got a taste of the delicacies that will be offered, featuring flavors and aromas of the land.
Guests will not leave empty-handed, as they will be given a bag filled with local products, such as honey and Cretan oil flavored with orange. “We will give three different honeys, one oil, and a small jug related to the ceramics that have been around since the Minoan period,” said Mr. Marinakis.
According to information, the ceremony is expected to conclude by 7:30 PM. Afterwards, guests will travel a distance of 40 minutes to reach Casa Skordilli, the most beautiful villa in Chania, according to locals.
In this lush garden, in front of the impressive 140 square meter pool, overlooking the sea and Souda Bay, the wedding reception will take place.
The farewell party
On Saturday, the farewell party will be held at one of the best beaches on the island, at the gigantic beach bar, Cabana Mare. Comfortable loungers, sandy beach, and refreshing cocktails await the friends of the newlyweds, with the images truly being stunning.
Impressively, five-star hotels have been suggested to guests for their stay, which include suites, jacuzzis, massage services, and Olympic-sized pools.
The strict security measures
Stefanos Kasselakis and Tyler Macbeth do not wish for cameras to be present to cover their wedding.
For this reason, there will be a heavy police presence beyond the 25 people who will make up the couple’s president’s and their guests’ security detail.
According to information from Flashnews.gr, a counter-drone system will be activated so that no drone can fly and record video from above within close proximity.
Additionally, guests’ mobile phones will be removed, as well as those of the employees of the catering and entertainment businesses that Mr. Kasselakis and his husband will attend with their guests.
