Thank you for sharing all your details with us fantazmic, your wedding sounds so lovely. I have also booked at Capo Bay for next year through Aphrodite Wedding services so it really helps to know that they made your day so special.

Congratulations on your wedding day

Hi,im booking my wedding for may 2009 i know its way off yet but i like to plan ahead,my problem is im on a strict budget,hence getting wed abroad i thought it would be a lot cheaper,but now it seems half the family want to go and i so cant afford an expensive reception,im wondering if me and all my guests were at the hotel and all inc would we have to pay for a reception as we had really all ready paid for our food,my friend didnt in cuba but thats a different country dont know if they do the same in cyprus,or can they just arrange a few sandwiches for every1,just wondering if any1 has any info.

By the way havent decided where to get wed yet want to do it in ayia napa on hotel grounds but cant decide which 1.

If any1 has any ideas please help im having nightmares about been sat at empty tables with no food lol just the cake :?

Just for the record, a friend's daughter recently got married in Jamaica and they had to pay for the reception, including drinks, even though they were all AI.

Hi
I have booked my wedding for June next year at St Helenas church Larnaca.As I am a Cyprus virgin I am a bit wary of what to expect!Everyone seems to be going for Ayia Napa etc and Im worried about what kind of choice i will have for hair / makeup etc.
Also does anyone know what photographers Thomas cook use in that area and would I be better off organising my own.
I will be staying at Louis Princess hotel.....is it in the middle of nowhere??

Advice from anyone would be great.XX :?

Hi Marlabear

I don't know St Helanas Church so I can't help you there. The Hotel should have a resident air / Makeup Salon within the hotel they all seem to be all 5 * around that beautiful stretch of coastline, your hotel is right next door the the Palm Beach & I have been inside that hotel & it's stunning.

There is plenty of Restaurants & bars around that area & also you are about 5 Km from Larnaca

I hope this helps

We married at the Grecian Park, Protaras in October 04, I found this website very helpful.

Like you I went out to Cyprus virgin, not known what to expect. The co-ordinator was very helpful, but as we were there a week before we married I had a good look around the resort and instead of paying 'expensive' hotel hair and make-up prices I went to a salon near by and had the full works for half the price.

I don't know Lanarca at all but I'm sure with all the weddings they have there, there will be salons nearby.

Good tip - make a list of what kind of photo's you want i.e. bride/bridesmaids etc ... and remember they take as many photo's as you want as you receive all the negatives so if I was you (which I wish I done) had some natural ones i.e. chatting amongst friends etc

Hi Ingrid

I did not see any hair Salons around but having said that I was not looking for them & I am sure there are many, I just mean't if she was stuck then the Hotel would have one in place. Again she is about 5 km's from Larnaca so it would not be a problem popping in & asking if they do call outs which am sure they do

Well 3 weeks to go until my friends wedding in Golden Coast hotel, Perenera.

May I ask what people are giving as favours (if any?) we were thinking of mini fans for the ladies (wedding is at 12noon!!) can these be bought locally cheap enough?

Havn't got a clue for the men (preferably not chocolate or alcoholic) - any ideas?

also anyone got married at the Golden Coast hotel lately or been to a wedding there?

Thanks :D

Hi,

My fiancee and i are looking to book our wedding in Cyprus either late 2008 or early 2009.

We are looking for a small venue ideally inside a hotel complex as we only have a small number of guests ie 15-20.

We dont really have a strict budget at present and are looking for a smaller hotel with a more intimate feel.

I like the look of the grecian park hotel at the minute as the panoramic deck for the "i do's" and the cliff bar for a small reception/meal afterwards seem to fit the bill !

Can anyone recommend any other venues and also independant wedding planners as we are not to keen on using one of the package holiday companies.

Thanks In Advance

Hi Moonflow,

Cyprus isn't really renowned for rip of merchants, most wedding companies out here are professional and pride themselves on the level of commitment they give to each and every wedding.

If you want to communicate over the phone and via email with your chosen wedding coordinator, this shouldn't be a problem either.

There are only a few hotels that will allow non residents to use their wedding venues, please PM me you email address for a list of these hotels along with their usage fee (and pictures if required).

If you require additional information, just give me a shout

Not really anything I've looked at or into myself but there are several "wedding arranging" companies in Cyprus that could help.

I can't vouch for them but I remember seeing this one (probably driving past)

http://www.marriageincyprus.com/

and this one rings a bell

http://www.weddingcyprus.org/

if you google "wedding in cyprus" you will get a lot of help from hotels, travel agents and wedding companies.
