Hi Lindsey





I think you need to decide which side of the Island you want the ceremony, also would you like to explore while your here as well. Most Wedding couples want a nice hotel, nice beaches to relax and chill out after the wedding others like to explore or go on a trip to Egypt.





All Hotels on the Island are superb, refurbished every year, a good percentage you can get good deals on the Internet or Tour Brochures but others like the 5* will still retain their high price. Limassoll area are slightly cheaper in comparsion with Paphos, the beaches are hotel owned, I think I am safe in saying that nit sure if there are any others but Leica will probably assist. Ayia Napa and Protaras have fantastic beaches and are the best on the Island. Paphos has 2 good beach area%26#39;s but has an abundance of history within the area and it is in easy access to other area%26#39;s as well.





Choice is yours, as they say

Hi Lindsey,





I have never been married myself but I know quite a few things but only in Paphos...





There are many hotels that allow people to marry onsite and they are:





(In my opinion, the most beautiful hotels)



1) Amathus Hotel



2) Almyra Hotel



3) Elysium Hotel



4) Annabelle Hotel



5) Coral Bay Hotel





and



6) Azia Resort and Spa hotel



7) Royal Athena hotel and Athena Beach hotel (same brand)



8) Imperial Beach Hotel



9) Hotels under the Riu brand



10) Venus Beach hotel



11) Laura Hotel



12) and many others...



11) Laura hotel





You do not necessarily have to marry in hotels. There are town halls which are beautiful because of the traditional Cypriot interior design inside them and the Cypriot exterior architectural design outside so the buildings stand out. There are areas outside the Yeroskipou town hall where you can arrive, do the ceremoney, sign the registry and then do your after wedding photographs.



At the Paphos Town Hall, you can do the same as above. There is a park next to the hall so the whole place is really nice.



There is also the Peyia Town Hall/Parish. The Parish is lovely with gardens all around. Really pretty.





You will find that you don%26#39;t have to fork out for a reception at a hotel unless you really want to. There are lovely restaurants and tavernas in the town and in the countryside in villages where you can hold your reception. They should be happy to allow the restaurants to be decked out in balloons, decorations, ribbons, confetti and flowers etc etc.





You can also marry on yachts at the harbour. You need to get a marriage licence and pay for an officer to marry you and your fiance on the boat. You can also hold the reception on the boat afterwards while it cruises along the seaside.





I have a bride. She is getting married at the ampitheatre in Paphos. That%26#39;s another option!





I am sure that someone else will come forth with marriages in other towns!



Good luck with your research.

Hi,





Thanks for your quick replys. I notice alot of people on here want to get married in Cyprus.





We are going to book with a travel agency, Thomson etc. So we get the full package. Not that i%26#39;m lazy to do it myself, is that i%26#39;m not confident in myself to get it right if i went out %26amp; about and did it all independently.





What we%26#39;re looking for:





A very cozy quiet hotel, with private beach if possiable. We%26#39;re not really into exporeling rather relax %26amp; soak up the sun., so not sure which part of the island is best.



Want somewhere of which we could have the cermony on site, Not sure of reception just yet has there are not really many of us going, maybe a meal somewhere?



has we%26#39;re having a private party went we get back, for everyone to be there.





Any recommendation which can relate to the above?





Thanks everyone for your replys.. I%26#39;m obviusly new to this %26amp; only me and my partner is sorting it, so want to do full research first. :)

Hi





I am probably speaking for many people here... I urge you to re-consider booking a Thomas Cook wedding co-ordinator. If you read/scroll through previous forums about them, you will see that many brides have complained about their lack of communication, taking weeks to reply back to a single email and lastly, the brides/grooms find out where they are getting married, the time they%26#39;re getting married and where the reception is!!



I highly recommend that you book a private wedding planner. Yes, they cost more but this reflects their level of service and I emphasise this point; they are excellent at communicating via emails/phone calls and organising wedding the way you want it to be. No doubt about that.





I cannot say which place is the best in Cyprus to hold a wedding. Paphos is the best for Sunset photography because evidently that is where the sun set!!!! (pardon the pun.) Both Ayia Napa and Paphos are very popular wedding places definitely. Nicosia and Larnaca the least. A.N and Paphos are lovely beach towns and there are plenty of seaside restaurnants/taverns for you to choose from.





If you are in Cyprus, you may would like to consider having your reception at a taverna for that %26#39;authentic%26#39; feel.



For any ideas or information, there is no harm in contacting a private wedding planner. He/she should be able to help you or advise you.





Leah :)
