Looking for help . . planning to get married in cyprus

Hi all

Looking for some help and advice im new to all this.

I am planning to get married 2012 in cyprus but dont know whether to go through travel agents or use a company found online. I dont know whether I am to early to get things booked but would love to get a date set.

I also have 2 children so am looking for somewhere that children are able to go to.

I look forward to replies x x

Hiya hun, I personally would go with a planner not a travel agent but you have to do what suits you, Im using Cyprus dream weddings, which i found online, and they are amazing, other ladies on here are using other planners so have a look around, see what is best for you. Your planner will also be able to advice on good places to stay with children as well. Good Luck xx

hiya, and welcome!

We are using Marriageincyprus.com aka Aphrodite wedding planners , they are all from england and are a very nice ladies , i am using them to arrange all my paperwork and legalities, and doing the rest myself, do you know what side of the island you would like to get married?
My wedding is at the Capo Bay right on fig tree bay, Protaras it is a very family orientated area , i have 2 small boys and a few other kids coming to my wedding so this was a big thing for me too,
As far as setting a date i know travel agents will tel you a yr in advance i think a planner can get in there before ( i booked 18 months in advance) it all depends on when the municipality bring the dates out for that year, also travel agaents dont tend to tell you your time of the ceremony till you arrive in resort,

Good luck with your planning if you do go my end of the island give me a shout i have loads of numbers and contacts if you want to book services yourself xx

Thanks.

I have saw many different wedding planners online for cyprus. I just dont know how to choose what one is the best.

When is it you are getting married ??

Had a look at website there it looks great . It is Paphos that I wanted to get married ??

I wondered if anyone had visited any of the hotels and could give any reccomendations x

Hi,

We have just been over to Paphos and booked with a planner. We heard that the tour companies can be a bit expensive for the various extra's so we opted for a planner on that basis.

www.paphosweddingsmadeeasy.com speak to Cathy, they spent loads of time with us at the weekend and have kept things within our budget and we have not had to compromise anything we wanted.
I am sure they will give you some great options for 2012. Will let you know how things are going for us, we are June 2011.

hi babe - my family are staying at the Alithian holiday village when i get married - my sister, bro in law and 2 nephews - you can also get married there, The pool has a pirate ship. It is a family hotel and loads of things for kids to do.

forgot to say that the Alithian holiday village can only be booked throu First Choice holidays in the summer.
I have organised my wedding myself but alot of people have chosen the online companies - dont use a travel agent, they arent specialised in selling weddings (i used to work for Thomas Cook)
defo go throu online company - Zuchinni weddings is brill. I know a lady there and she helped me book my wedding venue - her name is Lorraine

Hiya cgmt and welcome

Firstly I would avoid travel agents and booking your wedding thru them especially like the plague!

I am using a wedding planner to assist with the legal side of things and help with suppliers etc. I am still doing stuff myself though which I like.
They are www.paphosprestigeweddings.com

The Kefalos Beach Village is brill for kids, we have a 4 yr old son and I am having my reception there at their private new theatre, www.kefalos.com.cy xx

not my side but loads of other brides to help you , good luck and congrats xx

I am also starting to plan my wedding in September in Cyprus. Hope you dont mind me asking but are the planners expensive?

Ruth at Paphos Prestige Weddings - she has been great and has recommended all our suppliers so far!! Its not a really massive expense in the scheme of things and i am sure it will be worth every penny!

Thanks. I emailed a few others I found on the net and still havent heard back. I think I'll try Ruth although i have now booked the resort, the photographer, beautician and haridresser and looking into the entertainmenet myself. Am i missing somethign??? x

Hello there, I am getting married this year at the Kefalos, the place is ideal for a wedding, I am getting married at the beach gazebo and having my wedding reception outdoors. I have seen the place it is great for kids, they cater a lot for kids as well as adults. Just visit their web-site on www.kefalos.com.cy or e-mail Elena for more information on kefalos@kefalos.com.cy. I am using Anna from Paphos wedding belles as my wedding planner, she is brilliant, you can see her web-site on http://www.paphosweddingbelles.co.uk/ and I am sure she will be able to help you booking a wedding in Cyprus in 2012.

Good luck

Hi sunflower, sound like you have done pretty much everything yourself already. im not using a planner and once you get started its not too bad. Where are you having the service hun? xx

I'm with Ruth too! FAB! xxx
