Initial Enquiry

To initiate the process, kindly fill out our inquiry form available on the contacts page of this website. Feel free to include as many details as you wish; it’s entirely up to you.

Upon receiving your inquiry, we’ll promptly send you an email containing information about our services, along with a link to our online questionnaire. Should you prefer discussing your requirements via phone, we’re more than happy to schedule a call at your convenience.

While completing the questionnaire, provide as much detail as possible, even if you’re still shaping your ideas. We understand that at this stage, your vision might not be fully formed, and that’s absolutely fine!

Sample Plans

Once we receive your completed questionnaire, we’ll swiftly draft several no-obligation wedding plans along with corresponding prices for your consideration.

Expect an email from us containing a variety of tailored plans, accompanied by detailed brochures highlighting the suggested venues. Our aim is always to align with your budget, ensuring practicality while crafting your ideal celebration.

Take your time to review these plans, contemplating whether they align with your vision. If you have any queries or wish to modify the plans, feel free to reach out via email or phone. This might involve several email exchanges as we fine-tune the details.

Your feedback matters significantly to us. Constructing these plans involves considerable time and effort. Hearing from you allows us to refine and tailor our services. Even if you decide not to proceed, sharing your reasons helps us improve, if applicable, enhancing our offerings for future clients.

Things to Consider

Booking a wedding abroad involves careful consideration.

For those brides who prefer firsthand experiences, we warmly welcome you to visit and explore our venues. We’re delighted to accompany you and guide you through each venue.

Timing is key: The peak wedding season spans from April to October. However, it’s worth noting that July and August bring intense heat. When booking, take into account the weather conditions and sunset times.

Typically, ceremonies occur after 2 pm or later. Considering attire is crucial; factor in the heat when selecting your wedding dress and groom’s clothing. Ensuring comfort allows you to fully relish the day without feeling overheated.

Amidst the planning, remember: the essence of getting married surpasses intricate details. Enjoying the moment is paramount!

Venue Selection

Once you’ve finalised your wedding plan, kindly inform us of your preferred venue for both the ceremony and reception.

Share your desired wedding date and time, along with an alternative date in case your first choice is unavailable.

Upon receiving your preferences, we will contact the venues to secure provisional bookings, ensuring availability. Our confirmation typically takes 24 to 48 hours. Notably, we don’t impose charges for rapid bookings, unlike some other companies.

For church weddings, we liaise with the Church Office to confirm both the ceremony and venue. In the case of a civil ceremony, we coordinate with the relevant Town Hall to book the registrar.

Our aim is to expedite this process efficiently. Often, we can provide immediate updates, and in most instances, confirm availability within two working days.

Booking

Once you give us the green light, we swiftly confirm the bookings with the selected venues, registrar, or church. To ensure seamless coordination, we’ll assemble a comprehensive confirmation pack tailored for you, sent via email.

This pack comprises a detailed letter outlining the wedding plan we’ve secured based on your provided information. Additionally, you’ll find our contract and an invoice for the deposit payment, reflecting the agreed-upon price.

Inclusive within this pack is a Final Bridal Checklist, the Wedding License Application Form, Sample Statutory Declaration Forms for your solicitor, menus for the reception venue, and pertinent church information if your wedding is religious. For added convenience, we also include details of the different payment methods.

It’s essential to keep this pack secure as you’ll reference it in the upcoming months during the planning process.

Payment

Upon receiving your confirmation pack via email, please proceed to secure your booking by submitting our non-refundable maximum 500 Euro deposit promptly. In some cases, certain venues may require a larger deposit, and we’ll notify you accordingly, this can be paid directly to the venue if you prefer.

Approximately six months before your wedding date, we anticipate a payment of 40% of the total wedding cost. This ensures a smooth planning process.

The final payment, cleared and in full, is expected no later than two weeks prior to your wedding day.

For your convenience, payments can be made via international bank transfer or through Wise.com a regulated foreign currency specialist offering competitive exchange rates.  Additionally, we accept the initial deposit payment via PayPal.

Please note, we do not currently accept credit cards due to high merchant fees, which would increase overall wedding costs. However, Wise.com accepts cards for your convenience.

Confirmation of Final Details

In the lead-up to the wedding, it’s common for brides to make adjustments to the original plan. Typically, the final guest count differs from the initial estimate.

Once you’ve finalised all the details, kindly complete our online Final Bridal Checklist at least 6 weeks before your wedding date. From this comprehensive list, we’ll calculate the final cost of your wedding. Any changes made to the plan may affect the overall price. Should the final cost exceed your expectations, we’ll collaborate with you to explore possible cost-saving measures.

This Final Bridal Checklist serves as our primary reference for placing orders with external suppliers and creating table stationery and decorations, ensuring everything aligns seamlessly with your vision.

Additionally, ensure to scan and email your legal paperwork to us six weeks before the wedding. This allows us to review and verify the documentation before your arrival.

Arrival in Cyprus

Prior to your arrival, you’ll receive information about your pre-wedding meeting date.

Upon your arrival, we’ll arrange transportation from your hotel to the Town Hall, where we’ll assist in applying for your marriage license. Subsequently, we’ll head to the reception venue to meet with the venue manager, ensuring a thorough review of wedding arrangements while confirming timings and details.

During this time, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with our photographers, Lee or James, to discuss your desired photos. If you’ve scheduled hair and makeup trials, we’ll accompany you to the salons for these appointments.

Now, it’s time for you to unwind and savour your holiday!
