South West Cyprus is attracting hopeful more couples every year. Why? Well Cyprus weddings tick all the right boxes. Turquoise waters and golden sands bring a very relaxed feel to the perfect for a dream wedding. These aren’t just your average Mediterranean beaches they are first class.
Many of Cyprus’ top hotels are licensed for weddings. A hotel wedding on the face of it doesn’t quite the glamour of an English Castle. You couldn’t be more wrong. Hotels have outside wedding venues amongst beautifully tended gardens and exotic plants. The venues are stunning, white pagodas set against blue skies, over looking the sea as it laps gently on the shore.
Despite the weak pound Cyprus weddings are still amongst the cheapest in Europe. Getting married abroad shouldn’t be a nerve racking experience when it comes to budgets. Cyprus wedding on average cost a third of weddings in the UK. The biggest saving being made on the reception. The standard of food in Cyprus is very high and we’ll design for the UK pallet. The most popular choice for receptions is the BBQ which would be better described as feast. The choice of food is spectacular and is beautifully presented.
