Wedding Venues

In Cyprus, you have the choice of celebrating your special day in many ways. Whether it is a civil or religious ceremony (Anglican or Catholic) or even a

renewal of vows, there are many wonderful ceremony locations from traditional town halls to historic chapels…. or even a beautiful service on the

beach.

If you would like to celebrate a religious ceremony, then please bear in mind that at least one of you has to have been baptised, and you will be required to

attend a meeting with the priest prior to the wedding.

Restating your love and commitment to each other with a service to renew

your vows is something more and more couples are choosing to do. Whether it is for a special anniversary, or just simply to express their love to each other,

there is no better place to do this, than with the warmth of the sun shining down on your assembled guests. A renewal of vows service can be celebrated

either through a religious ceremony (Anglican only), or a non-religious ceremony conducted by a Celebrant.

All fees listed below are subject to your wedding reception being held at the

Garden of Eden

FOR ANGLICAN WEDDINGS/BLESSINGS – A copy of the certificate of

baptism and name and address of local Parish Priest.

CATHOLIC WEDDINGS - In addition to the legal documents above, the bride

and groom will also need to take their baptism certificate. The couple will have to complete, amongst other things, a pre marriage course at home which

should have started at least 6 months before the wedding. Also, please note, that a catholic wedding service must be preceded by a civil wedding in order to be legally recognised.

Your Wedding Co-ordinator will explain all the legal procedures at your first

meeting, and will make the necessary appointments for you to register for and obtain the special licenses that authorises your wedding to take place during

your stay, whether you are having a Civil or Religious ceremony. However, you have probably got all kinds of questions, so we have tried to make things as

simple and seamless as possible by putting together some frequently asked questions for you…

competitive prices for those extra special touches that will make all the difference to your Wedding Day: the wedding cake, flowers, photographer, and

Let us add the Special Touches to your wedding to turn your special day into one you and your guests will never forget...

Wedding Photography

Your wedding photography will be one of the most important things you choose for your special day. Your beautiful flowers will eventually fade, your

tasty wedding cake will be eaten, but your photos will last for ever.... The same can be said for a DVD of your wedding ceremony, perfect for those loved

ones who could not make your wedding and it is amazing to look back at in years to come. Plus there will be many things that the couple do not notice or

remember about their day as they were so nervous and excited! When it comes to photographs of your big day we know that these will be

memories you will cherish forever. We have a fantastic team of photographers in Cyprus who we have worked with for many years. We have seen couples

moved to tears and speechless when they see their wedding photos for the

first time. You will never have a second chance to re-capture those precious moments...

Our professional photographers will greet you at your wedding venue, and be with you during and after the ceremony ensuring that they capture the best

shots possible. Location photography is also an option, if you would like to have some photos taken in a special place such as Cape Greko, or by the love

tree…..

Flowers and Decorations

Flowers - no wedding is complete without them. From rose petals scattered by

a flower girl, to the beautiful bridal bouquet. If you are not sure what flowers you would like, we will give you practical advice and inspire you to choose

flowers that suit your style. If you have a specific flower or idea in mind, it is

best to let us know at least 2 weeks before you arrive, as we will need to check the flower you requested is available at that time of year and also give

our florists sufficient time to order for your wedding. If you have pictures of wedding flowers that you like, it is a great idea to send them to us, so we have

an idea of what you have in mind. If you are not sure what flowers you would like, contact us for ideas or, if you prefer, you can wait until you arrive in

Cyprus and discuss with your Wedding Coordinator, who can advise you what flowers are available. We can arrange an extensive range of bridal and

bridesmaids bouquets as well as other ideas for all of the wedding party, including:

• Buttonholes for the groom, best man, father of the bride, page boys

and male guests • Corsages for female guests

Hair and Beauty

Every bride wants to look perfect on her wedding day, and we believe it is best

to get your wedding hair and make-up done by a professional. With all the

other things you have to think about on your special day, the job of making you look your most beautiful is well worth being delegated to an experienced

wedding stylist.

Page 15: Weddings brochure 2016...Full original copies of A4 birth certificates with both parent’s name Certificate of freedom to marry, or Certificate of No Impediment if you are resident

15

Professionally applied make-up will help complete the look you spent so long

putting together. Experienced make-up artists and hair stylists, with a professional photographer, can produce amazing results in your wedding

photographs.

Hair can be adversely affected by the very high humidity in Cyprus, a professional hair stylist will ensure your wedding hair will stay in place all day

and will advise you of the best styles for your hair type and dress, whilst of course, taking your choices into consideration.

Our stylists can meet you for a consultation before your wedding, to discuss in full all your ideas and requirements, you can bring pictures of styles that you

like if you want to, but our stylists will show you photos of their work so you can see the excellent standard and also get some ideas to help you choose

your look for the day. We normally say it is not necessary to have a trial, as our stylists will not leave until you are 100% happy with the results on the

day, but if you would prefer to have a trial, that can be arranged for you, for a small fee, to put your mind at rest.

Our stylists will come to your room on your wedding day, so you can relax, in the cool air conditioning and begin your wedding day preparations, perhaps

with a bottle of bubbly! The bride and bridal party being pampered together is

a great way to start your day and will give you a chance to spend some quality time together before the wedding. It is a perfect way to settle nerves whilst

you unwind in the experienced hands of a dedicated team.

Wedding Cakes

A spectacular wedding cake truly is the cherry on top of your special day.

Choose from traditional and classic to contemporary and modern, styles that really will be the icing on the cake! Our standard wedding cakes come in

different flavours including flavoured sponges, chocolate brownie and fruit cake. They are all finished with white icing, so they look like a traditional

wedding cake. As an alternative why not serve beautifully designed cupcakes choosing varied flavours and decoration for each cupcake? Choose from simple

designs, to elaborate multi-tiered masterpieces, from a custom-made cake to a tower of profiteroles. If you have a design in mind, please send us a picture

and we will be pleased to give you a quote. Whatever your preference, wedding cakes can be contemporary and elegant,

minimalistic and modern and can complement your colour scheme and theme of your wedding, ensuring you have the perfect cake for your perfect day.

which we hope will help you in your plans to marry in Cyprus. If you do not find the answer to any questions you may have, please contact

us at the Makronisos Holiday Village and we will be more than happy to help you!

no minimum notice, as long as holiday dates and wedding dates are available (with the exception of Catholic ceremonies where at least six months’ notice would be

advisable due to the Catholic paperwork required).

What paperwork do we need to arrange? There are a number of documents that you will need to take with you in order to get

married in Cyprus, please see our list of documents required, but do not hesitate to contact us to clarify any parts you are unsure of. Once you have booked your wedding with us we will send you information on what paperwork you will need and we also

Subject to availability the hotel may make a separate room available for the bride or groom to change into their wedding outfit. There may be an additional charge for this

facility and it cannot be guaranteed, especially during peak season.

What signature does the bride sign in on the marriage certificate? When signing the marriage certificate the bride should sign in her maiden name.

Can we get an extra copy of our marriage certificate? A Certified Copy of your marriage certificate can be arranged for an additional cost of approx €15 and will need to be ordered before the ceremony. We

strongly recommend this, particularly for brides planning to change their surname, as they will need to send off their marriage license to make the name changes and photocopies are never accepted. You can order as many certified copies as you need.

What happens when we arrive at the Makronisos Holiday Village? The first thing that happens is a meeting with your personal Wedding Coordinator, the date and time of which you will find in a Welcome Letter, which will be handed to you

on arrival to the hotel. During your first meeting, your Wedding Coordinator will discuss all aspects of your

Wedding with you and answer any questions you may have. She will then be with you

throughout your wedding plans, the big day itself and will be on hand right up until the time you leave Cyprus.

If we book for next year, will you still be able to give us the correct

prices? Most wedding venues will have their prices ready for the following year, this also

applies to our suppliers (florists, photographers etc). We will always endeavour to give you the most up to date prices, but cannot guarantee that certain prices will not change between booking and arriving in resort, of course, if we are advised of any

changes we will let you know. All prices quoted on this website are approximate and correct at the time of publication.

If you have any questions that are not listed above, please do not

hesitate to contact us!
