Hotel Chapels

A number of beachside
hotels to hold your wedding in Cyprus
but many of the Paphos hotels have attractive private chapels
or outside gazebos on their grounds
where you can arrange to have either a
religious or civil wedding ceremony.
A large number of local hotels are
licensed to host civil wedding
ceremonies, and in some cases religious
ceremonies which are carried out at the
discretion of the church. Most of the
hotels have beautiful beachside gardens
in which the ceremony can take place,
and most provide special locations,
pergolas and gazebos for the actual
wedding ceremony itself.
If
you also choose to have your wedding
reception at a hotel, then each hotel
generally has a selection of attractive
indoor and outdoor locations for wedding
parties of varying sizes.

Town Halls

For your own personal reasons, a
civil ceremony may suit you best. Paphos
municipality is situated in the heart of
Paphos old town making it a 10-15 minute
drive from most hotels in Paphos,
furthermore the architectural stature of
the building is quite beautiful! This is
in addition to the pride that is taken
by the municipality for the up keep of
the town hall and surrounding gardens
making it an excellent location for
photo opportunities.
With a
Wedding in Cyprus the ceremony is read in English and
is a relatively short service lasting
approximately 8-10 minutes. However it
has to be said that this does not by any
means take away the importance of the
day.
The couple will be asked individually
to repeat the words:
"I call upon all persons here
present to witness that I (name of
Bride/Groom) accept you (name of
Bride/Groom) as my lawful spouse, to
love and to share with you from this
day, moments of joy and sorrow, wealth
and poverty, happiness and unhappiness,
throughout our life until death do
separate us."
