The Ceremony

Paphos is the perfect location for Weddings in Cyprus.  You can choose to have either a civil wedding ceremony conducted by one of the Town Hall Registrars, or alternatively a Catholic or Anglican Church ceremony - Catholic couples must also have a civil ceremony as a legal requirement. Religious ceremonies can be held at one of the two churches in the area, or at selected non church locations the discretion of the church.


All weddings in Cyprus ceremonies are conducted in English. Civil ceremonies can be carried out in a wide selection of locations in addition to the Town Halls, these include hotels, restaurants, yachts, museums, private villas etc.

The location of the ceremony venue will dictate which Town Hall Registrar is permitted to conduct the civil ceremony.
