We were hoping to taxi everyone (about 20 - 25 people) by taxi from athena beach hotel to Zaffron instead of bus etc as it would be cheaper! but doesn't seem likely. Have to keep thinking - no rush yet.</p> <p>Married life treating you well?

The reason i havent gone for the meze option is cos im a real fussy eater and if im correct they only do fish and meat optioins and i eat neither. Dont like spices or weird veg either so we would be better suited to a steak house/pizzeria really.</p> <p>Im so excited about coming to cyprus, i have had a mad week and still dieting - lost 10lbs this week alone.<br /> x </p> http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=136&page#post-1362 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:18:30 +0000 Nikki 1362@http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/ <p>Hey Lou, Fat Mamma’s is really really fine! The portions sizes are ace too! Lol! We had tried to book to have my hen night meal in there but they would not let us book and when we went back later that night, they could not sit us all together, so we went somewhere else, which was also brill – forget the name tho?! Was just down the road tho. O’Neills is practically right across the road from Fat Mama’s. The area that Fat mamas is in is the area we stayed and the Elysium is just behind the main kind of street and there are restaurants and bars along the main road. I think the Harbour is livelier tho.. Although I never made it to the harbour in an evening yet so can’t give accurate comparison, am only going by what I had heard.. The night we had out hen and stag do’s collided with a footie game and the bars were more accommodating to the football fans and so it was a little bit of a let down. There was no music on and the football fans moaned when we walked to the bar as they couldn’t see their precious football! That night Alan and the boys went to Bar Street. He said the football had the same effect there. So make sure if you want to dance the night away you don’t choose a night with a big game on!</p> <p>I see Stella has the Fat Mamas direct number, I would deffo try calling her, you never know what you can sweet talk your way into!</p> <p>How ling now hun? You getting excited? Wish I was going back this year. We are looking at going back next year and is a toss up between the Elysium again or Aphrodite Hills. Anyone been to that one? Andreas the photographer recommended that one to us.</p> <p>xx </p> http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=136&page#post-1361 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:33:21 +0000 admin1 1361@http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/ <p>Hi Lou,</p> <p>Fat Mamas is great, but they wont take booking, you will have to get there early to avoid the long queues to get in. I do have Kathy's (the owners wife mobile telephone number and if you email me I can give you this), maybe if you speak to her personally she will accommodate you all. If not, How about taking them all to a local Taverna for a meze? Prices are great (€15 pp) and I can pre-book this for you.</p> <p>With regards to O'Niells, WE are partners and my brother Eric runs it,we have a live band every Friday and Saturday, great musicians, they will pay popular songs old and new and some Irish oldies. A cake can be arranged for your Uncles Birthday.</p> <p>Stella </p> http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=136&page#post-1360 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:07:21 +0000 Sam 1360@http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/ <p>hi lou definately taxi only cost around 5 cyprot pounds when i was there last yr.</p> <p>fat mammas is a must but as far as i know they dont take bookings unless stella can swing something for you.</p> <p>o'neils is across the rd from fat mamas so u could finish your night in there was always busy when i was there </p> http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=136&page#post-1359 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:47:17 +0000 louisex 1359@http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/ <p>Hi Stella,</p> <p>Have been looking for the O'neils website to check for menu's live entertainment etc. My uncle loves irish pubs and grub so think we will take him there for his birthday.

I have been on there website but really want to know how far it is from paphos harbour? walking distance or taxi? what is in the surrounding area of the place.</p> <p>Im looking for somewhere to book 27 people into for a meal the night before the wedding. Ideally where we can all sit together!! After the meal the girls will go one way and the guys the other, so ideally we want something which is near to nightlife for the evening.</p> <p>Stella, is it correct you also run/own O'neils bar? If so what nights do they do live music. It is my uncles birthday whilst were out in Cyprus and want to take him some where we can have 'pub grub' and maybe a live band etc.</p> <p>If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.</p> <p>Lou x </p> http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=135&page#post-1357 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:19:29 +0000 admin1 1357@http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/ <p>Hi Lucy,</p> <p>I just want to say the pleasure was all ours.

If it's for your wedding day then I would use the company Stella uses for transporting yourself and the guests, they were very reasonable and the cars look stunning. For normal taxis we found a really good company that we used to get us about before and after the wedding called Avanti taxis. They have an office practically opposite the Athena Beach in the car park of the Avanti Hotel. If you ask for a driver called Panyatis he will look after you! very nice man! </p> http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=52&page#post-1354 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:01:14 +0000 donna24577 1354@http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/ <p>Its only one if you know the index of it, which i didn;t as i lost my old one... </p> http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=24&page=3#post-1353 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:15:17 +0000 jenni 1353@http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/ <p>Think everyones pretty much the same with the weight loss, its finding the time to do it though..only just got into the gym, ive been going before work each morning, dont get the time afterwards. </p> <p>I decided to leave my dress quite late cos I was worried about changing my mind, but that defo wont happen now.

Photos is the one thing i would rather spend money on (as opposed to flowers or music etc given the choice) so want a lot and good ones.

I liked the idea of sunset photos initially and then thought about the cost for the few photos and decided against it, now you're making me change my mind again!</p> <p>We are getting married at the Athena Beach Hotel. I have never been to Cyprus before and a lot of people comment on how nice Coral Bay is, we just worried that there weren't enough hotels in the area for guests to choose so we opted for the safer/more choice of Paphos.</p> <p>I hope you are enjoying married life and your new job is working out well?</p> <p>Helen x </p> http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/topic.php?id=135&page#post-1343 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:22:32 +0000 Lucylu 1343@http://www.zaffronweddings.co.uk/forums/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>Just had to let you all know especially those who still have their wedding to look after about our wedding.
