You’ve been to a friend’s wedding in Paphos, come home with a tan and a head full of ideas, and now you’re asking what a Cyprus wedding would actually involve. Jet2holidays has just made that easier to answer. It now sells wedding packages through Perfect Weddings Abroad, covering 35 hotel locations around Paphos and Larnaca.
The packages come in three tiers. Classic covers the paperwork and marriage fees. Deluxe adds a hair stylist and a professional photographer. Ultimate throws in a three-course meal and an open bar, and there’s a dedicated coordinator on each. It’s tidy, it’s priced up front, and for plenty of couples that’s exactly what’s wanted.
But a hotel wedding is a hotel wedding. You share the grounds with sunbathers, the ceremony slot fits around breakfast service, and the backdrop is whichever terrace the hotel has spare. A private venue is a different animal. The Cupule sits out on the Cape Greco headland, between Ayia Napa and Protaras, with open sea on three sides and Konnos Bay just down the coast. Your guests stay wherever suits their budget, and the day belongs to you from first arrival to last dance.
So before you book anything, ask a few plain questions. How many guests can be seated for the meal? What’s the wet or windy weather plan, because the headland catches a breeze? What does the per-head price include, and what’s extra? And how far is it from Larnaca airport, roughly 45 minutes by road, for your older relatives after a long flight? Get those answers in writing, ideally 12 months ahead for peak-season dates.
