When looking for an affordable wedding destination, most people don’t want to compromise on quality or the weather. If you are working to a budget, then consider North Cyprus. With its warm Mediterranean climate, it is a romantic and idyllic year-round option, and we have, on average, 360 days of sunshine a year. Cyprus is the island of love. In the myth of Aphrodite’s birth, the beautiful Goddess of love emerges naked from the water around Cyprus.
What type of ceremony do you want?
Many couples choose to be legally married in their home country before coming to Cyprus to have their wedding. This reduces their costs and stress levels because they know that when they come to Cyprus, they can have the ceremony they want.
- When you have a celebrant-led ceremony, you decide how you would like your ceremony.
