    I will probably be in cyprus then too. i have just put an approximate wedding date as we havent confirmed date etc yet with the hotel. are you booking through a wedding company so you have a package deal or are you doing everything yourself? if you are using a package who is it you are using?

    I haven't and I'm not getting married abroad but I attended my bil2b's wedding in Portugal last September and was really involved with the planning. The couple were so nervous about it at first but once they found the venue they wanted everything seemed to be so easy for them. They had a wedding co-ordinator as part of the package and they were in contact a lot! The brides sister lived out in Portugal and everyone thought it would really help, she could go to the venue if any problems came up and she'd be able to speak Portuguese etc but she wasn't needed once, everything went so well and run smoothly and the actual day was AMAZING I have never been to such a beautiful wedding, it was perfect, the venue was incredible, the staff were so lovely and it was half the price of my wedding! grrrrrrr lol. Good luck!! But I'm sure you don't need it :-) It will be easy once you start

    i found speaking to a planner was really easy they let you know the process i must admit now the dates and venues are sorted there isnt much else for me to do until nearer the time then you can confirm numbers menus exactly what you want with options or flower choices colours etc so far it all seems pretty simple i have been given an idea of the package i'm looking at then i taylor make it to my wants and needs

    protaras is beautiful a friend of mine went and they loved it and had some great photos xx

    Mrswalker2be...? The wedding in Portugal? Do u mind me asking if the couple were portugese? I was looking at Portugal for our wedding but was told u have to be portugese or a resident for at least 30 days before the wedding day so we started looking at Cyprus instead. If u have any more info for me i would be really grateful! Coz I fell in love with a hotel our there and can't find one we both agree on in Cyprus! X

    Maria85... I found a brilliant wedding planner when I looked at getting married at the vrissiana boutique beach hotel in paralimni. Ita part of the tsokkos group hotels and a wedding planner comes as standard if u get married at a tsokkos hotel. I emailed the hotel wedding planner and she replied within an hour and answered all my questions and they also have a facebook group so u can talk to other brides to be and look at photo of previous weddings and hotels.everytime I sent an email to her he always replied quickly and she is the type of planner u want! Unfortunatlu for me my partner does not like the hotel so I have to find somewhere else. U could also try cyprusdreamweddings. they are good too!

    Oh yeah I did c the amphitheatre that looked nice too! How many people are u having come out there? My friend had about 20 people and it was very relaxed after the ceremony we all drank pimms and mingled whilst they got their photos done and then we had the buffet. Are u having any entertainment at all? X

    That sounds like a nice amount of people not too many and not too few. Yes after the buffet there was two cypriot dancers did a show for about 30 mins and they got everyone involved and dancing! Then we had some more drinks and listened to music but music was very quiet. It did feel like there was something missing entertainment wise like it needed a dj and a disco so urs sounds perfect. The men made their own entertainment in the end by stripping and jumping in the pool! Was very funny ESP when someone decided to nick someones clothes and then thy got told off by the hotel manager! He said they would be damaged sexually coz of the amount of chemicals that were put in the pool to clean it at night and they soon got out after hearing that! Lol

    It would have been cheaper for us to go away and get married but the inlaws would never fly and we wouldn't get married without them so settled for doing it over here. Some of the packages do look lovely though.
