a villa wedding in Paphos

A destination wedding in Cyprus that lasts all week

Most wedding venues in Cyprus give you an afternoon. A villa gives you the week. Your people arrive one by one, a little sunburnt and very happy, and by the second evening the house feels like yours. Lunch runs long by the pool. Someone finds the good glasses. Then the day itself: vows with the sea behind you, dinner under the olive tree, dancing until the pool lights are the only lights left. Every photograph below is from a real wedding at a villa around Paphos.

01 · The morning

Getting ready

The shutters open at eight and the light is already warm. Coffee on the terrace in a dressing gown, your sister doing your lashes, the dress hanging in the doorway where everyone can see it. Nobody is hurrying you out of a hotel room. Your mum cries a little when she sees you, and so does your dad, though he blames the sun.

02 · The ceremony

Vows with the sea behind you

Bare feet on warm stone, or heels sinking into the lawn. The arch is heavy with flowers, the chairs are full of people who crossed a sea to be here, and the Mediterranean is doing what it does best. Then it goes very quiet. You hear the cicadas, the wind catching the veil, and your own voice saying yes.

03 · Just married

Confetti, petals and that first kiss

Someone always throws the confetti too early. Nobody minds. You walk back down the aisle married, holding hands a little too tightly, through rose petals and cheering. Somewhere near the back, your grandmother is telling a stranger she knew all along.

04 · The little things

Chosen by hand

Rings in a small wooden box. A bouquet the colour of the bougainvillea by the gate. Place cards you wrote out at the kitchen table months ago, with the radio on. Nobody remembers the napkins, people say. Then they catch themselves photographing one.

05 · The table

Dinner under the olive tree

One long table, white linen, candles that will not be needed for another hour. Some couples eat beside the pool, some under a sail in an olive grove, some in a marquee with the sea turning pink beyond it. The first glass is poured as the water goes gold. Every seat is close enough to hear the speeches, and close enough to hold a hand under the tablecloth.

06 · The food and the cake

Passed down the table

Cypriot cheese, cured meats, figs and grapes, bread torn by hand and passed along the table. Afternoon tea for the hot hours, if you like. Later the cake comes out with the coast behind it, and the knife is mostly for the photographs: you will be feeding each other the first slice anyway.

07 · The dancing

Shoes off, music up

The first dance under strings of lights, a little shy for the first verse and not at all by the last. Then a father who will not let go, friends who never leave the floor, sparklers, and someone spinning fire into the dark. Nobody has to find a taxi. Bed is upstairs.

08 · The sunset

Golden hour in Paphos

Around seven the light softens and everything turns the colour of honey. Slip away for ten minutes with your photographer while the sun sinks behind the palms. These are the pictures that end up on the wall. The quiet minute after the camera goes down is the one you keep for yourselves.

09 · After dark

The pool lights come on

The fairy lights take over from the sun. The pool glows, the music drifts out over the water, and someone always ends up on the edge with their feet in. The last dance is slow and close, the night still warm on your shoulders. Nobody wants to be the first to bed.

10 · The morning after

Still together

Breakfast by the pool in sunglasses, retelling the speeches. Someone swims. Someone finds the last of the cake. The wedding was one day, but the villa keeps you all together for the rest of the week, and you get to wake up married with every one of them still here.

Your people around one table, the sea going gold, and nowhere else to be. We look after the rest.

What we take care of

Wedding planning in Cyprus, from first call to last dance

Planners

We can introduce you to wedding planners we know around Paphos, people who have done this at our villas many times. Bring your own and we will work alongside them.

Catering

Meze that keeps coming, a long seated dinner or a grill by the pool. We put you in touch with caterers who know our villa kitchens and where the plates go.

Flowers and styling

Arches, table flowers, bouquets, lanterns and lights. Local florists and stylists set up on the day while you are upstairs getting ready.

Music

A guitarist for the vows, a band or a DJ for later. Every villa has its own music times, and we tell you yours before you book.

Hair, make-up and photography

Stylists who come to the villa in the morning, and photographers who know exactly where the light falls at seven.

Transfers

Help getting you and your guests from Paphos or Larnaca airport to the villa, and to the ceremony if it is somewhere else.

The rules, in plain words

  • Sleeping and celebrating are two different numbers. A villa may sleep 22 and welcome more for the day; we give you both before you book.
  • Each villa sets its own music times and its own rules for events. We tell you them for your villa and date.
  • There can be an event charge and an extra damage deposit on top of your stay. We give you the figures before you book, never after.
  • Suppliers working at a villa must be licensed and insured, and some owners approve caterers first.
  • The legal side of marrying in Cyprus is for the proper authorities or your planner. We can point you to planners who handle it every week.

Questions couples ask

Questions about weddings in Cyprus

Can we hold the ceremony at the villa?

At many of our wedding villas in Cyprus, yes: by the pool, on the terrace or on the lawn. Tell us the villa and what you have in mind, and we will confirm what it allows before you book.

How many people can come?

That depends on the villa. Each one below shows two numbers: how many can sleep there and how many can join you for the day. For a small wedding in Cyprus, Villa Christina and Villa Searay feel just right; Villa Malibu and Villa Sarah can welcome up to 100.

Can our guests stay nearby?

Yes. We have villas of every size around Paphos, Peyia and Coral Bay, so friends who are not staying at the wedding villa can be a short drive away, and back in time for breakfast.

Do you have wedding planners?

We can introduce you to planners we know and trust, who can carry the day from the first email to the last dance. You are welcome to bring your own.

What time does the music stop?

Each villa has its own time, and some sit in quiet residential streets where outdoor music ends at 22:00. Ask us for the time at the villa you love, and plan the last dance around it.

Are there extra charges for a wedding?

There can be, on top of your stay: usually an event charge and an extra damage deposit. We give you the figures for your villa and date before you book, never after.

Is there a minimum stay?

It depends on the villa and the season. Tell us your dates and we will check.
