A Ceremony That Sounds Like You
You've found the person. You've started picturing the day. Now you're looking for someone to stand at the front and tell your story properly.
That's the bit I do. Every wedding ceremony I write is built around the two of you, your love story, your families, your sense of humour, your traditions (or lack of them), and the kind of day you actually want, not the one a wedding website told you to have.
Cyprus gives us a stunning canvas to work with. The Aphrodite-born, sun-drenched, olive-tree kind of canvas. Whether you've fallen for a beach, a vineyard, a stone-walled rustic venue, a modern hotel, a clifftop, or somewhere completely unexpected, I'll come to you and we'll build the day around it.
The Legal Bit, Made Simple
Here's the question I hear most: "Will it actually be legal?"
In Cyprus, the legal marriage is registered through your local town hall (most municipalities offer civil marriages for a modest fee, with very simple paperwork). Many of my couples handle the legal piece quietly at the town hall in the days before, then have the real celebration with me, with their people, in the place they actually wanted to be married.
If you'd rather do the legal piece in your home country first, that works perfectly too. Either way, the ceremony I write for you is the one your guests will remember, and the one that will feel like your wedding.
I'm happy to talk through the options on our first call.
What's Included
Every wedding ceremony with me includes:
- An initial consultation, in person or by video call
- Your couple's questionnaire (the bit where I get to know you properly)
- Access to my poems and readings library
- A ceremony script written from scratch, just for you
- All drafts and revisions until it's exactly right
- One symbolic element or ritual, woven in
- Unlimited contact with me throughout the process
- Liaising with your venue, photographer, DJ and other suppliers so we're all on the same page
- An in-person meet and greet before the celebration
- Officiating your ceremony on the day
- A beautifully presented commemorative certificate for you to sign
Investment from €475, with additions priced individually depending on what you'd like to add.
How We'll Work Together.
-
The First Conversation
You get in touch, we book a free, no-obligation chat. I learn about you, you decide if I feel like the right fit. No pressure either way.
-
Booking and Questionnaire
A 25% non-refundable deposit secures your date. You complete the couple's questionnaire and we start building. A further 25% is due six months out, with the balance two months before the wedding.
-
Writing Your Ceremony
I write the first draft from your answers, our conversations, and the texture of who you are as a couple. We refine together over as many drafts as it takes.
-
The Run-Up
We choose your symbolic ritual, finalise your vows (or I write them with you), select readings, and lock in the music cues. I liaise with your venue and suppliers so the day runs like clockwork.
-
On the Day
I arrive at least an hour before your ceremony to check in with your venue and suppliers, meet your guests, and help everyone find their seats. Then we have your ceremony. There will be love. There will probably be tears. There will almost certainly be laughter. And your guests will be talking about it for months afterwards.
-
After
A signed commemorative certificate goes home with you. I stay in touch for any future celebrations, because once we've done this together, you're sort of stuck with me.
Rituals and Symbolic Elements
The ceremony is built around your story, but a symbolic ritual is often the moment that makes everyone in the room go quiet. A few I love:
- Sand ceremony, two colours blending into one
- Handfasting, the original "tying the knot"
- Unity candle
- Ring warming, where every guest holds your rings before they're given
- Wine box and love letter, sealed for an anniversary years from now
- Shot ceremony (Cyprus loves a Zivania)
- An olive branch ritual, made for couples marrying on this island
If none of those land, we'll create one for you.
Weddings I Especially Love
Outdoor and beach ceremonies in Paphos. Traditional Cypriot venues. Multicultural weddings where two heritages meet on the day. LGBTQ+ ceremonies. Blended families with children fully woven in. Intimate elopements. Big, loud, full-island gatherings. And the slightly unusual ones, on a rock, in a vineyard, somewhere with a view that knocks you sideways.
A Few Things Couples Often Ask
Can we have any kind of venue?
Yes. Beach, rustic, hotel, registered venue, garden, clifftop, somewhere I haven't been to yet. As long as we can get you there safely with a chair to sit your guests on, we can have a ceremony there.
Can we write our own vows?
Absolutely. I'll guide you, give you a structure if you'd like one, and I can write them for you if that feels less terrifying. Plenty of couples do one of each.
Can our children or pets be part of it?
Please. Some of my favourite ceremonies have included children, parents, dogs, and a lot of orchestrating from the front.
Do you travel outside Paphos?
Yes. Travel within 20 miles of Armou is included, which covers all of the Paphos municipality. Beyond that, I'll quote travel as a small additional fee. I also travel to the UK and elsewhere for English-speaking ceremonies (additional costs apply).
What Couples Have Said
Real moments, real ceremonies, real Cyprus weddings.
A short, beautiful quote from one of Cathy’s couples will live here, telling future couples exactly what it felt like to work with her.
A second testimonial from a different couple, in a different location across Cyprus, will sit here when ready.
Ready When You Are.
If something here has made you smile, or made you think "yes, that's the one," I'd love to hear from you. A no-obligation chat costs nothing and tells you everything you need to know.
