The couple has an option of two types of ceremonies: Civil or church or both. They are perfectly legal and recognized worldwide. The same paperwork is required for either ceremony venue.

You can book your wedding date via telephone or email.

Civil Weddings between foreigners can be done in one of two ways:

a) By presenting notification of wedding: In this case the marriage cannot take place within the first 15 days from the date of notification and not later than three months from that date. The interested parties will therefore have to remain in Cyprus for at least 15 days.

b) With the obtainment of a special license: The interested parties apply to the Mayor of Municipality of their choice for the special license. Due to the specialised methods which are enforced by the Municipality of Geroskipou a marriage with the special license can take place within 24 hours.geroskipou-weddings-4
