Ours was pain free. We had a wedding coordinator also. Obviously there are a lot of emails flying about in the run up to it, but they do this as their job and know exactly what they are doing. We made sure we got an English speaking one as we didn't want anything to get lost in translation. When we got to the island we had a few meetings, went to the hotel where the reception was to be held and met the manager to discuss what we wanted etc. It was all dead simple and a lot cheaper than in the UK. Because it was overseas it cut down on the number of guests considerably. We had 30 or 35 at ours. Everybody just had their holiday in Cyprus and made sure they were there at the right time. We spent about 5.5k all in - the flights and private villa for 2 weeks took up most of that. The actual wedding was peanuts.
If I had to do it over, I'd go away again. It was much better than being ripped off at every turn in the UK

Wow - that does sound stress free.... sounds perfect. Did many of your family or friends go? Or was it just yourselves?Originally posted by Pondlife View PostI know you asked Tony but in true CUK fashion I'm gonna give you my opinion anyway
We had ours in Sri Lanka last year and it was incredibly stress free TBH.
Wedding co-ordinator met us on day one to make some final choices (flowers, location etc) and to go over the arrangements.
Met the registrar on day 2 to fill out the paperwork
Booked Mrs PL's nail and hair appointments on Day 3
Married on Day 4
I would definitely recommend it for anyone who's not into a church wedding.
Where abouts in Sri Lanka did you get married - I did a tour of Sri Lanka a few years ago and stayed in some fab places!Leave a comment:
