Testimonials

Claire and I have been home now for a couple of weeks and we are still buzzing about our fairy-tale Wedding.

So we wanted to thank you so much for all your marvellous efforts in ensuring that our Wedding was such a memorable day. Everything that you did; organising the legal Registrar, advising us about the necessary paperwork and engaging our delightful Celebrant, Keith, was just perfect. Not to mention booking the fabulous Monastery, setting the scene for The Blessing, your negotiations with the Kybele Restaurant and decorating the Wedding Table so beautifully – oh, and managing to source such an excellent photographer for us when we decided we wanted a professional at the last minute!

We will remember our big day for the rest of our lives and we are indebted to your experience and support to help make it happen in the most perfect way imaginable.

Kindest regards

Chris & Claire Simpson

We cannot thank you enough for making our dream a reality. From the moment we decided to celebrate our wedding in Northern Cyprus, Bellapais Abbey was our number one venue choice and Claire from My Wedding Cyprus was the ideal planner for the job.

Meeting Claire after our engagement (at our favourite venue) was reassuring and despite me being very organised, it was a relief to pass the reins on to Claire. I had plenty of questions which Claire answered without a second thought and was able to give further details via email where necessary.

As we live in the UK, Claire’s swift responses by email reassured me no end as I continued to bombard her with questions!

Her contacts in Northern Cyprus meant that the flowers, cakes, DJ and hairdressers were fantastically briefed before we arrived. The DJ and the hair dresser/makeup artist were both English speaking and therefore able to provide an exemplary service.

A few days before the wedding, Claire arranged a walk through our wedding and gave us the chance to meet our celebrant.  This again was most helpful as the nerves had begun to kick in!

Seeing the dream become a reality was surreal; Claire’s calm organisational nature meant that the day was seamless. The ceremony at the District Office to her delivering the wedding flowers to our villa to arranging transportation and the supervision of flower girls/page boy walking through the village, wasn’t any trouble for Claire. The venue was dressed impeccably and Claire circulated amongst the guests and groomsmen to ensure that the timings were met.

All the email refinements plus the finer details on the day made our wedding perfect for us. Everyone commented on how wonderful the day was so I thank you for that as we really couldn't have done it without you!

When me and my now husband Neil decided to get married in Northern Cyprus we looked online to find the right person to help plan and organise our big day. And we did.

We live in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. My family heritage lies in Northern Cyprus so we know the island and try to visit Cyprus once a year. We decided that Bellapais was our dream location when we went for dinner there one year and we fell in love with the place before we even got engaged and when the time came we knew that was where we wanted to take our nearest and dearest and get married outside in the ruins in the mountains. Perfect.

When I first got in touch with Claire, she immediately had me at ease as I knew she knew her stuff and her friendly emails were comforting in a time that can be stressful planning a wedding abroad. But my experience was a pleasure thanks to Claire. I am quite a relaxed person but Claire’s professionalism was a blessing. She was always so helpful and caring towards mine and Neil's needs. Every question was answered and it was so nice to know that she genuinely loves her job and cared for my needs. It was a personal and professional relationship that we built during the planning and she made wedding life easy. Especially when it came to the Cyprus laws and legalities of getting married abroad and the rules of the Bellapais Abbey also.

Working together mainly via email was time consuming but so easy and I was never concerned that I only met up with Claire 3 or 4 times before the big day. Over the 18 months of emails and planning everything was covered with joint effort but Claire was fantastic and pretty much took care of everything. From table lanterns, ribbons to DJ and songs we covered it. I brought some things over from the UK and Claire got some bits out in Cyprus but a real team effort to get the things we wanted to make our day look romantic and feel relaxed. I couldn’t have done it without her.

The day came and it was magical, amazing and was exactly how me & Neil had pictured it. Really personal, fun and romantic. It was perfect.

The morning of the wedding I got to relax with my girls and get ready with a glass of champers while Claire in the heat took care of everything. Setting tables, tying sashes, placing my notes and table flowers, organising the lanterns and fairy lights and the restaurant and the drinks and the guests as they started to arrive. Having her there on the day was a blessing and a pleasure to share our day with. Literally an amazing wonderfully talented women and my day wouldn’t have been as perfect without her. Claire is a wonderful lady and incredible at her job always going that extra step to help, I would highly recommend her if getting married in Cyprus is your dream because with time and partnership she will make your dreams come true.

It was the best day of mine and Neil's life and I'm not just saying it. To have our friends and families come together in that magical setting was unforgettable and so is Claire. I thank you Claire for making our dream Cyprus wedding a reality. 

Claire’s website first impressed me as it was very professional and informative.  Any queries/emails were very quickly responded to which makes such a big difference when you are planning a wedding abroad.

Claire listened to what we wanted, gave advice when asked and never tried to push or suggest something different.  She gave us massive confidence in her ability and therefore confidence for ‘the big day.’  The day was absolutely perfect and it helped knowing Claire was there every step of the way with us.  Claire is very easy going, professional and I feel like I have known her all my life.  Thanks Claire for everything!

I must also mention Keith Lloyd the Celebrant who immediately took away any anxiety during the ceremony and Susie Forster who has taken the most amazing photographs.

Thanks everyone!

From contacting three or four wedding planners in Northern Cyprus I knew Claire was the right choice from her response to my initial email.
The other planners sent out a pre-devised response where as Claire asked questions from the start about the vision I had for my wedding.

Claire helped to create our perfect day with ease and a laid back approach which is how we wanted it to be.

Claire responds immediately to emails which is important and all the legal side went ahead with ease and good planning.

Bellapais was more than perfect. We loved our day so, so much it meant everything to us.

Thank you Claire for making our day one of the best days of our lives.

We went to Cyprus to have a lovely holiday to celebrate our 40th Wedding  Anniversary. Whilst there we decided we would like to renew our vows at Bellapais. Not knowing how to do this I searched the Internet and found 'My Wedding Cyprus'.
From that moment everything was perfect, Claire arranged it all to the last detail. In 4 days she had the flowers, car, venue, celebrant and visited us four times to check everything.
We had the most magical day of our lives thanks to Claire.
If you are thinking of a wedding in Cyprus look no further than Claire, she is amazing

We wanted a simple wedding and were fairly clueless about the decision making as planning my own wedding was not really a girlhood dream.  So to all of you out there who think wedding planner = extravagant you can think again.  Claire made It a simple stress free day and her concern and attentiveness was evident at every step.  Dan and I couldn't be happier.  Thank you so very much. x

Many thanks to Claire and My Wedding Cyprus for helping to make our wedding at the Bellapais Monastery so perfect.

Many, many thanks for organising a truly wonderful wedding that captured everything we'd hoped for: a seductive mix of vibrant Turkish cultural influences and beachside conviviality with plenty of oh-so stylish wedding chic. You enhanced the natural beauty of a magnificent setting with a host of clever, memorable touches that totally blew our guests away. I am still marvelling at the hard work and commitment you employed to make our special day absolutely perfect - a thank you seems inadequate for such amazing effort and creative flair.

Thank you Claire for everything you did for us. You were extremely supportive from the beginning, kept us on track and organised for our wedding day. We were especially grateful for all the contact before we arrived in Cyprus which gave us complete peace of mind, so that we were totally relaxed and able to enjoy our special day. The advice we received was second to none and we have already recommended My Wedding Cyprus to some friends getting married in North Cyprus next year.

Thank you so muchMy Wedding Cyprusfor making our day so wonderful and special, and extra special thanks to Claire for all her help - along the way and on the day - and for taking these wonderful photos. Lots of Love Pete and Jue Heywood

We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day, all the stress was taken out of it with My Wedding Cyprus looking after us. It was a very special day for us and our families and we can’t thank Claire enough for helping to make it perfect for us.

Thank you My Wedding Cyprus

We were all really pleased with everything the girls at My Wedding Cyprus did for us to make our wedding day the day we had been looking for. They thought of things before they even occurred to us and were on hand with helpful advice whenever we had any questions. We cannot recommend them enough.

We had a wonderful wedding day, thanks to My Wedding Cyprus. They helped us through every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble, thank you.

Our wedding at the Oasis Hotel in Dipkarpaz was an idyllic dream, a fairy tale venue with a breath taking view and a beautiful sunset. It really was a dream-come-true with the kind of wow-factor every bride and groom wishes for their wedding… 

It was also a nightmare to organise! Set in the remotest part of Cyprus with no mains electricity, limited fridge space, no public transport and the language barrier, our wedding was a huge challenge to pull together. It certainly would not have happened without My Wedding Cyprus and we are so grateful for their expertise, contacts and support throughout the last 7 months of planning. On the night, they were exceptional; attentive, prepared, calm and controlled. They were constantly on hand to discretely direct both suppliers and guests and to sort out any problems that arose, such as the wind blowing over several tables of champagne glasses just before dinner!

The evening was a huge success and we also thank them for their help in planning events around the wedding, such as an excellent boat trip the day before and minibus transport throughout the wedding week. 

Thanks to both of you for everything. I would highly recommend ‘My Wedding Cyprus’ to anyone planning to get married in North Cyprus.

Everything was perfect. Thank you so much to My Wedding Cyprus who did everything to perfection. It was a wonderful day. Please, please, please use My Wedding Cyprus as your wedding planners.

We wanted a Hindu wedding ceremony in North Cyprus in December. Keith did a fantastic job, learning about all the Hindu traditions for us and taking our blessing at Bellapais Abbey.

My Wedding Cyprus organised a henna artist for Inna and all the decoration for the ceremony area. We had our reception at the Colony Hotel and they organised all the entertainment, including a whirling dervish and belly dancers. Nothing was too much trouble on the day and then they also arranged for a brunch after the wedding day and a guided trip to Famagusta. 

I would not hesitate to recommend My Wedding Cyprus.

Thank you Claire, our wedding day was amazing, we would not have had it any other way. Thank you so, so much for everything you did for us. It was brilliant.

I had always dreamed of having my wedding in the karpaz peninsular at a little place called Ayos Philion. My husband and I had spent many great times there over the years and the idea just seemed perfect - an old roman harbour with stunning ruins and perfect little beach. However a small issue was that the venue was in the middle of nowhere with no mains electric or catering facilities!!

Never one to be perturbed by such trivialities I set about finding someone to help me organise this extravaganza. After meeting two event companies from Istanbul and then despairing firstly because of their desire to turn the wedding into an enigma theme night and secondly due to their astronomic costs I was at the point of giving up and telling everyone the wedding was off. That is until a good friend introduced me to Jayne. Unperturbed by the six week time frame, the need to book 150 guests into the very few hotels across the Karpaz peninsular, organise the catering in an area with no refrigeration and help me design and order all the decoration, Jayne ploughed in with military precision making sure that every detail was covered.

No small feat when there were 10 different companies involved and all had to be in the karpaz on the right day with the right equipment - there was no option to shoot back to kyrenia to pick up some forgotten component. On the day of the wedding it was 90 degrees with 80% humidity - Jayne and her small team decorated the entire venue under the blazing sun and liaised with the numerous companies to make sure that every aspect of the plans came to fruition. To be frank most would have crumbled under the pressure or retired to bed with sun stroke but Jayne managed to make me feel as though everything was running smoothly and took any fear I had of an impending disaster away. The evening went without a hitch and people still talk to this day of how it was a spectacular wedding. Little did they know that six weeks prior to the event I had nothing properly organised. As far as I am concerned Jayne saved my day and made it truly special. She remains a great friend of mine and I would have no issue recommending her company to anyone in need of a wedding angel - actually she is an essential ingredient if you want to have a fabulous stress free wedding in North Cyprus
