Venue highlight – Liopetro

Nestled in the ancient capital of Cyprus and the birthplace of Aphrodite the Goddess of Love, within Kouklia village, on archaeological ground that is steeped in history, Liopetro is an exclusive and unique choice of destination wedding venue in Cyprus.  Liopetro is situated in one of Unesco’s World Heritage sites, enriching your Cyprus wedding experience with authentic history.

Magical and serene, Liopetro is a real dream wedding venue. If you are in search of a private location where you can host every part of your wedding day in pretty surroundings, then rustic Liopetro is an impeccable choice; it is a traditional Cypriot purpose-built wedding venue made completely from stone and wood, with breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean sea.

Surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside, this blissful purpose-built wedding venue is designed to cater for your ceremony, reception, dinner and dance – so there is no need to transport your guests from one venue to another, which means you can all just arrive (in style? Why not book a traditional Cypriot country bus for your guests?!) relax and enjoy the day!  A gorgeous stone-clad bedroom is built within the venue especially for the bridal party to get ready in; it really is the perfect, beautiful space in which to lavish your pre-wedding pampering!

As for dining, the distinguished chefs at Liopetro can provide you with the best gourmet dishes and decadent deserts. Choose from Cypriot or International gourmet dishes, all made with the highest quality ingredients and served with style. Indulge in a variety of options that are rich in Mediterranean culture for your cocktail reception, canapes and dinner.

Dining and dancing at Liopetro are captivating too; this open-air venue indulges your night with a blanket of stars overhead, accompanied by uninterrupted views out to sea meaning that even though it’s still dark, you still feel the presence of the Mediterranean…especially if you’re lucky enough to have a full moon shimmering over the sea!

If you’re opting for an Orthodox ceremony, you even have the option of holding your destination wedding ceremony in the ancient church of Panagia Odigitria next to Liopetro. This church is from the 12th Century with frescoes saved from the 16th Century. Talk about historic.

We can promise that you will be enraptured and enchanted by the exquisite atmosphere at Liopetro. It truly is a Cypriot gem.

Venue Highlight – Villa Rio, Aphrodite Hills Resort

Cyprus is known as the Island of Love due to it being the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love.  Aphrodite Hills Resort is a stones throw away from Aphrodite’s Rock where Aphrodite is said to have risen from the waves. What location could be more perfect to exchange wedding vows with the love of your life?

Villa weddings are a wonderful choice of venue for your big day in Cyprus; they offer you a flexibility that you may not necessarily find at other wedding venues, so if you are looking for an intimate venue where you can take control of the finer details then a villa wedding may be just for you.

And when it comes to villa venues in Cyprus, Villa Rio on Aphrodite Hills Resort is a stunningly beautiful choice. This is one of the most opulent villas on the resort and trust us, it brings the wow factor even before we’ve waved our magic wedding décor wand!

The villa has a huge 25m pool and spacious terraces including a large lawned area which is perfect for both ceremony and dinner reception. The hot tub in the garden is an added bonus too. Villa Rio also hosts a great roof terrace with 360 degree views – a great spot for wedding photos with the sunset in the background!

The spacious and beautiful mature lawned gardens can be arranged and setup to suit the style and theme of your wedding, adding that important personalised touch. Let us know your ideas and we’ll bring them to life! Add a DJ and or a Band with a dancefloor and you can dance the night away under a canopy of beautiful stars.

There are wonderful catering options available for villa weddings too; all hand-picked and offering delicious and delightful menus. The large kitchen at Villa Rio is definitely a benefit for caterers, as well as all the space on the terraces – whether you choose a buffet, BBQ or set menu, no set up will feel crammed here.

The interior of the villa has been furnished and decorated to the highest standard and this opulence lends itself well to the special occasion of your wedding. The villa itself sleeps up to 10 people comfortably and has plenty of space in the sumptuous bedrooms and bathrooms for the wedding party to get ready on the big day itself. Aphrodite Hills Resort has many villas and apartments within close proximity, so accommodation for your guests is nice and simple too; we work closely with specialist rental company ‘Aphroditerentals.com’ who have the best options and offer a wedding group discount too.

Aphrodite Hills is a luxurious golf resort set in the hills overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. In this exquisite setting, the resort offers you recreation and relaxation beyond compare.The resort is the first and only golf, leisure and real estate complex on the island. It stretches across a whopping 234 hectares of land, divided by two plateaux, East and West.

The resort plays host to a range of facilities and activities, all designed to keep you entertained, invigorated and relaxed during your holiday – there’s an award winning Spa, the PGA National Aphrodite Hills 18 hole golf course, gym, tennis academy, soccer academy, horse riding centre, and a great choice of restaurants and bars.

If you would prefer your ceremony at a chapel setting, St Catherine’s Chapel on Aphrodite Hills Resort is a beautiful choice and is just a 5 minute drive from Villa Rio.

The options for your wedding day itinerary are wonderful at villa Rio; for example, whilst we transform the villa for your wedding, you can escape and have a lovely relaxing breakfast at the clubhouse restaurant overlooking the golf course. Your stylists, again hand-picked, can come to you at the villa, so there is no need to worry about having to travel off-resort.

Villa Rio has everything to offer you for your wedding day: it’s so perfect you’ll think that Aphrodite herself is looking over you on your special day.
