All wedding ceremonies are conducted in English. All paperwork and the Marriage Certificate will be issued in English, and this is fully recognised in the United Kingdom and throughout the world.

Two witnesses are required, but we will be only too happy to be your witnesses should you wish to come to Cyprus on your own.

A copy of the two witnesses Passports are required to complete the necessary paperwork upon your arrival in Cyprus.

PLEASE NOTE

We will request prior to your arrival in Cyprus copies of all of your legal paperwork giving you peace of mind that when you arrive in Cyprus and we take you to the Town Hall to obtain your Marriage Licence  everything will be in order.  You just need to remember to bring all the original paperwork with you!

There is no legal reason why you have to be in Cyprus for any number of days before your wedding. As we are a specialist wedding company we do not insist on you taking a 14 night holiday, and we will co-ordinate your wedding wherever you stay.  It is better to leave 2 – 3 working days prior to your wedding for us to ensure we sort everything out.

In Cyprus ceremonies are generally not performed on Saturdays, Sundays or Public Holidays, however, upon request Saturdays may be available at some venues.

* Please contact MedWeds for full legal requirements

If you have any queries regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact us at MedWeds.

MedWeds cannot be held responsible for any documents not available or incorrect once you arrive in Cyprus
