Using a Cyprus wedding planner can help you create a unique personalised wedding in Cyprus.
Before deciding on how you are going to plan your wedding in Cyprus I strongly recommend investigating the services offered by wedding planners or co-ordinators.
Many couples getting married in Cyprus opt for a wedding package booked through a Tour Operator, which are usually very comprehensive in terms of the services to be provided and can be excellent value for money.
However, if a couple would like to have a deeper connection to their wedding day plans and wish to have more choice over the services and how their wedding day will be, using a Cyprus wedding planner is a great alternative.
Not only will a Cyprus wedding planner provide a tailored and personalised service but they offer extremely competitive prices. In many cases it may actually be less expensive to use a wedding planner than to book a wedding package through a Tour Operator.
Couples who choose to use a Cyprus wedding planner over Tour Operators do so for a number of reasons, one being they want their wedding day to be unique, reflecting their individual styles and personalities.
One of the best ways to show you the advantages and benefits of using a Cyprus wedding planner is to look at how they differ from Tour Operators.
Cyprus Wedding Planner vs. Tour Operator
Point 1.
Wedding planners are individuals or small companies who specialise exclusively in organising weddings. Organising weddings is their core business not just a small part of a wider business offering.
Point 2.
Wedding planners do not use a set formula. Each wedding organised by a wedding planner is tailored to suit the individual styles, personalities and tastes of the couple who is getting married. A Tour Operator has a more structured offering with less room for a unique distinctive experience.
Point 3.
When using a wedding planner you will deal with the one contact throughout the entire process – from discussing initial planning ideas to wedding day co-ordination. You will get to know one another very well and develop a strong working relationship.
Point 4.
When using a Tour Operator you will usually have two separate teams organising your wedding. The initial planning will be done by a team in your home country and then once you get to Cyprus another team will take over to ensure your wedding runs smoothly.
Point 5.
Each wedding day that a wedding planner organises affects their reputation. Word of mouth is key to their success. A Cyprus wedding planner cannot afford to get it wrong, bad publicity will adversely affect their business and livelihood. In contrast it is easier for a larger Tour Operator to absorb bad publicity due to their size, industry position and their broad investment in many different facets of the travel business.
Point 6.
Wedding planners have more autonomy and flexibility to make decisions. If you book your wedding through a Tour Operator, your contact will be an employee that must follow set company guidelines and procedures. Wedding Planners on the other hand are usually the boss! You will always be speaking to the decision maker and should get any answers you need immediately.
Point 7.
A wedding planner should only organise one wedding a day, thereby, ensuring you will have the planner’s undivided attention on the day of your wedding. A Tour Operator may co-ordinate a number of weddings on the same day.
Point 8.
A wedding planner will be able to confirm the date of your wedding once it has been booked. If you use a Tour Operator they will confirm the week your wedding will take place in but may not be able to provide your exact wedding date until closer to the time of your wedding.
Point 9.
A wedding planner can organise your wedding reception at a venue which suits the style of your wedding. You may want your guests to experience a traditional Cypriot setting and have your reception in a Taverna or you may wish to have your reception aboard a yacht or in an exclusive golf club. If you book a wedding package through a Tour Operator you will generally only be able to have your reception in a hotel with which they have an affiliation.
Point 10.
To define this unique sense of occasion, a Cyprus wedding planner can organise extra activities around your wedding day. You may decide that taking your guests on a jeep safari tour or sailing in the Mediterranean will make your wedding all the more special. Wedding planners will often be more than happy to organise these activities for you and your guests.
Point 11.
A wedding planner can organise some or all of your wedding. You may wish to use a wedding planner only to organise the legalities of getting married in Cyprus and arrange the other aspects of your wedding day yourself, or you may be wish to use a wedding planner to arrange every detail for you.
Point 12.
Wedding planners offer a bespoke service therefore each wedding is priced according to the level of organisation required and the type of extras to be included. However, as mentioned above, Cyprus wedding planners offer very competitive pricing and may be less expensive than using a Tour Operator.
