If you’ve fallen in love with the beauty of Bellapais Abbey, you’re certainly not alone. Perched in the charming village of Bellapais, overlooking the coastline of Kyrenia, this magnificent Gothic abbey is one of the most romantic and iconic wedding venues in Northern Cyprus.
Having lived just ten minutes from Bellapais Abbey for many years, I know this beautiful venue, the surrounding area, and the local wedding industry exceptionally well. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony for two or a celebration with family and friends, I’m here to make the journey as enjoyable and stress-free as the wedding day itself.
Your Ceremony, Your Story
Your wedding ceremony should be one of the most memorable moments of your day—not simply the formal part before the celebrations begin.
Every ceremony I write is completely bespoke, reflecting your personalities, your journey together, and everything that makes your relationship unique. Whether you would like your ceremony to be elegant, romantic, relaxed, or filled with laughter, it will be written especially for you.
I only ever officiate one wedding each day, so my entire focus is on you. You’ll never feel rushed or like just another booking.
Local Knowledge You Can Rely On
Planning a destination wedding from overseas can feel daunting, but having someone local by your side makes all the difference.
Living just minutes from Bellapais Abbey means I can offer practical advice that only comes from local experience. Over the years, I have built trusted relationships with some of Northern Cyprus’s finest photographers, florists, musicians, hair and make-up artists, wedding planners, transport providers and reception venues.
I’m always happy to recommend suppliers I know personally and trust, helping you create a team that shares the same commitment to making your wedding unforgettable.
More Than Your Celebrant
Many couples choose me not only as their celebrant but also to remain with them throughout the day as their Professional Master of Ceremonies and Wedding Host.
Having one experienced professional looking after your celebration means you can simply relax and enjoy every moment. I’ll welcome your guests, liaise with your venue and suppliers, keep your day running smoothly, make announcements, introduce speeches, coordinate the cake cutting and first dance, and ensure everything flows seamlessly from beginning to end.
For destination weddings, this continuity provides invaluable peace of mind.
On Your Wedding Day
Before you arrive, I’ll already be at Bellapais Abbey, checking everything is ready for your ceremony and liaising with your planner, photographer and venue team. I have my own equipment for your ceremony, so you don’t have the additional expense of hiring PA systems.
Once your guests begin to arrive, I’ll ensure everyone knows where they need to be, answer any questions and help create a calm, relaxed atmosphere so that when it’s time for you to walk down the aisle, you can simply enjoy every precious moment.
After your ceremony, I always encourage couples to spend time exploring the Abbey with their photographer. The ancient stone arches, peaceful cloisters, and breathtaking views create some of the most spectacular wedding photographs anywhere in Cyprus.
Why Couples Choose Me
Couples often tell me they chose me because they wanted more than someone to conduct their ceremony.
They wanted someone who knows Northern Cyprus, understands destination weddings, has trusted local contacts and genuinely cares about making every part of the day feel effortless. My role is to guide you from our very first conversation until the celebrations are well underway, giving you the confidence to relax and enjoy every moment with the people you love.
