Our perfect day

Just Married

My now ‘husband’ and I travelled out to Cyprus in December 2014 to try and find the perfect location for our wedding. We came home disheartened as we couldn’t find the right place which ticked all of our boxes. Thankfully after searching online, I came across Stella and her website and saw pictures of a venue which I had not come across before. I immediately called and spoke with Stella and explained exactly what we were looking for. As my father is Cypriot I wanted to incorporate some Cyprus traditions into a ‘English style’ wedding. As soon as I spoke with Stella I knew that she understood what we were trying to achieve and the fact that her son had recently got married at the venue we were looking at pretty much made my mind up that we couldn’t go wrong with the venue. Within a few days of speaking with Stella the venue was booked, which for us was a big step, as we wouldn’t usually book something without having seen it in person.

 

I have to say that Minthis Hills was an absolutely stunning location for our wedding. The old monastery set within a courtyard is beautiful and the scenery of hills and trees is breath-taking. This mixed in with a modern clubhouse for the wedding reception created the perfect wedding venue for us. Our guests were all amazed with the venue and each and every one of them complimented on what a wonderful day they had, they are still talking about it now!!

 

Our perfect day would not have been possible without Stella. She really does an amazing job, from recommending the top suppliers and keeping on top of them once booked to organising the finer details such as legal docs which we would not have had the faintest clue about! She takes the stress away, you really can rely on Stella and be comfortable that she will get things done. She is definitely not afraid to keep everyone in check to make sure the day runs smoothly! It was great to know that she was there throughout day should any issue arise (and to hold the essentials that I couldn’t fit in my bag such as hairspray and make-up!) but it was also lovely to have her be part of our day, the little touch in large confetti cannons that she gave to our guests was a lovely surprise and made for some great photos!

 

A special mention also to Andrea and Paris for producing such beautiful flowers, the courtyard was like a dream when I walked into it, I couldn’t have wished for anything more. The reception venue was equally as beautiful, it was created just how I had hoped it would be. So a huge thank you to them also!

 

If you are looking for a musician for your cocktail ceremony then we would really recommend Kirsty Dewar as she is an amazing artist and a really lovely lady. We could have listened to her singing and playing the guitar all night.

 

We can’t finish without also mentioning Natalie and the staff at Minthis Hills who ensured that our guests were happy, they couldn’t have done any more if they had tried, the service was exceptional!

 

Stella – Thank you so much for your help leading up to and on the wedding day itself. It really was perfect in every way, we are so glad that we chose Minthis Hills for our venue. If we had one wish it would be to do it all over again!! x

Wonderful Weddings In Cyprus

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did to help make our dream wedding a reality!!

We couldn’t of had a better day and everything was just perfect from the beautiful church, stunning venue, horse and carriage, dj, photographer, videographer and the fabulous double decker wedding bus all of which you organised amazingly for us. Myself and new husband Shane are truly grateful for all your hard work and we really couldn’t of done it without you!!

It was such a pleasure meeting you two years ago when we visited the beautiful island of Cyprus for the first time. You were so lovely to us and nothing was too much for you. We loved looking at all the venues with you and it made us sooo excited to get married in Paphos and knew we were making the right decision. We knew as soon as we met you that you would do anything to make our wedding day perfect for us and you certainly did that!!

I will miss our endless emails and FaceTime chats as you always made the stress of planning a wedding disappear. You were always so bubbly and positive which always reassured me with all your helpful advise. I just want to say thank you for your patience and quick replies to my emails (which there was so many)
You were always there to help.

I would recommend any of you brides to be to pick Stella as your wedding planner. You will be amazed at what she can do!!

It was lovely getting to know you and hope to stay in touch!!

From the new Mr & Mrs O’Shea 🙂

We first heard about Stella from Exclusive weddings Cyprus from a colleague who had been out in Cyprus at one of her weddings, and getting in touch with her was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.  From our initial e-mail making contact she was able to establish exactly the kind of wedding we were envisioning, and was able to recommend a beautiful venue.  We literally exchanged hundreds of e-mails as well as phone calls and Skype, and no problem or query was too small and she went above and beyond to help bring our perfect day together.

We went out on a trip to Cyprus prior to the wedding, where she spent time showing us around the venue and suppliers. When our wedding finally came around, she made everything a breeze – all the legal bits, town hall etc. were handled professionally and swiftly, and on the day itself she was on hand to make sure everything went perfectly to plan (and even the tiny things that didn’t go to plan we didn’t need to worry about, as Stella was on it!).  Stella took brilliant photos of our day and had them ready on discs for us and our parents, which was a lovely touch and allowed us to look back on everything before the official ones arrived.

 

In addition, Stella’s contacts are amazing and all the suppliers and professionals she put us in touch with were brilliant and truly helped us have the wedding we had dreamed of.  In particular we have to mention:

Maria and her team who did amazing hair and make-up – I had been slightly worried as I didn’t have a trial but I showed her photos and the end result was a million times better than the pictures!

Andrew our priest and Helen at the Anglican Church of Paphos took the time to get to know us beforehand and  looked after us and our guests during the ceremony and Andrew did a lovely, very personal service which meant a lot to both of us and our families.

Blue Jar, our musicians, did a fantastic job of playing during our ceremony and they also performed our first dance, which was so good that one of our guests thought it was a pre-recorded version until they realised it was Lesley singing.  Spine tingling!

Paris of Enchanted Flowers did the most beautiful bouquets and decorations, which everyone commented on, and which made the venue look absolutely amazing.   Which also matched my dress and style of our wedding perfectly.  It was such a privilege to be able to work with her.

Jo and Jackie at Love Island Cakes, who made us the most gorgeous and delicious wedding cake and biscuit place names, as well as cupcakes for the bridal party to have whilst getting ready.

Thanks you as well to Sherie and Jasmine, who helped us with all our additional decorations.

 

I cannot recommend Stella Virdi highly enough for anyone planning a wedding in Cyprus and would like to thank her again for all her help and hard work.

 

Thanks again
