Paphos Town Hall
Paphos Town Hall, situated in the heart of the old town, hosts civil ceremonies.
It is in a convenient, easy-to-find spot and close to most hotels. Ideal
for both summer and winter weddings, a ceremony at Paphos Town Hall can be
tailor-made to the couple’s tastes.
The Ceremony Rooms
The official ceremony room at Paphos Town Hall can seat up to 12 guests with
standing room for up to 30.
Larger wedding parties can be accommodated in a second, unofficial ceremony room
depending on availability.
The Ceremony
A civil ceremony at Paphos Town Hall would start with a CD rendition of the traditional
marriage music ‘Here Comes the Bride’ for the entry of the bride. The marriage
officer joins the ceremony after the bride arrives.
It is important to note that, as the bridal couple, you are free to select your
own personal choice of music for both the entry of the bride and the exit of
the newlyweds and guests.
There is no restriction on who can give the bride away. However, two witnesses,
each over the age of 18, need to attend. The witnesses can be chosen by you,
the couple. If you do not have any witnesses, two will be provided by the Town
Hall and Ido Weddings.
Ceremonies at Paphos Town Hall can take place between 8:30am and 2pm from Monday
to Friday. During the high summer season, ceremonies can be conducted later in
the afternoon on Thursdays only. Paphos Town Hall does not charge an extra fee
for this.
Wedding Certificate
After a civil ceremony, the marriage licence is issued immediately. The document
is in English and does not need to be altered in any way nor registered on your
return to the UK. The licence can be used to make changes with any official documents
such as passports or bank information, if necessary.
Ido Weddings would suggest that you obtain an extra copy of the licence on
your wedding day. The current cost for this is €13.67 (₤8.00 CYP).
Photography
Paphos Town Hall is a beautiful neo-classical building, an elegant setting for
your special day.
The traditional interior of the venue is ideal for ceremony video and photo shoots.
The building’s portico is perfect for confetti throwing and an atmospheric spot
to film and photograph the newlyweds and their guests.
Although personal video and photography is permitted, Ido Weddings would strongly
recommend a professional service which they would be happy to help arrange.
Necessary Documents
Ido Weddings will assist you in submitting all documentation required in
order for the ceremony to take place prior to the wedding day.
The current cost of a compulsory marriage licence fee and ceremony is €281.92
(₤165.00 CYP).

Town Hall and costs €341.73 (₤200.00 CYP). Such a ceremony can be conducted
