We got married on 4th August 2023 at the Green Olive in Paphos. I originally contacted Kerry in January 2022 to book our wedding. We originally had planned to get married at Paphos Town Hall and have a “lunch” after. When I mentioned this to Kerry, she suggested the Green Olive as a venue for an intimate ceremony and reception! Oh my, are we glad she did!
Everything about our day was amazing, we couldn’t have had a better day if we tried, it far exceeded both our expectations.
We had originally invited 26 guests (including us) however come the day it was 18 of us in total, immediate family only and this made it all the more special.
From my first communication with Kerry, right through to the day and beyond we couldn’t have asked for more. We had always planned a simple, relaxed, and casual day and that’s exactly what we got. When we met Kerry for our video consultation, it was obvious Kerry just “got us” as a couple and what we were trying to achieve, we were quite relaxed with everything, and Kerry made some excellent suggestions.
Unfortunately, Kerry was unavailable on the day of our wedding (due to us changing time and location) and Kamile stepped in, honestly it was like Kamile had been with us the whole way. Her and Kerry seamlessly made our wedding day amazing.
I had my hair and makeup done on the day and it was just stunning, exactly as I had imagined it. Our flowers were divine, I asked Kerry if it might be possible to have a little blue in there, she said it was always difficult to get blue, but on my arrival, I was absolutely delighted to see my bouquet did have blue, that is going above and beyond.
Our photographer was brilliant and so relaxed, no one felt the photos were a chore and they are stunning! I can’t believe its us!
Our venue was simply beautiful, Harris was so attentive, the food was delicious, we had the BBQ meze option, and it was plentiful!
I can’t recommend Cyprus Dream weddings highly enough. We had a stress-free day that both of us will remember forever.
I wish we could do it all again! Maybe back for our ten-year vow renewal!
Reading about the relaxed, casual vibe made me think about styling choices too — intimate weddings always seem to look best when the outfits aren’t fighting the setting. It reminded me of personal style outfit ideas I’ve browsed before when trying to keep colors soft and not too “done.” Curious if you two planned the color theme from the start, or if it kind of evolved once you picked the venue?
The detail about asking for “a little blue” in the flowers is exactly the kind of small choice that makes things feel personal without going over the top. It honestly makes me want to see the bouquet close-up — I end up saving little color ideas like that (sometimes even in a simple tool just to mock up palettes). Also, having someone step in last minute and still feel seamless is huge.
It’s nice seeing a write-up where the coordinator actually adapts to the couple instead of the other way around — that “she just got us” line says a lot. Slight tangent: I’ve noticed a similar vibe when people submit ai tool listings — the good ones make the process feel effortless even when details change. The small guest count sounds like it turned into a real win in the end.
The timeline changes you mentioned made me wonder how you paced the day (especially with a smaller group) — did it feel like everything flew by? I’ve caught myself using a handy playback speed calculator tool for planning things lately, and it’s funny how even “happy events” benefit from rough time math. The way Kamile stepped in seamlessly sounds like such a relief.
I like how the post doesn’t pretend everything was “perfect” from the start — changing time/location and still having it run smoothly is the bit that convinced me it was well managed. Totally unrelated, but after reading wedding logistics I always end up decompressing with a quick puzzle game for 10 minutes, then I can think straight again. The hair/makeup description makes me curious what the overall vibe of the photos ended up like.
