The wedding story of Kayleigh & Lee Barnfield, 8th September 2026,Aphrodite Hills Resort

I just want to say from the bottom of my heart. Thank you thank you thank you so so much for what was the most perfect day. I could not think of one tiny little thing I would change and that’s all thanks to you and your team!

How did you first meet? Charity event in the Lake District. We ended up on the same team and got to talking. We worked for the same company and never spoke until the event. It really is true that love comes along when you least expect it 

How did the proposal happen? We were both working from home when he came in to the kitchen and sprang it on me, no big gestures just us at home where we felt most comfortable 

Why did you choose to get married in Cyprus, and what made you choose your venue? We looked online at a lot of places but Cyprus really stood out to us. Due to the size of our wedding party <30 we came across Aphrodite Hills Resort with the secret garden and wow it did not disappoint 

How far in advance did you book your wedding? 2 years 

What made you choose Cyprus Dream Weddings to help plan your wedding? The packages and service they had to offer

How many guests joined you in Paphos for your wedding? 25 guests total

Tell us about your stunning dress, your shoes and accessories, and how long did it take you to find them? My gorgeous dress happened to be from the first and only shop I went to it was the first dress I tried. I tried on around 5 more dresses and asked to put mine back on I just absolutely loved it. We left the shop and I couldn’t stop talking about it. We went back the next weekend and tried it on again and put the deposit down my shoes were designed and made by a lovely lady I found on Etsy who was based in Greece she added lace which matched my dress perfection and my accessories were a present from my parents, simple and beautiful pearl necklace and pearl drop earrings 

Can you tell us about the finer details of the day, i.e. Wedding Cake, Hairdresser, Photographer etc. I type and smile as i remember just how perfect my day was with the lovely hairdressers who styled my hair so perfectly. My make up artist who listened to each one of my bridal party to give us the perfect lasting look and our photographer and his daughter who really became part of our day getting the perfect shots so we can look back and be reminded of what was the most perfect day

What was the highlight of your day? I don’t know if I can pick one- seeing my husband to be waiting for me at the end of the aisle around all my most special people. Seeing for the first time how beautiful the secret garden had been dressed for our reception. The saxophonist that got everyone up dancing the DJ that felt like he knew us all and kept the party going to the very last minute the list could just go on
