Best Time of Year to Get Married in Cyprus

There’s something quietly magical about planning a wedding in Cyprus. The island has a rhythm of its own — one that follows the sun, the sea breeze, and the soft scent of citrus groves. Over the years, we’ve had the joy of witnessing couples marry beneath olive trees, on wind-swept beaches, or in elegant villas overlooking the coastline. But one question returns again and again: When is the best time of year to get married in Cyprus?

 

There’s no universal answer — only the right one for you. The beauty of Cyprus lies in its variety, and every season brings something unique to your celebration. Whether you imagine a spring ceremony surrounded by wildflowers or a warm September evening with the golden light melting into the sea, we’re here to help you navigate the possibilities.

Understanding Cyprus’ Wedding Seasons

 

Before diving into the months, it helps to know how the local climate shapes the island’s mood. Cyprus has a Mediterranean climate: hot summers, mild winters, and long seasons of sunshine. But the experience can vary widely depending on where you are — coastal towns like Ayia Napa, Larnaca and Paphos each carry their own seasonal character.

Spring (March–May): Soft Light and New Beginnings

 

Spring in Cyprus often feels like the island is waking up. March and April see the countryside in bloom — almond blossoms, anemones, and fields of yellow daisies colour the landscape. Temperatures hover between 17°C and 25°C, ideal for outdoor ceremonies that feel fresh, but not too warm.

 

Many couples gravitate to this season because it strikes a gentle balance: fewer tourists, lighter breezes, and a certain softness in the air that suits intimate weddings. It’s also a wonderful time for photography — the light tends to be crisp and flattering.

 

We’ve found that spring weddings often carry a quiet intimacy. The kind of atmosphere where conversations linger, and every detail is noticed.

Summer (June–August): Sun-Kissed and Celebratory

 

There’s no denying that summer in Cyprus is radiant — and it’s also the most popular time to marry here. Expect clear skies, minimal rainfall, and temperatures from 28°C to 35°C, especially inland. On the coast, the sea breeze takes the edge off the heat, making beachfront ceremonies entirely possible with good timing.

 

That said, we usually recommend scheduling summer weddings for the late afternoon or early evening. That way, you avoid the peak heat and step right into golden hour — a favourite among photographers for good reason.

 

Summer suits couples who want a celebratory, vibrant atmosphere — music, dancing, and perhaps even a sunset swim. Just bear in mind that July and August are peak tourist months, so it’s wise to plan accommodation and travel well in advance.

Autumn (September–November): Golden Evenings and Gentle Luxury

 

For many couples we work with, autumn is the perfect season to get married in Cyprus. September offers all the warmth of summer, but with a slower pace. The sea remains warm, the beaches are less crowded, and the sunsets grow more dramatic by the week.

 

October, in particular, is a hidden gem: temperatures dip to the mid-20s, and the humidity eases. There’s a calmness in the air, making it ideal for relaxed yet elegant celebrations. Think: villa courtyards strung with lights, wine under the stars, and guests lingering long after the music fades.

 

If you want to feel like you have the island to yourselves — but still enjoy outdoor settings — this may be your season.

Winter (December–February): Quiet, Cosy, and Underrated

 

Winter in Cyprus isn’t what most people expect. Yes, it’s cooler (averaging around 15°C), and some days can be rainy. But it’s also a time of peace — fewer crowds, moody skies, and a chance to create something truly personal.

 

While beach weddings might not be ideal in January, Cyprus still offers striking indoor venues — historical buildings, boutique hotels, and rustic winery estates. We’ve occasionally worked with couples who specifically sought out winter for its stillness. There’s a certain romance to lighting candles, embracing darker colour palettes, and letting the moment feel grounded and close.

 

It’s not for everyone, but for the right pair, a winter wedding here can feel like a well-kept secret.

Choosing Based on Your Vision

 

The “best” time to get married in Cyprus truly depends on what you value most. A few guiding questions can help clarify:

    •    Do you want to be barefoot on a beach or dining under olive trees?

    •    Do you prefer soft pastels or the rich tones of autumn?

    •    Is privacy a priority, or do you love the energy of summer?

 

Each answer leads to a different season. And the beauty is — there’s no wrong choice.
