How to Make Informed Choices for Your Perfect Day
When planning a wedding in Cyprus, a well-chosen package can save you time, reduce stress, and help bring your vision to life. Yet we’ve seen how easy it is for couples to make decisions that don’t quite fit their needs—often because certain details were overlooked in the excitement of planning.
At Eva Event Agency, we believe that every couple deserves a celebration that truly reflects them. Over the years, we’ve noticed recurring pitfalls when couples choose wedding packages, whether for a beach ceremony, a symbolic exchange of vows in a villa courtyard, or a grand hotel reception. By being aware of these mistakes, you can avoid disappointment and ensure that your wedding day is as seamless and memorable as possible.

1. Not Defining Priorities Early
One of the most common mistakes is choosing a package without first deciding what matters most to you. Some couples focus heavily on the venue and overlook the importance of photography or videography, while others prioritise decor but forget to factor in essential services such as professional hair and make-up.
Defining your priorities early helps you compare packages more effectively. For example, if capturing your day is vital, you might prefer a package that includes an extended photography session and a highlight video. If privacy is key, a villa wedding package might be more suitable than a hotel or public beach option.

2. Assuming “All-Inclusive” Means Everything You Need
An “all-inclusive” wedding package can sound like it covers absolutely everything, but this isn’t always the case. It may include the basics—venue hire, officiant, a bouquet, and a simple cake—yet still leave out important extras such as transportation, evening entertainment, or a private dinner party after the ceremony.
Carefully review the list of inclusions and check for hidden costs. For example, does the package include the full legal process if you’re having a civil ceremony? Are there additional fees for sunset ceremonies or weekend dates? Clarifying these details upfront can save both money and stress.

3. Overlooking Venue Atmosphere and Practicalities
It’s easy to fall in love with photos of a venue without considering how it will feel on the day. Will the location be private enough, or will tourists be walking by during your vows? Does the space have shelter in case of unexpected weather? Is it accessible for anyone in your party who may have mobility concerns?
When choosing a wedding package, think beyond the images and imagine the experience. A secluded clifftop might offer incredible views but may require extra arrangements for catering or music. A hotel terrace might be convenient but could feel less intimate if your vision is for a private, romantic ceremony.

4. Ignoring the Flexibility of the Package
Some couples commit to a package without asking how much it can be customised. While packages are designed to simplify the planning process, a good one should still allow for adjustments—whether that’s upgrading floral arrangements, extending photography hours, or swapping the included dinner for a more elaborate celebration.
If flexibility is important, choose a package that’s more of a starting point rather than a fixed, unchangeable plan. This way, you can still personalise your celebration while benefiting from the structure a package provides.

5. Not Reviewing Portfolios and Reviews
Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it’s worth taking the time to see the actual work of the professionals included in your package. Request a portfolio from your photographer and videographer, and read reviews from previous couples.
A strong portfolio gives you a clear idea of the style and quality you can expect. Reviews can reveal how reliable, responsive, and professional the team is in real wedding situations. These insights help ensure that the services included in your package align with your expectations.

Avoiding These Mistakes for a Stress-Free Celebration
By taking the time to clarify your priorities, read the fine print, assess the venue beyond the photos, ask about flexibility, and review actual work, you can choose a wedding package that truly suits your needs. This approach helps you avoid last-minute surprises and ensures your celebration feels authentic and well-planned.
Cyprus offers a wealth of beautiful venues and well-designed wedding packages—from intimate elopements for two to larger gatherings in scenic hotels or villas. The key is finding the one that feels right for you, balancing convenience with personal touches that make the day truly yours.
