Hello,



im hoping somebody could provide me with some advice on where would be best to hold a wedding reception in protaras.



i am getting married in the sunrise beach hotel next year ,and am having difficulty deciding as i have never been there.



Even some restaurant ratings would be good as this could help me decide.



many thanks

Hey, Colin, help us out a bit... what kind of place you looking for? Traditional Cypriot? Cheap? Classy? How many people? Many kids?





And search this forum... there%26#39;s been quite a few recent posts on this subject.

Hi Angela,



im looking for something averagly priced , to cater for around 19 adults and one child.



Some thing a bit special would be good and i would not mind paying a little extra for it.



Cheers for your reply,



Colin.

I got married on August 3rd 2006 at paralimni town hall booked a restaurant the day before the wedding at yianna marie it was absolutely stunning. Leon the owner was fantastic we had 21 guests including children. Our menu consisted of 10 extremely stunning dishes each. salad, fresh cream and garlic mushrooms, potatoes, fillet steak, chicken breast in sauce, fresh salmon pasta we got to about 7-8 dishes and had to ask them to stop bringing anymore out as we were all so full lots of different types of mezes available. We were overlooking the sea watching boats etc glide past. We were under a canopy it was set out beautifully cake on seperate table with champagne in bucket and flowers. Big fan on us as well because it was about45 degrees. Free childrens meals and shots. It was like eating at a michelin star restaurant but 10 times better. And after drinking our way through 10 bottles of champagne and lots of beer,lager, shorts, coke etc it came to a massive 500 pounds. Unbelievable scenery, setting, food and outstanding service.

Hi, we got married at Ayia Napa Town Hall on 24 April this year and had our wedding reception at Yianna Marie restaurant. The day was absolutely stunning and the reception was perfect. Leo, the restaurant manager couldn%26#39;t have been more helpful. We went to see him a couple of days before the wedding and went through all our requirements. There were loads of sample menus to choose from including Greek Mezes through to English/Continental menus. Kids just choose from kids menu. We decided that we would like our guests to have a choice of meals over 4 courses and Leo had the menus printed up ready for the big day. We were also able to arrange balloons and flowers for decoration, champagne etc through him and our wedding Co-ordinator (Thomas Cook) arranged for the cake to be delivered there. We could either sit outside or inside depending on the weather but Leo left it until the day to decide. As it happened, there was a bit of wind so we sat inside which was lovely and also very private. The service was fabulous and it felt like a real wedding event and not at all like we had just plumped for any old restaurant for a meal. the place looked beaultiful with the balloons we had chosen. The only downside was that we had to pay for hire of white table cloths, which although not at all expensive (£1 each or something) just surprised us that they didn%26#39;t have a stock as they do quite a lot of weddings.



We had a party of 25 in total (17 adults and 8 children) of all ages including a family of vegetarians and all were well catered for. In addition to all of the wonderful food, we had 3 bottles of Moet Chandon for toasting, 10 bottles of house wine (white and red) which I have to say was very nice, drinks for kids, loads of beer and spirits over 5 hours. For the whole lot, food, drink, balloons and Tablecloths the bill came to CYP£620 which we thought was a bargain.



The setting was gorgeous as you look out over a grassy hill leading to the golden beach with the blue med beyond. When we first arrived after the wedding ceremony and photographs, all of the guests were already there and we were introduced and then taken onto the lawn to cut our wedding cake and glasses of Champagne. it was perfect and if i could do it again, i wouldn%26#39;t change a thing.





P.S. Don%26#39;t know whether you%26#39;ve had your wedding yet but if not, try and arrange to have your photographs taken at Ayia Napa monastry, it%26#39;s a beatiful honey coloured stone place and our photos are stunning.



good Luck
