Planning your special day is one of the most exciting experiences to go through. However with so much to arrange from dress fittings, ring shopping, cake decoration and song choices, we have helped compile a complete list of our frequently asked questions to help you with the planning process. As always we are here ready and waiting to help.

Who do you use for photography? We work alongside two experienced and professional photography and videography teams that you are able to select from. Both of our photography teams are experienced with weddings here at the Cavo Zoe, the flow of the day, and the best areas of the hotel in order to capture the most amazing photography and videography for you to treasure forever. All offer candid style photography, which means less directed and more naturally beautiful in the moment shots. There are several packages to select from depending on whether you wish to have your ceremony footage captured, or the complete days events right up until the cake cutting and the first dance.

Do we have music at the ceremony? We certainly do provide music at your ceremony. We of course have several fantastic musicians that we work alongside who can play you down the aisle such as a sensational Harpist, Scottish Piper, or a Saxophonist. For any links to our musicians please contact us for links to their performances. You are also very welcome to bring your own music to us on a USB. We kindly ask that your songs are in an MP3 format for them to work on our music system. We require 3 songs for the following highlights to your ceremony; - Bride Walking Down the Aisle - Signing the Register - Confetti

What flowers can I order? Due to the warm climate that Cyprus brings, many flower types do not grow naturally here. Rest assured however that we are able to import almost any flower type from abroad, provided the flowers are within season. Therefore please feel absolutely free to forage for images over the internet of the bouquet and buttonhole styles that you like and send them over to us. It is most likely that our florist is able to replicate your design or provide a close similar alternative. We can do the same for fresh floral arches, beautiful centerpieces, chair décor, aisle runners and all other flower arrangements.

How many people can be seated for the ceremony? The Amâni can cater for up to 200 persons for the ceremony. We set the chairs theatre style so that everyone is able to see you exchange your vows against that incredible sea view back-drop. How many people can be seated for a banquet? The Amâni can cater for up to 200 persons for the banquet. This is with a round table setup . Venue Hire The venue hire is inclusive of the venue setup, including tables, chairs, table linen an also the staff required in order to cater your event. The beautiful fairy lights are also inclusive within the venue hire fee.

What types of ceremonies are you able to offer? We are able to offer a civil ceremony (non-religious legal ceremony,) a religious ceremony using the Anglican Church, a Symbolic ceremony (non-legal celebration) or local weddings within the church located just off property, Agios Andreas Chapel. For legal ceremonies we will advise you as to what documentation that you require, and it is absolutely essential that this is bought with you in order for your wedding to take place. The municipality fees, vary from the Anglican fess and the celebrants’ fees, so we can advise you as to the relevant fees for the ceremony type that you are looking for. How can I check availability with the church? If you are wanting a Greek Orthodox Wedding in Agios Andreas Chapel, then we can happily help check availability for your selected date. We will then put you in touch with the priest directly upon booking in order to discuss the service in greater depth. 2 Vows What are the vows? For civil ceremonies you will be required to say mandatory vows to each other which can either be repeated by yourselves from the marriage officer. You are also in addition most welcome to say your own short vows to make your ceremony more personal to you. For the other ceremony types, you are able to personalise your ceremony with your designated officer of whom we will put you in direct contact with.

Where will my Drinks Reception be held? Drinks receptions are advised to be booked in order to allow the transformation between your ceremony setup and your banqueting setup. They last for approximately one hour, but can be extended if you would prefer. We have a beautiful area to host your Drinks Reception on our beautiful veranda area with the most amazing view out to sea. The venue hire for your Drinks Reception is complimentary. Do I need canapés? It is by no means a necessary requirement to have canapés at your Drinks Reception, but it is advisory to do so. The Drinks Reception is the perfect place for your guests to mingle over a cocktail or two, and a light bite will help tide them over until dinner time. Do I need a drinks package? You do require a drinks package throughout your Drinks Reception in order to ensure that your guests remain hydrated on either alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks during this time. With several options to choose from including cocktail packages, packages inclusive of sparkling wine, or those inclusive of premium spirits we are certain that you will find the package most suited to you. What entertainment do I need at my Drinks Reception? It is always a lovely addition having entertainment at any point throughout your day. The Drinks Reception suits a Saxophonist or a Singer perfectly, to keep your guests entertained throughout this time. Entertainment is not a necessity however should your guests prefer to chat and mingle, there will be a playlist played at an atmospheric level to create a lovely ambiance.

Where do I cut my cake? You are most welcome to cut the cake where you feel most suits your needs. Traditionally a cake is cut in the evening alongside the first dance and then sliced and handed out to guests immediately. However you may like to consider doing this throughout your Drinks Reception instead. What we can offer is an incredible backdrop for your cake to be displayed and we know that your photographer will be here at this time for sure, so you are guaranteed photos of such a special moment. 3 What style of cake do I receive for the prices in the brochure? The brochure offers three options; one tier, two tier and three tier wedding cakes. You are able to choose from either a naked cake, a semi-naked cake, a plain cake with royal icing or a plain cake with soft icing for this price. Can I select different flavours for each tier? You most certainly can, each tier can have its own flavour and you have a huge variety to select from as displayed within our brochure.

Which menu would be more suited to me? Kindly be advised that our menus are either buffet style or plate service. Our buffet menus are priced for the minimum of forty persons and therefore if you are less than this number the minimum charge of forty persons will apply. For our plate service menus, we can cater these for up to forty persons, but not exceed this number. We have four delicious buffet style menus to select from and four plate style menus. Can you cater for allergy requirements? We certainly can cater for any special requests or dietary requirements. Please contact the Events Manager who will happily discuss your requirements with the chef in order to tailor your menu accordingly.

What entertainment can I have in the evening? Our most popular option by far at this point of the day is to hire a DJ. We work alongside a fantastic DJ who will liaise with you during the build up to your special day, in order to ensure that you are all up and on the Dancefloor. In addition to this we can offer a huge variety from the saxophonist, caricature artist or even the traditional Cyprus Dancers. Please do let us know what you would be looking to include and we will advise you on who we work alongside for you to be able to check out their work accordingly. Kindly note that all entertainment suppliers must be booked via the hotel, and cannot be sourced directly. What time can we party until? Our venue is available until 23:30. At this point we are required to turn off the music and the bar service will also close. We plan your timings around the finish time in order to ensure that you still have a lengthy party with plenty of time on the Dancefloor. Unfortunately this time cannot be extended due to legal parameters that we must comply with. If you would like further information on how your day will flow, and the timings in greater detail, then please do contact the Events Manager at any time.

What drinks are available to me? We have a selection of packages that should be able to cater your every need subjective to the types of drinks that you wish to include on your evening. We also offer Prosecco, Champagne and Gin bars for a completely interactive and unique experience allowing your guests to “pimp their prosecco” or “let the party be-Gin.” This can be timed perfectly with speeches so you have something to toast with. Do I need to Hire “Red Rum” Mobile Bar? Red Rum is a beautiful addition to any wedding day. An instagrammable converted horse cart that can serve your chosen drinks package. Whilst this is absolutely amazing as a purpose built bar, and perfect for those extra special photo opportunities, if you wasn’t to hire this, the alternative would be a pop up bar that is placed in the venue, so you will receive something regardless.

How can I prepare my seating plan? The hotel will provide round tables for your guests to be seated. Each round table is able to seat up to ten persons, but for parties where it allows, it is best to try and not exceed ten to allow for plenty of elbow room. You are also able to have a long top table in addition for the Bridal Party as per tradition. Please ask the Events Manager for a template for you to plan your own. Do you provide name places or seating plans? The hotel unfortunately doesn’t have the facility to be able to provide name places. We do however work alongside a fantastic supplier who is able to cater to all of your stationary needs and in addition deliver them to the hotel so you do not need to worry about transporting this with you. Please ask the Events Manager for further details.

What lighting is provided at the Amâni at night? If you book a DJ then they will bring their own disco style lighting in addition to help get the party started. The venue lighting is enhanced dramatically with the inclusion of fairy light curtains, turning the venue into a fairy-tale style setting. The addition of a 8ft heart arch or MR & MRS lights also provide the perfect backdrop for some sensational photography.

Do I need to be a resident of the hotel to be able to hold my event there? Although it of course offers complete convenience for you to be staying at the same location as to where your event will be held, it is not a necessary requirement that you stay at the hotel for your special day. As a very special offer we do provide a complimentary stay for the wedding couple on the night of the wedding for you to relax and enjoy after the event. Do my guests require a Non-Residents day pass to attend the Event if they stay elsewhere? We welcome all guests into the hotel, regardless of where they choose to stay with no Non-Resident Day Pass being required to purchase. They are counted in your final guest numbers and your wedding quotation will be priced per person for food and drinks. How long do I need to stay in Cyprus before my wedding? You will require at least one working day in order to be able to visit the town hall to perform your declaration appointment for legal weddings. We do however advise an absolute minimum of three days as you will be busy finalising details with us, meeting your photographer, hair and make-up trials etc. Please do advise the Events Manager of your holiday information at your earliest opportunity so that we can assist in making all of your necessary appointments for you. We can also arrange transportation to and from your declaration appointment at the town hall for you upon request.

Am I able to use my own suppliers? You are very welcome to source your own suppliers with the exception of photography and entertainment, both of which must be sourced by the hotel. We do however pride ourselves for the suppliers that we work alongside with all of these being contracted to us based on their high quality products and services. We know that our suppliers are reliable and also familiar with the hotel in order to ensure that your event goes smoothly.

Is the venue private? As a hotel, naturally there will be other guests staying in the hotel on the day of your event. With this being said, the location of the venue in accordance to the pools, bar or restaurants within the hotel, is distanced enough away so that you can enjoy the area completely exclusively. The Amâni is tucked away on the lower ground floor of the hotel, in its own corner, and split over two levels – the upper deck and the lower deck, and an additional area is provided underneath the huge wooden structure (Kalifi.) This area can be used both for ceremonies or as the dancefloor in the evening.
