Ayia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa
Why not consider the lovely old church of Ayia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa, Kato Paphos (the Church by St. Paul’s Pillar), situated in the grounds of an Early Christian Basilica, for the big day?
Most importantly this Church has easy access for wheelchairs and can easily accommodate large wedding parties up to and in excess of one hundred guests.

Chapel of St. George
Maybe you would wish to get married somewhere more modern, if so, why not think about the Chapel of St. George in the grounds of the St. George Hotel, Chlorakas?
Please note that this chapel has at least a dozen steps to negotiate and is not suitable for wheelchair access and it is not possible to use ramps. There is seating for twenty-four and the Chapel only comfortably accommodates a total of 36 persons (this number includes the primary wedding party).

If you are getting married in Ayia Kyriaki accompanying hymns and/or music is by arrangement with our Director of Music Paul Timmins, we can also provide a choir and soloist if required.
For those getting married at St. George's Chapel please note that music is normally by CD, if you wish Paul to play there is an extra charge and music will be played on an electronic keyboard.
Paul can be contacted on +357 97 796503 or through the Church Office
