I am looking for feedback from anybody that can help.

I am preparing to move to Cyprus (as I love the country so much) and set up a business as a wedding planner to help others to enjoy their own special experience. My main target would be the UK market.

Are there any girls that are out there that would be interested in such a service? Is there anybody that could give me any feedback or any advice would be appreciated?

Nitsa, if you have a look in the Cyprus Tourism section http://www.cyprus-forum.com/viewforum.php?f=7 then there are 3 posts of weddings in Cyprus, so I am sure that a planner to cater for the UK market will work very well. Somebody to do all the running around and organising for them to save them any worries. Personally speaking, I think its a great idea.

This industry has a lot of space to grow. The earlier you come and get established the better. The demand for such services is definitely much higher than the supply right now.

Hi nitsa!

I think it's a really cool service.
My friend is planning to marry soon.
Do you deal only with, let's say, usual weddings or you are able to organize something special?
How much will it cost to hire a planner?

Hi Olga,

I'm glad you think this service would work. My services would incorporate anything the couple would like for their big day, therefore depends how spectacular they want their wedding to be. As for prices, I am still in the research stages but being an up and coming new company they will be very justifiable and competitive. Maybe, you could inform your friend about me and whether she would be interested!

ok, now plase don't think me too pessimistic, but really... why would anyone get married?

It's a (mainly) religious cermony, which lots of people are not.

It's just a peice of paper which can be undone (and over 50% of the time it is).

It means that both parties can stop trying and just be together because they have signed a piece of paper.

It costs thousands of pounds, which I would rather spend on a property or travelling.

On top of all that, I really do not need a piece of paper or a great big ceremony to tell my partner that I love her (or him if that's your thing), so please someone tell me why we persist with this outdated thing called marriage?

Now as I said, I am not a pessimist, far from it. I love my partner, but we are happy because we know we love each other, and a piece of paper and a ceremony for all our family and friends (it would be for them more than the couple) is just not needed. We can (and may even have) a party for those people who are obsessed with marriage, but as for me and my partner, we are happy without the bleep that is marriage.

yes yes I know.. it is only my opinion.. I do not raise the point to put a dampener on business plans, I only make my point to raise awareness that marriage is maybe getting less important in the modern world?

ok.. If you are gettng married soon.. have a great day! You should if it costs you about 10 20 or 30 grand!! I guarantee that it will have lots of problems (I say this having been a mobile DJ for many years and having 5 sisters... )

Maybe I am a pessimist!! Any alternate views?

Lots of people are not, but in Cyprus the 95% are religious.

It costs thousands of pounds, which I would rather spend on a property or travelling.

Again in Cyprus this is different. The wedding will cost some thousands, but the guests will be several thousands each one bringing an envelop with 10,20 or more pounds in it. Many people can buy a car or even a home from the money they get in their wedding.

Other than that I agree with you in general. However what about children? I think being married makes children more secure. In this case the contract is needed since there are other people involved not just the couple.
