Terra Santa Catholic ChurchTerra Santa Catholic Church
Roman Catholic Church weddings are available in the Terra Santa Roman Catholic Church in Larnaca, which is an exceptionally beautiful venue.
Weddings can only be arranged if the bride or groom have NOT previously been married. You must inform your local parish priest of your intent to marry overseas and he will need to view both party's birth certificates. You must ask for a pre-marital enquiry/ freedom to marry, and request that this, together with your baptism records, be sent to your regional Bishop. Once your regional Bishop is in receipt of these papers he will forward them on to the Vicar General in Cyprus. The address will be supplied.
Weddings can take place Monday to Friday. Charges for the Terra Santa Catholic Church service are by donation only (recommended donation is around €300).
Irish passport holders only:
The government requires that you also obtain a "Certificat de Coutume" from the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Ireland. This is a special document issued by the government stating that you have never been married before and are therefore free to contract a marriage. This document is valid for 120 days from the date of issue.
Note: For all Catholic Church weddings, the religious service must be preceded by a registry office ceremony. This does not necessarily have to be done on the same day, the choice is yours.
