A civil wedding with a Jewish ceremony

In Cyprus, legally recognised marriages take place through a civil ceremony at the municipality or local authority. Many couples choose to combine their civil wedding with a Reform Jewish ceremony, adding depth, tradition and personal meaning to this significant moment. The ceremony is tailored specifically for you, weaving Jewish tradition together with your story, values and choices.

We accompany couples from around the world in creating a personal, egalitarian and moving ceremony. You can choose a ceremony led by a Reform rabbi or by an experienced ceremony officiant, in Hebrew, English or Russian. The ceremony can include a chuppah, ketubah, exchange of rings, Sheva Brachot, breaking of the glass, blessings from family members and any other elements you wish, to create an unforgettable experience that stays with you for life.

Who Can Officiate The Ceremony?

A Reform Jewish wedding ceremony honours Jewish tradition while allowing you to create a meaningful, personal, and inclusive celebration. The couple is at the heart of the ceremony, with the freedom to exchange rings, choose the blessings, involve family and friends, and shape a ceremony that reflects their values, beliefs, and unique love story.

Reform rabbi

We work with Reform rabbis from Israel and across Europe, depending on availability. Every ceremony is carefully crafted with you, getting to know your story and creating a celebration that blends Jewish tradition with a warm, inclusive, and egalitarian approach.

Ceremony officiant

If you are not looking for a rabbinical ceremony, you can choose an experienced officiant who creates a Jewish, personal and moving experience.
