At Liopetro, we understand that the layout of your wedding reception plays a crucial role in creating a seamless and memorable celebration. Depending on whether you choose to host your ceremony in the Aphrodite Circle, Zeus Square, Adonis Gardens, or off-site at the 12th Century Church Panagia Odigitri, our team is here to help you make the most of our space.
Thoughtful placement of the dance floor, tables, stage, and bar will enhance the flow of the evening, ensuring your guests feel comfortable and engaged throughout. With our expertise and beautifully designed venue, we’ll work with you to create a setting that is both inviting and effortlessly organised, bringing your vision to life.
The key to a well-designed reception is a carefully planned layout that balances both comfort and atmosphere. Ensuring there is ample space between tables for guests to move freely and for seamless service is essential, but just as important is creating a warm, intimate setting that doesn’t feel too spread out or overly formal. Striking this balance is what brings your reception to life, making it feel both inviting and effortlessly elegant.
Where to start
The first step in planning your special day is choosing the perfect setting for your ceremony. Do you envision saying your vows with the stunning Mediterranean Sea as your backdrop in the enchanting Aphrodite Circle? Or perhaps you’re drawn to the fairytale romance of Zeus Square? Those seeking a timeless, historic atmosphere may prefer our beautiful 12th-century church. Once you’ve selected your ceremony space, we can then guide you in choosing the ideal locations for your cocktail reception and wedding breakfast, ensuring a seamless flow throughout your celebration.
Determine your number of guests
The size of your guest list will play a crucial part in determining the perfect venue space for your seated dining reception. For larger celebrations with over 120 guests, the breathtaking Aphrodite Circle is the ideal choice. If your guest count is under 120, Zeus Square offers a beautifully romantic setting. For more intimate gatherings of 50-70 guests, you also have the charming options of our Secret Garden and historic Stone Building, each offering a unique and elegant atmosphere to suit your vision.
Setting the stage
Once you have your guest numbers and reception venue spaces selected, the next crucial consideration is the entertainment you wish to include in your evening celebrations. Whether you’re envisioning a photobooth, live band, bouncy castle, or traditional Cypriot dancers, it’s essential to plan the layout carefully. Ensuring there is ample space for the dancefloor and performance area while allowing guests to mingle comfortably will create an enjoyable atmosphere without compromising on flow and efficiency.
Selecting the tables
Now for the exciting part! Using our interactive scaled floor plan alongside our expert team, you can design your ideal table arrangement and carefully plan where each guest will be seated. This tool automatically generates your guest table list, making it easy to share with your décor and signage vendors for seamless creation of your seating chart and place cards. You’ll also be able to manage RSVPs, track seat allocations at each table, and monitor overall availability. Plus, you can even send a personalised SMS welcome message to your guests before they arrive on your big day, ensuring a warm and well-organised celebration.
Tip: Begin by arranging the head table and seating for your immediate family members. Reserve the tables closest to you for your nearest and dearest, ensuring they have the best view of the celebrations. Older guests should be seated slightly further from the band or speakers for their comfort, while your friends can be placed in the livelier sections—after all, they’ll likely spend more time on the dance floor than at their seats!
Once your ceremony and reception venues are finalised, selecting the perfect spot for your cocktail reception becomes much simpler. Consider a location that’s centrally situated between the two spaces, or our most popular choice, the Adonis Gardens. This allows your guests to mingle, sit, and relax in the shaded area while we prepare for the evening’s celebrations.
