Marry Me Suppliers
Curated supplier directory · Cyprus
suppliers.marrymecyprus.co.uk
The brief
Couples planning from abroad cannot meet suppliers, and the usual answer — a PDF of recommendations, or a list of names to research individually — puts the work back on them. The planner needed a way to present a curated roster with real pricing, so couples could assemble a realistic budget themselves instead of arriving at a number they had not expected.
What we built
We built a browsable directory of the planner’s vetted suppliers, organised by the categories couples actually shop in, with pricing published rather than withheld. It runs on its own subdomain as part of the Marry Me Cyprus estate, sharing the brand and the underlying supplier data with the planning portal so a price shown to a couple is the same price used in their quote.
What Each Part Does
Eleven supplier categories
Photography and film, fresh flowers, hair and makeup, entertainment, DJs, celebrants, transport, bridal suites, pyrotechnics, kids’ entertainment and extras — each with its own browsable route.
Transparent pricing
Costs published against suppliers so couples can build a realistic budget before they enquire, rather than after.
Curated, not open
A vetted roster rather than a paid listing directory — the value is the planner’s judgement about who is actually good.
Shared supplier model
The same structured supplier records used by the private planning portal, so directory pricing and quote pricing cannot drift apart.
Subdomain of the main brand
Served from suppliers.marrymecyprus.co.uk, keeping the directory clearly part of the planning business rather than a separate site.

How it was built
- Suppliers and categories are stored as records — a form filled in for each supplier — rather than pages built by hand, so adding a florist or changing a price is a short edit instead of a job that has to come back to us. The photographs and the wording still have to come from the planner; what this takes out is the developer, not the writing.
- Supplier photographs are saved in a newer image format that holds the same picture in a much smaller file. That matters most on a category page, which loads a photograph for every supplier on it — a couple browsing on a phone will give up before a slow page finishes.
- The directory has its own address beneath the main brand — suppliers.marrymecyprus.co.uk — and Google treats an address like that as a site in its own right. It has to build its own standing in search rather than inheriting the main site's, so it is slower to get going. In return, the supplier pages can be found for supplier searches without competing against the wedding-planning pages for the same ones.
- This directory, the main Marry Me Cyprus site and the private planning portal are built from one shared set of colours, typefaces and building blocks — the buttons, cards and headings used across all three. A brand change is made once instead of three times, and the next build for the same business starts from what already exists rather than from scratch, which is less work to pay for.
