2009

Hi Carole Hope your well sorry it’s taken a bit to get back to you were just getting back on our feet with a new house and Christmas ect!I've included some pictures which we're really pleased with and are really happy to be part of your website! It’s nice to show people what a good job you guys done at giving us the perfect day! Warm Regards Kimberley Ahmet!! xx "My husband and I would 100% recommend getting married in Fethiye! At first we may have been apprehensive but Carole was really helpful, emailing us in response to any questions we had! Having not visited this part of Turkey before made it quite nerve racking when planning our boat wedding, however the information on the website along with the correspondence from Carole and her staff simply meant we couldn't have been in better hands! Initially we did actually look at booking our wedding through a tour operator, but they seemed to have minimal information compared to "weddingsturkey.com"! Everything was planned perfectly from the moment we arrived. Carole arranges all the legal stuff which includes a journey to the British Consulate (followed by a visit to the florists and to pick our wedding cake). You'd expect this to be a tedious day, considering it was a 4 hour drive to Antalya. However it was very comfortable as their driver/guide (Anne) are British, so we felt at ease with everything as it was totally under control, and she was a great driver! We visited the boat a few days before our ceremony couldn't believe how lovely it looked and even better on the day when it was decorated to match our theme. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their whole experience, claiming that not only was it the best food they had during their holiday, but also how it had changed their opinion about weddings abroad. The whole day flew by and went very smoothly; Carole arranged allocated times for photographs, speeches, first dance, cutting the cake, throwing of the bouquet and then of course the party! A few days after we met Carole to receive our wedding album which is gorgeous, as well as a CD of photographs and DVD video which we were very pleased with. Overall our boat wedding was more than we could have wished for and we had the best day of our lives! Thanks for giving us the dream wedding Carole x x" 15th September

Hi Carole Chris and I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help and for making the Renewing of our Wedding Vows so special. From booking the day with you right to the end of our holiday, you were fantastic and offered us a first class service. Any questions were answered either by email or phone promptly before we flew out and we felt at ease knowing that you had everything in-hand. We met you once we’d arrived in the resort and we were able to confirm the last few details face-to-face and also select our menu for the day. The phone you gave us was so handy and useful in case we had any last minute questions. On arrival at the boat, we were breath-taken ! The boat looked amazing with all of the decorated tables in our chosen colour and all of our family were so impressed at how beautiful it looked. To be honest they haven’t stopped talking about it and my Father-In-Law keeps saying it was ‘like something out of a magazine’ ! The photographer and DVD man were never intruding and the result was hundreds of fabulous pictures and a stunning DVD that has been watched plenty of times. The pictures were so natural and beautiful that they made great presents for our family members and we have several enlargements on our walls. It was great that the pictures and DVD were ready for us when we came off our boat trip 2 days later – such a fantastic service. The bottles of water you handed out to everyone on our arrival were such a lovely and much needed thought! The food we were served was fantastic and we can honestly say, one of the best meals we had in Turkey – especially the pasta and potato salad. We danced the night away to the sounds of your DJ and had a fabulous night that we will remember forever. The crew on the boat were so friendly and welcoming and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending your services to anyone. You helped make our day so special and our guests had an amazing time celebrating with us on such a beautiful boat in an unbelievable setting. Thank you so much Michelle and Chris Short Michelle.Short1@ntlworld.com 6th July

We got married on the 'Carole Ann' yacht on September 21st 2009. We had seen the boat decorated for a wedding on our previous trip to Fethiye and it looked so gorgeous that we cancelled our church wedding in England in order to do things a little bit more special, and we were certainly not disappointed. From our first contact, Carole was extremely helpful, every aspect of the wedding was organized for us, which made everything very smooth and calm for us. It is difficult when both of you are working full time to organize wedding, but there was no stress at all. Carole has done the organizing hundreds of times so every detail had been thought about and dealt with very professionally. We had seen adverts by holiday companies and other local Turkish agencies sometimes offering to undercut the price but I am so glad that we weren't tempted to change. Because as Carole is English she understands what British couples want and expect from their wedding day, which perhaps, others may not. The paperwork, which sounds daunting, was a breeze - again due to Carole and her friendly helpful team. I really can't stress enough the importance of having someone with you who knows how the system works - we have heard some horror stories from people who have tried to organize things for themselves in Turkey. Our wedding day was absolutely the best time of our lives- there were 50 of us on the yacht and ALL of our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to - they are still talking about how fantastic it was and its now 4 months on. The staff were brilliant, the ceremony was really moving with lots of tears, the registrar was lovely and the belly dancer was fabulous - a definite must at a wedding in Turkey. It truly was the best day ever and we wouldn't change a thing about it. I highly recommend Carole and her great team and we are currently trying to sort out a trip to Fethiye for our anniversary so that we can go onto the 'Carole Ann' again.

We would like to thank Carole and her team for the perfect wedding day that we will never forget. From my first email until the end of our holiday Carole was at hand to organise and reassure. Our venue (beach location) was decorated beautifully and every detail was taken care of by Carole. From the beginning of our ceremony to the end of the night our guests and ourselves were looked after and nothing was too much trouble. The dvd and photo's were also amazing and such good value for money along with the whole wedding package. I would highly recommend using the hairdresser recommended by Carole, she was lovely and did exactly what we asked for. Lastly the food and the wedding cake were delicious!
