Hi carole,
Thank you for making our day so special and stress free. The yatch was beautiful and more than big enough to comfortably hold our 50 guests. The tables were decorated to match our bridesmaid dresses and definately has the wow factor as we boarded. We were very impressed with the wedding cake(a beautiful 2 tier chocolate cake) and the variety of food. The DJ played a good mix of music and all our guests enjoyed dancing the night away!
We were very impressed with the photographer. The picture's are perfect and capture the moment, he did a fantastic job and we would like to say a huge thank you...we would be more than happy for you to put them on the website. I would recommend anybody to book their wedding in Turkey through Carole. All our guests had a brilliant time and said it was the best wedding they had been to. Thank you to Carole and your team for making our day so perfect and hassle free.
Hi carole,
Hope you are well.
We just wanted to say thank you so much for our perfect wedding day, it is one that we and all of our guests will never forget. From our first email over a year ago to our actual wedding day on 31st August 2010 we didnt have to worry about a thing as you handled everything and made it all virtually stress free.
We chose the full package and were contacted by you prior to our arrival in Turkey with an appointment to arrange all the legal documentation and we were met on the morning by Theresa and her driver. The journey was arduous but made as comfortable as possible and the day was just a whirlwind of travelling from one place to another with various bits of paperwork.
Good job that Theresa was so efficient and sorted all of that for us as we lost track after a while!! We also chose our cake and flowers with you and saw the yacht on that day too (the pictures do not do it justice), which meant that all we had to do then was look forward to our day.
Our 21 guests and groom were collected in our hotel reception and driven to the yacht where they were shown aboard and given bottles of cool water. The bride and bridesmaids followed 15 minutes later in a beautifully decorated car driven by the captain. The boat looked amazing with the matt gold colour that we had chosen to match the embroidery on the bridesmaids dresses and the bridal bouquet was even better than we envisaged (white lillies).
The wedding vows were read in both Turkish and English and were so beautiful that we and most of our guests were moved to tears!
Following the champagne toast and lots of photos with a backdrop of the most amazing sunset and breathtaking views, we went through and took our tables for the reception. Again the attention to detail was faultless with a little dainty parcel of Turkish delight at every place setting.
The food was wonderful with fish, chicken and steak, along with various pasta, potato and fresh salads and most of our guests including ourselves went for second helpings. Our 5 year old daughter helped herself to a whole sea bass and ate the lot!
We had booked the singer, Tom Moss and we can honestly say that he was fantastic and filled the dance floor with both young and old (and the bride!) for the whole duration of his set. He was worth every penny and more and set the mood for the whole night. When he sang You raise me up by Westlife and the mast lit up it was pure magic, and as we gazed upward it seemed that every star in the sky was out that night.
The cake was chosen by picture shortly before the wedding day but when it appeared in reality it was beyond our expectations and tasted delicious. We went for the chocolate option which is highly recommended and enjoyed by all of our guests.
Once the singer had finished, we rounded off the night with a disco which was fantastic. Also none of our guests had to worry about money for drinks as they just went to the bar and asked for whatever they wanted. We disembarked at midnight and were taken home via coach to our hotel. All of our guests were in total agreement that it was the best wedding that they have ever attended.
We were amazed to receive our wedding album and DVD along with another DVD packed with gorgeous photos from our night by lunchtime the next day!
Our guests are still talking about our wedding day today, nearly 2 months on, with the DVD still being played in every household on a regular basis.
Carole, you and your team are professional without being impersonal and we would (and have) recommended you to everyone we know who is thinking of getting married. Our only regret is that we cant do it all again but are already thinking of renewing our vows
maybe once a year!
We wish you all the best for the future.
Love

We were not disappointed with our beach wedding in Turkey at all. You are in safe hands with Carole and her team. Believe me, I was nervous about organising a wedding in a country I am not familiar with but you get what you are promised from Carole and weddings.
The lagoon beach setting is absolutely perfect, with the mountains surrounding you, the quiet waters, gorgeous sandy beach - you can't get better. The registrar, although Turkish and not able to do the ceremony in English, was a really lovely lady, and the ceremony still felt very special and genuine. The translator was very well spoken, looked lovely for the occasion (she is in the pictures!) and the words of the ceremony were truly meaningful and memorable.
The reception was great, I was particularly impressed with the layout of the tables, which looked great in the sunset, and the table decorations that are Carole's own are tastefully done. We did add some of our own decorations but the combined result was beautiful. Nerves got the better of us and we didn't eat much food but what we did eat was lovely. If you like fish, go for the sea bass as its cooked beautifully. Our guests reported that they enjoyed the food very much.
Our trip to Antalya was also very, very well orchestrated. It is a busy day with many stops but you are in safe hands with the staff operating this part of the procedure like clockwork. Beware though, their own advice not to take children with you is very true. We thankfully didn't have to take our three children but if we did, the day would have been exhausting for everyone!!
This wedding was personalised, and such great value for money. There is no way you could get this kind of setting for the price anywhere in the UK, that is for sure. And so much better than some of the travel agent options where I have heard of horrendous experiences.
If we had to do it all again, we would still do it with Carole on the beach, except I wouldn't be nervous and would try take in every second!
I would also like to recommend the hair and beauty salon that Carole uses. The couple who own the place are truly lovely, and nothing is too much for them to do. Very good quality of work from all the staff, I had eyebrow threading and eyelash extensions and they were don't really well.
I have recommended Carole weddings to many people since our special day, and will continue to do so. Well done Carole, not an easy job but you make it look that way!
