Hi Carole , We would like to say a big thank you for our fantastic wedding day...we couldn't have asked for better, it really was perfect. Honestly, when we started looking at getting married abroad I had no idea where to start. We had never been to this part of Turkey before but after reading countless positive reviews we decided to contact you. I am so glad we did! It started from there, a simple email asking what dates were free for our planned time abroad. You responded quickly to every question I had big or small throughout, nothing seemed too much trouble. It seemed too easy at times!!! There wasn't much planning needed from our end as it was all done for us and to be truthfull I felt more stress organising a party in the UK for when we returned. The day trip to Antalya was tiresome but was made very pleasant by our chaperone who made sure we were comfortable, stopping for breaks on the way. The only tip I can give is to take a cardigan or jacket because of the early morning it felt rather cold. We were worried about the language barrier but he did all the work and before we knew it we had done everything needed and was on the way to meet you. As soon as we met you at the venue, we immediately felt at ease, going through everything and being handed a mobile phone in case we needed to contact you. I have to say my "husband" was nervous about the ceremony but after speaking to you he said he felt at ease. I was worried about my hair as I had a particular style in mind that I had trialed here in the UK. You recommended Goldfinger Hair salon (british hairstylists) for our hair and nails etc. They were fabulous accommodating myself, six bridesmaids and six extras that originally weren't booked in. They made us feel at ease, ordered pizza and champagne and most of all made us all look and feel a million dollars. They worked from the pictures I took with me and I needn't of worried, it actually ended up looking better. The wedding day itself went without a glitch, the wedding guests all 31 of them were picked up by an air conditioned coach and taken to the venue whilst my dad and I were taken by a decorated car. It made a huge difference to the nerves when we met you, you helped get the bridesmaids in order and told us all when to walk down the red carpet onto the beautiful beach. I was in awe with the location, the red carpet, the decorated gazebo and the chairs and I can happily say it was very emotional. After the ceremony, we celebrated with a glass of champagne poured on the beach with a beautiful backdrop of sea and mountains with the sun going down. You certainly don't get that in England and I have many photo memories to treasure! The reception was decorated beautifully and the food was lovely, we have a few fussy eaters in our party but we had nothing but good comments on how lovely it was. I have to mention the belly dancer...she was amazing and made it that little bit more special. After an emotional and exhausting day we all went back to our hotel very happy. I had many comments from the guests that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. What more can I say but a heartfelt "thank you", you made our wedding dreams come true. If any brides-to-be would like any information or have any questions, I am very happy for you to pass on my email. Good luck for the future to you and your team. Mr and Mrs Crowter.

Hi Carole , Very sorry for the late reply. Myself and Kev cannot thank you and your team enough for how truly amazing you made our wedding day. When we first planned to get married abroad we were very excited but apprehensive about getting married in a foreign country. You put us straight at ease, letting us know we didnt have to do anything apart from go to the embassy and turn up on the day. This was very true, having you arrange absolutely everything, your guide picked us up from our villa and took us to all the places we needed to go to, completely stress free. I honestly dont know how we would have managed to do the legal side alone. On our first meeting with you, we met at the location which was truly stunning, we were blown away and couldnt believe how beautiful it was. You were so down to earth and had us at ease straight away, Kev especially liked your no nonsense approach. Everything we wanted was possible and even though i changed my mind on the decor and colour at the last minute this was not a problem, We met some of your team that day and what lovely ladies they were. Everything was arranged our cake, flowers, DJ and entertainment so all we had to do was wait for our big day. On our Big day, my pampering started with getting my nails done and my hair along with a lovely pedicure at Bowfinger as recommended by you, and again what lovely people they were they couldnt do enough for us. Back at the Villa once i was dressed and our guests were picked up one of your lovely ladies came to get myself my dad and our little boy to take us to the location for my big moment. When we arrived at the location it looked even more beautiful, the nerves kicked in and i was in desperate need for a wee (ha ha) i think it was melanie sorry cant remember the ladies names, helped me to the toilet and held my dress for me (above and beyond the call of duty) so thank you. We then got MARRIED, everything from the ceremony to the reception was truly amazing. The way you dressed the reception was stunning and perfect, my flowers were better than i thought they would be. Our wedding cake was lovely. The food was absolutely delicious and a total bargain for the all inclusive option, the bar staff were very kind down to earth. We thought the photographer was great and such a funny guy, the DJ was the best dj we have ever heard at a wedding he just knew exactly what song to put on at the right time, our guests just danced the night away. We would highly recommend the fire dancer he was fab, mind you he did have me on the edge of my seat a few times but excellent entertainment. We loved the fact that you were all around looking in making sure everything went accoring to plan, and it certainly did. We honestly cant begin to thank you enough, you were all amazing and made our big day the best day of our lives, our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been too and really enjoyed themselves. We are definately wanting to come back and renew our vows in 10 years time and we hope your all still doing the amazing work you do. Thank you so much, Lots of love from Claire and Kev Younghusband xxxxxxxxx 2nd August 2011

Hi Carole myself and my new husband would like to thank you from the absolute bottom of our hearts for giving us the wedding that was beyond our wildest dreams. We knew it would be good, but never ever imagined it could exceed our expectations a million times over. You and your team are an absolute dream to work with and to say you are organised is an understatement. Everything went to plan beautifully and even the smallest details I had thrown at you were met. You are obviously an expert at this and its also obvious how much pleasure you get from organising weddings, despite doing them back to back. We weren't looking forward to the Antalya trip if I am honest but Guru (hope i have spelt his name right) was such an interesting and personable guy and made it a really lovely day, and allowed us the space to also enjoy eachothers company as it was the day before the wedding - which was great considering we had spent all week with 30+ guests and our two year old, in hindsight perfectly timed to allow us to relax before the big day. I am so sad it is all over, however we have beautiful pictures and video not to mention memories forever.... the photographer was amazing and not intrusive. Everyone loved the food and the entertainment was just unbelievable..... we had the folk group, belly dancer, fire show, microlite and DJ and would do the same all over again. I will keep in touch as we plan to renew in 5 years!! As you know my parents live in the Fethiye area and so I am very familiar with the area and so if any potential brides wish to contact me they are more than welcome louise.barnes@hotmail.co.uk. Thank you for making all our dreams come true...... Carole, Guru, Suzie, Melanie, Sharon & Bayrem @ Goldfinger and all the rest of the team you are an absolute credit to the industry.
