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.

Hi Carole , From the moment we decided on a Beach Wedding in Turkey, we began searching the internet for ideas and came across your website. We initially contacted you as we wanted to learn more about the different packages you offered and what we should expect from your company on the actual day. You were very informative and gave us all the information we needed. It sounded perfect and so we decided to confirm and paid our deposit to secure our chosen date. During the course of the 8 months towards the lead up to our wedding day you always kept in contact via email and always replied quickly to any questions we had. I often worried that we asked too many questions but you were always happy to reply and understood that we wanted everything perfect and never made us feel we were being a nuisance. We were updated by you with information such as when to apply for the Certificate of Non-Impediment in the UK, when to confirm guest numbers, ideas we may have on themes, colours, entertainment etc. We were even given the opportunity to let you know our preferred music choices for the DJ to play at the reception which was great as we wanted a mixture of both English and Turkish music. We booked the DJ through you but we made our own arrangements for the Traditional Turkish folk dancers which eliminated any agency fee. After we let you know our travel dates to Turkey for our Wedding, you arranged for our appointment with the Embassy in Antalya for our Marriage Application. The fees and transport for this was included in the package price. The visit to Antalya was a day trip with an early start. The driver was very helpful and explained what to expect at the Embassy. On our journey back from Antalya we were given photo albums to choose our Wedding cake and Wedding flowers. I had an idea of alternative flower arrangements and so I asked if we could request these instead and you ordered them for us and they were beautiful. Once we arrived at Oludeniz you arranged for us to meet with you to pay the balance and to also pass to you any wedding favours, seating plan, choice of colour for decorations, order of service and instructions for the day. We also exchanged details of where guests were staying so that you could arrange for their transfers to and from their hotels on the wedding day. Our wedding day took place on Monday 15th August 2011 at 7pm at at Nicolas Genc Beach. Joining us in celebrating our special day were 35 of our closest family and friends. It truly was a magical day. The wedding ceremony and reception itself was beautiful and just how we imagined. Cansev & Islam Yavuz Wedding Day: Monday 15th August 2011 Nicolas Genc Beach, Oludeniz, Turkey

Hi Carole Just dropping you a few lines to say thank you for organising an amazing wedding for us, everything was perfect and we couldn't have wished for a better day, all our guests agree it was the best wedding they've ever been to. We would recommend you and your team to anyone wishing to get married in Turkey and to anyone looking for something different and special, the yacht wedding certainly delivers. Once again thanks for everything and all the best for the future. Kind Regards, Mr & Mrs Killingsworth Yacht Wedding 8th September 2011

Hi Carole , hope the season went well and your leg is better, thanks again for everything, our day was great and hassle free. Myself and Deborah wanted a very simple wedding with only a handful of guests planned and Carole and Tayfun accommodated this superbly and didn't give us anything less than 100% effort even though we didn't require the evening part of the wedding package. We arranged with Carole that as we were only a small group we didn't require the party after the ceremony as we had arranged our own reception at a family run hotel in ovicek. The whole wedding process ran like clockwork, from initial e-mail contact then the to and fro of questions regarding documents, setting, music and colours etc there was never any misunderstandings and it was crystal clear what was required from both parties. The meeting in Turkey was very informative and our only doubt (which was the photographer quality) was put to bed when we met our photographer and viewed fabulous shots of a wedding days before. The trip to Antalya was long but a beautiful journey and the traditional Turkish breakfast was fantastic on route. The wedding ceremony was excellent, Carole was there when I arrived , everything looked perfect and the beach was deserted at that time of day so no gathering spectators, great. The vows were easy to follow and all the paperwork was completed for us the next day along with our beautiful photo album and dvd's. I could only recommend Carole and Tayfun for a Turkish beach wedding and our British registry paperwork can through to our home address about two weeks after we got home. Many thanks again Malcolm and De wedding beach 17th august 2011
