2011

Where can i start, what a truly wonderful day and a perfect start to married life. From our first contact 18months before our big day to the final few minutes of our wedding night you kept us informed and helped us with every little detail to ensure us and our 24 guests had a magical and memorable time. You started our wedding day with booking me into the salon with my girls for an afternoon of pampering and relaxation i felt totally at ease as the girls in the salon (Sharon and staff) made me feel like a princess as any girl should on their big day, I initially went in convinced about which hair style i wanted and came away with a totally different one thanks to Sharon knowing just how to make an impact and that it did, my husband loved it. My nails were also done beautifully. The pick up of our guests from different hotels went as planned and my arrival was perfectly timed and i felt amazing as i was driven along the coastal road in Olu Deniz with everyone smiling at me. The venue and beach setting was just breath taking i just cannot explain how good it felt walking down a red carpet along the beach watching my husband to be with such an amazing backdrop. The ceremony was just as we had hoped with all our guests wiping tears away as the vows were taken. It was nice that we all got given a glass of champagne on the beach to toast our marriage. We then went onto having our stunning photos which your photographer was very professional and most of all friendly with over 400 photos being taken throughout the ceremony and the evening. The DJ was a great guy who was more than happy to play anything you requested and picked a very fitting song for the father and bride dance. Food, which was chosen by us before the day lived up to expectation with all our guests plates piled high as there was more than plenty. we chose our wedding cake also prior to the day and it was very nice with everyone getting a slice once the cutting of the cake had taken place. The final entertainment was the fire show, oh my how he didn't set his pants on fire I'll never know !! He was just outstanding and would highly recommended him. You returned us and our guest back to our hotel to carry on our celebrations. Four days later we met you in Fethiye to finish off the legalities and to collect our wedding album which to be honest was far better then we could have ever wished for, from the choice of wedding album and the photographers choice of pictures we were totally blown away and could not wait to view the hundreds of pictures and DVD of our perfect day. So we would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to you Carole and all your fabulous staff that made our day a dream come true, you have given us magical memories that we will never forget. Louise and Dave Brearley from our hearts Carole thank you so much, wishing you a wonderful xmas and all the best for 2012 i hope its another busy season full of happy couples getting memories like ours. Take care Mr & Mrs Brearley............Lou & Dave xx

From the start of planning the wedding from England with Carole it was such an easy relaxed process. Everything was taken care of with paperwork and all the legalities which was a weight off our minds when you have so many other things to think about! On arriving in turkey we met with Carole to discuss finer details and for her to go through our trip to Antalya. She took care of organising our trip and what paperwork we needed it was stress free. The trip to Antalya was a long day but it was nice to take in the sights whilst in turkey and we had a chance to chose our flowers and the cake. The day of the wedding soon came after a week of relaxing by the pool! We had organised a hairdresser through Carole, who was excellent, she is an English hairdresser who made my morning stress Free and after being pampered in the hair salon we were taken back to our hotel which was a nice touch we really felt looked after from start to finish. It was time to get in my dress and wait for the car to arrive. Our guest had already been picked up and were en route to the ceremony, my dad surprised me by being in his full Scottish suit which was amazing! A very relaxed drive to the beach at the beautiful olu deniz lagoon, where a photographer was on hand to take those nice relaxed photos before the ceremony. Carole was there to meet us and all the guests were ready. I walked down the aisle to a song that we chose before heading to turkey, to be met by my lovely husband and by the beautifully decorated ceremony area, I couldn't have done it better myself! Amazing! The ceremony was beautiful not a dry eye in the house or beach should I say! Champagne toast, then onto photos. It was a big hectic, family photos always are! But the photographer was excellent and he really did an amazing job the photo album was more than we could've hoped for! The food was great and suited our whole party which included small children. We had the belly dancer who I would highly recommend for not only adding a bit of turkey to the wedding but also it really got the atmosphere and party started everyone loved it! The cake was amazing, the table decorations were beautiful as were the flowers! I really was amazed at the level of service we received, our day was so perfect and relaxed we really enjoyed ever moment! It just went to quickly! Carole and her team were on hand all evening and organised for our party to be taken back to their apartments at the end of the night! I would highly recommend Carole to plan a wedding, she made it personal, beautiful and exactly what we wanted and we cannot thank her enough if only we could do it all over again!! Thank you to all of the team that made our day absolutely perfect x Loren and oliver xx wedding beach 24th September 2011

Hi Carole , We would like to thank you for organizing our beach wedding. Everything was perfect for us and we had the most amazing day. Things for us were slightly different for us from the usual weddings being a english/turkish wedding and with us living in Turkey but we couldn't have asked for anymore. We had about 60 guests and everyone (turkish and english) said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. We found it was very relaxed and well organized. The ceremony was lovely and simple and exactly what we wanted. We all loved the entertainment, we had fire show, belly dancer and the flower drop. The belly dancer was the favorite as it got everyone up enjoying themselves and was great fun and the video of everyone attempting it is hilarious a great reminder of the day. The food was amazing and all the staff involved were very helpful. The cake was lovely and we loved all the decorations. We had our own wedding singer and DJ but everything they needed was set up and ready to go. We found the driver that took us to Antalya to do our paperwork was very good and it was nice to have the same driver pick me up on the wedding day. The beach wedding venue is a beautiful setting and one of the nicest private beaches in that area and this made our wedding pictures perfect. Our wedding video was great too and has been watched a lot. I done my own hair and make up being a hairdresser but i did speak to the hairdresser and she was very helpful. We found the full package excellent value for money and would recommend Carole and Tayfun weddings to anyone. Whilst organizing the wedding we found we always received a very fast response from Carole we always got a answer to our questions. We would like to send you and all your staff a massive thank you for making our day so special. Thanks again Lisa and Ziya Duran Beach wedding 30th september 2011

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.
