Hi Carole Sorry it’s taken so long to write this testimonial I honestly don’t know where the summer went and it doesn’t seem like two minutes since the wedding in May. Since we’ve got back I’ve been passing on your details to whoever would listen as I honestly don’t think they will find a better venue or wedding planner anywhere in Turkey.! I can say that everyone who came along and shared the day with us had a fabulous time. The setting on the beach was gorgeous and it looked amazing with the decorated gazebo and the way you had put the candle holders along the red carpet. The whole thing was magical. We couldn’t fault the food, it was really fresh and there was an excellent choice,in fact it was just a shame that we didn’t manage to eat it all. The cake was also really delicious and moist.We also thought the DJ did a really good job and was pleased that we decided to have him rather than playing our own CDs as he somehow managed to pick the right songs for the setting somehow. To sum up I don’t think there was anything I would change at all. It was great that I basically just turned up and everything had been arranged. It was stress free, I didn’t have to do much at all other than decide on what food to have and what outfit to wear (that’s another story)! You take a leap of faith sometimes when you let someone else take the reins but I can honestly say that there was nothing to worry about at all,you were very professional from start to finish The team you have working for you are lovely girls and nothing was too much trouble for them, they didn’t have to give us lifts back into town after our meetings but they did and it was very much appreciated. I just want to express our thanks again. Jenny & Nathan are still talking about their wonderful wedding and holiday.If anyone is thinking of using your services then I can’t recommend you highly enough.

Hi Carole From start to finish, the whole experience with Caroles Weddings was simple and stress free. Whilst on holiday in Sept 2010 we arranged to meet up with Carole to briefly go over the dates. We then went over in April 2011 and took the trip to Antalya to do the legal stuff. (Which may I say; was a lovely and interesting day out). Until our arrival in May, everything else was done by e-mail. The communication from Carole was excellent. Our wedding day was on 26th May 2011. We had around 23 guests which was intimate but enough for the boat, the weather was perfect, the boat was decorated beautifully and the food was gorgeous. The staff and crew were amazing. Robert and I didn’t want what we call the pomp and all that comes with it like top tables and speeches and such, we wanted a more relaxed approach and even though all of that was on offer, it was no trouble at all for our wishes to be accommodated. They say your wedding day should really reflect you as a couple and after enjoying our holidays to Turkey over the past 10 years, especially the numerous Gulet’s we spent time on, we thought the Gulet was right for us. Everybody has dreams of their wedding day and how it will run and ours turned out to be the dream and more and it really did reflect us. Our guests felt it was one of the best wedding they’d ever been to and are still in awe of the whole experience. My Sister wanted to renew their vows again because it was so beautiful. “It really was the perfect day.” We met up with Carole a few days later to complete the final stage of registering the marriage and were presented with a disc with around 400 photo’s and the video of the day and the most beautiful album full with large photo’s (All airbrushed, “Marvellous”) On returning to the UK, we watched the video and cried buckets as we relived the dreamy day all over again. “Carole, we can’t thank you and your team enough for the most perfect day of our lives so far. We can’t speak for the Beach venue but the boat was awesome. You were awesome. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts” Ley & Robert Yacht 26th May 2011

Hi Carole We have been back home and happily married now for two months, I thought it was about time that I sent my thanks for all the hard work that you did for us! We got engaged on the 14th February 2010, and within a week our wedding with you was booked! You made everything so easy, within a few emails we had our date set for our wedding! There was so little we needed to do before we came to Turkey, just choosing a dress and deciding on a colour scheme! We already had a date to sort the paper work before we arrived in Turkey, and although not the most fun day, it was easy. On the way back we also stopped off and choose our flowers and cake, all of which we were very pleased with. When we saw the beach venue we were so pleased, it really is a very beautiful setting! Unfortunately we were very unlucky with the weather, and it rained on the days leading up to our wedding. When I woke up on the day of our wedding to discover it was still raining my heart sank. But, I rang you and you put me at ease – we would be getting married – rain or no rain! You arranged for a lovely make up lady to come to our hotel, I was delighted with the results and the price! At 5.30 the rain stopped and the sun came out, I can’t tell you how happy I was! Our 38 guests were all collected by bus from their different hotels, and I was picked up in a lovely car to be taken to the venue. Think I probably started to get nervous at this point! When I walked down the beach to the music we had chosen I was so happy, everything looked so beautiful! The ceremony went without a hitch, and then the party began! You organised for us to have canapés on the beach with the champagne. They were lovely and very much appreciated by the guests. We then had the confetti drop, before sitting down for the meal. The food was lovely, and enjoyed by all. The cake in particular was delicious with nearly all guests saying it was the nicest wedding cake they had ever eaten! For entertainment we had the belly dancer, DJ and fire show. The belly dancer was fantastic and got everyone up dancing, even my Grandad had a go! The DJ played great music all evening, and also had everyone up dancing. The Fire show came towards the end of the evening and I can defiantly recommend him! In all our wedding day was amazing, and we wouldn’t have changed a single thing about it! Thank you carol for an unforgettable day! Best wishes, Mr & Mrs Meagor Beach wedding – 30th May 2011

Hi Carole we want to say the most massive thank you to you and all your team for making our wedding day the most special and personal day we could have wished for ,it was without a doubt the easiest and most relaxed wedding we could have wished for . From the very first e mail right through to the wedding day you were on hand to offer your support and expertise, you knew the answer to every question we put to you . The whole day for us was just magical , we had such a lovely relaxed day and were even still swimming in our hotel pool at half 3 in the afternoon , as we had nothing to take care of other than getting dressed and waiting to be picked up and taken to the beautiful beach setting, where everything was layed out perfectly , the ceremony was very quick but so lovely all the 18 children that were with us had a fab time splashing about in the lagoon looking for fish whilst we had our photos taken, they very much enjoyed the petal drop and so did we , we have the most beautiful photos taken by the brilliant turkish photographer,the food and service were also wonderful and having the all inclusive package is a must as you just don't have to worry about a thing . The legal side of things was what we were most worried about but you just organised everything and were never in a flap even when i was (leaving my passport locked in my hotel safe on the final legal trip !!!). All in all you and your company made our dreams come true we and our 47 guests had the most magical time in turkey which was topped off by the best wedding we ever could have wished for the guests are still talking about the belly dancer and what a fab party we had late into the night so for now a big big thank you from us both for making our dreams come true with much love adele and greg foxwell xx Adele Catley 31th May 2011
