Hi Carole Just to say a big massive Thank You to yourself and your team for organising our perfect day! It seems like our wedding was such a long time ago now however we still think about it all the time and guests who attended still talk about what a lovely day it was. A few friends who attended are now thinking twice about getting married in a Church in the UK as it just wouldn’t compare to our wedding on the beach. We had the fully inclusive package wedding on the beach as this was convenient for us with a large party of 49 guests. The food was excellent and tailor made for us and there was certainly plenty of it. Two of my bridesmaids and I decided to have our hair done by the hairdresser recommended by Carole. We was picked up from our hotel and dropped off at the hairdressers just a five minute drive away, we was all really pleased with our hair as she did it exactly how we wanted it. All of our guests were picked up from their hotels scattered around Olu Deniz this was a big help as people didn’t have to worry about transport to the venue. We had paid for a micro light plane to drop petals over the ceremony however when I got to the venue I was told that its not possible for us to have this as the clouds were too low although I was given a full refund when we met after the wedding. I had also asked for a singer a couple of months before the wedding which Carole said would be fine however a week before the wedding I was told that he is unable to sing at our wedding. (so if you want entertainment make sure you give plenty of notice in advance) We had a friend who worked in a bar in Hisaronu and he said he knew a good singer, when I asked Carole if we could bring our own singer she said this was fine which we were really pleased about. The whole day ran smoothly and was the best day of our lives, we just couldn’t wait to get home to watch the DVD. The DVD was brilliant along with all 300 odd photos which was given to us on a separate disc. The photo album which we collected a few days after the wedding was of a very high quality and we were very happy with them. All in all it was the perfect day for us only thing is it just went too quick!!! Katy + Vance 15th June beach wedding

Hi Carole Apologies for not getting in touch with you sooner but married life has been very busy since returning to the UK. We’d both like to say thank you very much for the most perfect wedding. The reason we chose your service rather than organising it via the holiday company was the level of personal attention we received before arriving at our resort. We were guided through everything we needed to do before our wedding and any questions we had were answered quickly to put our minds at ease. It was really nice to know exactly what we were to expect. On a day that is potentially stressful, you and your team were professional and attentive at all times and we felt we could trust you all to take care of every detail. We had to spend a day of our holiday with a visit to Antalya which was tiring but necessary. The whole trip was very professional and we were pleased to have the driver guide us through everything with the minimum of fuss. To anyone else using your wedding services I would recommend getting their hair and nails done at the salon. It was a really nice to chill out and be taken care of on your big day. Everything about the wedding was so perfect, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. The wedding was exactly what we wanted – relaxed and in a beautiful setting. The photography was amazing and has given us so many photos to enjoy. We also got a video of the ceremony and reception which we love to watch to reminisce. We chose to have the Turkish dancers at our reception who were amazing and included us all in their dancing at the end which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend Carole and Tayfun’s weddings, all of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and everyone said they had a great time. We would like to thank you all for your hard work in making our day so special. We also had an amazing holiday to go with it and booked quite a few excursions through Carole and Tayfun. Thank you so much Donna and Michael 15th September 2011

Hi Carole We just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our whole wedding experience. To be honest we were a little worried organising the whole thing by e mail , but actually we really didn’t have to do anything at all because you and your fantastic team did it all for us. Once we had decided on the date and beach rather than yacht venue everything just slotted into place. We decided to come to Turkey a couple of months before the wedding to deal with all the legal documents etc, which I have to say we were dreading ! We had read about the early start and long day..............but luckily there was another couple joining us for the journey ( Hi Rob & Sherri !!) and because we all got on so well the day just flew and ended up having a fab day. Jamie & Teresa who took us to Antalya were great, just pointing us in the right direction & telling us what to sign etc. Once all the legalities were sorted out and we were heading back , a quick stop in Fethiye and flowers and cake were all sorted out as well !! We also met you Carole down on the beach a couple of days later and we were able to discreetly watch a wedding and then afterwards you showed us where we would stand and talked us through the ceremony itself. Met you again at our apartments to take care of payment which we wanted to get out of the way and not have to worry about money on the day and you gave us a Turkish mobile, which was nice to have but only used it once to ring the hairdresser! The actual wedding day was the most perfect day and Kev and I would not have changed a single thing, the scenery, the setting, the table decorations, the food were all fantastic. We opted for a DJ and a firedancer which were brilliant. We loved our wedding album and wedding video, must of watched it about ten times now. We both want to thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect, our 16 guests can`t stop talking about it and that’s from our 6 year old grandson to our 81 year old mum! We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your company and feel free to use any of the photos on your website. Thank you so much Kevin & Jean Armstrong BEACH WEDDING 16th September 2011 Armstrongk50@yahoo.co.uk

Hi Carole Happy New Year to all of you We are great and excited to return to Turkey soon Especially with the weather as it is at the moment Here is our testimonial, sorry its taken so long Do you need me to send photos or send it to your website xxxxxxxxxxxxx thanks again Annie CAROLE TAYFUN This was our first time abroad and with 2 young children so we were slightly anxious. We were worried about such a long trip to sort out alot of paper work, but actually it was so easy and we had a nice time as we shared a minibus and our day with another English couple due to get married the following week. Carole had arranged our transport to and from our hotel and even though it was an early start and late finish, was a memorable part to our wedding and holiday. We made plently of rest stops and had breakfast and lunch. We had our breakfast sitting amongst the most remote mountainous breath-taking views. The owner and his family served up a traditional Turkish breakfast for us and made us feel very welcome. People in Turkey are so friendly and give you alot of their time, nothing is too much trouble for them. We instantly knew we had made the right decision to get married here.I ts totally changed our views about travelling and we are already planning our trip back to Olu Deniz. Carole arranged transport, entertainment, flowers and food to our choice, even altered our wedding cake to match my flowers. It was our sons birthday on our wedding day also and arranged a cake for him with sparklers. They take away all the stress by organising every last detail for your wedding day allowing you to enjoy your holiday. We were given a mobile phone so we could keep in communication. I have never felt so much at ease, this is definetly how weddings should be. too many brides and their familes get lost in all the stress of organising they cant relax. We were totally felt relaxed from beginning to end. A driver was even arranged to pick up my bridesmaid and myself and we were taken to a beauty nail bar, my nails looked amazing. Everyone commented on my nails even when we got home. The photographer and videographer were brilliant. We must admit we were dreading our pictures but to our amazment couldnt believe how beautiful they were. The photos captured the feeling of the day .We always get people remarking how special the pictures look. The blue lagoon is so peaceful, warm and the most perfect natural set scene you could wish for your wedding or special party. The sunset is remarkable. We only had a small group of 12, which was perfect for us. Whatever the size ,whatever the age you will enjoy every moment. Our children played in the lagoon and on the sandy beach till dark. Olu Deniz is a true hidden treasure, the place, the people, the culture , the food and especially the weather. We strongly recommend using carole tayfun, their years of experience shows and with their friendly organised approach you can be assured they will make your day truely memorable and the day you dream of. Thankyou so much Carole Tayfun for everything you done for us Annie and Mick Richardson 18-09-11
