2012

We are finally home & back to reality after a fantastic, fun filled two weeks in Turkey! We just want to say a massive THANK YOU to you, Durmus, Aaron and Lynette, the bar staff/boat crew & everyone else who helped on the day for giving us the experience of a life time, right from the moment we sent you an email enquiry 18 months ago to the day we finally met you in Fethiye, the service, help & advice we received was second to none. You always responded to my emails (most of them more like essays than the 'quick notes' they claimed to be!!) within a reasonable amount of time making sure you gave me all the information I was asking for and more. The day we went to Antalya for all the 'legal stuff' was no where near as bad as we thought it would be, mostly due to the fact Durmus was so kind, helpful & informative, answering any questions we had as well as taking the time to tell us about the places we were visiting which we found really interesting. He even made sure we had time to do a spot of shopping….much to Andy's dismay! The choosing of the cake finished the day off perfectly, we were surprised by the number of designs there were to choose from considering the cost was included in the package price and we were super impressed when Durmus told us we could have the cake decorated to match our chosen colour scheme. Having the Turkish mobile really helped us feel at ease, knowing that we could contact you whenever we needed to and was just one of those added extras that really made your service unique to any others we had looked into previously. Our meeting with Aaron and Lynette to go over the finer details, pay what we owed and hand over the favours we had bought was relaxed and convenient as it was at our hotel so we didn't need to travel anywhere. Aaron and Lynette went through everything with us to make sure everything on the day would be just how we wanted it to be. On the day of the wedding the coaches arrived on time to transport our guests to Fethiye, everyone was really pleased with the standard of service and commented on the convenience of being picked up from our hotel. I particularly loved that my driver (I'm really sorry I have forgotten his name!!) wore a purple shirt, not sure whether this was deliberate but seeing as it went perfectly with the colour scheme it seemed a nice touch! Words can not express the sheer shock and delight I felt when I saw the boat all decorated and with our guests on board, it was everything I ever dreamed it would be and more. Up until that point I had been really relaxed & calm but it took my breath away and the tears began to flow, not just from me either. My mum and Dad also struggled to contain their amazement! Every last detail was perfect, the colours, the table plans, the music we provided was played without any hiccups (something that does not happen very often at weddings in England haha!) Not to mention the backing tracks we provided for our niece, Chloe to sing to, they were played effortlessly and at just the right times throughout the day, with Aaron and Lynette making sure Chloe knew when she was due to sing. (As he did with those who did readings for us as well!) The food was amazing and even the guests who are known to us as being fussy with their food commented on just how nice it was everything was. The one thing that made it even more special, as I said when we saw you in Fethiye was when the taxi boat delivered 2 bottles of brandy so I could have my favourite tipple, I can't thank you or Aaron and Lynette enough for arranging that. As if the boat wasn't special enough, to have a James Bond style delivery really got everyone talking!! We really enjoyed the micro light petal drop…more so watching them desperately trying to fly over the boat as centrally as possible despite the breeze! Lastly, the photographs are breath taking. The photographer made sure every photo we requested was in the album & we have looked through the CD loads of times and still keep picking out things we either didn't think we noticed on the day or had forgotten about. He really has captured the true happiness we felt and the emotions of all our guests. The tranquillity and true beauty of our surroundings are obvious in every single photo. We haven't watched the DVD as yet, after our English reception we are hosting a film night to show all our friends and family the magic you helped to create on our special day. We really can not praise 'Beach Weddings by Carole' enough for making our wedding day so memorable, every single one of our guests has complimented the attention to detail, the organisation and just how amazing it was to witness our marriage in such beautiful surroundings. We can and will highly recommend to anyone to book a wedding through you, it was fantastic value for money and the service throughout from everyone involved was of such a high standard it out shone any hotel wedding we have ever attended! Thank you once again, we can't wait to see our photos on your website at long last, we have spent the last year and a half looking at those already on there and it will feel surreal to see our faces amongst the other couples lucky enough to have had you plan their weddings! Lots of love Hanna and Andy Williamson Yacht Wedding 06 October 2012

Hi Aaron and Lynette,Happy New Year to you too We were overwhelmed by how wonderful our wedding was and the day went so smoothly. All of the worry and stress of the usual wedding planning was removed as a few quick e-mails to Carole was all that was needed when anything popped into my head. Any and all requests were accomodated and all questions responded to within 24 or 48 hours and everything managed beautifully. The venue is perfect and all our guests commented that it was like something from a film. We kept it fairly simple as this was what we wanted and I felt it reflected our personalities. We had great fun and on the day Carole's team took everything out of my hands, my wedding day itself was actually a very relaxing day! I would more than recommend Carole and her team to anyone and am happy to answer any queries from any brides-to-be via e-mail. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Jennifer and Nevzat Wedding Beach 11 October 2012 jennifer.connolly70@yahoo.co.uk

Hi Carole, First off appologies on the delay with the testimonial, things have been non stop since we got married and we are only now getting round to neing able to do the testimonial. Kelvin and myself would first like to thank Aaron and Lynette for all the support and organisation that he put into our wedding, he was fantastic. The whole wedding was fantastic, we never expected everything to be so easy and straight forward. You took care of everything in and exceptional manor, the wedding completly exceeded all our expectations. The first initial meeting at the site of the wedding was easy and straight forward, Aaron and Lynette talked us through eveything and set our mind at rest for the upcoming ceremony. Everything about the day to Antalya was explained to us and again our minds put to rest. The day to go to antalya itself was quite easy, allthough long, the only thing i would advise it to take something with you to keep you warm when you stop for breakfast, I stupidly went in shorts and vest and froze the whole time over breakfast. I was shocked at how quick everything was when we got to Antalya, allthough i think we chose the wrong day to go to the medical centre as the army were in there getting thier medicals, Typical of our luck. The florist was also fantastic and knew what we wanted and advised us on the best flowrs and the prices were very reasonable. On the day of the wedding I had my hair done by Sharon, who really did have a hard job with my hair as I have alot of it, She was friendly, profesional and efficient, she managed to do my hair and my daughters in the time alloted and that is no easy feat trust me. The Bus arrived to pick up all the guests going to the ceremony, they all got there about 15 minuites before i arrived so they were able to place all thier flowers on thier quits and so forth. The car arrived for me at our hotel and we then made our way to the beach ready for the ceremony, When i got to the venue i couldnt get over how organised everything was, i didnt have to think about anything, other than my nerves. It was just simply beautifully done, my husband became very emotional at the whole experience, the music the beach and of course his beautiful bride. The ceremony was so lovley, the vows were great and i thought they were very fitting, much better than you would get at home. The reception was fantastic, we chose to have a belly dancer, fire dancer and DJ, and i have to say every penny was well spent, the belly dancer got everyone up dancing and got them ready to dance for the evening. The firedancer was superb, he really put on a great show, we would definatly reccomend the entertainment. The food was so nice, the only thing we did wrong was not order enough fish, if i was you i would ask everone before hand how many would like fish, we also had the open bar option, and I must say this was worth its weight in gold, nobody had to worry about bringing money, as alot of us we all inclusive at the hotel it fitted in nicley. All in all we had one of the best weddings we could have found anywhere, and trust me I looked alot. Thank you so much Aaron and Lynette and your team for giving us a fantastic start into married life and helping us to acheive our dream wedding. If anyone would like to ask me questions or wants advice they can e-mail me on kath_elis@live.co.uk , they will also find me on facebook using the same email. Again thanks Kathryn and Kelvin Beach wedding 19th September 2012

Hi Carole, We just wanted to thank you and your team for providing us with such an amazing wedding day. Everything was perfect. Whilst we were a bit apprehensive about how things would be we shouldn't have worried, it was so much more than expected. Your team on the boat were great, they weren't in the way at all and everyone had a fantastic time, like us they thought it was wonderful and couldn't believe how amazing the day actually was. The food, bar staff, photographer, camera man were great and put everyone at ease. The Dvd and pictures are stunning. The DJ was perfect and managed to play our music in perfect order to allow everyone to fully enjoy themselves. Without him it wouldn't have been the same. All out guests thoroughly enjoyed the day which is captured in the Dvd. We wish to thank you and your team again for giving us such a special day. I hope you provide so many more brides and grooms with such a perfect day like ours. Thanks again Mr Mrs Thomas Gillian Bill Yacht Wedding 20th September 2012
