2012

Hi Carole, Happy new year! Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the hard work and planning that went into our wedding! There wasn't anything that I could fault every little thing was planned to perfection and we had no worries about anything. We completed legalities a few days before the wedding the part I was dreading but this wasn't as bad as we where both expecting. This was an early start the driver was brilliant he helped with all the paperwork after the legalities we picked flowers and the cake we wanted. Which both the florist and baker made an amazing job! Carole took time to go over the details a couple of days before the wedding and at this meeting we discussed our finishing touches! There wasn't a part of the day that was left to chance it was all planned so no need to worry about anything. The whole day was spectacular better than we could ever have expected. A big thank you to Aaron and Lynette and the staff on Yacht thank for making our day so special. I would highly recommend Sharon for hair and Goldfinger salon for beauty treatments. Sharon came to our hotel on the day this was arranged when I had met Carole a few days before. I had some beauty treatments carried out the day before the wedding and the Goldfinger salon picked me up and dropped me at the hotel. Thank you so much for everything and making our day amazing! Mr & Mrs Macfarlane Wedding Yacht 18th Septemer 2012

Hi Carole I cannot apologise enough for this testimonial being soooo late. I hope it?s not too late but I wanted to send it any to show our thanks. Our wedding was on the 17th August 2012 which is soo long ago but only seems like yesterday. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, your daughter and your team for making our wedding everything we wished for and much much more. You were helpful from the word go, and it was so nice to have everything organised for us. We can?t believe how great the photos and DVD are, they have captured our memories perfectly and we will cherish them forever. We are so glad we chose to have our wedding with you guys, the location was, perfect, so romantic and looked stunning, all the decorations, flowers, table arrangements. There was nothing to fault. I have already recommended your services to several people. The transfers from our resort to the venue were brilliant, the drivers were professional and very friendly, they put everyone at ease. everyone is still talking about our wedding and how fantastic everything was. The fire show was just amazing, I have some great pictures of my dad with the fire (he looks so scared lol!!) Getting ready was amazing too, our hair, nails and make up looked fantastic!! I will honestly Cherish that day forever, you guys made is so memorable it was just perfect. So thank you, thank you for organising a fantastic wedding experience for us. It was so relaxing and stress free, no last minute panicking as I knew everything was in hand. I just can?t wait for a few years? time and an excuse to come and renew our vows back on the blue lagoon. It was stunning. Take care, and look forward to hopefully meeting again someday.

Hi Carole Many thanks for all your help through our wedding arrangement. It was such a wonderful day and experience for everyone involved. 'We had experienced seeing the boat leaving fethiye harbour once returning from a day trip and secondly dressed up for an evening wedding ceremony. We were invited onto the boat to see the boat beautifully decorated for this special occasion. From then on we knew and decided to book our wedding with Aaron and Lynette. Carole was clear with her instructions to ensure everything ran smooth leading up to our special day by contacting us on email and responding to any questions promptly. When arriving in Turkey we met with Lynnette and Arun (Carole's daughter and son in law) Who were our wedding coordinators to arrange final details for the day, including the whole day to Antayla for the official signing of paperwork at the British consulate. They were both so friendly and made us at ease. The day started with meeting up with another couple who was having the alternative arrangement of marriage on the beach. The driver was laid back and very friendly with great English. The wedding cake was chosen on this day along with flowers so it broke up the day nicely. The day is finished off by visiting the local doctors to finalise arrangements by asking one question 'Are you mad?' The wedding day itself was unforgettable. A bus picked up all the guests and car picked up Andrea bringing her right to the boat. The boat as we expected was decorated in lilac and purple and was preparing to set sail out of the bay into the sun. The service was conducted in English and Turkish even the translator wore purple along with the driver of the car which adds to the whole experience. We had a belly dancer and a microlite petal drop which all the guests loved. For the whole ceremony we were photographed and video'd and was made to feel very special. A selection of the photos were put into an album which are wonderful. They are so good we had thought they were airbrushed ! We also received a disc with every photo that was taken and six months on the family are still watching the video. The flowers and the wedding cake were beautiful and superb value as the cost in the u.k would of been extortionate. The whole ceremony went so quickly and before we knew it, we were returning back to the bay. My wife was gorgeous and so happy and I am sure this was down to the organisation of the team and exceeded our expectations in all areas. I don't just recommend get married, I recommend you get married with Aaron and Lynette. Oh and there was a firework display in the background whilst we were moored up which the guests thought was part of the ceremony (we still haven't told them that it wasn't) We had a fantastic day - thank you all so very much. Take care Mr and Mrs Sullivan Wedding Yacht 21th August 2012

Hi Carole, and the rest of the team, (Aaron and Lynette, Lynette, Sharon), What can I say one month on since our big day and it fills me with joy everytime I think about it. The wedding you provided us was amazing, with two years of planning, the organising with Carole, constant emails about queries nothing was too much trouble and the customer service could not have been better. When we arrived in Turkey, we were anxous as we had 55 guests from England coming to enjoy our big day and obviously wanted it to be perfect. We met with Aaron and Lynette who explained what would be happening on the day, new to the role Aaron and Lynette was lovely and made us feel at ease. On the day of the wedding Sharon provided me and my bridesmaid with lovely hairstyles, and could not have been nicer, coming to our hotel room made it a lot more relaxing and ensured we did not have to travel, the day of the wedding was particulalry hot also so it enabled us to stay in our air conditioned room until we were collected for the ceremony. Sharon (hairdresser) was amazing and kind, and nothing again was too much trouble, helped that she was english and made communication of hairstyles etc so much easier. The transportation of guests went smoothly, even considering there was so many of us. The ceremony itself was lovely and so well organised, staff involved made it perfect, even providing me with tissues as I walked down to meet Paul (groom). The photos we got were fab, we both even cried when we saw them for the first time, album was put together brilliant and disc and dvd provided us with so many happy memories of the night. Aaron and Lynette was a constant help throughout the night, checking every detail to our particular preferance. Cannot thank Aaron and Lynette enough, all the wedding party thought he was amazing and so helpful not to just me and Paul but to all our guests. Food was amazing, guests all loved it and the drinks package with the all inclusive deal was a fab idea. All in all, even meeting Carol after the wedding and collecting our photos etc was a lovely personal touch and was perfect. Thanks again Carole, wedding was amazing and your staff are a credit to you and you, yourself are so hardworking and deserve all the credit you I am sure get after every wedding you provide. On behalf of myself and my 'new' husband Paul and all of my guests would like to thank you for the most amazing day and giving us all such amazing memories to cherish. Will defo be returning to Olu Deniz, as love it!!!! Lots of love always from Emma and Paul Doyle Beach Wedding 25th August 2012

I contacted Carole in late 2011 and asked her hundreds of questions before booking which were all answered and she put our minds at rest. We have been regular travellers to the area so knew how beautiful the place is. We finally booked the Yacht and the date that we wanted. Carole contacted us on several occasions to advise us when to get the impediment to allow us to marry, to ask about colour schemes and to give us a full and detailed run through of how the order of service would run. We arrived in Turkey 2 weeks before we married and Carole had arranged a meeting on the yacht about a week before, also the consulate appointment in Antalya. The long journey wasn’t bad and the driver was fantastic he stopped when we wanted him to as we were travelling with 2 children, he stopped at some stunning spots so we could grab some fantastic photographs. Carole put me in touch with a hairdresser and beautician she also gave us a mobile phone to enable us to contact her and vice versa. The day itself was perfect, the driver came to our hotel and picked myself and our 3 bridesmaids up whilst the rest of the wedding party were taken to the yacht by coach. On arrival the photographer was waiting and all the guests were on the yacht, we greeted everyone and had some photographs taken. The ceremony was perfect and we loved the vows, simple yet said everything that you would want. Champagne toast some dancing and then more photographs then we sat to eat, the food was lovely and there was plenty for everyone. There was a mic for the speeches if you choose to have them, then the DJ played music that we took with us. The whole team were so good and helpful you can arrange your own seating plan if you wish, you decide on the 1st dance, speeches etc. It’s just so chilled and stress free, I wish we could go back and do it all again and I would not hesitate in recommending Carole and her team to organise your wedding day. We met Carole the day after the wedding in Fethiye to get our paperwork to bring back to the UK and collect our wedding album, photo disk and DVD or our perfect day Paula and Stephen Testimonial Yacht Wedding 28th August 2012

Hello Carole, Lynette Aaron and Lynette, We would like to thank you for making our Wedding Day a special one . We were a bit daunted at the fact we had never been to Olu Deniz before, so it was a big risk to us. We were given Our wedding date when we booked the wedding by Carole through e mail, and just before we flew out to Turkey we had the email of the date we were doing the long trip to Antalya. We wasnt looking forward to this i must admit but its not half as bad as its stated by other brides and grooms in last years testimonials. Dumus our driver and helper with the paper work picked us up from our Hotel the Alize at 6am,we then drove around the corner to pick another couple up to do their paperwork the same time as us. We were told if we wanted to stop just let him know , we stopped for breakfast, and also for a fantastic view on the way, and no sooner we had done that we were in Antalya, we did take a couple of long sleeved tops as that early in the morning in the moutains its a bit chilly. Our first stop was at the British Consulate ,we filled a few forms in and gave our passports over,next we drove to the Turkish Consulate, Dumus went there on his own and told us to be back within half and hour and go for a drink . We then travelled back to the same stop we had breakfast , lunch was being served if you wanted it, Dumus then had two photo albums, one for flowers and the other for wedding cakes, we picked our wedding cake and the other couple did the same and they picked flowers from the other album ,i didnt want flowers as i had made mine from silk flowers for all my guests ,ushers,groom bestman.bridesmaids and myself. We then were taken into Fethiye and went to have a medical, there is no blood test it was just going into see the doctor he looks at you and signs your papers and thats it . Dumus then walked down to the town with us so the other couple could go to the florist as they wanted to see them and discuss their flowers , after that we were taken back to our hotel where we went and got the bits to go on our wedding cake when being made, it was about 4.30pm, It seems a long day but lots to do. I had originally booked the hairdresser that Carole suggests, but the day i was due to have my practice, the hotel i was staying in would not allow an outside hairdresser into the complex as the hotel has its own hairdressers. I had my hair done in there and i must say she was brilliant, she did 4 of my guest my mum and all my bridesmaids as well everyone was pleased Dumus gave us a date to go to the beach with all the favours table settings etc...... So we went down and there we met Lynette she was Caroles Daughter and Aaron and Lynette Caroles Son in Law both were very nice people they then talked us through the ceremony and what happens, also we picked the food for the reception and gave our disc over of the songs we wanted for the walk down the aisle,the toast and the first dance. They then gave us a mobile phone so if we needed them or had any problems they were on hand. On the day of the wedding the coach picked everyone up and my bridesmaids went down in two taxis, then a car picked me and my dad up . We arrived at the beach and they started to play the music everthing went well its all translated into english by Lynette, so its a nice ceremony, The photographer is fab his photos are superb and the video man is great too the only downfall at the wedding was the microlight that was a complete waste of time for £90 what we paid , i thought with him doing so many weddings he would know the spot to drop the rose petalshe was way off the mark it went in the lagoon and he was late and it was getting dark, you dont get nothing back if he fails so please be aware of that. The Belly dancer was great she had everyone up dancing and the DJ was fab he played all what we asked for and the wedding cake tasted out of this world it melted in your mouth, The evening was over so quick but it was the best time we had and Aaron and Lynette was on hand all night if we needed something he was there a great and helpful guy. The bus came to take us all back to the hotel and everyone is still talking about the fantastic time they had at our wedding. Before we went home we met Carole in Fethiye to get our marriage certificate and our photos and video. We had a wonderful time and great memories of our wedding in Turkey and thats down to Carole, Lynette and Aaron and Lynette Thanks Love Heather & Lee x Beach wedding 29th August 2012

The photos & DVD were perfect thank you. Yes I am more than happy for you to add any pictures from our wedding & I have included a testimonial : . We can't thank Carole & her fantastic team enough for our beautiful,perfect beach wedding. We had originally booked our wedding with Thomas cook but felt very let down by them. I then found Carole on her site & I contacted her & with in days she emailed me back. It was like a weight had been lifted off our shoulders. We were having a beach wedding & our reception for 45 guests, with a dj & fire show. When we arrived in Turkey Carole met with us & organised everything with how we wanted it,from the flowers, to make up & a hairdresser. Everyone she recommended were just fantastic & everything was just perfect. The venue on the beach was absolutely stunning. The team were amazing with us & all our guests,nothing was too much trouble for them. The whole day couldn't of gone better for us & all our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been too. A beautiful setting, fantastic team looking after us, lovely food, an amazing fire show, music & dancing the night away. It was everything we had hoped it would be & so much more. Now we have our amazing photos & DVD to remember it by which were all provided by Carole. Once again it was all made possible by Carole so thank you so much. Julia & Paul x I hope this is ok & thank you once again for our amazing wedding. Kind regards Julia & Paul Beach wedding 30th August 2012

Big thanks to Carole and her team for giving us the perfect wedding day. From start to finish everything went perfectly and was all very well organised. I was a bit wary organising my whole wedding by email but I need not have worried. We weren't looking forward to the Antalya trip very much, but it was a good day and didnt feel as long as it was. I must say Sharon who done my hair is one of the best hairdressers I've ever met, she done my hair and 5 friends and we were all so pleased, the detail and time she spent doing my hair was amazing, I was so so pleased with it. The wedding itself was fantastic, the location is just beautiful, the bbq buffet was lovely and the free bar certainly pleased our guests. We had the fireshow, which was fab, our guests loved it and also a dj which played all our requests. It was a truly amazing day. The pictures from the photographer are just brilliant as is the dvd. I cant recommend Carole and her team more and which we could do it all over again. Thank you all, Much love Craig and Jemma Shaw Beach Wedding 31.08.2012

Yes we would be happy for you to use some of the photos and we have written our testimonial below: Our wedding was the first one in 2012 and Aaron made it everything we could wish for and with her organisation made everything run smoothly. Contact was made through email with Aaron and he kept us update with what we needed to do and when, appointment was arranged to meet up with Aaron when we arrived in Turkey and go through everything we needed to and visit the location where we were getting married.

Hi Carole, Lovely to hear from you and Happy New Year to you too. We are pleased to send our testimonial to you and are happy for you to print our e-mail address and my phone number which is 07796 867479 in case anyone would like to contact us. Thank you so much for planning a fabulous wedding for us on 8th July 2012. It truly was a wonderful day. We went with Guru in April to Antalya to prepare all of the necessary paperwork etc, we expected a long and tiring day however we have to say, it all went really well. Very smoothly and easy. Guru dealt with everything for us, the scenery was stunning and the journey flew by. I had been a little bit uneasy about our visit to the clinic in Fethiye but there is absolutely nothing to worry about, there are no blood tests and nothing to it! On the big day, the weather was fantastic and the beach (seating and red carpet etc) looked lovely. The service was so special, simple and beautiful, just as we wished. I can't praise your photographer enough, he was patient and accommodating and we were presented with an album of beautiful wedding photos, a CD of all the photos taken and the wedding DVD about 4 days after the wedding - we are thrilled with them! Your girls were wonderful, the wedding tables were beautiful, the food was good and the evening went brilliantly. The DJ was great, our entertainment dancers were fantastic and we and our guests had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for all your hard work and making our day so special - wish we could do it all again this year! Debbie and Paul Ryan Wedding Beach 8th July 2012 pandmessages@hotmail.co.uk
