Hi Carole, Happy New Year to you too. We are all well, thank you Thank you to you and all your team for making our wedding day special and memorable. From the very first email right through to the wedding day you were on hand to offer support and advise. The beach location was beautiful. Everything was set out perfectly. The ceremony was simple and quick, just what we wanted. The photographer was brillant and we are delighted with our wedding album. The photographer even air brushed out the pigmentation on my face caused by the sun! The buffet was fine but we were a little dissappointed with the quality of the food but the service was good. We would like to point out that when we were doing the speeches it was not very easy to hear as there was alot of noise/music coming from the venue next door so we were a little disappointed. We had the DJ and he played a good selection/mix of music. We also had the fire show which I would definately recommend, he was amazing! All in all we had a good experience and would recommend Carole to anyone thinking of planning their wedding in Turkey. Adam & Emma Sheikh, Beach Wedding, 13 June 2012.

Hi Carole, We would definitely recommend Carole & Tayfun weddings to anyone thinking of getting married in Turkey. From day one Carole was very helpful with any questions and concerns we had. It took a lot of stress from us knowing everything was being arranged for us. We really could not of asked for anything more, venue is perfect, food was lovely, staff were excellent!! We hope to return in 2013 for our anniversary Thank you very much for making our wedding day fantastic!!! X Louise and Tyler wedding beach 16th June 2012

Hi Carole, We would firstly like to apologise for the time it has taken to email you since our beautiful wedding in turkey. We cannot believe that it has been over six months since we got married, the time has just flown. We would just like to thank you and your team for making our day so special. We did have some reservations getting married abroad and not being able to see what we were paying for until we landed. However, we were reassured from the very first time we emailed you. Your quick responses with information to all of our questions was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. We were not looking forward to the long day in Antalya, especially as we only landed in the early hours. However, Guru made the day painless and took care of all of the official documentation. The venue, decoration and flowers were all beautiful. We had organised the microlight but unfortunately this could not happen due to the weather. However, this did not make a difference. We also had the singer, Tom, who again we were a little worried about. In fact, he was excellent and was perfect for a smaller wedding party (there were 22 of us.) The all inclusive package was very good value; our guests certainly enjoyed the bar! All in all, it was an amazing day, which could not have been possible without you or your team. For anyone considering a wedding in Olu Deniz, we would definately recommend your service. It was all topped off by absolutely stunning photographs. Please feel free to use any of ours on the website. Many thanks once again Mr and Mrs Lee & Catherine Bircumshaw Beach Wedding 23rd June 2012

Hi Carole Hi Carole Our beautiful Beach Wedding at Olu Denz June 24th. 2012 was the most amazing day any couple wish for. From the very first E mail, right thought to the wedding day every detail was carefully and professionally delivered. We cannot thank you, you're daughter and the rest of your team enough for the way you took care of us with every detail covered to our exact liking, The venue for the wedding was set on a lovely part of the beach with a backdrop of the evening sunset which will be remembered by me and my husband forever. All we had to do was turn up on the day of our wedding to see everything arranged, the food, flowers, disco, and the fire dancer, and photographer. The ceremony was very intimate and emotional, most of the guest were in tears and this was not only down to the gorgeous bride but the atmosphere you created by having the wedding in such a romantic place. We have a superb wedding album and DVD to watch. Our only regret is that the day went far too fast, we want to do it all over again. All our guests have commented on just how fantastic the wedding was and some have even returned for a second holiday. I would recommend your wedding services to anybody who is considering getting married on the beach in Olu Deniz. If anyone would like to ask us any questions about our wedding they may contact us at Pearson-a8@sky.com Please feel free to use any of our photos in your 2013 web page Yours Sincerely Martin & Linzi Garrity Wedding Beach 24th June 2012 Pearson-a8@sky.com

When i came back to england told graham about the beautiful venue and how you an your staff knew exactly what you were doing.From then on anything we wanted to know we just emailed you an you promptly replied which put us at ease,when the time came for us to come to turkey to get married the whole experienced was brilliant you had as picked up an taken to antalya for all the legal requirements to be done and although it was a long day it was worth it.. We chose our cake that day to and the colour scheme we wanted.Then came our wedding day Aaron and Lynette an what a beautiful day. everything ran like clockwork you sent two minibuses up to hisaronu to collect all 60 of our guests to take them to the beach an when they arrived they could not believe how fantastic it looked. Then the car arrived to pick me up the driver was so nice & friendly he drove me to my wedding an when i got there your staff were brilliant got all the guests seated organized our bridesmaids and page boys in order ready for us to walk down the isle. Then our song played an we started walking each step was magical as i walked down to meet my husband to be,The ceremony too was so over whelming and although all read out in turkish then with translater there all repeated in english, all of it was lovely afterwards the photographer was brilliant, the food was out of this world all our guest could not praise it enough. When our wedding cake came out well we could not believe how lovely it looked and it tasted fantastic too. Before we knew it, it was time for the DJ to start and Aaron and Lynette thankyou for recommeding him as he was brilliant and in no time at all had everyone up dancing. Carole you an your staff are excellent you sorted everything so perfectly for graham & I right down to the smallest detail an not once did we have to worry about a thing in fact the amount of people that asked us was we worried or nervous about organizing wedding so far away well the answer was not at all as we read all your previous testimonials,we was just so excited an thats how it should be. So Aaron and Lynette thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for giving us such a beautiful perfect day in everyway, we will be in turkey for our first anniversary so we will come down to see you take care .all our love p.s if you like you can add our email address so that if anyone out there are sceptical and need want reassurance of how great you & your team are then yhey can email us Marie & Graham Clark Beach Wedding 30th june 2012 marie1328@sky.com

Hi Carole, We had our wedding on the good ship “Carole Ann” on 5 July 2012. What a brilliant choice it was! We sailed out of Fethiye at 7 pm, into the warm evening sun, with just enough of a breeze to keep everyone comfortable. Within half an hour, we had dropped anchor and the wedding ceremony was underway. A very simple, relaxed event – we were husband and wife in little more than 10 minutes! As the sun set over the distant islands, we had our photos taken with that idyllic backdrop – a view you simply cannot find in the UK. As dusk turned to night, we dined on a beautifully prepared buffet, including freshly barbequed fish, steak, chicken, tasty kebabs, pasta and salad, all washed down with a drink or three from the free bar. After our meal and the speeches, we had some time for dancing. We also opted for some live entertainment – we had a belly dancer onboard. This was the icing on the cake and sealed the exotic flavour of marrying in Turkey. We sailed back in to Fethiye at midnight, a little tired but very happy – it had all gone by so quickly! Carole and her team were the consummate professionals – every aspect of the wedding went without a hitch, plus the boat crew were all so pleasant and helpful. We had the perfect wedding day – we simply could not have had a better time. Sharon Dave Bilbe. Yacht Wedding 5th. July 2012

Hi Aaron, Happy New Year We are well thank you, hope you are well Can’t believe how quick it has gone since our wedding. 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. Aaron and the team catered to all our guests by doing a range of food as we had English and Iranian Family. We had DJ, Fire show and Turkish Dance group which were all brilliant and everyone enjoyed. We had the photographer and videographer and they were both amazing, lovely to have the memories. Me and my Husband and all our family and friends had an amazing time, we would like to say a big thank you for everything Shane & Hayley Beach Wedding 2nd May 2012

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

Hi Carole, Firstly, I'm so sorry it has taken us this long to get back to you but life has been hectic as usual with two little ones! We'd be very happy for you to include this testimonial on your website along with any of our photos... hope it's not too late! We would recommend your service to anyone considering getting married abroad. We decided to use you after seeing numerous recommendations on the Internet, even though we wouldn't have even considered using an independent wedding planner before this. We had absolutely nothing to worry about. Your service was amazing from start to finish. Your experience showed as there was no stress on our part at all...which was very important when bringing our two young children with us. Every email sent to you beforehand with any query was responded to immediately. As we had never met you before arriving in Turkey for the wedding we had the obvious usual concerns that everything was in place, but everything went smoothly. The trip to Antalya for the paperwork without a single hiccup. The thought was more daunting but we actually quite enjoyed it. We must mention Guru the driver/interpreter/organiser. He was fantastic. We were quite concerned about how things would go at the embassy but not at all what we expected. Everything was done by Guru...we barely spoke to anyone! He also took us to the florist on the way back... again very straightforward and we chose our cake from an album. Carole arranged for our first meeting with her to be just before another wedding at the beach venue. Brilliant idea for us to see another wedding before ours. Completely put our minds at rest. On the day all the ladies went to Goldfingers salon to have a variety of treatments/makeup...arranged through Carole. Took a long time so had to rush a bit getting dressed back at the hotel but I was so pleased with what Sharon did with mine and my bridesmaids hair. I think Sharon now goes out to the brides hotel which sounds like a good idea!! The beach setting is lovely. We really want to say a special thank you to Lynette... Carole's daughter. Ours was the first wedding Carole had left her completely in charge of on the day and she did an amazing job. She is so friendly and approachable...just a lovely lady. She even played 'mum' to my 2 yr old daughter when she got tired!! Thank you Lynette...you really helped make it so special x We paid for the following extras: micro lite petal drop, fire show and the Turkish singing duo. All were fantastic. The musicians were the most expensive option but we prefer live music and as we had a small number of guests we didn't mind the cost so much! They were really talented and played a variety of English and Turkish music... Exactly what we wanted. Would really recommend the fire show aswell. A real talking point (especially if you don't tell your guests as we didn't!) Lastly, we thought the photographer and videographer did a really good job. We were really pleased with the results (over 400 of them on cd all included!!)...and I do both for a living so I'm more fussy than most!! Brilliant last shot of the videographer doing the Macarena with all of us! We had a truly amazing day...all our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and thought it was so personal and relaxed. I'm more than happy to be contacted with any questions from prospective couples. Thanks again Carole & team! Ps. Hard to believe we're nearly celebrating our 1st anniversary!

Hi Carole, The venue was breathtakingly beautiful. The ceremony was lovely and a lovely length of time. The food was absolutely delicious. The fire dancer was extremely impressive and the DJ played great music. The micro light plane dropping petals was a beautiful touch. It was a beautiful experience that I would highly recommend and I wouldn't have done it any other way. Bethan and Gareth beach wedding 18th July 2012
