Your team were great and Aaron explained every detail of the day and any thing we wanted to add we just said and he did he was brilliant! Ceremony was nice an quick there was not a dry eye. Photographer and videographer we could not fault all pictures were beautiful and delivered in a stunning album a few days later which I thought was amazing how quickly they were done. Food was delicious no complaints and we had some fussy eaters, dj was great played all the songs we wanted every one was dancing all night! And the fire show was amazing! Truly truly loved every second of our day and would love to do it all again!!! Thank you all!! Many thanks Mr & Mrs Mihell jasona2d@hotmail.co.uk Beach Wedding 28 September 2013

Hi Carole, happy New Year to you too! Yes married life is great thank you!! We would like to thank Carole and her team for making our special day truely magical! We married on the Carole Ann at sunset and it went way beyond our expectations. Everything possible was done to make it as stress free as possible, the team were helpful and eager to give you the day of your dreams. The yacht was decorated beautifully, and as for the scenery, stunning!! We had 55+ guests and everyone was blown away by the whole experience, so many tears shed, smiles shared and memories made! The food was delicious and lots of it, the cake wasn't quite what we had chosen but it didn't bother us and it tasted out of this world. We organised our own music to be played throughout and this worked perfect for us. We met Carole a few days after the wedding and finalise the legalities, all very straight forward, and we were given our photos and video. Wow they were gorgeous and in a beautiful album. The day goes so very quickly, make the most of every minute 'cos I'll guarantee you'll wish you could do it all over again. It's a big thing to let perfect strangers organise your wedding day but I honestly can not recommend Carole and her team high enough!! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Hope tho is ok Carole, once again thank you so much for everything. Marie & Ian White marie.louisene@tiscali.co.uk Yacht Wedding 16 September 2013

HHi Carole Hope you had a great Xmas and New Year. Married life is great thanks. We would like to thank you, Aaron and your team for organising our wedding on 17 September 2013. We met with Aaron a year before our wedding and with the consent of the bride and groom were privileged to view their wedding from a distance. It was clear from observing Arron and the team that they were extremely meticulous and professional. Our wedding was stress free from start to finish as Carol kept regular email contact to ensure all our requests were met and all the legal side was taken care of. Aaron met with us when we arrived and went through every detail of the day, we were also provided with mobile phone incase we wanted to make any last minute changes. Arron was there for the groom arriving and remained until all guests were on the bus at the end of the night. We chose the all-inclusive package it was great value for money and the quality and standard was exceptional. The service from catering and bar staff was amazing all were friendly and welcoming. We received a beautiful wedding album two days after our special day; we also received discs with more photos and a dvd, which captured all our special memories. Photographer and video man were there from groom arrived and like Aaron remained there until our guests left. The DJ was really fantastic and guests were dancing from start to finish. The fire show was awesome and everyone enjoyed this regardless of his or her age. All our guests had a fantastic day and said it was the best wedding that they have been to. Special thanks has to be given to Carole, Aaron and the team who were the ones that made this possible. Our special day was totally stress free which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our experience. We would fully recommend Carole, Aaron and the team if you want a high standard of organisation, stress free and value for money.

Hi Carole, We just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and your team for organising our perfect wedding day. From the moment we told people we were getting married abroad the question that kept being asked was 'is it not stressful arranging a wedding in another country?', the answer was always no. Any worries or questions we had were answered quickly by Carole via email and she guided us through the legal process and told us when to complete any forms etc. along the way. The flexibility of the package meant we could choose which aspects we wanted and which we didn't, creating the day WE wanted! All I had to do was make the decisions and then email Carole and it was done, I can't imagine many weddings are that straight forward. We arrived in Turkey a week before the wedding, during which time we did the trip to Antalya, picked our flowers and cake on the way back and we met with Aaron to finalise details and hand over the things we wanted on the tables, our music etc. We felt very confident after this and rightly so as Aaron took care of all our wishes. We had the all inclusive beach wedding and all of our guests (30 of them) were picked up and taken to Nicholas beach along with the groom. I was collected in a car with my brother and sister and met Kelly there who gave me my flowers and told me and my bridesmaids when to start off down the aisle once the music started. The beach looked perfect and the ceremony was simple but beautiful, just what we wanted. The champagne was poured and our music started and everyone was so relaxed, enjoying the setting. We had time for plenty of photographs, although we used Joanne McNeil Photography, not Carole's photographer. The tables were set lovely and in the order I had asked for, the food was delicious and there really was something for everyone. We had the chocolate cake which was gorgeous and done how I'd asked (I had given a photograph and decorations for it). We had been unsure if we wanted entertainment or not but we are so glad we chose the fire show, it surprised all of our guests and was better than we'd expected ourselves. We made our own playlist and danced until it had to be turned off, at which point we all sat on the beach and listened to a couple of our guests singing, it was a beautifully simple ending to a perfect evening. Since the wedding all we have had is positive comments from our guests; our friends and family had the most amazing time (the free bar helped ha) and many have said it was the best wedding they'd been to. It really was everything we could have wanted and more and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Carole and the team. Mr & Mrs Taylor Beach Wedding 18 September 2013

Dave and Sue Mattey Arranging a wedding at any time can be a daunting task, doing it in a foreign country can be a minefield, that is, until we decided to use Carole and her team to assist with our big day. We had been to Olu Deniz on holiday, visited the Blue Lagoon and saw the advertisement for beach weddings and thought how brilliant it would be to be married on the beach there. Once we returned home and done some research via Carole's website, read the testimonials, even trip advisor, we decided that we would be foolish not to use her knowledge and experience, we definitely made the right choice. After a few excited e mails, we came up with the date for our wedding and duly paid our deposit. Carole made it clear that we wouldn't hear from her until the new year but if we had any questions whatsoever then just e mail her and she would get back to us ASAP. I can only imagine that she gets bombarded with questions which nervous brides and grooms have probably asked her a thousand times, we tried to limit the questions to her, but true to her word, any we had were answered quickly and precisely. Might I add that the wedding forum is superb for all your questions with past couples putting your mind at ease over your worries about your big day. The e mail arrived telling us to get paperwork in order and giving us all the info we needed for entertainment, food, music etc. We made our decisions, let Carole know & then started counting down the days. A few days after arriving in Turkey, we were met at our hotel by Carole's assistant, Aaron. What can I say about this guy that hasn't already been said ? We weren't really worried over anything but Aaron put our minds totally at ease. He explained everything fully in detail of how the day would pan out . He listened to some of our requests that we wanted to put into the service and was more than happy to accommodate our needs. The phone was given to us for communication with Him, Carole and Sharon the hairdresser, should we have any last minute requests, more reassurance. The trip to Antalya for your paperwork is an early start but honestly isn't as bad as some people make it out to be, especially if you share the trip with a great couple as we did. The medical is hilarious followed by a visit to the bakery to choose your cake. Try not to arrange your stag and hen night on this night as we did or it becomes a very long day lol. And so to our wedding day. Another assistant, Kelly, was at the hotel to see our guests onto the buses and then at the beach to assist Sue before she made the walk down the aisle. Aaron met me, wished me luck and then it happened. The service was short, but beautiful, all translated by the lovely Emma. The Dj, Bulent, who I can highly recommend, played background music whilst photos were taken, which along with the video were excellent quality, still trying to choose from the 850 taken !! The tables were decorated beautifully, and Alex and his team at the beach did us proud with the food. All our guests commented on how good it was, a choice of steak, kebabs and fish, all freshly cooked and served with beautiful salad selections. The food was hot and plentiful. Our guests made great use of the inclusive bar. We opted for some entertainment to surprise our guests and chose the belly dancer and fire dancer, both were brilliant and the belly dancer gets everyone involved creating a great atmosphere. We were then left to dance the night away under the stars to great tunes from Bulent. A few days later, we were met by Carole who handed us our beautiful photo album, filled a bit of paperwork in, and that was that. We can't rate Carole and her team highly enough, they really did everything we wished for and more to make our day so special and nothing was too much trouble. We have made new friends through our experience and will gladly pass on any tips or recommendations to future brides and grooms. So if you're looking for a wedding in Turkey, that will be planned with care and expertise, look no further than Carole and her team Dave and Sue Mattey dave.mattey@talktalk.net Beach Wedding 19 September 2013

Hi Carole! We just wanted to say a huge “Thank you” to you and your incredible team. It’s kind of difficult to express just how fantastic our day was. We still get all emotional thinking about it. Every small detail was perfect and our 15 guests also had an absolute blast. The drivers, the beach venue staff, Photographer, Videographer, DJ, Belly dancer (Oh, we all loved that lady! Especially our male guests!) Aaron and yourself Carole, all work tirelessly to ensure that each couple have the time of their lives and we sure did! Even the dreaded trip to Antalya was enjoyable, as we travelled with a lovely couple, Dave and Sue Mattey who were marrying the day before us, what a laugh we had with them! I was so shocked at how very calm myself an Leigh were on the wedding day and this was all down to the fact that you guys totally took the stress out of the day and that means so much to us. We loved the photos and video, we howled laughing at them when we returned home! We just want to do it all over again and would never change a single thing. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, for not only arranging our day but also becoming part of our very happy memories! Jane and Leigh Betteridge Beach Wedding 20 september 2013

Hi Carole, Happy New year to you too :-) Carl and I loved our day so much, it was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't change a thing. Everything went so smoothly, we didn't have to do much, just turn up! All of our guests had a great time and they all said how lovely the food was. We would definitely recommend you and your team to anyone who is thinking of getting married abroad. I just wish we could do it all again! :-D Thanks again, Amy & Carl Maddocks aimicles@googlemail.com Beach Wedding 22 September 2013

Hi Carole sorry for the delay see below, it's quite long so feel free to cut it down if you like. Would just like to thank everyone for organising such an amazing wedding day it was everything we had hoped for and more! We arrived in Turkey one week before the wedding, the day trip to Antalya was long and tiring and a very early start but the day is necessary all the paperwork was done, cake was chosen, we could have organised flowers but I took my own as I wanted them to match the bridesmaid dresses, we were back late afternoon so managed to get some sunshine when we got back. We met with Aaron on a different day at the venue and to be honest we were concerned that on the day it wouldn't be like we imagined as we sat there talking about the ceremony with lots of tourists on the beach and at the bar area and we couldn't picture how it would look without them there! Aaron was good going through everything how it would work on the day, we discussed the food, order of the day, table plans - all very useful and had some flexibility with the order of things for the day; food, speeches, cake cutting etc. The day of the wedding; we had booked Sharon the hairdresser on Carole's website she was excellent, good value for money, very experienced, I showed her a picture of the sort of style I wanted and she worked her magic. She fitted in my hair, 3 bridesmaid's and my flower girl all in one afternoon. The car picked us up and took us the venue. It was very emotional on arrival and we had no need to be worried it looked amazing, there were no tourists around all the beach chairs were removed just a lovely red carpet area down to the wedding party where our guests were waiting on the beach. The ceremony was great, I was worried about it being in Turkish and being translated however it was fine and it actually gave us some time to get ourselves together and fight back the tears before saying the next 'I do'. We had a truly amazing day, our guests loved the relaxed atmosphere, fabulous area, great food, free bar was excellent (full package), we opted for a Belly Dancer who was very entertaining and had everyone up dancing before the DJ kicked in. Was great the kids were running around dancing and playing on the beach. The coach dropped us off back to our hotel. Was so much better than we had hoped it would be. Our photo's are amazing and such a lovely keep sake to capture the day and show those back at home who couldn't make it. We had the video too (with the full package) it's lovely to look back on, it captures the full day, it's not edited so is quite long but so much fun to look back on and the bits you forget about! The day goes so quickly I just want to do it again - and i'm hoping for our 10 year anniversary we will do it all again and renew our vows - I wouldn't change a thing! If any brides to be wanted to contact me to ask any questions feel free - therasealgar@hotmail.com before I booked I contacted some brides to ask some questions and found it really useful.

Hi Carole, Apologies for the delay. Here is our testimonial: 'Carole and Aaron were both fantastic. Our day/night could not have gone any better, we were extremely satisfied with everything that the team had done in terms of setting up the beach for the ceremony to the reception afterwards. The contact we had with Aaron leading up to the wedding was very satisfactory with clear and concise information. Then the meeting we had with him to discuss colours and the layout etc was really satisfying to know that everything was being taken care of in the way we wanted it to be. Overall, we would highly recommend using Carole and her team to make your day special. We were extremely satisfied with everything to do with our wedding and have already recommended them to others.Our guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to and we couldn't have been happier. A massive thank you to Carole and Aaron . Clare and Matthew Stevenson clarelouise87uk@hotmail.co.uk Beach Wedding 27 August 2013

Hi Carole Happy New Year! We had a great day and we wish we could do it all over again! Maybe we will renew our vows in a few years time? (obviously with yourselves) :) The ceremony was lovely and watching the DVD with everyone when we got home gave everyone a good laugh when the random people were casually swimming by in the background, this really didn't bother us as we were totally oblivious to them as we were too busy getting married :) The whole day was brilliant, the only thing I would have changed was the heat as it was sooo hot that day but that's what you should expect when getting married at the end of August and wearing a dress with a long trail! All of our family and friends had a brilliant time and told us that it is the best wedding they have ever been to. The fire-show was amazing and a real crowd pleaser. The flowers were lovely and the cake was gorgeous. Everyone enjoyed the food and the tables looked amazing. The whole day was as a wedding day should be 'unforgettable'. My shoes and dress may have been stained by the wet sand and everyone was very sweaty due to the heat but we did get married on a beautiful beach and have a lovely ceremony and the most amazing reception do ever!!
