2013

Hi Carole and the Team! As I write this in January 2014 it seems so long ago that we were on the beach at The Blue Lagoon! I can't wait to return to this gorgeous place and have now also converted my friends and family to holidaying in Turkey in the future. Firstly I want to assure any perspective brides (and grooms!) that may be thinking about getting married in Turkey that Carole and her team will guide you all the way from start to finish. However silly you think your questions to them are, they really do know what they are doing and will always return emails as soon as they can. The wedding preparations..... Most of the paper work is done before you go over to turkey, certificate of non impediment, passport photos etc..... Carole will let you know when to apply for the CNI so everything will be completed on time. Antalya.....this is a long day, but if you prepare yourself for the fact that it will be an all day trip then it isn't a big deal, this is also when you choose your cake and flowers if you are sorting them out through Carole. If you have children with you then it probably is a good idea to organise someone to have them for the day if possible as it is a very early start and quite a long day. The big day! June 4th 2013....This was even more amazing than we could have imagined! There is no way that you would get anything like that in the UK for what we paid. Carole caters for all packages, whether you want all inclusive.....food only.....whatever suits you! We had a buffet package with no drinks included as you wouldn't expect the bride and groom to normally pay for your drinks so we didn't think it was necessary, and put the money towards entertainment instead. The cake we chose matched exactly with the colour theme of the wedding, all I added was my own cake topper. As entertainment we booked the belly dancer to start off with to get everyone up and dancing and she was brilliant! Well worth the money. We also booked the Fire Dancer..... Absolutely brilliant! Cannot recommend these 2 acts enough, they really did make the night memorable! Also I'd like to mention Sharon, the hairdresser that we used through Carole. She was so accommodating towards us, coming up to our apartment when it suited us and did miracles really considering that I didn't even know what I actually wanted until she got there and fitted in my 2 bridesmaids, my cousin and my aunty all in before me on her own god love her!! I really can't recommend Carole and her team enough. From start to finish I felt that everything was under control, (obviously from years of doing this) and everyone involved were completely professional.

First of all we had the most AMAZING Wedding Day we could have ever wished for and it is certainly a day neither ourselves nor our guests will ever forget. We came upon Carole website as we were researching on getting married abroad. We looked around the website at the pictures and testimonials and everything seemed so good that we thought that it was going to be so expensive, so we checked out the package prices and could not believe what a great deal it was for the service we would get. We decided to go for it and fire a few emails off to Carole. We got response more or less straight away and she soon put us at ease that we booked our Wedding day for June 2013. We were still slightly concerned that we were handing money over to people we had never met and that they would be arranging the most important day of our lives but seriously to future Brides & Grooms there is no need. When we arrived we had a couple of days holiday before we had to go off for the day to do all the legalities, a very long day especially in the heat but it has to be done. We got talking to some other couples at the embassy and the rest stops who had booked their weddings through big name Travel companies and it was then that we really started to see what a fantastic deal we were getting with Carole. Before the actual Wedding Day we had to go pay the remainder of our bill at the location where we would be getting married. That’s when we met Aaron one of Carole’s team but also Carole’s son in law. He was absolutely brilliant with us and was so friendly straight away we were put at ease. At first we were going to supply a disc with our own music for the wedding instead of a DJ but Lynette and Carole recommended we have the DJ and we are so glad we did. For future couples we would recommend the DJ every time he was absolutely fantastic. We also had the Fire show and the Belly dancer, none of our guests were aware of the entertainment we had lined up so it was a big surprise and we would recommend them both as they were both amazing. On our actual Wedding day we had all day to kill as were weren’t getting married till 7pm. I had a Turkish bath before getting ready and my husband to be went to the beach with the family and then the boys went for Turkish shaves. Before my arrival at the beach my husband to be who is quite a nervous person said that Carole was absolutely amazing with him from the moment he got there, putting him at ease and constantly talking to him to take his mind off things. The rest of the team were putting the last touches to the location and flowers on our guests. Everything went so smoothly the only hiccup was the Registrar was a little late but that was out of anyone’s control and certainly did not hinder the day at all. Following the wedding we went to meet Carole to pick up our wedding certificate and photos and video. To be honest my husband and I weren’t expecting much with the photos and had already said we will get a proper album made up in the UK. How wrong we were we, Carole handed us a gorgeous white leather album, nothing like what we expected at all. The pictures were all amazing and still now I love to look at them all the time. Since our return I have recommended Carole to people who have mentioned getting married abroad and will continue to do so. All the team were brilliant and made our day so special. We have both discussed going back and renewing our vows in 10 years, we can’t wait. Jayne & Craig Bagnell jaynecraig@sky.com Beach Wedding 5 June 2013

Hi Carole sorry it's taken so long!! Here it is: From beginning to end WOW is all I can say!! Carole and team did an amazing job, from planning Whilst still in the UK, to the actual wedding day, nothing was too much trouble. Themes and colours were exactly how we wanted things, down to the last detail!!! We had a truly amazing day, the venue is beautiful!! The bar staff and catering couldn't do enough for us We also loved the fact that we got 4 hours free bar which we paid for but this made a massive difference for our guests!! When I arrived with the driver, bridesmaids and my dad I was made to feel like a Hollywood star, the red carpet is a beautiful touch to the beach wedding! The set up of the venue was truly beautiful and captured well in the photos!! The photographer was amazing capturing some very special moments (please see photos!) I would 100% recommend Carole and team, our day was so special, really wish I could do it all again!! From us is a huge thank you for our wonderful day, thinking if coming back to Olu Deniz for first anniversary it's a beautiful place!! If your thinking of getting married abroad this is defiantly the place and Carole is definitely the person to contact!! Daniel & Emma Attenborough emmas750@gmail.com Beach Wedding 9 June 2013

Hi Carole, Hope you are all well and working hard. Just like to say thank you to you and your team for the best experience of our lives, everything seemed to fall into place effortlessly thanks to Kelly and Emma. We would like to say everything was carried out in a very professional manner, from the first meeting with Carole in June 2012 to discuss preparations to our last meeting with Aaron to finalise proceedings. The trip to Antalya was a bit harrowing for Val as she is not a good traveller but soon perked up back in Fethiye choosing the flowers and cake. Finally we would recommend your service to anyone considering getting married in Turkey and would be pleased for you to include this testimonial and photographs of our special day on your website. Please pass on our special thanks to Kelly, Emma and the team for making June 10th the best day of our lives. Kind Regards Bob & Val Mealor BobMealor@aol.com Beach Wedding 10 June 2013
