2013

Hi Carole Happy New Year, Myself and husband wanted to get married in Turkey as it was our first holiday together and where we fell in love, I don't think it would have felt right anywhere else. We did an internet search for Turkish Weddings, with Carole being the first to meet our eye I read through the information and contacted Carole asking 101 questions. We booked our wedding for June 16th 2013 and opted for the beach setting. From arriving in Turkey to the special day we were taken care of, the setting was beautiful, organisation great, food even better ! We would like to say an extra thank you to Aaron, you made the day what it was your a star. Leanne & Aden Simpson leanne.holmes@yahoo.co.uk Beach Wedding 16 June 2013

Hi Carol, Married life is treating us very well and we had a fantastic start thanks to you! Our day could not have been any more perfect and I would not change a single thing if I could go back and do it again. We got married in June 2013, gorgeous weather and just right by 7pm. Sharon came out to my hotel to do my hair plus bridesmaids and other relatives. She was with us for hours and did such a fantastic job - I didn't even have a trial and it was perfect. (I would advise booking Sharon to all future brides, she really does know what she's doing and is so friendly). My guests were collected by minibus including my husband to be and then myself, bridesmaids and mum travelled in a separate car. We had booked the DJ and belly dancer which I would still choose, the belly dancer got everyone up on their feet and I have the most hilarious photos of my husband and father in law! I'm glad I didn't have to worry about providing my own playlists and the DJ played everything from old to modern, getting everyone from a 2 year old to a nearly 80 year old up on their feet. The trip to Antalya 2 days before the wedding was long and hot and unfortunately there were problems the day we went due to power cuts but reading everyone else's experiences it seems as though we were just very unlucky that day. The wedding itself more than made up for it. The whole team made our day so special, even putting together our wooden guest book puzzle in the shape of Turkey just about lol. The free bar was great and the food was lovely. It was so nice to have the wedding, photos on the beach in both sunlight and at sunset and then walk a few metres to the reception. I wasn't sure I was making the right decision in booking a wedding planner abroad but after reading the reviews and now having done it, all it can say is, you will not regret it. Most amazing day and we will be back one day for our vow renewals! Anna & Wayne Hughes mrsahughes13@gmail.com Beach Wedding 19 June 2013

Hi Carole, Myself and Nick would like to say a massive Thank You to you and your team for making our wedding day so special and stress free. From the first contact I made regarding our wedding via e-mail up till the day of the wedding Carole had organised everything. All the appointments and arrangements of paper work were done by Carole, all we had to do was send over paper work that was required and let Carole know what ideas we had for the wedding. Carole provided a contact for hair and make-up, which was Sharon. I was so glad to use Sharon as she had done mine, my bridesmaids, my mother and mother in-laws hair and makeup- which turned out beautiful! We booked a DJ and had a Turkish Dancer perform which was fantastic! The Turkish dancer kicked off the party and was a fantastic show to see and get involved in! We also had the photographer and Videographer and they did a great job - they stayed pretty much all night! the video and pictures captured everything and has given us greatmemories to look back on. The ceremony itself was beautiful and decorated with the colours that we wanted. It was a beautiful setting. The only downside I had was the flowers. I ordered flowers for myself, my maid of honour and my bridesmaid. Although the flowers I received were beautiful they were not what I had asked for. The florist had got my order wrong. The florist did not speak English, so she mis-understood what I wanted. Even though this wasn't down to Carole and the mistake wasn't made by herself or her team she did refund me half of the amount I had paid for the flowers, which I was grateful for. We also hired a boat the day before our wedding to treat our friends and family. We hired this through Carole's Excursions which was fantastic! we all had such a fun day and the lunch that was provided was so tasty! We would defiantly recommend booking a boat trip through Carol, before your wedding day as it is a great way to relax and before the big day. Once again thank you so much! with out you and your team it wouldn't of been half as special. Mr & Mrs Treadwell sarah.canty@yahoo.co.uk Beach Wedding 29 June 2013

Hi Carole Well I hope you are all well and had a fantastic Summer. My Husband and I would just like to Thank you for all the help arranging the most PERFECT wedding we could ask for. We booked our wedding back in May 2012 we love Turkey and always wanted to get married abroad and after hearing a friends wedding which too place with use it just looked so nice and decided to book the date for 1st July 2013. We were always unsure about ‘what if this’ and ‘what if that’ but you were just all amazing .Everything I asked via email etc were all answered with in 24 hours and just kept our minds at rest . We done the 4 hour journey to the Government office which went very quick and we shared the car with another couple who were lovely. This was to organise the cake and flowers, I just needed to pick put a cake and I told artificial flowers over with me. The driver was fantastic as he pretty much done everything we just followed. We meet up with Kelly and Arron 4 days after arriving to go through all the colour scheme, guest, music, planning the whole everything. Kelly was a massive help as I told her the way I wanted the venue to look and also to arrange the rings to be tied on to a ring pillow that my 6 years old son walked up the carpet with to hand to the best man which when the time was ready my father and mother inlaw walked up to untie as a sign of letting us go. When I arrived at the venue and seen the way it was all decorated in the colours it was just beautiful, the setting and beach was stunning. The vows were very easy….well for my husband they were as for me I did cry and found it a little harder. The ceremony was finished with in 10 minutes which was fabulous as we were very hot until the sun went down. After the ceremony the photography was just great he got pictures of everyone that I asked for and let me pick pictures as well that I wanted done, the pictures of my husband and myself when the sun is going down are just amazing, he got some lovely pictures of my 2 boys aswell which I just love. While the pictures were going on the guest got to go up and get drinks and sit and chat while we were doing the pictures, Kelly brought us over a drink for us while were in the sand getting pictures done. Kelly made sure all the music that I picked for our dances were all on time, she organised high chairs for the babies, all my favours were all set out the way I wanted them, name cards were all in order…….Just perfect. We meet Carole and the photography a few days later to pick up our pictures and cd, we also got a album of 14 pictures which I asked if it could be a mixture of us and parents/ guest and he done this perfectly. If we could go back and do it all again we would in a heart beat, we couldn’t have picked a perfect venue, We just want to say thank you for turning what should be a stressful day into a stress free day which everything went to plan perfectly couldn’t have asked for a better day.
