Hi Apologies for the delay in replying. Our wedding was perfect; the location was beautiful, and the organisation from Carole, Lynette and Aaron meant that we could have a relaxing holiday before, and after our wedding. We wouldn’t have swapped the day for anything else, and wouldn’t have swapped Carole and Aaron to organise it. Hope this is ok Regards Dave and Anita Ayres David.Ayres@InsightInvestment.com Beach Wedding 18 August 2013

Hi Carole We are very well thank you. Happy New year to aswell! I have our testimonial here. I did try putting it directly on to your website but there was a problem with the e-mail format or something. We'd like to first say thank you, to you and your staff Carole. For all the hard the hard work you put in. We had an Amazing Wedding! Ours was a double wedding and Carole, Lynette and Aaron rose to the challenge. They took all the stress out of the wedding planning. Everything was better than we had hoped for and so relaxed!! The ceremony, was beautiful. I really cannot describe it any better than perfect. The venue and setting looked gorgeous, with the colour scheme of our choice. Although all of the staff are wonderful (Aaron put his heart and soul into making our day). We must give both the photographer and camera man a mention. They stayed with us almost until the end of our evening, took some amazing pics. With over a thousand on the disc. The 2 Dvd's, are really well done and brilliant to watch, and those who couldn't make it to Turkey have been able to watch the ceremony for themselves. The wedding albums and the pictures mounted in them are stunning. Something for us to treasure. We cannot fault Carole. They work hard to make your day special, and easily cleared any hurdle we put in their way. It was, without doubt, one of the happiest days of our lives. P.s The wedding cake!! (we opted for the fruit sponge) Tasted Gorgeous, our guests were going back for seconds!! Ronnie & Amanda Ellerby millie-mol@hotmail.com Beach Wedding 20 August 2013

Thank you for your help in planning our wonderful wedding day in august 2013, it was a lovely day. Booked wedding in august 2012, and right up until the big day, and even after, Carole was on hand to answer any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble. I left my little girls flower girl dress in turkey and carole and her team posted it back to us in the uk, which we were very grateful for. We never had to stress about anything, carole emailed us throughout the year to ask us to do certain things, the legal side of things mainly, which was very simple as carole and her team do all the hard work. We never had to worry about anything other than choosing our colour scheme and wedding music :) The days itself was beautiful, only problem being it goes very quickly with it only being an evening. Location was beautiful. Ceremony was short but very sweet. Photograper took lots of photos and provided us with an album and disc, which we were happy with. Food served at the venue was delicious and plentiful, everybody enjoyed it. DJ played a good variety of music, as well as any requests we had. Belly dancer was excellent, really got the party started. Overall we enjoyed a stress free wedding, in a simple and romantic setting, joined by just our close family and friends. Perfect.

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.

Hi Carole, Hope you are well? Sorry for the late reply, we have been away and have not had time to write back. Here is our testimony below: We would like to thank Carole and Aaron for organising and making our wedding day really very special. We were a bit apprehensive to begin with about having all contact via email, but Carole couldn’t have been more helpful with providing us with all the information we needed and guiding us through the process. All enquiries were answered swiftly and we felt safe in the knowledge that everything was in hand. Upon meeting with Aaron at our hotel in Turkey we were made to feel at ease as we organised not only our wedding day but also the trip to the British Consulate in Antalya. This trip went smoothly and hassle free helped by the taxi drivers. The location for the beach wedding was beautiful and it was handy to have Aaron on the scene to keep the wedding day running as planned; the day was stress-free which enabled us to enjoy ourselves. Our DJ was excellent, playing a range of music and our requests. We had the fire show and belly dancer as our entertainment which we would highly recommend as it helped our guests get in the party mood. The buffet food was plentiful and very nice. All in all we would like to thank Carole and her team as we had a great time with lots of photos and a video to remind us of our day and evening. We are so glad that we chose to have our wedding in Turkey arranged by Carole. We would highly recommend. Irene & Oliver Bishton oliver.bishton@yahoo.co.uk Beach Wedding 6 July 2013

Hi Carole, Just a quick note to say thank you so, so much for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. I can honestly say that every single aspect of the big day surpassed all of our expectations. Right the way from our day trip to the consulate we felt completely confident in you and your team, which made it so much easier for us to relax and enjoy ourselves. As for the day itself, the ceremony was beautiful, the decoration exactly as we wanted it, the food was perfect (and plenty of it!), and overall it was a magical day! I would recommend the Turkish dance troupe, great value for money and they really made the evening fun, and helped to round off a perfect day. Also the petal drop was great, especially the looks on the faces of people who weren’t expecting a micro light to dive bomb the wedding party! As well as all the elements of the day being exactly what we wanted, we were also really pleased with our wedding album, DVD and photos, they are all really great and very professionally finished. Lastly, we received our letter from the registration office in the UK promptly, and it was great that all the red tape, signing forms side of things was looked after, I don’t think I’d know where to start! Once again, thank you all so, so much, we really did have the best day we could possibly imagine! Best Wishes to you and all the team, Ryan and Charlotte (Mr & Mrs Gleeson) gleesonryan@rocketmail.com Beach Wedding 4 May 2013

We thought long and hard about getting married abroad ,and after a lot of heated debate we decided to go with the abroad option. We was recommended by a friend to use xxxxxxxxxx ,so we looked on their web site and and decided that turkey looked beautiful And the savings in getting married there were great,it worked out much cheaper than getting married in the UK. We contacted carole on the website to confirm our booking and we was run through via email what we had to do in the uk step by step. Carole was very helpful and always replied to our emails promptly. When we arrived in Turkey we were supported by the staff of the company daily and found them very helpful leading up to the wedding day. Olundniz is the most beautiful places on earth and the wedding location is out of this world. Our wedding day went without a hitch and was very the best day of our lives. Olundniz is great for a honeymoon,the beaches and night life are fantastic. We are still happily married and life is fantastic,we are planning to go back to Turkey for our holidays as it is such a beautiful place . I would recommend getting married there to anyone.

My husband and I had the most amazing Wedding that we could of hoped for. Carole and Aaron who over saw the whole experience where the best.

Hi Carole Happy new year, sorry it's taken so long to give you our testimonial but things have been so hectic since we got married in July 2013. Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and your team for making our wedding day so fantastic, even though we only had a small wedding party everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Aaron did a fantastic job and on the day Kelly was great and a real credit to you, the barbecue Buffett was lovely and the belly dancer and fire dancer I can thoroughly recommend. Photographer did an excellent job and the DVD was lovely. We are so glad we got the beach wedding package and the value for money is great, I only wish I could do it all again! so much better than getting married back home. I hope you and all your brides & grooms have a fantastic 2014 Katrina & Kevin Townsend katrinacotton12@aol.com Beach Wedding 13 July 2013

Hi Carole, We would just like to say a massive thank you to you and your team, for the amazing job you all did in organising our wedding aboard the gulet. We can honestly say the whole day was absolutely perfect. All of our 48 guests thoroughly enjoyed the day, the gulet looked amazing and the food was great. You and Aaron made sure that everything went smoothly from the moment we booked the wedding,until we collected our gorgeous photos several days later. Our wedding day was truly memorable and we would recommend the gulet wedding to anyone looking for something a little bit different. Thanks again to you all.

Hi Carole Just wanted to thank you for everything you arranged for our wedding in July 13. We couldn’t have asked for a better day! We would therefore be delighted to offer a testimonial to your services. We had spent some time trawling through the internet at different sites that offered wedding packages, but in the end we opted for Carol as the reviews were all positive. Emails were replied to promptly and all questions were answered, despite how minor, putting our minds at ease. Carole contacted us at all of the different stages to let us know what to do next. She was so lovely and patient when I kept changing our colour scheme due fussy bridesmaids. One big tip I would offer to future brides is to do what you want, not what everyone else wants. It can get so stressful with everyone changing their minds, but at the end of the day it is YOUR wedding, not theirs. The trip to Antalya was a long day and early start, but our Driver was fantastic. He chatted with us during our journey, stopping off for lunch, and even stopped at a chemist for us as I was in agony with mosquito bites! He took us to choose our wedding cake and accompanied us to the GP for our ‘medical’. The early start wasn’t as bad as I thought – in fact I got up at the crack of dawn the following day too – it was lovely listening to the birds and drinking coffee without the humid heat. On our return from Antalya we met up with Carole who introduced us to Aaron who would be looking after us and making all of the arrangements. He was great. Aaron went through the wedding day’s schedule with us, showed us the vows we would be taking and how we would be getting there etc. There were only one or two slight hiccups on the day, one in that our guests were originally to be picked up on the main road and myself and my bridesmaids at our villa. However, having gone to the beach location and having a drink at the bar prior to the wedding, we chatted with the owner (who would be driving the wedding car) and introduced ourselves . He said his driver would collect our guests from the villa 15 minutes before I was to leave. Unfortunately he forgot to tell his driver! This meant that I had to sit in the car and wait until the guests had left, and then we drove slow to Olu Deniz. Apart from being so hot and sweaty, it was okay because we sat at the top of the hill watching everyone on the beach get themselves organised. It didn’t spoil our day though and this shouldn’t have any reflection on Carol’s services. The wedding itself was truly beautiful. I thought I was going to be a complete nervous wreck but in fact I was the opposite! I was completely relaxed and would advise anyone who gets nervous to get married this way! I’m really sorry I can’t remember her name, but our translator was brilliant. The photographer was amazing!! He made you feel so completely at ease that you forgot you were having your wedding photographs taken, which incidentally are wonderful and so many of them. The food was lovely but was spoiled by the presence of wasps and everyone running away from the table. However, Aaron subsequently sorted this by bringing out the citronella candles and got rid of the little blighters. We had organised the fire show as a surprise for our guests which was really good and the kids enjoyed it. Only downside was that they turned up late and we were still waiting to have our first dance which seemed to cut short our ‘party time’. After the wedding we met up again with Carole in Fethiye as planned to go the Registry Office. She told us what to write and where to sign etc and then presented us with a photo album of our wedding day. It was fantastic. We couldn’t recommend a better photographer. In total I think there were about 500 photos on a CD and a video as well as the album. So, to summarise I would definitely recommend Carole and her team for planning your dream wedding and I would definitely recommend Turkey, it is a beautiful country. The biggest downside is that now it’s all done I want to do it all again!lol. Obviously with my same wonderful husband, Mark. Amanda & Mark dawndwyer@hotmail.co.uk Beach Wedding 22 June 2013
