11th June 2018We are finally home & back to reality after a fantastic, fun filled two weeks in Turkey! We just want to say a massive THANK YOU to you, Durmus, Aaron and Lynette, the bar staff/boat crew & everyone else who helped on the day for giving us the experience of a life time, right from the moment we sent you an email enquiry 18 months ago to the day we finally met you in Fethiye, the service, help & advice we received was second to none. You always responded to my emails (most of them more like essays than the ‘quick notes’ they claimed to be!!) within a reasonable amount of time making sure you gave me all the information I was asking for and more. The day we went to Antalya for all the ‘legal stuff’ was no where near as bad as we thought it would be, mostly due to the fact Durmus was so kind, helpful & informative, answering any questions we had as well as taking the time to tell us about the places we were visiting which we found really interesting. He even made sure we had time to do a spot of shopping .much to Andy’s dismay! The choosing of the cake finished the day off perfectly, we were surprised by the number of designs there were to choose from considering the cost was included in the package price and we were super impressed when Durmus told us we could have the cake decorated to match our chosen colour scheme. Having the Turkish mobile really helped us feel at ease, knowing that we could contact you whenever we needed to and was just one of those added extras that really made your service unique to any others we had looked into previously. Our meeting with Aaron and Lynette to go over the finer details, pay what we owed and hand over the favours we had bought was relaxed and convenient as it was at our hotel so we didn’t need to travel anywhere. Aaron and Lynette went through everything with us to make sure everything on the day would be just how we wanted it to be. On the day of the wedding the coaches arrived on time to transport our guests to Fethiye, everyone was really pleased with the standard of service and commented on the convenience of being picked up from our hotel. I particularly loved that my driver (I’m really sorry I have forgotten his name!!) wore a purple shirt, not sure whether this was deliberate but seeing as it went perfectly with the colour scheme it seemed a nice touch! Words can not express the sheer shock and delight I felt when I saw the boat all decorated and with our guests on board, it was everything I ever dreamed it would be and more. Up until that point I had been really relaxed & calm but it took my breath away and the tears began to flow, not just from me either. My mum and Dad also struggled to contain their amazement! Every last detail was perfect, the colours, the table plans, the music we provided was played without any hiccups (something that does not happen very often at weddings in England haha!) Not to mention the backing tracks we provided for our niece, Chloe to sing to, they were played effortlessly and at just the right times throughout the day, with Aaron and Lynette making sure Chloe knew when she was due to sing. (As he did with those who did readings for us as well!) The food was amazing and even the guests who are known to us as being fussy with their food commented on just how nice it was everything was. The one thing that made it even more special, as I said when we saw you in Fethiye was when the taxi boat delivered 2 bottles of brandy so I could have my favourite tipple, I can’t thank you or Aaron and Lynette enough for arranging that. As if the boat wasn’t special enough, to have a James Bond style delivery really got everyone talking!! We really enjoyed the micro light petal drop more so watching them desperately trying to fly over the boat as centrally as possible despite the breeze! Lastly, the photographs are breath taking. The photographer made sure every photo we requested was in the album & we have looked through the CD loads of times and still keep picking out things we either didn’t think we noticed on the day or had forgotten about. He really has captured the true happiness we felt and the emotions of all our guests. The tranquillity and true beauty of our surroundings are obvious in every single photo. We haven’t watched the DVD as yet, after our English reception we are hosting a film night to show all our friends and family the magic you helped to create on our special day. We really can not praise ‘Beach Weddings by Carole’ enough for making our wedding day so memorable, every single one of our guests has complimented the attention to detail, the organisation and just how amazing it was to witness our marriage in such beautiful surroundings. We can and will highly recommend to anyone to book a wedding through you, it was fantastic value for money and the service throughout from everyone involved was of such a high standard it out shone any hotel wedding we have ever attended! Thank you once again, we can’t wait to see our photos on your website at long last, we have spent the last year and a half looking at those already on there and it will feel surreal to see our faces amongst the other couples lucky enough to have had you plan their weddings! Lots of love Hanna and Andy Williamson Yacht Wedding 06 October 2012
