Wedding Turkey Testimonials

We had a wonderful experience with Oludeniz Beach Weddings! The booking process was super easy. From the moment we first reached out to OBW, they were very responsive and informative and maintained that level of communication throughout the process. There were plenty of opportunities to customize the wedding, when it comes to decor, activities, etc.
 

The pre-wedding meeting was super helpful to iron out all the final details and run through the order of events for the wedding, including a detailed overview of the ceremony itself. We did not opt to have a legal ceremony as we decided to get legally married in our home country separately, but the blessing ceremony was just as special and we still provided a certificate to sign during the ceremony.
 

Wedding day hair and makeup was such a fun experience and the staff at Goldfinger Salon did an incredible job. Everyone was so impressed - the groom and groomsmen also raved about their experience at the men's salon and to this day still talk about how much fun they had getting pampered before the wedding.
 

The venue- oh my GOSH, Cold Water Bay and the restaurant patio there is so beautiful. The location was just absolutely stunning. It is definitely an adventure to get there, but it feels secluded and tucked away- perfect for someone who really wants to get married in a scenic natural backdrop. OBW seamlessly handled all the logistics of getting everyone to and from the wedding, to and from salons, etc. on the wedding day which was so great. I truly had no worries on my wedding day and just got to enjoy it. The flower arrangements were beautiful. I paid a nominal fee for a few extra flowers - totally reasonable amount- and it was worth it, they turned out gorgeous. All of my guests continue to tell me to this day that the food they had at our wedding was some of the best food they've eaten at any wedding. It was truly delicious and generous amounts of it too. I loved the food at our wedding so much. The photographer was excellent. Our pictures are stunning. The turnaround time to receiving our pictures and video after the wedding was incredibly fast and they look totally professional and perfect.
 

Turkey as a destination - it's the perfect place to vacation and to have a wedding. People there are so friendly, the food is amazing, the views and beaches are stunning. The weather is great too. I can't wait to go back to Turkey in the future.
 

OBW did an absolutely outstanding job planning our wedding and it was the best night of our lives!! Don't hesitate to book with them, you will be so glad you did. Also, the pricing is just so incredibly reasonable, but the big day exceeded our expectations in every way. Cannot recommend them highly enough. 

We had the best wedding day, what dreams are made off! 

We actually booked with only 6 months to go, as our previous venue had cancelled. From the moment we made contact with Rachel I knew everything was just so much better. Everyone is so helpful and good at replying to emails and sourcing anything you need. We also used the bits and bobs very friendly helpful.
 

Our wedding was at the MERI resort absolutely stunning views and very good if you want your wedding more private. We had drinks included which I definitely recommend and I think our guest enjoyed a lot.
 

I was bit stress before about flowers, photos and just how the day would flow before arriving in Turkey. I should never worried everything was so smooth, the pre wedding meeting is so helpful and you have lots of options they really will go above and beyond for you.
 

Our wedding coordinator from the day was amazing, everyone enjoyed the whole evening. 
 

We booked the belly dancer and fire dancer I would say doing both of these doesn't leave a lot of time for disco at the end however our guests loved it. I think that was just me not wanting the day to end .... 
 

I would do it millions times over and definitely choose Oludeniz Beach Weddings. Rachel was my pillow of comfort for 6 months and she did the most amazing job. Thank you everyone on the team! 
 

We loved our wedding 💍💒 Bride and Groom Knowles`s

Where do I even begin! In May 2023 we experienced the best day of our lives at the most beautiful location. I only enquired with Oludeniz Beach Weddings one year prior and booked our venue almost instantly. My mum had previously got married through this company in 2018 at an alternative venue and that was when myself and my partner fell in love with Oludeniz. We had never even seen Meri Resort in person but the photos of it looked so beautiful we took the risk and I am so glad we did. 

Rachel was amazing on the run up to the wedding keeping us up to date with everything we needed and answering all our questions. We had also picked and sorted everything at our pre wedding meeting with Tracey within a couple of hours, from the flowers to the cake and the decorations, everything was faultless and just as I envisioned.
 

It was honestly the most perfect day and I wouldn’t change any part of it. I haven’t had one complaint throughout the whole process and I would recommend Oludeniz beach weddings to anyone.

Where to start? Myself and my new husband (feels strange saying that!) Cannot thank everyone at Oludeniz Beach Weddings enough. We had the most perfect day we could ever imagine, nothing was too much trouble and it was exactly as we had pictured it would be.
 

We had a rocky start with our wedding plans as it had to be postponed twice due to the covid restrictions. We decided to scrap all plans and start again from scratch, changing literally everything. We decided we would get married in Turkey as it is a country close to our hearts. Upon looking online we found Oludeniz Beach Weddings, and the testimonials were outstanding so it was a no brainer for us to go ahead and use them as our wedding planners. 
 

The communication from start to finish has been excellent, Rachel has kept in touch with us throughout and gave us clear instructions, we didn't have to worry about anything. We went on holiday to Oludeniz last September and went and met up with Rachel to go over a few things which really put our minds at ease.
 

When we arrived in May this year for the wedding we had a pre wedding meeting and everything was explained in detail to us, we were taken to Fethiye to sort the legal bits and bobs out which was really easy and uncomplicated. 
 

The hair and make up was beautiful, everyone had such a good time in Goldfinger salon the staff really get you in the mood for the wedding and we all had a great time.
 

The ceremony and reception was absolutely beautiful, we got married at Meri Resort and the backdrop is absolutely stunning, we could not have wished for more. All our guests commented on how beautiful it was, we got lots of lovely photos and memories to cherish forever. We then had the reception at Sea Breeze Hotel which was set up absolutely beautifully, we couldn't believe how stunning it was. The food well oh my gosh, I have never had food like it. All our guests were approaching us saying they have never had such good food before, the chef is absolutely amazing at this venue.
 

We had a belly dancer and a DJ along with floor fireworks and our night was just phenomenal. We can't get over how brilliant it all was and we keep talking about how special the day was from start to finish. Thank you so so much to everyone at Oludeniz Beach Weddings, you really made our big day perfect.

The biggest thankyou to OBW! We had the perfect day and it will be one of, if not the best day of our lives.
 

We first met OBW when we travelled to Turkey for our friend’s wedding. We love this area of Turkey and jumped at the chance to visit again. Our friends married at the Meri Resort and their day was simply stunning. We both said that ‘if’ we were to ever get married it would be here!
 

Five years later we found ourselves doing that exact thing and it truly exceeded our expectations.
 

We visited Turkey prior to booking our wedding to be shown the different wedding venues and for that day OBW could not do enough for us. Everyone we met in this team are simply fantastic. They are friendly, helpful and caring as individuals and utterly professional, responsive and customer focussed as a business.

The booking process was clear and we were able to have zoom meetings when in the UK and face-to-face meetings when we visited Turkey prior to our wedding.  At every point, every question was answered, every worry was squashed and every idea welcomed. All communications throughout were clear and easy to understand, with lots of step by step instructions and guidance.

Our pre wedding meet was again straight forward and as a couple that tends to leave decision making to the last minute, it suited us perfectly! In an hour we’d decided on the cake, the flowers, the songs and the decorations. With that being said, there was the opportunity to spend time deciding on such things before the meeting, this style just suited us.
 

We would also recommend using an amazing well organised and established company in Bits & Bobs who cater for all the additional needs, desires and special little touches to make your big day perfect. We found using them helped reduce the amount of items we would have had to take to Turkey.
 

The legal process was straight forward. OBW gives clear guidelines on what to do, how to do it and when to do it; with plenty of notice to get your head around it. When in Turkey, you are guided through all the necessary paper work and taken to and from each venue and supported throughout.
 

Our bridal makeup and hair was done by Goldfinger and was lovely. We didn’t take up the offer of trials beforehand as we didn’t think it was needed, but again, the offer was there if you wanted to. Goldfinger listen to what you want and take really good care of you. Just to note, be mindful of the extras that are offered as they are all chargeable at the end, but couldn’t fault the finished looks or the service provided.
 

We had 42 guests join us for our special day at Liberty Lykia Resort and each and everyone had a ball. The venue was simply outstanding. The flowers, cake and decorations were perfect and everything just happened seamlessly.

Everyone could not compliment the food or service enough and the staff could not do enough for you. The venue is beyond picturesque, the music provided by the live band and the DJ was fantastic.
 

The photographer was super friendly and captured some really great shots that will help us keep the days memories alive.
 

Our wedding day was truly magical for us and our friends and family said how much they enjoyed it too, with a few saying it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. To go to a wedding where you are picked up, spend the ceremony in the sunshine at an amazing venue, be spoilt with all inclusive drinks, served 5 star quality food and be looked after by extremely attentive staff, witness an amazing sunset over the famous blue lagoon, dance the night away and then be driven home afterwards; who could want more?
 

That feeling was made possible by OBW who take care of you, your guests and the big decisions as well as all the little ones in between! Thank you so much for everything – we simply cannot recommend you enough to anyone planning their special day.

At first, getting married abroad seems extremely daunting... however choosing Oludeniz Beach Weddings was the best decision we could EVER have made!
 

Although there is a long gap between your initial booking and then first touching base with your wedding planner, rest assured that all of your wishes will be met! During the 6 months before your wedding this is when your requests will start to be actioned, table decor, additional pieces, LOVE letters, etc and communication was never an issue, as Rachel was always very responsive via email. Vicky from Bits and Bobs was a dream to work with and always so accommodating and friendly. 
 

On the wedding day, the Goldfinger salon was one of the highlights of the day! Bayram was amazing and made our wedding party feel so comfortable, relaxed and we were able to just sit back and soak in the happy feels! It was the perfect environment to be in, to begin the celebrations with your closest ones.
 

We received so many compliments regarding the food on the wedding day - there were plenty of mezze plates to choose from which were served buffet style as starters, then the BBQ food served as main and then our wedding cake was cut and distributed along with the DELICIOUS baklava!
 

My advice to anyone considering getting married in Oludeniz, DO IT! Do not waste your money getting married in the UK, where the weather isn't guaranteed and your guests may always have something to moan about.
 

Overall, we could not thank Rachel and the team enough - our dream enchanted wedding that was once a vision, was made real.

After cancelling our UK wedding in early 2022 due to it being too expensive we started looking abroad at different destinations. Our brother in law mentioned that Turkey has some beautiful places and that they had looked around at a venue there for their wedding so he sent over the website. When I saw their packages and what’s included it was like everything I wanted had been answered as I’m not very organised and this just had everything there. The price is something that you just can’t argue with. 
 

So we booked a venue and in the end we had to end up moving venues due to construction and the change it had. At the time this was happening Oludeniz Beach Weddings were by our sides and fixed the issue by offering a new venue and sending videos and pictures to keep us updated. 
 

We booked 9 months in advance and the booking process was so easy! Picking a date was simple and it’s amazing that they sent a quote out with all the stuff included so you can see too. Communication before Turkey was so simple. Everything I needed to email I always got a response quickly and them sending emails of stuff we need to complete or asking what we wanted to choose and add to our package was so simple and fast. 
 

Our pre wedding meeting was super easy and fast with picking all the little bits and bobs like flowers and cake decorations they definitely made it less stressful. Like showing pictures of previous cakes and having flowers on the table to pick from. Every step just flowed. Unlike weddings in the UK that end up being super stressful and expensive this process was so stress free!! 
 

Legal process was very straight forward and had steps and demonstrations along the way. Getting the paper work and all that done I thought would be long but it really wasn’t at all. In both the UK and Turkey it was fast and simple. 
 

The suppliers used for the wedding were AMAZING!!! Hair and makeup was everything I wished for and the salon is so fun and has so much energy. The people there are fantastic. My flowers were just perfect and I’m not a flower person but they really were beautiful. Transfers were super fab and fast also very on time. Ceremony and reception areas were breathtakingly beautiful. The scenery is just something so unique and pretty. Photography and videography was fab. Not a day goes by where I don’t obsess over the pictures taken because they are everything I wanted.
 

Food is still something the guests are talking about now. We went for the BBQ option and wow... Everyone at our wedding said how it was the best food we had on the holiday by far. Everything was cooked to perfection and deserts were just amazing. I would definitely recommend the fruit salad too… I’m not much of a fruit person but this was a fantastic fruit salad. Cake was stunning and tasted amazing. So glad we got to have a mix of flavours so there was something for everyone. 
 

Honestly this is easily one of the best things we’ve done. Super simple process and the company are amazing and just so helpful. Turkey is definitely a stunning wedding destination and holiday destination as we had the best 2 weeks. 
 

If you want stress free wedding planning and stress free wedding day I’d say book as genuinely you won’t be let down. 

Oludeniz Beach Weddings helped us organise our wedding with ease. There was continuous communication from the outset to make sure every little detail was perfectly planned. This made the whole process so much easier on one of the most important days of our life. The staff were lovely and the wedding you helped us create was an absolute dream come true! 
 

When we posted our pictures everyone said our wedding was like something they would see in a magazine. 
 

Would highly recommend. 

Thank you so much for the best day! It was perfect 

We decided to get married abroad in Olu Deniz following a family wedding 10 years early. Our family members recommended Oludeniz Beach Weddings so we made the initial contact and never looked back! 
 

Getting married abroad is a daunting process, especially the thought of handing such a large amount of money over (almost blind- there is a lot of trust needed in this process) but we needn’t have worried at all. From the moment we made contact with Moira to being handed over to Rachel as wedding planner, we were in very safe hands and assured from day one. There was no such thing as a silly question and we could come back and forth whenever needed (we usually chose to communicate via email but we also had WhatsApp chats and video calls).  
 

We booked around March 2022 for our wedding in July 2023, after booking there was a quiet spell in communications whilst their 2022 wedding season got underway, we were fully informed about this and told to expect communication from the end of season October time about our wedding plans. That is exactly what happened. We usually received a response the same day when contacting Rachel (if there was a delay it was only a day or so and only if she had a busy day filled with weddings).
 

The quiet spell allowed us to get our legal documents in order. This was a little daunting and confusing at first but Rachel was on hand to explain everything, she checked the documents before we met with the notary and checked the documents once they were returned notarized with their apostille on. The main thing with the legal documents is timing it so the time period covers the date of your wedding but we had no issues and our documents were back with us as needed within a couple of weeks of starting the process with plenty of time covering our wedding date. 
 

We arrived two working days before our wedding and spent around about 5 hours completing the pre-wedding meeting process, here we discussed the running order of the day and finalized all of our decorations such as flowers, cake and music. We walked away from the meeting clear and excited of what was going to happen on our wedding day. 
 

The wedding day was perfect, we added the option to do a hair and make up trial- I would definitely recommend this. Although we got married on the Sunday, I went on the Friday to try different hairstyles and make up, I am glad I did as everything I thought I wanted, I hated and it gave me a couple of days to clear my head and realise what I wanted/ what suited me best. We were picked up around lunch time on our wedding day and paid the extra for the photographer to come along to take photos of us getting ready which was fun and nice to look back on. The preparations went seamlessly and to time. The staff are lovely in the salon (Goldfingers) and very patient! There were issues with language barriers, a number of the staff have worked in England so they understand and were able to clearly communicate for those staff that needed a little translation support. Also, the products they use are well known English brands etc. We paid extra for the premium makeup, again this is personal choice but one I am glad I made, I took a couple of my own pieces of make up to (such as eyebrow pencil to match my shade exactly). 
 

When we arrived at the venue, Meri Hotel, it was absolutely beautiful. The views over the lagoon were breathtaking, the seating was facing the views with gazebo/alter at the front, the flowers matching the bouquets. We happened to get married on the hottest day in 49 degree heat, even at 6pm it was stifling but we had water for our guests and had our running orders made into paddle fans (by Bits and Bobs) so we could offer some relief to guests. Aside from the sweltering heat the day was perfect. The ceremony was short and sweet (which was just what we wanted in the heat), the photographs taken were all amazing, there isn’t a photo that we weren’t happy with, the views alone just make every photo look fab.
 

We had the local artists singing with acoustic guitar, they were amazing, her voice is flawless, this was a nice surprise as we hadn’t heard anything of hers before the wedding. Following meals, speeches, cake and first dance (we opted for the fireworks which were really special) we had the DJ to party the night away.
 

All I can say is – wow does Tracy run a tight ship, the wedding ran EXACTLY to time. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, it was all perfect and happened like clockwork. They really are amazing at what they do. My only regret is that we can’t do it all again!
 

I would advise future brides to trust the process, try to get a clear idea of what you like and take pictures along and maybe don't get married in the heat waves of July and August as wearing underskirts and wedding dresses in that heat is a challenge in itself! I would 100% recommend Oludeniz Beach Weddings - it was an amazing experience from start to finish and I wouldn’t change any of it (well maybe the heat!!) 

We want to start by saying a heartfelt Thank you to the team at Oludeniz Beach Weddings for giving us the perfect day! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat and you helped us to create memories that we will cherish forever.
 

Oludeniz is a special place to us as a couple and after we got engaged there a few years ago it felt like the right place to get married there too. The booking process was straight forward and there were many venues to choose from. After making the booking we received a detailed breakdown of everything that was included on the day. Any questions were answered quickly and we were kept fully informed throughout. 
 

The day after we arrived in Turkey, we had our pre wedding meeting where we made all the final arrangements for the day. There were many options to choose from and everything was straight forward and very well organised.  
 

The wedding day itself ran so smoothly and was executed perfectly. I will never forget that moment of first arriving. (I am still smiling now!). Tracy was lovely and made us feel relaxed and at ease. The attention to detail could be seen in every aspect of the day and everything from the venue, food, decor and everything in between was beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing... It was simply stunning. Thank you!

We wanted to say a HUGE thanks to you and the whole team at Oludeniz Beach Weddings. 
 

From start to finish including all the planning you guys were awesome. There was constant communication and you made it super easy to know what we had to do when and nothing was too overwhelming. We were so grateful that we were able to tailor the package to our wedding but without having to deal with lots of different people. 
 

Our meeting when we arrived in Turkey was great and it helped to answer any questions we had and we ran through absolutely everything that would happen on the day. We got to choose our cake/ flowers and table decorations which was great to see how things would look. 
 

On the day everyone was so blown away by how amazing the set up was, Meri is a unique location and surrounding beauty makes it spectacular. The salon were such fun and made all of us welcome, I have to say all my girls looked beautiful. Tracy and the team on the day were amazing I didn’t have to think about anything and Tracy even helped to calm my nerves at the top of the aisle. The photographer and videographer were also amazing and Sam was such fun, making all the ‘posed’ shots less awkward. The food was delicious and there was plenty to go around. Music and live singers were also amazing and such talented people. It was great to be able to come home with the photos and video too so that we could share with the family that were not able to make it once we were back in the UK. 
 

We had the BEST day, if you are thinking about using Oludeniz Beach Weddings go for it, we had no stress, and the most amazing day. 
 

We couldn’t have asked for more, you made our special day everything I have ever dreamed of and more. So thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.

Form the moment Jo and I deceived to get married abroad we knew turkey was the destination for us. We were lucky that Jo found Oludeniz Beach Weddings to make this become a reality. From our first trip to see the venues with Moira to the regular updates from Rachel to the first class service from all the team at the Sea Breeze Hotel. The whole family team welcomed my family and guests into theirs and made us all feel so special. Our day could not have been any more spectacular.
 

All of our guests stated to us that our wedding was the most perfect, personal and beautiful wedding they have been to. We only have all the team at OBW and Sea Breeze hotel for this. 
 

From the bottom of our hearts both Jo and I would like to thank you.
 

We got married at Liberty Lykia in August 2023 and it was honestly the best experience ever which exceeded our expectations.
 

The whole team made every step of the booking and planning process so easy and it meant that we both felt super chilled and relaxed leading up to the day. Rachel answered all of our questions and was so informative about the process of getting married abroad, including the legal paperwork and documents required.
 

We attended a pre wedding meeting a few days before to finalise the last details and then a driver took us to the relevant places to complete final paperwork. The package includes so much; the photographer and videographer were excellent, the flowers and cake were beautiful, the hair and makeup team were very professional and the live singers were amazing! Nothing was too much trouble for any of the team and the day was so well organised. 
 

Liberty Lykia is such a stunning setting and the food was absolutely incredible! The staff were helpful and attentive throughout. The whole day ran so smoothly and we just couldn’t have enjoyed it more! I could not recommend Oludeniz Beach Weddings enough and I would definitely encourage anyone to book their special day with them.
 

We will always treasure our special memories that you helped us to make. Thank you! 

When we decided to get married in Oludeniz I planned for 2023 to be a busy and stressful year. However, there was no stress. Not even a tiny bit. We had clear instructions what we needed to do and when. It felt too easy :)
 

All I need to say was our guests were blown away! The best wedding ever. 
 

With only a few conversations with the team they knew exactly what we wanted, and it was perfect, really perfect. I know every bride says that about their wedding day, but it really was. The comments on the day and on our return back to England were all of amazement. We did not want the day to end. 11 out of 10, for effort, preparation, presentation and organisation. 
 

We can’t thank Oludeniz Beach Weddings for giving us the perfect start to our married life.

I just wanted to thank everyone at Oludeniz Beach Weddings so much for the most magical wedding day. We got married at Meri Resort on 24th August 2023. We will cherish our memories forever; it was without a doubt the best day of our lives. From the very offset Rachel, Moira and the team were fantastic. The booking process was very easy and very clear, along with an email sent with a PDF of confirmation of events with all timings included. Rachel was fantastic at replying to my questions via email and giving me advice on venues and décor. We decided to change our venue after booking and Rachel was fantastic with sending me videos and pictures of the new venue and answering my questions and easing my worries. The legal processes to get married in Turkey was very easy thanks to the clear directions emailed out to me in advance.
 

At out pre-wedding meeting, everything was so well organised, we went over every detail that you can imagine and then we were driven to Fethiye to sign the paperwork and then returned back to the hotel, it was a very straightforward day and nothing to worry about at all, we felt like we were taken care of all day. 
 

The actual wedding day itself was incredible, everything was taken care of from steaming my dress and returning it back to the hotel on the wedding day, to collecting us to take us to the salon and retuning us to the hotel to get dressed. My bridesmaids and I had our hair and makeup done at Goldfinger hair and beauty and had an amazing time, the attention to detail was fantastic and they took the time to make us all feel special. My husband his best man and our fathers went to the barbers for a Turkish shave and said they enjoyed this. 
 

All our guests were blown away by how beautiful the venue was, and all commented on how amazing the BBQ food was and how beautifully the tables were set up. The flowers were stunning and matched the theme we wanted for the wedding perfectly. The day ran so smoothly and was so well organised; Tracey was fantastic at seeing to every detail so I could relax and enjoy the day. Our wedding video and photos are perfect and capture everything that we wanted. The cake looked and tasted fantastic. We opted for the pedestal fireworks and DJ and both were brilliant. The belly dancer was a big hit with all our guests, she was fantastic at getting everyone up dancing and made us all laugh.
 

I am usually a very organised person who gets worried easily; but I can honestly say that I did not feel any stress or anxiety at all when getting married with OBW, everything was so well organised and clear that there was nothing at all for me to panic about. 

I want to thank you so much for all your help coordinating our wedding! From start to finish everything ran so smoothly and 100% stress free and that wouldn’t have been possible without the help, advice and hand holding along the way from Moria, Rachel & Tracy.  Not to forget the wonderful Erdinc who made the ceremony possible.
 

It can be quite daunting arranging a wedding abroad and if you have a little ‘OCD’ like me, I was a tad nervous wanting everything just ‘so’ but how wrong was I!!  As soon as I spoke with Rachel and shared my ideas, she put me at ease as she understood my thinking.  And ‘O.M.G’ I was blown away on the day with how everything came together and looked stunning, just how I’d envisioned.
 

Some of our decorations, favours and little extras were supplied by the amazingly, talented Victoria from ‘Bits & Bobs’, which made life so much easier being made and supplied locally.  All our guests commented on their favours, which was a lovely touch.
 

Everything went so amazingly well that day and I cannot express how appreciative we are for everything that you all did for us!
 

We had the most magical day and wish we could do it all over again!

From start to finish Rachel and the team were brilliant, keeping us informed of our wedding journey and information and legalities we needed to make our day happen. Communications were clear and concise throughout. 
 

Finally meeting the team was lovely, everyone was very helpful in explaining next steps, timescales for our special day. 
 

A hectic day was made easier by the professionalism of the team. Our wedding was perfect everything went as planned. A five star service and we have already recommended you to a family member. 

Thank you so much for a totally amazing day....start to finish couldn't fault a thing.... stunning venue, just perfection. Tracy and the team made me so at ease. Anyone looking to get hitched look no further.

Our first point of contact when booking our day was a Lady called Moira, she went over some basic details via email of the packages and services on offer and we even had a phone call with her. (it was very reassuring hearing an actual voice on the other end of the phone.) We were happy with what we choose, we only have a small family and didn't want to make a big fuss back home. After discussing the options we knew it would be the right choice for us to go ahead so we sent the initial deposit payment off. 
 

At the start of the year (Jan 2023) we had our first emails off Rachel where she introduced herself as our wedding planner and went through all the information required to make our wedding official. As far as planning the wedding I didn't want to choose anything until we were at our PWM as none of the little details bothered us. As long as it all looked pretty on the day, it was the actual marriage we were more concerned about. We struggled finding the right legal information in the UK. We had no clue where to start. The Affidavits range in the UK (in our area) from like £200 to £600 and we were confused as to why such a difference. We eventually paid around £350 for both. Rachel was there to communicate with when needed. 
 

At our PWM we met Tracey and the gentleman who owns the company. Both of them were so lovely and friendly and really went through every detail with us. We didn't purchase anything extra on top of our package (i.e extra flowers, decoration) other than the original add ons. Tracey was brilliant at working out how our table would look on the day as we didn't go for the traditional round tables we had large banquet tables so everyone could sit together. It worked PERFECTLY! 
 

After our PWM we were taken into Fethiye which took around 2 hours all in all. Our driver was so kind to us and really went above and beyond to get us where we needed to be to finalise our legal paperwork. When we got to the government hospital we actually didn't have enough TL on us to pay our bill for the waiver form. The driver ended up paying on our behalf (which we of course repaid him in sterling) which was something he really didn't have to do but without him doing so we wouldn't have been able to complete our paperwork and get married. 
 

On the day of the wedding everything ran really smoothly, we were taken to the salon where we originally decided we were going to do our own make up but after speaking to the guys at the salon they reassured us that the make up would be fine and if we didn't like we could just remove it and do it ourselves. I'm so glad we had it done with them, myself and the girls looked absolutely amazing! Our makeup and hair was everything we wanted. We all left feeling so beautiful!
 

The ceremony itself I have no words for, honestly it was like a dream, the lady who married us spoke in Turkish (it was translated) It was simply stunning from start to finish. The venue was absolutely out of this world, we got married at Hotel Meri and to say it was stunning is an understatement. The food was again out of this world, honestly we had so many compliments on the food. We had 2 Vegans and a Vegetarian in our requirements and all 3 said the wedding food was the best they ate the whole holiday! 
 

One thing that surprised us was the cake, now, if you're used to going to turkey for holidays you'll be aware that the puddings are rubbish! They look amazing but a lot of them taste like nothing! With our wedding cake we really weren't fussed about what it looked like as we thought it would taste like typical Turkish cakes, boy was we wrong! The wedding cake tasted AMAZING! It was such a shame so much of it went to waste! 
 

We had live music as part of our package and the singer was OUT OF THIS WORLD! We actually all thought it was a CD playing until we turned around and saw a young lady sitting there singing so effortlessly, she really was amazing! We also had a DJ and Belly dancer who both did an awesome job, the belly dancer was a lot of fun and got everyone up dancing, even our dads enjoyed themselves! The DJ had such a good variety of songs and genres and honestly we just couldn't fault it.  
 

We didn't actually meet Rachel until we went to choose our photos after the wedding. She was so lovely and friendly and we ended up having a really good chat about our day and how we felt it went. 
 

All in all we would 100% recommend using Oludeniz Beach Weddings if you're planning a wedding abroad. The whole day was perfect, we didn't have a single problem and i honestly couldn't fault a thing if i tried. Turkey (Oludeniz) will always hold a special place in our hearts for a lot of different reasons and i'm so so glad we trusted our instincts and took a leap of faith as Rachel described it and i think its perfect way to put it. Your wedding day is such a big day and considering everything is done via email initially until you fly out, it really is a leap of faith but you can 1000% put your trust in these guys. They all know exactly what they are doing and are so friendly and helpful every step of the way. 
 

To everyone at Oludeniz Beach Weddings, Thank you so much for giving us the most perfect day that we will never ever forget. 
 

All our love, The Bromwells. 

Best day ever. 
 

We got married at Hotel Meri - 16/09/2023 and to say it was amazing was an understatement. We booked blind back in 2021 having looked and liked what we saw on the website, seemed like a good idea at the time but as the months got closer I got more and more nervous because I had very little control. We came over in 2022 and stayed at the hotel and met the lovely Rachel and although that trip wasn’t necessary it helped put our mind at ease. 
 

The communication from booking to arriving in Turkey prior to our wedding was all we could have asked for! Prompt answers to questions and loads answered before needing to even ask them. September 2023 soon flew and in no time at all we were in Turkey and it was our pre wedding meeting. We had no idea what to expect, but Rachel, Tracey and the team were great! Everything was captured and our minds were completely at ease throughout. 

If anyone was debating using bits and bobs by Vickky (you’ll be told about her) then stop questioning it and do it! Our signage was amazing and our theme was captured perfectly! 
 

Oludeniz Beach Weddings has a personality and they understand the importance of your day and what it means to you! There really is no flapping, no nonsense - just smooth sailing and calm! They use vendors they trust and that is proven in the outcome. 
 

Our hair and make up was at Gold Finger Salon! What an experience! Never had my make up done before, I was anxious because I know what I like but the trial and day went great! There were 8 in my party and the process was seamless! Despite it being a conveyor belt you felt special, it was like they became part of your day! Playing going to the chapel as we left and dancing around… it was an experience that will stay with me forever and I’ll definitely be revisiting the salon when over on holiday! Even the hubby and groomsmen got pampered at a barbers and loved every second! 
 

The range of flowers/cakes is outstanding, really is something for everyone! 
 

The day! Your wedding day is a day that will be with us forever! I had read so many horror stories on the Facebook pages (none ever involving OBW) but you instinctively worry! But those worries just melt away when you arrive because the day was seamless! 
 

We wouldn’t be able to put in to words just how perfect everything was! 
 

Live music - incredible! Food - we had a gourmet BBQ - amazing! Decor - exactly what we pictured & more! The team - amazing! Everything was thought about and that really showed in that we had the evening we dreamed of and more! 
 

The only thing we would say we should have ask more about was the pick-up transfers… that was very much on us because we didn’t really think about it! We had guests staying in hotels that you couldn’t drive up to and in hindsight we should have asked for their pick up locations but we didn’t! 
 

But to have a wedding abroad with 50 guests and for that to be the only slight issue I think that is pretty good going! 
 

Can’t thank the team enough! We get emotional even thinking about it! But for anyone thinking about booking your wedding with OBW - please it really is a no brainer! You WON’T be disappointed! 
 

A massive thank you from the new Mr & Mrs King for what was the event of a lifetime! 
 

Where do I begin? Words can’t express how grateful we are for Rachel and the Oludeniz Beach Weddings team for making our wedding day so special. I contacted OBW while visiting Oludeniz in July 2022. We met up with Moira the very next day and was shown around venues in the area. We fell in love with the Meri Hotel and booked it right away.
 

Rachel has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. The full planning process was amazing any questions I had Rachel would reply to all emails straight away and put our minds at ease. We met Rachel at our pre wedding meeting to finalise all the details everything was set out and explained to us so well which just added to our excitement.
 

The florist & hair and beauty team were second to none. Our flowers were absolutely stunning so fresh and just what we asked for. Goldfinger Hair and Beauty salon were amazing with myself and the girls making us feel so at ease and making my wedding morning so special we all left feeling beautiful. I can’t thank them enough.
 

Our wedding ceremony and reception was absolutely amazing from start to finish. All our family and friends commented on how amazing the food was at the Meri Hotel. Our photographer was incredible we can’t shop looking through our photos and watching over the video.
 

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and we wish we could relive it every day. On behalf of myself and Blair we thank you so much again for everything.

We have recently returned home after getting married on 22.9.23 at the Yacht Classic Hotel in Fethiye, and can honestly say our day could not have been anymore perfect. 
 

We cannot thank the whole team at OBW enough! Rachel is brilliant, she's always on hand to respond to any queries and concerns that you might have, and she really did make the entire wedding planning process so smooth from start to finish. 
 

We had our pre-wedding meeting 3 days before our big day, where we discussed everything including our cake, flowers, music and table decor. We were also shown our order of events so we knew exactly how the day was going to run. We were then able to pass this onto our guests, so they knew what time they would each be getting picked up from their hotels to be taken to the venue etc.
 

On the wedding day itself, the bridal party was picked up and taken to Goldfinger salon. The team there are also fantastic and so much fun! We did not stop laughing from the minute we arrived! Everyone absolutely loved their hair and make up and, even in the heat, our hair stayed in place all day and night and nobody needed to touch up their make up either which I had expected to be the case.
 

We were blown away when we arrived at the venue, the way it had been set up was just perfect and all of our guests commented on how stunning it was. Everyone loved the live singers and said how amazing they were, and the belly dancer was a lot of fun in getting people up to dance. Im so pleased we added the love letters to our package as they looked amazing. Vickky at Bits & Bobs (recommend by OBW) also did a brilliant job and created beautiful signage, favours, cake topper etc to fit in with our colour theme and it just made everything come together so well. 
 

When it came to choosing our photographs a few days later, we were so impressed! Our day had really been captured beautifully and we struggled to choose only 50 photos as they were all so brilliant. I would really recommend paying a small fee to get all of the photographs as it's well worth it. 
 

From the very first enquiry email I sent, right through to the wedding day itself, everything was just brilliant and we cannot recommend OBW enough, they just made everything so simple and stress free. The wedding day itself was the best day of our lives and just wish we could do it all over again. 

We got married at Liberty Lykia World on 24th September 2023. When we were looking into getting married in Turkey, everything felt a bit overwhelming but once we had booked with Oludeniz Beach Weddings we knew that we had made the right choice. 
 

Right from the start, Rachel provided us with all of the information that we needed and kept in touch through the whole process. It gave us peace of mind knowing that Rachel was always there to answer any questions and to guide us through the legal side of thing.
 

When we arrived in Turkey we had our pre wedding meeting with the team to go through the finer details, plan for the big day, hair and make up, decorations, etc. Everything was done very efficiently and no details were missed. We then had a guide take us to Fethiye to do the legal stuff and we were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. We were able to relax knowing that everything had been taken care of. 
 

On the wedding day I went to Goldfinger Salon with my bridal party for hair and make up. Everyone at the salon was very welcoming and we had some fizz, listened to music and had a laugh. Martyn and his groomsmen went to a barber at a different location for some pampering. It was a stress free morning for us both.
 

The wedding ceremony was beautiful and everything went smoothly. Tracey and the team were there from start to finish and they kept us right. We opted for the BBQ menu and it was absolutely delicious! The cake was lovely too. We had a Turkish belly dancer included in our package and she was brilliant.  She got everyone up and we all had such a laugh. 
 

Two days after the wedding we went to pick our wedding photos.  We ended up buying them all as we simply couldn’t choose, they were all great! 
 

All our our guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we think so too! It really was the most amazing day and that is all down to Oludeniz Beach Weddings. The team are amazing at what they do and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering getting married in Turkey.”
 

Thank you all so much again, we really did have the best day ever! Wish we could do it again.  Suppose we could always renew our vows in a few years haha… watch this space!

Thank you for arranging our vow renewal at very short notice.
 

It was perfect. Stressful, considering it was a complete secret from the wife, but it turned out perfect in every way. 
 

Hopefully our daughter will eventually get married in Turkey and we'll point her in your direction, without a doubt.
