WEDDINGS IN TURKEY
Getting married
abroad is becoming increasingly popular and
Turkey, being a unique country – romantic and
exotic, with its rich culture and health of
breathtaking natural and historic beauty, is the
perfect destination for your special day.
Unlike other foreign wedding destinations,
Turkey is under 4 hours flying time from the UK
and it is also, far more affordable than most
other countries. Indeed, as weddings here are
great value, we find that many couples are able
to bring family and friends to celebrate with
them. For those who are unable to join you, you
may like to arrange a blessing service or
reception upon your return but at the very
least, you will be presented with a video made
of the day, so you can share your special
moments with those who were unable to be with
you.
It is also made even easier for you to have
family and friends join you, as there is a wide
choice of airlines with direct flights from both
major and regional airports. Our accommodation
at Sea Breeze is of a very high standard and
Turkey is reknowned for its first-class service
and warm hospitality. These together, ensure all
members of the wedding party will have a
comfortable and memorable stay.
Getting married in Turkey is a very simple
process and the only legal documents you are
required to show at the British Embassy are your
Birth Certificate, an up-to-date passport with a
minimum of 6 months left to run and a
Certificate of Non-Impediment. You will be
required to visit the Embassy with these
documents, where they wil be translated into
Turkish, allowing the formal wedding papers to
be drawn up. And don’t worry, we organise the
trip for you and a member of our staff
accompanies you all the way.
Let us, our sister company Ezmen Tourism, in conjunction with
Sea Breeze Hotel, take the stress out of
organising your wedding arrangements, by doing
it all for you. With many years of wedding
planning experience, we appreciate your marriage
is very personal and unique to you and we
believe the ceremony should reflect this. We
organise everything from the legal requirements
to the cake. All you have to do, is be there on
the day!
Sea Breeze is set in a quiet location,
surrounded by dramatic mountains.
Add to these its beautiful gardens and the warm
Turkish sunshine, virtually guaranteed to shine
down on you and you have the perfect setting for
your wedding.
No two ceremonies are the same, as we
tailor-make your wedding to reflect your wishes
and your budget. It can be as traditional or as
unusual as you choose and we can advise on any
of the traditional Turkish wedding elements,
that you may wish to incorporate.
We will now take you through an example of the
kind of wedding day you can expect but do bear
in mind, we very much work with you to provide
you with the day you want.
While the bride, bridesmaids & mother of the
bride are at the hairdressers, the groom, best
man and groom’s father are being
pampered by a local barber – the full
traditional Turkish shave and shoulder massage!
Once all the wedding party are ready, usually
late afternoon, the guests & Groom gather in the
gardens of Sea Breeze to await the arrival of
the Bride.
The service is presided over by the local
marriage registrar who conducts a civil ceremony
under the palm trees. An interpreter is present
and you will be required to sign a number of
documents, including your marriage book, which
in Turkey, replaces the marriage certificate.
Immediately following the marriage ceremony, you
can opt for a garden finger buffet and refresh
the guests with a choice of champagne, bucks
fizz or pimms, while a carefully chosen local
band of musicians is playing gently in the
background.
The Bride & Groom, together with a small number
of family & friends, will then be whisked off to
one of the most beautiful beaches in the
Mediterranean – Ölüdeniz. The incredible sunsets
make for stunningly romantic photos. You will
visit the Blue Lagoon, a private beach and
finally, the White Dolphin Restaurant, which
boasts the most fantastic views of the whole
length of Ölüdeniz beach. Here also, you will
have a chance to refresh with a long, cool
cocktail.
Back to Sea Breeze to join your guests for the
Wedding Dinner. You may choose either
buffet-style or silver service. How much wine &
champagne you chose to provide, is entirely up
to you, as is the size of your wedding cake –
from one to seven tiers!
Once the meal is finished, you may like to
include a traditional Turkish Belly dancer to
entertain your guests, before completing your
special day with dancing the night away.
Our Sister company Ezmen Tourism, in conjunction
with Sea Breeze Apart Hotel, we take pride in
making your wedding day just exactly how you
want it – perfect!
