Having worked within a high profile senior management role for what feels like a century, i decided following some ill health that it was time to re-evaluate my life, id been given a second chance and i really needed to make it count!
Having been so lucky to have a second home in Turkey for 16 years, a Turkish partner and fortunate enough to both travel extensively throughout this beautiful country, i had gained a good level of cultural knowledge as well as meaningful relationships and contacts that i knew would be so valuable for my new exiting adventure in setting up Weddings By Kate Ltd!
Being fortunate to to have a great deal of experience managing businesses, high value contracts, large scale projects and of course people, what i lacked however was a qualification specifically in Wedding Planning....so! before anything else i enrolled and trained on an accredited wedding planning course, went out to gain some invaluable experience within the wedding planning field working with the big experts in both within the UK and abroad, Then i knew that i had the skills, the passion and the drive to achieve what had always been a secret personal ambition!
My vision for Weddings By Kate was that it had to be an absolutely personal service, our brides and their biggest day of their life are not to be treated as ‘packages.’
We really wanted to offer different, quirky, stylish and very individual, i wanted to focus on what brides really felt they wanted and needed when deciding on a wedding abroad....,similar to the questions i had when i was planning my own destination wedding! answers to the unknowns, solutions to the headaches, the sheer volume on my To Do list and the reassurance that they and their guests are in safe hands, and that’s exactly what we do!
We get to know you, understand what your big day wishes are and help manage and guide you to bring them to reality and more through listening, managing and getting creative! both in the UK and Turkey.
We take the away the scary and unknown and turn it into excitement, trust and reassurance.
Our help and support starts from the minute we first make contact with you, our clients are those that want a wedding or vow renewal that’s stylish, creative, very personal, built and crafted around their personalities and is a beautiful showcase of those personalities and style.
As qualified Wedding planners, project and quality managers we love detail! We love finding solutions and crafting creative ideas, from the best matched wedding venue to the most beautiful and stylish decorations to the highest quality of photography and ensuring the legal marriage process in both the UK and Turkey is completed correctly, on time and on budget.
We pride our selves on our levels of high quality customer service, no hidden costs. Some of the wedding venues we use may at times be also used by other businesses (after all there’s only so many within a resort) but we guarantee we use them in a very different way, the experience will be exceptional and bespoke to your wedding, the decor and styling will be very individual, the atmosphere definitely memorable!
We always offer added extras and signature additions, unique to us that ensure our brides get over and above, value for money and the entire experience is planned and crafted with the care and quality that Wedding By Kate brides expect and deserve.
Get in touch if you would like to explore how we can help you plan your beautiful wedding in Turkey.
We cant wait to meet you!
Best wishes
