To enter Turkey you need 6 months validity and a full blank page in your passport - please check your passports in advance!
Since we will have guests from many different countries, please double check online if you need a visa. This is the most up to date info at the time of writing (August 2022): - Australian passport holders: you should apply for a visa from www.evisa.gov.tr. There is a fee of around 60USD. - UK passport holders: no visa requirement.
There are no COVID restrictions to enter Turkey currently. You do not need to wear a mask anywhere.
There are 3 areas we recommend staying in: - Fethiye is the largest town in the area with the most accommodation and facilities options but no walkable access to the beach. - The Blue Lagoon is the closest to the wedding venue but tends to be all-inclusive resorts that can be more expensive but less hassle. - Oludeniz is on the beach and closer to the Blue Lagoon/wedding venue than Fethiye.
We usually book our accommodation using hotels.com or Airbnb. Please note that booking.com does not allow bookings in Turkey. If you need help finding accommodation then please let us know, we are happy to help :)
It is likely the weather will be sunny and hot - the average temperature is 28 degrees Celsius in July. Although the ceremony will be in the evening, it will most likely still be warm.
The ceremony will be on the beach so please bring appropriate footwear and wear sunscreen - it will be hot! We will provide paper fans but it does tend to be cooler in the evening. The reception will be in an open air venue with wooden floors.
On the day we will provide a shuttle bus to take guests to and from the wedding venue. We may ask you in advance to meet at a pick up point for the bus to collect you/drop you off.
We will served a BBQ buffet including steak, chicken, fish and a vegetarian option. There will also be rice, chips, salads and Turkish mezes. For dessert we will have cake :) There will be an open bar, which includes all local drinks of vodka, gin, rakı, beer, wine and soft drinks. Imported spirits/cocktails will be charged at normal bar price.
The reception will finish at midnight.
We will send RSVPs by email a few months before the wedding.
Our wedding will be strictly RSVP only and we can only accommodate those listed on the invitation. Please let us know if you would like to bring a +1 and we’ll see what we can do.
Unfortunately due to our space limitations, the wedding will be mostly child-free. However, we are will make exceptions for those travelling from overseas with their children. Please let us know if you would like your child to attend and we’ll see what we can do :)
We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you! We are so grateful that you could be with us on our wedding day, especially if you’ve travelled from overseas. We don’t expect any gifts, but if you would like to contribute to our new married life then feel free to donate to our wishing well 😊 You can find our wishing well at https://prezola.com/wishlists/10274635/.
