Wedding costs/advice

[Bluwise]

Friends of ours are planning to get married in Olu area next year and have had several quotes for packages. 
I have no idea what is a reasonable amount to pay and wondered if anyone could give me an idea of what they have paid recently? 
I appreciate there are lots of options and prices will vary greatly but if anyone is able to give me a rough idea of cost and what was included then I can maybe give them some steer to avoid the silly quotes that are bound to happen!

In the case of our son's wedding we were offered a package but only took the parts we wanted.  So we bought our own French Champagne as the toast was £8.00 per glass and it was Turkish Champagne.  We  arranged our own cake (the quote was £200 for a cake) The cake was £32.00.  We also arrranged our own flowers. We then got Wedding Favours and Confetti which was not included in the package.  We also arranged our own Photographer, which worked out a lot cheaper.   So, IMO it's best to pick the parts of the package you want the venue to arrange and then the parts you want to arrange. The problem with a package is it can be very much the same for each couple, it's nice to personalise a Wedding to your requirements.
If you want to email me privately I can give you any more details you want .

Take a look at weddings.turkey.com. The prices are very reasonable and you are married on the beach in oludeniz. Weddings can be personalised which can also change the price but as I said, the price is very reasonable and the quality is excellent.

Thanks everyone for the replies so far - I will see what has been included in their package quotes.

 Jacqui, I will refer to your earlier posts regarding 'favours',  flowers etc.  and thanks for the offer - I will message you if there is anything specific -
Thank you all very much.  I'm sure I will be back with more questions for my friends

This last posting  is a corker...  IMO I would always want to use a business that is recommended by someone who has used it and is happy, not recommended by someone who works for the company.
