Featured Destination Wedding Planners Experts

I have been planning weddings since 2006. I started in Bali, Indonesia, where I spent four years working with international couples before moving to Antalya, Turkey in 2011 and founding Ramarossi. Most of my couples come from the UK, US, Canada, and the Middle East. They are planning a wedding in a country they have never visited, often combining two different cultures and families, and they need someone on the ground who understands both the local logistics and their cultural traditions. That is what I do. Over the years I have planned Persian Sofreh Aghd ceremonies, Lebanese celebrations, South Asian and Pakistani weddings, Gulf Arab traditions, and European ceremonies. Some weddings blend two or three of these cultures in one day. I speak English, Turkish, and Persian, which helps a lot when working with Middle Eastern families. My planning process is hands-on. Every couple I work with comes to Antalya for a full planning week where we visit venues together, meet vendors, and lock in every detail face to face. I also have a physical showroom in Antalya where couples can see and touch their wedding setup before the day. I can speak to journalists and media on topics including destination weddings in Turkey, multicultural ceremony traditions, what couples get wrong when planning abroad, budgeting for a destination wedding, and why Antalya has become one of Europe's most popular wedding destinations.
