Wedding Planner

A wedding planner in Antalya should do more than recommend suppliers or create a beautiful setup. Solara Event manages the venue requirements, budget priorities, design, supplier communication, guest logistics, production schedule and wedding-day operations as one connected project—giving couples abroad one trusted local team and a clear decision-making process.

What Does a Wedding Planner in Antalya Actually Do?

A professional planner turns the couple’s ideas, priorities and budget direction into a workable event plan. That means identifying the decisions that must be made, comparing options, briefing suppliers, tracking responsibilities and building one production timeline for everyone involved. The value is not simply access to vendors; it is informed decision-making, early problem-solving and clear accountability from the first call to the final guest departure.

A venue coordinator and a wedding planner do not usually have the same role. The venue team manages the property, its services and internal rules. The wedding planner represents the couple across the entire celebration, connecting the venue with design, entertainment, photography, technical production, transport, guest communication and every external supplier. The exact division of responsibility should be confirmed before contracts are signed.

Which level of planning support do you need?

Full planning is best for couples who want one team to shape and manage the project from the beginning. Partial planning can support couples who have already chosen a venue or booked key suppliers but need structure for the remaining decisions. Wedding-day coordination focuses on final handover, supplier alignment and on-site delivery; it cannot replace months of planning that have not been completed.

What Solara Evaluates and Coordinates

At Solara Event, planning begins with priorities and responsibilities. We define what must be decided, who owns each task and when approvals are required. Venue communication, supplier work, design, guest logistics and wedding-day operations are then managed through one coordinated plan, with the scope tailored to the couple’s planning stage.

Strategy & Budget Control

We define priorities, decision stages and budget direction, then track how approved choices affect the wider plan. The aim is informed trade-offs and a scope the couple can understand.

Venue & Contract Coordination

We assess venue suitability, inclusions, access, setup windows and operating rules. We coordinate venue communication and flag questions or responsibilities that must be clarified before delivery.

Design & Production Planning

We translate the creative direction into layouts, supplier briefs, production requirements and approval points, balancing the visual concept with timing, access, technical needs and guest comfort.

Supplier Selection & Management

We source or assess relevant professionals, compare suitable options, communicate the approved brief and coordinate contracts, timings, dependencies and on-site responsibilities within the agreed scope.

Guest Logistics & Communication

We can coordinate accommodation information, transfers, arrival guidance and movement between wedding events according to the guest profile and the responsibilities agreed with the couple.

Wedding-Day Direction

We manage setup, supplier arrivals, guest flow, ceremony and reception timing, service and programme transitions on site through one final production schedule.

How the Process Works

1 Discovery & Scope Definition We clarify your date, estimated guest count, planning stage, budget direction, venue status and priorities. We then define whether you need full planning, partial support or wedding-day coordination and confirm the responsibilities included in our proposal.
2 Priorities, Budget & Venue Review We organise the key decisions around the experience you want to create and the budget areas that matter most. If a venue has not been selected, we assess suitable options; if it is already booked, we review its contract, inclusions, access conditions and operational rules.
3 Design Development & Supplier Booking We translate the agreed direction into layouts, design requirements and supplier briefs. Options are compared clearly, availability and suitability are checked, and approved teams are brought into one shared production structure.
4 Production Schedule & Final Checks We confirm the run of show, setup sequence, supplier arrivals, technical requirements, guest movements, contact list and contingency arrangements. Final decisions are documented so every team understands its timing and responsibility before the event.
5 On-Site Wedding Management The Solara team directs setup, supplier activity, guest arrival, ceremony timing, service and entertainment transitions on site. We manage the operational questions behind the scenes so the couple and their families are not acting as event managers on the wedding day.

Why Solara?

Solara Event was founded in Antalya in 2023 by Selin Özyurt with a simple aim: to make beautifully designed celebrations feel organised, personal and genuinely enjoyable for the people at the centre of them. Her experience in leading Turkish companies brings structure and calm communication to every project.

For you, that means having a team that understands both the creative vision and everything required to bring it to life beside the sea. We connect the venue, design, catering, lighting, music and guest experience so you are not left coordinating separate suppliers on your own.

Berkan Özyurt joined Solara Event in 2026, strengthening operations, project management and international client relations. After living in the United Kingdom for around ten years, he communicates with English-speaking couples at a near-native level—making ideas, questions and decisions easier to share from the very first conversation.

Since 2023, Solara Event has taken part in more than 100 weddings, celebrations, corporate events and special projects, supported by a network of more than 25 professional partners and teams. Keep these figures current and supported by company records.

Our Antalya network helps us match each beach celebration with suitable creative and production partners. Instead of asking you to manage florists, caterers, rentals and technical teams separately, we bring them into one coordinated plan shaped around your priorities.

Real beach-wedding photographs and stories should support this promise. Feature only verified projects that genuinely used the shoreline, and show both the beauty of the result and Solara’s role in bringing the experience together.

Most importantly, we want the planning relationship to feel easy and personal. You have one local team to ask, one clear direction for the project and people on site who already understand how you want the day to feel.

Wedding Planner

What shapes your proposal

A wedding planner’s fee in Antalya depends on the level of support and the complexity of the project. Full planning from the first venue decision requires a different scope from final-stage coordination. Guest count, supplier count, design production, venue access, planning time, travel logistics and additional events all affect the team, communication and on-site management required. Solara confirms the scope before preparing a tailored proposal.

Level of support

Full planning, partial planning and wedding-day coordination involve different timelines, deliverables and levels of responsibility.

Guest count & complexity

More guests can increase communication, seating, logistics, staffing, schedule and on-site coordination requirements.

Venue & access conditions

Restricted setup times, multiple spaces, external supplier rules and complex access can require additional planning and supervision.

Number of suppliers

Each supplier adds briefing, approvals, timing dependencies, communication and contractual or operational checks.

Design & production

Custom structures, detailed florals, lighting, staging and technical elements require more development, coordination and site planning.

Lead time

A compressed timeline may require faster decisions and denser communication; a long project may involve more planning stages and revisions.

Multi-day events & logistics

Welcome events, next-day gatherings, accommodation and transfers expand the programme, guest journey and number of teams involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

The agreed scope can include planning strategy, venue and contract coordination, budget priorities, design, supplier selection, guest logistics, the production schedule and wedding-day management. Full planning and partial planning do not include the same responsibilities, so Solara defines the deliverables clearly in the proposal.

A venue coordinator usually manages the property, its internal team and the services included by the venue. A wedding planner represents the couple across the full event and coordinates the venue with all external suppliers, design, guests and the overall timeline. The exact boundary should always be confirmed with both teams.

Yes. Planning can be managed through scheduled calls, clear option comparisons, documented approvals and a shared decision timeline. Solara acts as the local coordination point and completes site-based checks while keeping the couple involved at each approval stage.

Not necessarily. Depending on the venue rules and agreed planning scope, we can recommend trusted local professionals or assess and coordinate suppliers selected by the couple. Availability, quality, technical suitability, access requirements and contractual responsibility should be checked before a booking is confirmed.

For full planning, around 9–12 months is a useful starting point because it provides more choice and time for structured decisions. Larger, multi-day or high-demand-date weddings may benefit from an earlier start. Shorter timelines can be considered according to venue, supplier and team availability.

The fee depends on planning level, guest count, supplier count, event complexity, design production, venue logistics, lead time and whether the programme includes additional days or guest travel coordination. Solara prepares a tailored proposal after defining the responsibilities and workload; a single fixed figure would not represent every wedding accurately.

Planning from abroad becomes easier when one local team owns the details. Share your preferred date, estimated guest count, venue status, planning stage and budget direction; Solara Event will recommend the right level of support and prepare a clear planning proposal.
