Wedding in Side with Your Wedding Planner in Side
Plan your wedding in Side by the sea, close to an ancient harbour town and long sandy beaches.
Side sits on the Manavgat coast, about 65 km from Antalya Airport, where Roman ruins meet sandy beaches, beach clubs and resorts. As your wedding planner in Side, Ramarossi helps you choose a setting for your ceremony and dinner, plan guest travel and coordinate every supplier on the day.
Planning a Wedding in Side Starts With Choosing Your Setting by the Sea.
A wedding in Side can take very different forms: a resort ceremony on the beach, a relaxed dinner at a beach club, or a celebration with the old town and its ancient columns as a backdrop for photographs. The first step is deciding which setting fits your guest count, your style and the atmosphere you want.
Each setting has its own practical rules. Beach clubs may have fixed opening hours and their own kitchen, resorts may limit outside suppliers, and the historic centre is busy with visitors for much of the year. We check these points before you commit, so the plan suits the place you choose.
With the setting agreed, we plan the order of the day, the timings around sunset and the guest journey from hotel to ceremony. The design then follows the location, not the other way round.
Why Couples Choose a Wedding Planner in Side
In Side, couples often combine more than one type of place: a hotel for guests, a beach club or restaurant for the celebration, and the old town for photographs. Each has its own contacts, rules and timings, and someone needs to connect them.
That is our role. Ramarossi compares venues for you, checks what is included, books the suppliers and plans transfers between hotels, the ceremony and the dinner, so the day feels like one celebration rather than three separate bookings.
We are based in Antalya and work along the whole coast, so we plan the day around realistic journey times, including summer traffic.

Beach clubs and restaurants in Side work differently from large resorts. Some close to the public for a private event, others keep part of the space open, and many have their own menus and music limits. We clarify all of this before you book.
We also plan the practical details of a seaside celebration: shade for an afternoon ceremony, lighting after sunset, and a sheltered alternative if the wind picks up.

Why Your Side Wedding Planner Checks the Setting First.
Side offers resorts, beach clubs and seaside restaurants, each with different rules. Before you book, we ask each venue the questions below; our guide to wedding venues in Side describes the main types.
Beach rules
Can the ceremony take place on the sand, and what set-up is allowed there?
Private use
Will the beach club or restaurant close for your group, or stay partly open?
Sunset timing
What time is sunset on your date, and does the venue suit an evening programme?
Weather backup
Is there a covered area if the wind or a summer shower arrives?
With these answers, we can recommend the right setting. Our Side venue guide explains the main options.
Beach and Resort Weddings in Side, Designed Around You.
Side suits weddings that feel relaxed and close to the sea. Here are the main options for a wedding in Side.
Beach ceremony
Vows on the sand with the sea behind you, followed by dinner nearby.
Beach club wedding
Ceremony and reception at one beach club, relaxed and close to the water.
Resort wedding
A garden or poolside ceremony and dinner inside a Side resort.
Restaurant dinner
An intimate reception at a seaside restaurant after a ceremony elsewhere.
Intimate and mid-size weddings often fit Side naturally: a ceremony by the beach and dinner a few steps away keep the day simple for guests. Larger groups usually choose a resort, where rooms and event spaces are in one place.
We help you choose the format first, then find venues that can deliver it on your date.
Intimate Weddings and Larger Groups in Side.
Side works well for intimate and mid-size weddings. A beach club or seaside restaurant can feel full and lively with a few dozen guests, where a large resort hall might feel empty.
For larger groups, the resorts along the coast, from Kumköy to Titreyengöl, offer halls and gardens with rooms close by. We help you choose by the number of guests you expect, not by the size of a venue's brochure.
Questions we ask about your guest list
- How many guests will attend the ceremony and the dinner
- Whether children and older relatives need extra comfort
- Where guests will stay and how they will travel
- Whether the venue needs to close for a private event
- If the venue sets a minimum number of guests or spend
These answers help us suggest the right setting from the start and avoid paying for space you do not need.
Wedding Planning in Side: The Old Town, the Coast and Your Guests.
Side is in the Manavgat district, about 65 km east of Antalya Airport, roughly an hour or more by car depending on traffic. The ancient town sits on a small peninsula, with the Temple of Apollo by the harbour and a Roman theatre within the old town.
Along the coast on either side of the town are resort areas such as Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı, Sorgun and Titreyengöl, each with its own beaches, hotels and pace. Where your guests stay shapes transfers, dinner timings and how easily everyone can join each part of the celebration.
If you would like photographs among the ancient columns, we plan a short session around visiting hours and crowds, and check in advance whether permission is needed for professional photography. See our Side wedding venue guide for venue options.

Choosing the Right Month for a Wedding in Side
For a beach ceremony in Side, late spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable: the sea is pleasant, the sun is softer and evenings are mild.
July and August bring the most heat and the most visitors to the old town and beaches. A ceremony close to sunset, shade for guests and a later dinner make summer weddings far more comfortable.
Some beach clubs and seasonal restaurants close in winter, so for an off-season date we check which venues are open before you choose one.
Bringing Your Guests to Side From Abroad.
Couples from the UK, Europe and further afield plan weddings in Side without visiting first. We work through video calls and detailed written proposals, and share photos and plans of each venue.
Side is further from Antalya Airport than Belek or Lara, so transfers need planning. We arrange shared or private transfers and schedule arrivals so guests reach their hotel without long waits.
Guests staying in different areas, such as Kumköy and Sorgun, may need transport to the ceremony and dinner. We plan these journeys around the timings of the day.
Clear information helps guests enjoy the trip: flight suggestions, transfer times, the dress code for a beach ceremony and the plan for each day.

A planning visit to Side
Some couples like to stand on the beach before they decide. On a visit to Side, we show you the shortlisted beach clubs and resorts and walk through the ceremony and dinner on site.
Why Your Side Wedding Proposal Starts With the Setting You Choose.
We do not use fixed packages. A beach-club wedding for 60 guests and a resort wedding for 200 need different venues, suppliers and budgets, so each proposal starts from your plan.
Beach clubs and restaurants often price food, drinks and private use differently from resorts. We explain these differences clearly and show what is included before you decide.
Your proposal is then adjusted until it matches your priorities and budget.
How Much Does a Wedding in Side Cost?
A wedding in Side can be relaxed or grand, and the budget follows that choice. These factors shape your proposal.
Type of venue
Beach club, restaurant or resort, each with its own pricing.
Private use
Whether the venue closes to the public for your event.
Guest count
Menu, drinks and seating for the number of guests.
Design and extras
Ceremony set-up, flowers, lighting, music and photography.
Smaller beach-club weddings often keep costs focused on the dinner and the ceremony set-up, while resort weddings add room blocks and larger production. Your proposal breaks these costs down, so you can decide where to invest.
