My partner and I had a wonderful experience with Tala from UCG luxury. She was very patient with us in making our wedding ours and very personable. What we enjoyed the most while working with her, was her calm and collaborative approach, guiding us step by step through months of planning. Every wedding is unique and especial, and we were so often told by our guests that our special day was one of the warmest and most fun weddings they had ever attended. We would definitely recommend UCG for your wedding planning or other events!

Less than a year before our wedding, we contacted Tala at UCG Luxury Destination Events to be our wedding planner. Tala herself came highly recommended through friends and word of mouth, and from the moment we met, I could see this was by far the best decision we could make. My husband and I live in London but our families are in different parts of the world. To quickly organise a personal, beautiful, heartfelt, fun wedding for 130 guests coming from all corners of the globe was daunting to us, but a piece of cake for UCG! Tala got to work immediately by getting to know us personally and then asking us the right questions in order to shortlist and organise viewings of venues in the city as well as in the nearby countryside that would fit within our wants, needs, budget, and overall vibe of what we wanted for our wedding. She found us the most beautiful manor house/events hall in Surrey (easy access for our guests – an hour from the city and near Heathrow Airport) that provided the "English Garden" beauty, romanticism and escapism we wanted to highlight for our guests coming from the Middle East, the US, and other parts of the UK during the summer of 2022. They even had wild peacocks roaming around the gardens! From then on and throughout the planning, UCG remained incredible – and we are still just so grateful. Tala's attention to detail, speed at which she would organise the next thing on "the list", her professionalism, rapport with vendors, her joyful and friendly demeanour kept us calm during what is known to be a stressful time! No matter what silly question we had or what anxious feeling we had, Tala was there. To hire someone who became a good friend was just the icing on top. She drove with us to flower vendors, she dealt with negotiations, we would bounce ideas off of each other, she would scour the net to find things we didn't even think of, all to add that extra personal touch. Tala worked tirelessly to make our vision come to life, and did it all with a smile. Many wedding/event planners just do what they've outlined in the contract, but not UCG – they go above and beyond. The morning after our wedding, Tala had organised a box for me of little mementos from the night! Honestly, thanks to UCG's impeccable planning, we did not have one stress on our wedding day. I don't even think there were any "fires" to put out because they are that amazing. Our wedding guests even praised the effortless, loving atmosphere during our special day and knew it was all down to UCG. Five Stars is not enough – would HIGHLY recommend UCG Luxury Destination Events. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Tala and the team at UCG Luxury Destination events were absolutely fantastic when planning our wedding in Bodrum, and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a first class event planner. It was an absolute pleasure working with Tala over a two year engagement. She was unfailingly supportive, knowledgable and worked with us to help curate and pull together a vision that honestly could not have gone better! Her experience was absolutely vital and she was always in communication to help at different stages of the process. Planning a wedding abroad (in an area you don’t really know!) is a tough ask but she helped guide us through every step of the way - using her knowledge of Bodrum to help blend the best of local with an international and luxury feel. On a personal level, we wanted to thank her for remaining so calm and reassuring throughout! Her steady hand and experience was vital for steering us through some of the more stressful moments when bringing everything together. Would highly recommend for your next destination wedding or event!

It was an absolute pleasure working with UCG Luxury Destination Events! We had our wedding in Bodrum in 2016, where Tala really turned our dreams into reality. She really “gets it!” All our friends were super happy that everything was so organized from the minute they started planning the trip until getting on the flight home. We had guests coming from London, Dubai and Egypt so they really appreciated the smooth logistics. No detail was ever overlooked.

We celebrated our special day at the Rosewood London and we couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without Tala. From start to finish, she were an absolute dream to work with. She took the time to understand our vision, added thoughtful touches that made the day feel uniquely ours, and handled every detail with grace and professionalism. The level of care they put into planning, organizing, and coordinating every part of our celebration was beyond impressive. We felt completely at ease, knowing everything was in such capable hands. Our guests are still raving about the seamless experience and the beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a planner who genuinely cares about making your dream day come to life! Thank you so much
