About the venue
Depot Bosphorus occupies a former tram depot on Cartesiusweg, with the original steel roof trusses and rails still visible in the floor. The hall is rented as a shell: no fixed decor, no imposed colour scheme, so a family can shape the space entirely to its own taste, from a lit walkway for the gelin yolu to a dedicated corner for evening prayer.
The space seats 150 to 280 guests and has its own halal kitchen with large-scale ovens for lamb and pilav. Manager Kerem Yildirim can arrange a sound technician familiar with davul-zurna performances on request and usually replies within a day. Free parking for 90 cars and a separate loading door for caterers are included as standard.

Recommendations
6 recommendations“What drew us in was exactly that nothing was pre-decorated. We had the whole main hall dressed in our own fabrics and lights, and the rails still in the floor gave the photos that extra industrial edge.”
“Kerem (funnily enough, same name as mine) arranged a sound technician within a day who knew exactly how to mix the davul and zurna without it turning into noise. That saved us a lot of headaches beforehand.”
“My father could quietly do his evening prayer in the separate corner while the gelin yolu was being prepared downstairs. It is not a cleared-out cupboard but a genuinely screened-off space, and my parents appreciated that a lot.”
“The kitchen with those large ovens for lamb and pilav is not just for show, we had 260 guests and the food came out hot and on time. The separate loading door for the caterer also kept the main entrance calm.”
“Ninety free parking spots might sound like overkill, but on a Saturday night with family arriving from all over the Netherlands, it was exactly enough. Nobody had to hunt for a spot elsewhere.”
“One small caveat: the hall really is a blank shell, so if you don't have a clear idea for decor yourself it can feel bare. Kerem thankfully thought along actively and sent us photos of earlier weddings, after which it fell into place quickly.”
