The white hall with steel-framed windows and polished concrete floor.
The separate bridal suite next to the main hall.
The entrance with the original factory signage.
The warm-up kitchen for the fixed or your own caterer.
“The white walls and polished concrete floor gave us exactly the blank canvas we needed to style ourselves, without running into a ready-made decor scheme. Elif Kaplan also let us bring our own caterer, which is not a given everywhere.”
“We held the nikah and the reception in the same space with just a layout change in between, exactly as promised. The large steel-framed windows let in so much daylight that we barely needed extra lighting during the day.”
“Elif works with three fixed halal caterers but was flexible when we wanted someone else, no pushback at all. With 220 guests the hall felt just the right size without feeling empty.”
“The separate bridal suite next to the main hall was quiet enough to step away from the party between photo moments. Fully alcohol-free as planned, no doubts from the family.”
“One small note: because there is no fixed decor, you do need to think through the styling yourself, which takes a bit more time than a dressed-up hall. Elif replied quickly to our questions about it and thought practically along with us.”
