The hall with the original crane rails, over twelve metres up.
The separate hall for the henna night the day before the wedding.
The side room temporarily set up as a prayer room.
The industrial entrance of the former factory hall.
“The original crane rails on the ceiling, over twelve metres up, gave our decorator all the room to hang something truly grand. Kerem Doğan, who worked in the events industry in Istanbul himself, understood exactly what we had in mind.”
“We used the separate henna hall the day before the wedding and that worked perfectly to keep the two evenings genuinely separate. With 480 guests in the main hall, there was never a moment it felt tight.”
“No curfew meant the halay kept going deep into the night without anyone coming to ask us to stop. Kerem replied within two days to all our questions, even when we wanted to adjust the layout last minute.”
“The prayer room was set up temporarily in one of the side rooms, exactly as promised, and my grandmother could pray there quietly between the different parts of the evening. The halal kitchen and the industrial entrance gave the whole event a unique atmosphere.”
“One small note: with such a high ceiling and large hall, it took a while for the heating to be really noticeable in winter. Kerem solved that with extra patio heaters placed close to the tables.”
