The glorious Bosphorus hotel is perched on the very banks of this beautiful stretch of water, underneath the iconic Bosphorus Bridge, one of the loveliest bridges in the world, which spans the waterway between Europe and Asia.
Located just a half an hour’s drive from Ataturk Airport, your guests will find it easy to join you even if they arrive on the day, but with the magical city of Istanbul on the hotel’s doorstep, no one will want to leave before visiting the unforgettable locations of Topkapi, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. The hotel itself has many spaces which embrace the view of the gardens and the bridge; the Bosphorus Ballroom will hold 300 guests for a banquet, the Atik Pasha Ballroom and Terrace both hold 700 people seated for a dinner or, for an intimate wedding, the Yeniköy holds just 30.
The scene of the Bosphorus in the backdrop sets the tone for the wedding, and the food and drink are no less impressive either. The Four Seasons at the Bosphorus in Istanbul has talented in-house pastry chefs who can create a bespoke wedding cake from scratch or one of your designs. The food for your guests, whether a buffet for one thousand, an intimate dinner for thirty or anything in-between, will be prepared to your taste by the kitchens – menus are available but a totally custom choice is also possible; our luxury wedding planners will liaise with the hotel to ensure that the food is as memorable as the hotel setting. The hotel can cater for a wide range of cultures including Arab, Persian, Indian as well as European.
The rooms and outside spaces of the Four Seasons Istanbul are all stunning and with the backdrop of the Bosphorus, the photographs can’t fail to be spectacular. Inside, the hotel can decorate the rooms to coordinate with any colour scheme, with flowers from local florists with whom the hotel often work; from posies to theatrical displays, whatever the happy couple plan, the Four Seasons Bosphorus, working in close conjunction with our luxury party planners, will be pleased to provide. Classic white linens are available as standard in the price but anything can be arranged to recreate the wedding you had imagined.
Of course, a wedding is a highlight of anyone’s life and a day to remember, but it can also be very stressful. The Four Seasons Bosphorus in Istanbul have some very tempting spa packages for brides, grooms and guests and if you are wondering what gifts to give to the best man and bridesmaids what could be nicer than some intensive pampering? Either before the day to get everyone relaxed or afterwards to unwind from the stresses of the day, the spa treatments on offer can be personalised to be taken solo or as a charming ‘hen’ or ‘stag’ event. Because most guests at the wedding in Istanbul will be staying over for at least a night or two, a spa treatment would be a marvellous way to get together and have a catch-up in real luxury.
