Plan your trip
We will organise a transfer from the Taksim area to the venue and back. Both Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) work well. We'll suggest accommodation options closer to the date. Please note the venue is outside the city center, a bit far from the main sightseeing areas.
We recommend arriving Friday, Sept 11th. Explore Istanbul over the weekend and join us for the celebration on Sunday.
Good to know
Semi-formal / cocktail attire. Think elegant but comfortable — you'll want to dance! Light colors are welcome, but please avoid white or ivory.
Your invitation will specify if you have a plus-one. If you're unsure, please reach out to us directly.
We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you understand and enjoy a night off!
Your presence is the greatest gift! If you'd like to contribute, we have a small honeymoon fund set up. Details will be shared closer to the date.
We kindly ask for an unplugged ceremony — our photographer will capture every moment. Feel free to snap away during the reception!
Yes, the venue has parking available. We'll share shuttle details closer to the date for those staying in the city center.
Taki is a cherished Turkish wedding tradition where guests pin gold coins, jewelry, or cash to a ribbon worn by the bride and groom. It's a way to wish the newlyweds prosperity. Gold jewelry or coins are traditional, but cash is also warmly welcomed.
Your presence is the greatest gift! If you'd like to give something: gold coins or jewelry are traditional for the taki ceremony. Cash is also appreciated. If bringing a physical gift, please keep in mind we'll need to transport it back to Norway. Of course, coming empty-handed is perfectly fine too!
