Weddings on Büyükada, Istanbul

Ceremonies shaped by sea and sky, set within one of Istanbul’s most distinctive island wedding destinations.

A wedding here begins long before the ceremony.


It begins before the ceremony. Arrival by boat leads into a first gathering in the gardens, that moment just before everything shifts. Then the setting reveals itself, from panoramic terraces by the sea to the grandeur of the Akdağ Grand Mansion, where light, movement and anticipation build naturally.

With accommodation across the estate, celebrations extend beyond a single day, allowing guests to stay as the pace settles and the experience continues without interruption. For those seeking complete privacy, the entire estate becomes your own, with every space forming part of one continuous celebration.

Sea freight logistics for event equipment are arranged and covered by the resort.
