Good to know
Planning tips for a Conrad Istanbul wedding
A large wedding at a city hotel runs smoothly when a few details are settled early. With Ramarossi, one team looks after them for you:
- Guest rooms. With 539 rooms and suites, most of your guests can stay at the hotel. Plan the rooms before you send invitations.
- Terrace and ballroom. The terrace is listed for about 240 at a banquet and the ballroom for about 750, so for a larger wedding the ceremony can be on the terrace and the dinner in the ballroom.
- Getting around. Beşiktaş can be busy in the evening. We plan arrival times and transfers with traffic in mind.
- Music and timings. Outdoor music may have an end time set by the hotel. Plan the ceremony outside and the party indoors if you want to dance late.

Can we have a legal (civil) wedding at Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus?
In Turkey, a legal marriage is performed by an authorised marriage officer from the local municipality. Couples from abroad usually need passports, birth certificates, a certificate of no impediment from their own country and a health report from a public hospital, with official Turkish translations of foreign documents, and the exact list depends on your nationality. Whether the officer can come to the hotel is decided by the municipality, so we check this for your date. You can also marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Istanbul, if you prefer.
Where can we hold a welcome dinner or henna night?
The Junior Ballroom and the hotel's restaurants are options to look at for a henna or Mehndi night or a welcome dinner. We also plan dinners on a private Bosphorus boat, so each event of your wedding week has its own setting.
