The property makes for an ideal wedding destination as the services and venues it offers are synonymous to grandeur and services mark for excellence.
"Istanbul, the empress of cities and the city of empresses and sultans. What better place to join two loving hearts together than this city where continents come together, thrive side by side and unforgettable memories are created everyday. With two distinctively different but equally impressive hotels in Istanbul, Four Seasons hosts some of the most memorable weddings in modern history", says Basak Gungor, Director of Catering - Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus
