The Details

When and where is the wedding?

Our wedding will take place on July 2, 2026, at the Çırağan Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. The celebration will begin in the mid-afternoon, with the ceremony followed by dinner and dancing.

What about travel, accommodations, and things to do in Turkey?

We appreciate your patience as we finalize details regarding accommodation, transportation , and ideas for exploring Istanbul and beyond. These will be shared shortly to make your travel seamless.

What is the dress code?

The dress code is black tie optional. We encourage tuxedos or dark suits for gentlemen and floor-length gowns for ladies, with a strong nod to bright spring colors.




May I bring my children or a guest?

We kindly ask that you follow details noted on your invitation. Children and plus-ones are invited only if explicitly listed. Thank you for understanding as we celebrate with an intimate gathering.

What language will the ceremony be in?

Our ceremony will honor both of our cultures. It will feature a Persian Sofreh Aghd with readings in Farsi, alongside Western vows in English. Translations will be included so that all guests can share in the moment, and ushers will be present to guide guests in both languages.

What should I expect at the reception?

Guests will enjoy ceremony, cocktail hour, dining, and dancing outdoors along the Bosphorus. In the event of inclement weather, the celebration will continue seamlessly in the palace ballroom. 

Do you have a registry?

Your presence is truly the greatest gift we could ask for. For those who wish to give, we have created a registry of meaningful items and experiences, which may be found on this site.
