Weddings in Antalya, Turkey can take place beside the Mediterranean, in a resort hotel, a private villa or a garden surrounded by nature. Solara Event plans each celebration as one complete project, bringing together venue guidance, creative design, trusted suppliers, guest logistics and wedding-day coordination for couples planning from Turkey or abroad.

Why Choose Antalya for Your Wedding?

Antalya offers several wedding experiences within one region: beachfront resorts, city hotels, private villas, gardens, terraces and outdoor venues with Mediterranean views. Couples can choose a private celebration, a formal hotel reception or a multi-day destination wedding that allows guests to combine the event with a holiday in Turkey.

The right choice depends on more than appearance. Venue access, guest accommodation, airport transfers, season, heat, wind, sound restrictions, food and beverage rules, supplier access and the backup plan all affect the final experience. Local planning is valuable because these operational details must be checked with the venue and coordinated across every supplier before the wedding day.

Who is Antalya best suited to?

Antalya is well suited to couples who want a wedding with a strong sense of place, a choice of resort and private venues, and a memorable trip for their guests. It is especially relevant for international couples planning from abroad, families bringing guests from different countries and couples who want a beach, hotel, villa or garden celebration managed by one local team.

What Solara Evaluates and Coordinates

At Solara Event, we manage the wedding as one connected project rather than a collection of separate suppliers. Venue requirements, design, production, guest experience, technical teams, entertainment and the wedding-day schedule are planned together so the couple has one clear local point of coordination.

Planning & Budget Direction

We define the couple’s priorities, event scope and budget direction, then organise the decisions into a clear planning timeline. Venue, guest experience, design, production and supplier requirements are considered together.

Venue & Hotel Coordination

We help evaluate hotels, villas, gardens and other event spaces according to capacity, accommodation, access, service rules, season and budget. Venue communication and operational requirements are coordinated locally.

Concept & Design

The visual direction can include ceremony and reception layouts, florals, furniture, table styling, lighting, welcome areas, stationery and photo moments, all adapted to the venue’s real conditions.

Supplier & Production Management

Catering, music, sound, lighting, photography, video, florals, rentals, staging and specialist teams are briefed and coordinated through one production plan.

Guest Experience & Logistics

Accommodation options, transfers, arrival information, guest flow and the timing between wedding-related events can be coordinated according to the needs of the couple and their guests.

Wedding-Day Coordination

The Solara team supervises setup, suppliers, guest arrival, ceremony timing, service, entertainment transitions and the full event schedule on site.

How the Process Works

1 Discovery Call We discuss your preferred date, guest count, wedding style, budget direction and the experience you want to create. If you are planning from abroad, we also identify the decisions that can be handled remotely and the points that may require a visit.

2 Venue, Date & Guest Plan We evaluate suitable hotels, villas, gardens or coastal venues according to capacity, accommodation needs, access, service rules and budget. If your venue is already selected, we review its operational requirements and plan around them.

3 Design & Wedding Experience We develop the visual direction, ceremony and reception layout, floral approach, lighting, music areas, guest journey and key moments of the day. The design is shaped around both the couple’s style and the real conditions of the venue.

4 Suppliers, Site Visit & Final Plan We coordinate catering, music, sound, lighting, photography, video, florals, furniture and other required teams. Timings, access, responsibilities, technical needs and backup arrangements are confirmed in the final production plan.

5 Wedding-Day Management On the wedding day, the Solara Event team supervises setup, supplier arrivals, guest flow, ceremony timing, service, entertainment transitions and the overall programme. The couple and their families can focus on the celebration instead of managing operations.

Founded by Selin Özyurt in Antalya in 2023, Solara brings creative planning and organised project management together. Every wedding begins with the couple's story, priorities and guest experience rather than a standard package.

Antalya provides an extraordinary setting. Our role is to make sure the wedding created within it belongs completely to you.

What shapes your proposal

The cost of a wedding in Antalya depends on more than the number of guests. Venue and hotel requirements, season, food and beverage, design, floral production, entertainment, photography, technical equipment, accommodation and transport can all change the total budget. A reliable quotation should therefore be based on the couple’s priorities and the real scope of the event.

Guest count

Influences venue size, tables, chairs, food and beverage, staffing, transport and production requirements.

Venue & hotel

Venue hire, accommodation, minimum-spend rules, supplier access, setup times and included services can significantly change the total.

Season & date

Popular dates, weekends and high-demand periods can affect venue and supplier availability as well as pricing.

Food & beverage

Menu format, drinks, service style, wedding cake, welcome events and additional meals are major budget components.

Design & production

Floral density, custom structures, furniture, lighting, staging, ceremony design and table details determine the scale of production.

Entertainment & media

DJ or live music, sound, screens, performances, photography, video and drone services add different creative and technical requirements.

Guest travel & extra events

Airport transfers, accommodation coordination, welcome dinners, pool or beach events and next-day gatherings expand the overall programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a wedding in Antalya cost?

The cost depends on guest count, venue, season, menu, design, floral production, entertainment, photography, technical requirements and guest logistics. A small villa wedding and a multi-day resort celebration require very different teams and budgets. Solara prepares a tailored quotation after the priorities and event scope are understood.

What types of wedding venues are available in Antalya?

Antalya offers resort hotels, city hotels, private villas, gardens, terraces, outdoor event spaces and selected coastal settings. The best option depends on capacity, accommodation, access, privacy, service rules, season and the atmosphere you want to create. We help evaluate both the appearance and the operational suitability of each venue.

Can we plan our Antalya wedding while living abroad?

Yes. The main planning decisions can be managed through scheduled calls, shared options, documented approvals and a clear production timeline. Solara acts as the local coordination point for the venue and suppliers, while keeping the couple informed at every important decision stage.

How far in advance should we start planning?

For most international weddings, beginning around 9–12 months ahead provides a wider choice of dates, venues and suppliers. Large, multi-day or peak-season weddings may benefit from more time. Shorter lead times can still be considered depending on venue and team availability.

Can Solara coordinate guest accommodation and transfers?

Yes. We can help coordinate suitable hotel options, guest arrival information, airport or venue transfers and the timing between accommodation and wedding events. The exact scope depends on guest numbers, travel plans and the hotels involved, so these needs should be discussed early in the planning process.

Can foreign couples have a legal wedding ceremony in Turkey?

Legal requirements depend on nationality, personal circumstances and the documents requested by the relevant authorities. Some couples complete the legal formalities separately and hold a symbolic ceremony in Antalya. Current requirements should always be confirmed with the appropriate Turkish authorities and the couple’s consulate; Solara manages the event and celebration rather than providing legal advice.
