About
A Refined Approach to Destination Weddings in Turkey
Esra Gencer Event is an Istanbul-based destination wedding and luxury event planning studio. We design timeless, refined wedding experiences at Turkey’s most prestigious palaces, waterfront mansions and five-star hotels. By combining strong local expertise with an international perspective, we deliver highly structured, seamless and thoughtfully curated celebrations.
Our Philosophy
The true value of a wedding is not only found in how it looks — but in how it is planned.
Our approach is built on clarity, structure and foresight. We create planning systems where every detail is anticipated, allowing our couples to step away from complexity and fully trust the process. Our role is to bring calm to decision-making and turn intricate logistics into an effortless experience.
Local Expertise. Global Perspective.
Based in Istanbul, we work across Turkey’s most sought-after destination regions.
From historic palaces such as Çırağan Palace, Esma Sultan Mansion and Adile Sultan Palace to carefully selected luxury resorts, we collaborate with venues known for exceptional service standards and architectural significance. Our deep understanding of local dynamics ensures a smooth experience for international guest profiles and multi-day celebrations.
The Planning Experience
We work with a limited number of weddings each season. This allows us to offer full focus, consistent communication and a high level of on-site presence. Throughout the planning journey, our couples experience a professional, composed and transparent process — from the first consultation to the final moment of the celebration. For us, true luxury is a planning experience that feels controlled, considered and entirely stress-free.
The Studio
Esra Gencer Event operates as a planning studio where discipline meets creativity.Each wedding is approached as a bespoke project, shaped by the couple’s lifestyle, the character of the venue and the nature of the celebration. We do not follow templates or trends; instead, we design experiences that feel intentional, balanced and enduring.
Based in Istanbul. Present Wherever the Celebration Takes Place.
While Istanbul is our home base, destination weddings require presence beyond planning.
Our team remains actively involved on-site throughout the event, ensuring precise coordination, informed decision-making and immediate problem resolution. This hands-on approach is essential to delivering flawless execution at the highest level.
A Discreet & Personal Process
Our clients value clarity, discretion and a high standard of professionalism.
Every collaboration is built on trust, confidentiality and open communication. We believe in consistency, attention to detail and a calm leadership style that allows our couples to feel confident and fully present throughout their celebration.
