 Everyone
wants their wedding day to be one of the most
magical of their life, and what could be more
magical than to tie the knot in the spectacular
surroundings of Cappadocia with dramatic fairy
chimneys as a backdrop for your wedding photos?
Here at Hotel Cappadocia, we are determined to
make your wedding day a real day to remember. So
we have restored a lovely old cave house in the
picturesque old part of Goreme village as a
special place where the bride and groom can stay
with their family or friends. All the rooms in
the house are full of character and offer
wonderful views out over the rock plateau of
nearby Aktepe. To make your wedding really
special we can arrange for the celebrations to
spread over three days in traditional Turkish
style. The night before your wedding we will
take the bride and her female friends and
relatives to nearby Ibrahimpasa, a village which
has been little altered by tourism, where they
can take part in a traditional Henna Night.
At a
Henna Night women sing and dance together to
celebrate the bride’s impending nuptials. Then
those women who want to have their hands hennaed
as long-term reminder of the party. While the
women are dancing we will take the groom and his
friends to a local barber for a truly memorable
shave. Then we will take them to a
local hamam
where they will be thoroughly scrubbed and
massaged ready for their wedding.
Depending on your preference we can arrange for
you to exchange your marriage vows in a hot-air
balloon, in a rock-cut medieval church or in one
of the beautiful local valleys. Then you can
have your wedding photographs taken in the rose
garden attached to the Kelebek Hotel, the
perfect place for your wedding reception.
We can even arrange traditional Ottoman-style
wedding clothes for you if you would like.
Throughout the three days local musicians will
be on hand to serenade the happy couple and
their friends and family.
Believe us - it will be a real occasion to
remember!
HOW TO
GET MARRIED IN TURKEY?
Hotel Cappadocia will not only organize an
unforgettable wedding ceremony, but also assist
you at legal issues. Turkey is a secular country
and presents international wedding certificate
for couples.
How to get married in Turkey?
 First
of all you must obtain a document from the
proper authorities in your own country attesting
to your fitness for marriage. This can be a
marriage license or a statement that you can get
from your embassy in Turkey as well but still
The Turkish government requires authentication
of that paper. That can be done by The Ministry
of Foreign Affairs in Ankara or by The Governor
in Istanbul.
There are also some other necessary documents.
You need to get marriage petition from a
marriage office and fill it in and than get it
confirmed by an elderman. Both the groom and
bride will need to do a blood test and get
health report. Your IDs or passports and 5
pictures for each is needed as well.
When you contact us, we will get further
information about the steps of bureaucratic
process. For more information please
