Yalıkavak, Bodrum
An olive-grove ceremony for 96
Hilltop estate, Aegean ceremony at six, dinner under fig trees, a yacht to the after-party in Türkbükü. Two cultures, one tablescape.
Destination weddings
A wedding that lives between two seas.
Three days, two countries' worth of guests, one producer. Carian Collective designs and runs destination weddings across Bodrum's olive-grove estates and Istanbul's Bosphorus palaces — every vendor briefed, every transfer plotted, every welcome bag in the right room.
What you receive
Six promises, one signature.
We replace the binder of vendors with a single producer. Below is what that actually buys you on the day.
01
A single producer
One senior producer leads every conversation, every WhatsApp, every walk-through — from first call to final transfer.
02
Curated venue list
Private estates, palace ballrooms and seaside resorts we know by name — and that know our families by name in return.
03
Vendor diplomacy
Florists, photographers, officiants, hair, music, calligraphy — briefed in your aesthetic, contracted, and managed from a single desk.
04
Multi-day choreography
Welcome dinner, the day, the after-brunch, a Bosphorus boat — guests move without instructions, drivers without delay.
05
Bilingual hospitality
Producers fluent in English, German, Arabic, Russian and Turkish. Your guests are met in their own language, every time.
06
On-the-ground crisis fluency
Weather, customs, paperwork, last-minute substitutions — we hold every plan B in our back pocket, so you never have to.
How we produce
Five chapters from inquiry to encore.
Predictable from the outside, intimate on the inside. Every wedding moves through the same five chapters — pace adjusts to your timeline.
- 01
Inquiry
A senior producer reads your brief, calls you within one business day, listens — no decks, no obligation.
- 02
Discovery
We visit venues, taste menus, walk the route — and return with a curated short-list, in your language.
- 03
Curation
Three editorial proposals, transparent budgets, named vendors. You choose; we contract.
- 04
Production
Run-sheets, vendor calls, dry-runs, welcome bags, transfers. We rehearse so you don't have to.
- 05
Aftercare
Honeymoon hand-off, photographer delivery, vendor settlements. The brief stays open until everyone is home.
Recent productions
Three weddings we'd repeat tomorrow.
Composite case-studies — names changed, choreography intact.
Bosphorus, Istanbul
A palace gala for 240
a 19th-century palace ballroom ballroom, sevillanas at midnight, a fleet of three caïques home along the strait. Production: six months, twelve vendors.
Türkbükü → Cappadocia
A two-act elopement for 18
Intimate Aegean dinner on Friday, sunrise hot-air balloon vows on Sunday. Private jet between. Producer travelled with the couple.

What couples ask us first.
