Costs for Indian destination wedding at Çırağan Palace Kempinski

Here’s a clear breakdown of approximate costs for an Indian-style destination wedding at Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul — one of Turkey’s most iconic luxury palace wedding venues:

For a high-end venue like Çırağan Palace, wedding dinners with a premium multi-course menu (often including drinks) typically start around:
🎉 €330 – €350 per person for the wedding dinner (menu/catering) — based on 2026 estimates for wedding dinner costs at Çırağan Palace.

This per person rate usually includes:

• Welcome drinks/cocktails
• Multi-course dinner service

  But doesn’t include luxury décor, flowers, DJ/live entertainment, or photographer/videographer — those are extra.

Many planners quote all-inclusive packages that bundle venue setup, décor, ceremony styling, and some services:
