With 438 rooms, about 875 guests at two per room, Renaissance Polat can hold a wedding of 300 to 800 guests in-house, usually on a room block rather than a buyout. It has two ballrooms, so the sangeet and reception can run on consecutive nights in different rooms without waiting for a turnaround. The pool venue adds an outdoor option from late spring.

• Mehendi around the outdoor pool in the warmer months, or in the Marmara lounge and on the L Floor Terrace for a smaller group.

Best dates

Istanbul’s weather is best for outdoor functions from April to June and in September and October; winter is wet and suits a ballroom wedding. The 2027 Hindu calendar has no muhurats in August, September or October (Chaturmas), so families who follow the muhurat usually choose late April to June, which has 44 dates from 18 April, or November, which has 11 dates from 10 November. The outdoor pool venue suits late spring and early summer; for November or the winter dates, run every function in the two ballrooms. See IWP’s full list of Hindu wedding dates of 2027.
