Wedding & Event Services on the Princes’ Islands

At Liya All, the wedding experience is built around our All’N One service approach. Couples choose the level of service that best suits them from the Elite, Plus and Ultra packages, while sea transportation, gastronomy, décor, photography and video, wedding planning, music and the many other elements that complete the celebration are managed, coordinated and delivered by Liya under one roof.

What sets All’N One apart is not simply the number of services it brings together. It is the way every element of the wedding is managed within one cohesive plan, by teams working in sync as part of a single operational structure. Instead of coordinating multiple suppliers separately, couples move through the entire process—from the preparation stage to the wedding day—with one team.

Gastronomy is also an integral part of the Liya experience and is delivered entirely in-house. Menus served at weddings and events are not outsourced; they are freshly prepared and served by Liya’s own kitchen and chefs.

Beyond weddings, Liya All also hosts engagement celebrations, henna nights, marriage proposals, graduation galas, corporate dinners and entertainment, product launches, corporate gatherings and private celebrations.

For events, the service scope and programme are shaped around the nature of the occasion. Sea transportation, gastronomy, service, technical infrastructure, décor, music and any additional requirements are determined according to the guest count, the purpose of the event and the planned flow, and are then delivered by the Liya team.

Wedding Experiences on Sedef Island

At Liya All, weddings are shaped as a complete experience, bringing together the natural atmosphere of Sedef Island with the All’N One approach from start to finish. Mini Weddings for 60–100 guests offer a more intimate celebration, while couples living abroad—including both Turkish and international couples—have also been an important part of Liya weddings for many years.

Events & Celebrations at Liya All

Liya All’s waterfront spaces host much more than weddings, welcoming corporate events, company gatherings, graduation galas, engagements, henna nights, marriage proposals and private celebrations.

At Liya, events are not built around a fixed format. Each one is shaped according to its purpose, content and overall flow.

A product launch has different requirements from a company dinner, just as a graduation gala differs from a private celebration. For this reason, the programme, guest count and expectations of each event are evaluated individually, and the scope of services is tailored accordingly.

Sea transportation, gastronomy, service, décor, technical infrastructure, music and entertainment are brought together by Liya in line with the needs and flow of each event.

The aim is not to make every event fit Liya, but to shape Liya’s capabilities around the needs of each event.

Sedef Island’s waterfront setting allows each occasion to be shaped for anything from a small, intimate dinner to a larger celebration.

All’N One: Wedding Services Under One Roof

Behind every wedding is a level of planning, teamwork and operation that guests rarely see. Liya All’s All’N One wedding concept is built around bringing these different elements together within one cohesive structure, so they can be planned, managed and delivered as part of a single experience.

Couples choose the service scope that best suits them from the Elite, Plus and Ultra packages. Depending on the selected package, Liya brings together the many elements that shape the wedding experience—from design and gastronomy to sea transportation, photography and video, wedding planning, music and entertainment.

The value of All’N One lies not only in the number of services it includes, but in the way those services work together as part of the same plan. On the wedding day, transportation, the kitchen, service teams, event operations, visual production and entertainment are managed as connected parts of one experience rather than as separate processes.

All’N One is not simply a package that combines different services. It is Liya’s service model for ensuring that every part of the wedding works together.

Upon request, sea transportation can also be arranged from Beşiktaş, Kabataş and Yeşilköy on Istanbul’s European side.

An important part of the Liya experience begins before guests even arrive on the island. There is no motor vehicle traffic on Sedef Island, and access is provided by sea. At Liya, sea transportation is not left as a separate logistical task for couples to arrange; it is managed by Liya as part of the wedding experience.

On the wedding day, the couple arrives at Sedef Island aboard a private luxury motor yacht reserved especially for them. A separate private boat service is arranged for family members and close guests, while the main guest transportation is provided by a larger passenger vessel departing from Bostancı.

At the end of the wedding, return services are scheduled at different times for guests. Liya’s other sea vessels are also available for private transfers when needed during the day. Pier operations, guest guidance and the coordination of sea transportation are managed by the Liya team.

At Liya, the journey by sea is not simply a way to reach the island; it is where the wedding experience begins.
