Gizem Aral
Co-founder, Lead Event Planner
A team of 14, 38 partner venues and more than 1,450 events delivered.
Hanımeli Organizasyon was founded in Üsküdar in 2012, born from the chaos two friends experienced at their own weddings. Our idea has not changed since: couples should live the day rather than wrestle with its plan. Today our team of 14 manages more than 150 events a year in Istanbul and nearby provinces from start to finish.
We assign every couple a single lead planner who stays with them from the first meeting to the last day. Your planner manages every supplier on your behalf, including venue, menu, décor, music, photography and transport; you only make the decisions. Because we have our own kitchen and floral design team, we cut intermediary layers and keep pricing transparent.
Since 2012 we have delivered more than 1,450 events, built working arrangements with 38 venues and scored 4.9 out of 5 in our 2025 satisfaction survey. Our team includes planners, a chef and kitchen crew, floral designers, installation crews and client relations specialists.
To cut food and flower waste we plan portions in our kitchen and deliver surplus food to a partner food bank. For flowers we prefer local and seasonal production, and we suggest donating post-event flowers to hospitals and care homes.
The same person stays with you from the first meeting to the last day; one point of contact for every question.
Garden, seaside, historic mansion and ballroom options; we handle availability and rent negotiation.
Our chef prepares the menu; no menu is confirmed without a tasting.
Colour palette, table plan and floral design are drawn to your family's taste.
Date changes and cancellation terms are in the contract from the start.
