Sunset Ceremony Timeline on the Bosphorus

Sunset ceremonies sell out first in summer. Lock the golden-hour window, then build the rest of the timeline backward.

Sample 4-hour slot

• T-45: bridal party boards
• T-20: guest welcome drink
• T-0: vows facing the light
• T+20: couple portraits
• T+45: seated dinner

Ask your planner for the exact sunset time on your date; captains adjust the route so vows happen with the skyline behind you.
