Istanbul's historic walls against the bride's veil

Wedding parties can be held in most venues built by district municipalities across Turkey. 

There are many options available to the public. Menus are reasonably priced, ranging from 46 Turkish Liras per person to 58 liras per person for a "white meat wedding" at municipality venues. The price of the posher "red meat wedding" is 58 liras to 68 liras per person. 

Prices are the same if it is not a wedding but rather a circumcision feast, engagement party, or other meeting. 

In terms of organizational support, the municipality venues offer endless logistical options. 

If you want the chairs to be decorated, you can pay an extra 5 liras for every person invited. 

Decorating the bride's table costs around 350 liras, but this rises to around 800 liras if you want to make it a really luxury decoration. What does this 450 lira difference buy you? I really don't know. Live birds? 

If you want a clown to perform, it costs an extra 250 liras. If you want a folk orchestra it costs an extra 500 liras. There is also a "volcano" option that includes shows with sparklers or small fireworks and costs an extra 350 liras. 

If you want a janissary band, it is 1,750 liras. 

If you want a gypsy band, it is 2,000 liras. 

If you want the bride to be carried into the hall by the janissaries on a sedan chair, it is 900 liras. As far as I know, historical janissaries never performed the function of carrying brides into the wedding hall, but the list for Fatih Municipality's Topkapı Social Facility includes such a service. 

A simple girandole is 35 liras, but if you opt for a bigger one then you need to pay 65 liras. 

Confetti costs 250 liras, which is strange as I remember the confetti used at...
