Understanding local regulations is key to a smooth wedding celebration. Here's what you need to know about music and noise in Kalkan.
Music Curfew
Like most Turkish resort towns, Kalkan has a music curfew: - Outdoor music must stop by midnight (12:00 AM) - Indoor venues may continue until 1:00–2:00 AM depending on the venue - Acoustic music is generally permitted later than amplified music
Working Within the Rules
The curfew doesn't have to limit your celebration. Here's how we work with it: - Start earlier — sunset ceremonies at 6 PM give you a full evening of music and dancing - Transition indoors — many venues have indoor spaces for late-night dancing - Acoustic sets — a beautiful way to wind down the evening
Volume Levels
We work closely with local authorities and our DJ/band partners to ensure: - Music levels are appropriate for the venue and time - Neighbours are respected - Your celebration feels vibrant and fun within the guidelines
Our Recommendation
Plan your timeline so that the big party moments — first dance, speeches, dancing — happen before 11 PM. Then let the evening wind down naturally with softer music, conversation, and stargazing.
