A Private Chef for Intimate Villa Weddings
The most memorable Bodrum weddings aren't always the biggest. An intimate villa wedding or elopement — twenty friends, an Aegean terrace, a sunset over the water — is exactly where a private chef shines. Kapelia cooks the wedding dinner in your own villa kitchen, plated as fine dining or served family-style, with a welcome cocktail and the chef's surprise built in. For larger weddings with a main venue, we take care of the celebration dinners around the ceremony so every meal of the week is handled. We never overpromise on scale — we tell you honestly what suits a private chef and what's better left to a banquet caterer.
The Wedding Dinners We Cook
Welcome Dinner
The night your guests arrive from around the world. A relaxed, family-style Aegean spread on the terrace that lets everyone meet and breathe before the big day.
Rehearsal Dinner
An elegant, intimate dinner the evening before — plated courses, candlelight, and a menu chosen around the couple's favourite flavours.
The Wedding Feast (Intimate)
For small villa weddings and elopements, the main event: a multi-course Aegean wedding dinner cooked and served in your villa, with a welcome cocktail and a celebratory dessert moment.
Day-After Brunch
The gentle close to a wedding weekend — eggs, pastries, fresh fruit and Turkish tea on the terrace before everyone scatters home.
Our Menus
Choose from six curated menus or design your own. Every dish is personalised to your couple, your theme and your guests' diets.
Menus Built Around Every Guest's Diet
Wedding guest lists are dietary-mixed by nature, and we plan around that as standard: vegetarian, vegan, halal, no-beef, gluten-free and allergy-aware menus, labelled per dish. Hosting an Indian wedding? See our dedicated Indian wedding private chef service — we cater the surrounding events and coordinate with your Indian caterer.
Wedding-Friendly Villas Across Bodrum
We cook weddings across the whole peninsula. The most popular bases are Yalıkavak, Türkbükü, Torba and Gümüşlük for their villas and sunset terraces — though wherever your wedding villa is, we come to you.
