Esra Levent

I am a proud native Istanbulite and have been a leader in the travel industry for 30 years. I have a track record of operating successful events and Turkey-wide logistics driven programs. My passion is matching up Indian families with their perfect locations, venues and suppliers in my country. I get involved from the very beginning of the planning process to actually being there on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly. Designing and co-ordinating exclusive Indian weddings in Turkish destinations which exceed my clients’ expectations on every level is my job. Outside of work I am an avid cook, culinary art specialist and food activist. I believe in increasing awareness about raising and eating fresh, healthy and locally grown food.
