Subtotal $0.00
Last month, something special happened at KAPYA.
A family booked our entire restaurant to celebrate one of life’s most exciting moments: the gender reveal of their baby.
There were balloons – pink and blue. There were decorations. There was a beautiful cake waiting to be cut. And when the moment came? Cheers. Tears. Joy. The kind of happiness that fills a room and stays with you.
We felt honored to be part of it.
And it got us thinking: KAPYA is actually a perfect venue for gender reveal parties. Here’s why.
A Real Story: The Çelebi Family’s Gender Reveal at KAPYA
When the Çelebi family (*) first contacted us, they knew exactly what they wanted – a warm, welcoming space where they could gather 20 of their closest friends and family. They wanted good food, a festive atmosphere, and a place that felt special without being stuffy.
They chose KAPYA.
The setup:
- The entire restaurant reserved for their private party
- A long table for shared meze and kebabs
- Decorations in pink and blue throughout the space
- A big screen for the reveal video
- A projector for photos and music
The moment: When the cake was cut and pink filling spilled out? The room erupted. Parents cried. Friends hugged. And we got to watch it all while serving their favorite Turkish dishes.
It was, in a word, unforgettable.
