Planning order

How to plan weddings in Dubai

  1. 1

    Fix the date and guest count

    Winter (October to April) is peak season in the UAE and venues fill 6–12 months ahead. Your guest count sets the venue shortlist.

  2. 2

    Book the venue, then the planner

    Many hotel venues include catering and basic decor; a planner or day-of coordinator makes the rest of the bookings easier.

  3. 3

    Lock photography and video

    Good teams take one wedding a day; confirm them as soon as the date is fixed.

  4. 4

    Decor, entertainment and the details

    Stage (kosha), florals, DJ or band, and the timeline — usually 2–4 months out.

What it costs

Budget for weddings in Dubai

Indicatively, a 150-guest hotel wedding in Dubai or Abu Dhabi starts around AED 80,000–120,000 all-in, with venue and catering taking half or more. Smaller venues and weekday dates bring this down sharply.

Local tips

  • Ask venues about separate men’s and women’s halls or majlis space if you need them.
  • Confirm music finish times and whether the venue is licensed, before booking entertainment.
  • For mixed-nationality weddings, check caterers can run two menus on the same service.
