Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

A Wedding Inside the Symbol of Dubai.

Burj Al Arab Jumeirah rises 321 metres from its own island on the Arabian Gulf, the sail-shaped icon that became the symbol of the city. Inside is a world of gold-leaf atriums, 202 duplex suites, Michelin-starred kitchens, and private butlers. For a wedding it offers settings found nowhere else: a helipad ceremony 210 metres above the sea, the gold Al Falak ballroom, the Skyview high in the sail, and the Terrace reaching out over the water. It is, quite simply, the most iconic address in Dubai.

Weddings at Burj Al Arab Jumeirah

The Most Extraordinary Wedding Settings in Dubai.

No address in Dubai offers a wedding like Burj Al Arab. The most intimate of ceremonies can be held on the helipad, 210 metres above the Arabian Gulf, with the city and the sea spread out in every direction. The gold Al Falak ballroom seats up to 250 guests beneath a soaring ceiling for the grandest of receptions. The Skyview, high in the sail, and the Terrace, reaching out over the Gulf with its infinity pools, offer settings between the two. Wedding menus are composed individually by the hotel's kitchens, with couture cakes, champagne towers, and formal silver service. A private butler attends the couple throughout, the suites of the sail accommodate the wedding party, and Talise Spa is open for the days around the celebration. It is, as one couple put it, less a venue than a dream made entirely your own.

A Wedding in the Skies on the Burj Al Arab Helipad

Al Muntaha, Al Mahara

A Michelin Star at the Top of the Sail.

Al Muntaha sits at the very top of Burj Al Arab, holding a Michelin star for its contemporary Mediterranean cooking high above the Gulf. Al Mahara, reached through a simulated submarine voyage, sets its seafood tables around a vast floor-to-ceiling aquarium, the signature dishes built around the day's catch. The Terrace serves relaxed Mediterranean dining beside the sea, and a wider collection of restaurants and bars completes the offer. Wedding menus are composed individually with each couple, with couture cakes, champagne towers, and formal silver service, staged in the ballroom, a private suite, or one of the signature restaurants.

Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, the iconic sail on the Arabian Gulf

The Symbol of Dubai

A billowing, sail-shaped tower rising 321 metres from its own island on the Arabian Gulf, opened in 1999 and recognised everywhere on earth. A gold-leaf atrium, a private causeway, and a fleet of chauffeured Rolls-Royces at the door.

The Icon

A Helipad in the Sky

The most intimate of ceremonies can be held on the helipad, 210 metres above the Arabian Gulf, with the city and the sea spread out in every direction. It is the most extraordinary wedding setting in Dubai, and one of the most photographed places in the world.

The Ballroom

A Michelin Star in the Sky

Al Muntaha holds a Michelin star at the very top of the sail, and Al Mahara sets its seafood tables around a vast floor-to-ceiling aquarium. Wedding menus are composed individually by the hotel's kitchens, staged in the ballroom, a suite, or a signature restaurant.

A Global Icon

The Building That Became the Symbol of Dubai.

When Burj Al Arab opened on its own island in 1999, it redefined what a hotel could be: 321 metres of billowing, sail-shaped architecture, a private causeway, a gold-leaf atrium, and a helipad that has since hosted tennis matches in the clouds and some of the most photographed moments in the world. It remains the global symbol of Dubai luxury, a building recognised everywhere on earth. To marry here is to marry inside an icon, with a fleet of chauffeured Rolls-Royces at the door and the Arabian Gulf at your feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Burj Al Arab Jumeirah

It is a wedding inside the symbol of Dubai: a sail-shaped icon rising 321 metres from its own island on the Arabian Gulf. Nowhere else in the city can a couple exchange vows on a helipad 210 metres above the sea, then celebrate beneath the gold ceiling of the Al Falak ballroom.

The helipad sits 210 metres above the Arabian Gulf at the top of the sail, the same platform that has hosted some of the most photographed moments in the world. It is reserved for the most intimate of ceremonies, with the city skyline and the open sea spreading out in every direction.

Burj Al Arab opened on its own man-made island in 1999 and became the global symbol of Dubai luxury, 321 metres of billowing architecture connected to the shore by a private causeway. Inside is a soaring gold-leaf atrium, 202 duplex suites, and some of the finest restaurants in the city.

Guests can dine at the Michelin-starred Al Muntaha at the summit and at Al Mahara around its great aquarium, relax at Talise Spa with its gold facials and ocean-view treatment suites, spend the day on the Terrace with its infinity pools over the Gulf, and arrive in a chauffeured Rolls-Royce.

The hotel has 202 two-storey duplex suites, from 170 to 780 square metres, each with a private butler and floor-to-ceiling views of the Gulf. The couple usually takes one of the signature suites near the top of the sail, with the wedding party staying across the suites for the celebration.

As one couple described it, you are not booking a venue but stepping into a dream that is made entirely your own. From the warmth of the staff to the helipad in the sky and the gold of the ballroom, a wedding at Burj Al Arab is thoughtful, opulent, and unforgettable.
