If you’re ready to elevate your love, consider exchanging vows 212 meters above sea level. Burj Al Arab, the sail-shaped hotel in the Middle East, offers a thrilling wedding experience at new heights. This seven-star Dubai hotel allows couples to say “I DO” on its iconic helipad, perched 212 meters above the Arabian Gulf.
Each ceremony is meticulously planned by a Wedding Architect, who is available 24/7 to ensure everything runs smoothly. Starting at $55,000, the luxurious wedding package includes a ride to the hotel in a Rolls Royce Phantom or a helicopter flight to the helipad in an Italian twin-engine Augusta 109. Inside, couples can enjoy one of Burj Al Arab’s 202 suites, private tasting sessions with award-winning Executive Chef Maxime Luvara, and the chance to customize their wedding cake with Executive Pastry Chef Johannes Bonin. Head Sommelier Dimitar Dimitrov will be available for beverage sampling and advice.
Couples will also enjoy a specially designed wedding scent from a leading perfumist, beauty treatments, and private sessions with celebrity personal trainers at Talise Spa. Fashion-conscious couples can benefit from personal styling sessions, shopping with access to top haute couturiers, and private after-hours access to luxury fashion brands, all included in this extravagant package.
Burj Al Arab’s General Manager, Heinrich Morio, says, “We’re always looking for new and special ways to delight and enchant our guests. We believe a once-in-a-lifetime event deserves a one-of-a-kind venue and are thrilled to add this special location to our ultimate experience collection.”
The helipad at Burj Al Arab is famous for hosting record-setting events. In 2004, Tiger Woods teed off from the helipad; in 2005, Roger Federer and Andre Agassi played tennis there; in 2011, Rory McIlroy scored a hole-in-one, and in 2013, Formula One Champion David Coulthard performed donuts in a Red Bull Racing car.
The Burj Al Arab’s “Wedding in the Skies” package starts at $55,000. For more information, visit Burj Al Arab.
