Dubai is the heart of luxury weddings—home to iconic architecture, stunning beaches, world-class venues, and top-tier hospitality. Whether you’re a UAE resident or planning a destination wedding, Dubai offers the perfect backdrop for your big day.


🗓 Step 1: Choose the Right Wedding Date

  • Check availability of venues and vendors early

  • Don’t forget hidden costs (permits, VAT, tips, transport, etc.)
  • Let Jovial Events help optimize your budget while maintaining elegance

👰 Step 3: Hire a Trusted Wedding Planner

  • Dubai has many moving parts—permits, suppliers, multilingual guests, logistics
