Destination Wedding Planners in Dubai
A destination wedding is an opportunity for engaged couples to celebrate their marriage with close family members and friends at a gorgeous destination of their choosing away from home. Interest in destination weddings among couples based in the Middle East is growing; we are seeing more couples from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt, among other countries, holding their weddings in different destinations away from home.
At the same time, there are more and more destination weddings taking place in cities across the Middle East including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Muscat, and Manama, as well as, Lebanon and Jordan. In fact, Jordan hosted its first Indian destination wedding in December 2019; take a look at this Indian destination wedding in Jordan.
According to a survey conducted by the organizers of the Destination Wedding Planners Congress, it revealed that couples in the Middle East prefer these destinations among others: UAE, France, UK, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Thailand, Indonesia, Lebanon, and Morocco with the following destinations emerging as new destinations that couples in the Middle East are interested in: Portugal, Morocco, Thailand, Maldives, Mauritius, and Spain.
The fast-growing destination wedding industry has emerged as a lucrative business opportunity for Wedding Planners around the world and is today worth over $90 billion, representing 25% of the global wedding market. Wedding planners in the Middle East are also gaining the necessary experience in organizing destination weddings, particularly wedding planners in Dubai for Dubai weddings. Naturally, those non-UAE national wedding planners living in Dubai started organizing destination weddings back in their homeland and branched off to organize weddings in many different destinations around the globe.
