The Largest Wedding Ballrooms at Hotels in Dubai

A typical Emirati wedding, in terms of the number of wedding guests, is huge by international standards. It is not unusual for an Emirati couple to host 800 wedding guests or more, and it goes almost unsaid, that this is not a standing cocktail reception but rather a lavish seated banquet. So to have the perfect Dubai wedding, make sure you choose the right wedding venue.
