Abu Dhabi's Fairmont Bab Al Bahr Hotel, a Leading Destination for Weddings in the Middle East
Eighteen months and more than 90 weddings later this luxury Abu Dhabi hotel has appealed to a broad spectrum of couples with wedding of various sizes and traditions.

For eight to 800 and from Arabic marriage customs to English nuptials, "We take care of all the details and help plan everything from start to finish with the family, from working with suppliers for kosha designs to managing the sequence of events leading up to the special moment," says Arshad Hussain, this Abu Dhabi hotel's Director of Sales and Marketing. "We are quickly becoming known as the 'one stop shop' wedding destination in the city."

Boasting stunning outdoor venues and six versatile rooms, the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr offers resplendent settings from which to celebrate once-in-a-lifetime celebrations with family and friends. The largest venue, the Saqr Ballroom, features more than 1,076 square metres of space, a lofty nine metre high ceiling and an adjacent outdoor space. Additionally, a dedicated bridal suite provides exclusive space for the bride to prepare for the ceremonies ahead with the added benefit of a ladies security team and a private elevator leading directly into the Saqr Ballroom. Alternatively, the two-story Arzanah beach villa presents another option for the pre- and post-wedding preparations with ample living areas, four large bedrooms and an outdoor pool, courtyard and landscaped grounds.

From a more intimate ceremony, the Bu Tinah Pier projects into the Abu Dhabi Creek and offers a spectacular view of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This outdoor space can host up to 50 guests and can accommodate a small canopy for the wedding nuptials and various seating arrangements for the reception.
