Some of the 'stand-out' wedding venues in Dubai I have performed at...

Dubai is a dream destination for weddings, offering an array of stunning venues that cater to every couple’s vision of their perfect day. From luxurious beachfront resorts with breathtaking ocean views to grand ballrooms in iconic skyscrapers, the city is renowned for its opulence and versatility. Whether you're envisioning an intimate garden ceremony or a lavish celebration in a desert oasis, Dubai has it all. The city's seamless blend of modern elegance and rich cultural heritage makes it a top choice for couples looking to create unforgettable wedding experiences that are both unique and magical.

I have been fortunate to have been booked for many weddings in Dubai and some of the stand out venues for me include:

• The Waldorf Astoria, Palm Jumeirah. This hotel will always hold a place in my heart as it was the hotel that my sister and I stayed in when we first came on holiday here in 2015, 2 years before I moved here. I have performed at several weddings at this stunning hotel both inside the banquet halls and on the beach.

• The One & Only, Palm Jumeirah. This hotel is simply breathtaking. The weddings here have been jaw dropping and I can't wait for the next one...

• Meliá Desert Palm. Located, as the name may suggest, close to the desert but just a stones throw from the city, the Meliá Desert Palm is a 'wellness and peace sanctuary' with stunning grounds and gardens. This is an 'outside the box for Dubai' venue and I had one of my personal favourite wedding gigs here for the beautiful Amy and Ramon in 2022.

  
  

• Park Hyatt Dubai. This is the venue I have performed the most weddings at in Dubai and is a venue that always comes up in discussions with wedding coordinators and planners. The team at The Hyatt are wonderful to work with and the different locations around the resort offer multiple perfect settings for the different segments of your wedding day. The lawns offer a beautiful setting for the ceremony and then you can relocate your guests to their secret garden afterwards for an unforgettable reception and party!

• Bla Bla Beach Club. You name you might not expect to see on the list but it definitely deserves a very special mention. Jenni and her events team at Bla Bla have booked me now for several of the weddings that have been held at the Beach club in 2023 & 2024. This venue is cool and full of charisma with a stunning backdrop of Ain Dubai, Blue Waters and the beautiful Jumeirah beach. At the last wedding I sang welcome music as the guests arrived before singing the gorgeous bride down the aisle and then returned later in the evening with my band to perform 2 further sets of party music alongside the DJ.
