The Burj Al Arab is taking romance to new heights and now offering weddings in the sky at 212 metres above the azure Arabian Gulf on the famous Burj Al Arab helipad.
Each ceremony is specially designed by a Wedding Architect who is responsible for every detail and available all day. The experience has a starting price of AED 200,000* (approximately US$55,000) and can include arrival at Burj Al Arab by air in an Italian twin engine Augusta 109 or by road in a Rolls Royce Phantom; exquisite accommodation in one of Burj Al Arab’s 202 suites ranging in size from 170–780 square metres; private tasting sessions with Burj Al Arab’s award-winning Executive Chef Maxime Luvara- Consultations on wedding cake design, structure, flavour and composition with Burj Al Arab’s Executive Pastry Chef Johannes Bonin; beverage sampling and advice with Burj Al Arab’s Head Sommelier Dimitar Dimitrov; relaxation and beauty treatments at Burj Al Arab’s Talise Spa; a specially-designed wedding scent developed by a leading perfumist and private after-hours access to top luxury fashion brands, among other specialties.
The Burj Al Arab helipad has a history of hosting unique activities. In 2004 Tiger Woods teed off the helipad and the following year Roger Federer and Andre Agassi challenged each other to a game of tennis there. In 2011 Rory McIlroy performed a hole-in-one from the helipad pad and last year Formula One Champion David Coulthard performed donuts in a Red Bull Racing car. This new wedding experience will add to the hotel’s long list of extravagant occasions.
