The ballroom is spacious enough to hold the largest of Sangeets or reception dinner.
For those looking to have some outdoor elements to your wedding then the 85 hectares of manicured gardens, lush lawns and stunning 1.3 km beach give you plenty to chose from. There are many outside terraces for every size or type of ceremony and the largest, the Palace Terrace can hold up to 3,000 guests. The grounds give enough space for a full procession of the groom on a decorated ghodi or for the more extravagant, on a decorated elephant!
The Palace Terrace has the Palace itself as a stunning backdrop and breathtaking views of the gardens and beach. Let the Emirates Palace team, who are hugely experienced at planning Indian weddings, help create your memorable event right under the Abu Dhabi stars!
