The story
A pearl-named ballroom and a kilometre of Gulf shore
At the Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, the Loulou'a Ballroom takes its name from the Arabic word for pearl — and its decoration from the same source. Pearl motifs adorn the walls; chandeliers dazzle overhead; the palette runs to purple, gold and cream. This is a grand room in the fullest sense, capable of seating 550 guests for a formal dinner or receiving 800 standing, yet the detailing is specific enough to feel deliberate rather than merely large. Outside, the contrast is complete: eighteen thousand square feet of Gulf Lawn spill to the shoreline, where the sea provides a horizon line for ceremonies of up to 600 seated guests, and the La Brise Lawn gathers up to a thousand more for cocktails with Palm Jumeirah in the background.
The hotel's 32,000 square feet of event space — spread across the ballroom, lawns, La Baie Lounge and smaller rooms — means the full arc of a wedding celebration can unfold without any guest ever needing to leave the property. Wedding packages begin at AED 350 per person, covering five ceremony styles from the intimate Blessing package to the full Luxury ceremony, each including venue hire, catering, linens and a one-night deluxe room for the couple. A dedicated event planner, in-house florist and culinary team coordinate every detail together.
