One accountable Mumbai planning office for an international wedding — venue, rooms, alcohol permits, Indian / halal / Jain catering, decor import, vendors and AUH logistics under a single flat-fee plan, so a Gulf city-luxury celebration stays calm, clear and exactly as intended.
Before you commit, we confirm whether Four Seasons Abu Dhabi truly fits your guest count, functions and budget — its strength is a polished mid-size ballroom wedding with skyline views and flagship service, not a 1,000-guest ground buyout or a private-beach ceremony, so we set expectations honestly and in writing.
An Abu Dhabi wedding needs alcohol-service permits, licensing and the right paperwork — we coordinate these with the hotel and authorities, so a big Gulf bar and late-night sangeet run legally and without last-minute surprises.
We negotiate Indian menus, satvik / Jain kitchens and halal requirements with the hotel, and where allowed bring in a vetted Indian caterer or a Mumbai chef team — so the food tastes like home, not a generic banquet.
With around 200 rooms and suites in the tower, the wedding party can stay under one roof beside The Galleria. We structure and negotiate the block, keep families grouped, and arrange vetted nearby Al Maryah / city overflow only if your numbers run large.
Flights from India into Zayed International Abu Dhabi (AUH) — or arrivals via Dubai (DXB), ~1h45 away — airport meet-and-greet, visa guidance, guest fleets across Al Maryah Island and inter-function movement: Elite runs the whole travel layer for an out-of-country wedding.
Our planning fee stays separate from vendor billing, and we take a limited number of weddings each month for senior attention on a destination this far from home.
Abu Dhabi's ballrooms that open right onto the water's edge — the grand Al Maryah Ballroom and the intimate Liwa Ballroom, plus five smaller salons for henna and pre-wedding nights and waterside terraces for cocktails — so a full multi-day wedding moves through the tower with skyline and Gulf views throughout. Exact capacities depend on layout; we confirm with the hotel for your guest count.
One natural way a 2–3 day city-luxury Abu Dhabi wedding can run across the tower. We tailor the exact flow to your functions, guest count, the season and permit timings.

An international city-island wedding means flights, visas, AUH / DXB arrivals, transfers and permits all need a plan from Mumbai. We run all of it so families simply arrive and celebrate.
