How far in advance should I book a wedding planner in Dubai?

We recommend booking your wedding planner at least 6 to 12 months in advance. If you already have a venue secured, 6 months is a comfortable planning window. If the venue is still to be finalised, 8 to 10 months prior is ideal. For peak wedding season in Dubai (October to April), early booking is strongly advised as popular venues and suppliers fill up quickly.

Do you plan destination weddings outside the UAE?

Yes. Ikigaii Planners specialises in destination weddings worldwide. We have planned weddings in Thailand, Sri Lanka, India (Udaipur, Jaipur, Goa, Kerala, Mumbai), Mexico (Cancun, Riviera Maya, Tulum), Cyprus, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman. Our team handles all international logistics including vendor coordination, travel arrangements, visa guidance, and on-ground management.

What types of weddings does Ikigaii Planners specialise in?

Ikigaii Planners specialises in multicultural and destination weddings including Indian weddings (Hindu, Gujarati, Punjabi, South Indian, Marwari), Pakistani weddings, Bangladeshi weddings, South Asian weddings, Arabic weddings, Christian weddings, and fusion multicultural ceremonies. We are experienced in all customs, rituals, and traditions, ensuring every cultural element is honoured authentically.

Is Ikigaii Planners an award-winning wedding company?

Yes. Ikigaii Planners has been recognised with the International Wedding Awards 2026, reflecting our commitment to creativity, precision, and meaningful wedding experiences. We uphold international standards while delivering bespoke celebrations for couples across cultures.

Do you handle wedding permits and documentation in Dubai?

Yes. All weddings in Dubai require event permits from Dubai Tourism (DTCM). As experienced Dubai wedding planners, Ikigaii manages the full permits and licensing process on your behalf, including coordination with venue authorities and government bodies. We also assist international couples with visa guidance for their guests.

Can you plan an Indian wedding in Dubai?

Absolutely. We are among the top Indian wedding planners in Dubai, with deep expertise in multi-day Indian wedding formats including Mehendi, Haldi, Sangeet, Baraat, Mandap ceremonies, and grand receptions. We source all sacred ceremony materials locally, coordinate specialist pandits, and work with Indian caterers and entertainment to deliver an authentic celebration in Dubai.

How many weddings does Ikigaii plan at the same time?

Ikigaii Planners is a boutique wedding planning company. We consciously limit the number of weddings we take on at any given time to ensure full focus and maximum quality for each couple. We do not overlap weddings too closely, so our entire team is fully committed to your event from concept through to execution.
