We met with a beautiful couple who choose this top venue for their big day!
Bassma & Omar’s story started when they fell in love at first sight at a Dubai desert family gathering barbeque party. Omar approached Bassma and they clicked right away.
He received her parents’ blessings then proposed & they stayed engaged for a year and finally they got married at the Lapita Hotel. They chose the Lapita Hotel due to its unique atmosphere –being a new hotel with its Polynesian theme. It was their perfect wedding venue location due to the bride being from Abu Dhabi and the groom from Dubai, so it worked great for both family & friends to meet in the middle.

Located within the Dubai Parks and Resorts. The hotels’ name descends from Pacific Ocean islanders, considered advanced in the ways of seamanship and navigation. The design too draws its inspiration from exotic Polynesian tropical landscapes, featuring Polynesian flowers, lagoon-style pools, themed activities and dining options.
This tropical themed hotel is part of the Autograph Collection Hotels, Marriott’s collection of unique and independent properties. That means couples & their guests can expect the service and convenience associated with a Marriott hotel, as well as points earned with the Marriott Rewards program. Truly providing you with a unique & exclusive venue for your wedding day.
Lapita, Dubai Parks and Resorts is dedicated to the spirit of the Polynesian islands. Through their one of a kind concept and excellent service, they are able to provide you with a wedding day you & your guest will never forget.
The bridal room, adjacent to their ballroom, will accommodate your whole bridal beauty party and family for her preparations. Thanks to the natural light and direct access to the terrace, this can be a unique place to take perfect pictures of the most important day of your lives.
