The corona pandemic need not pay spoilsport when it comes to organising your dream wedding. And the dreamcatchers of the most wonderful weddings in Dubai – Team Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Deira Creek – who have been organising weddings in the UAE for the last 45 years share all about planning a socially distanced wedding but still making it a fairy tale affair!
The new normal may be redefining lives, but it need not dampen your plans of having that fairy tale wedding that you’ve always dreamt of! And making this dream come true is Bandhan Weddings, a concept developed by the Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Deira Creek team, for every couple who wishes to celebrate their special day in a special way. Given the current circumstances and the ‘new normal’, and with the rise of smaller and more intimate weddings, the team has quickly adapted this concept towards providing a safe, well-budgeted, and yet a beautifully-orchestrated wedding.
Jan Hanak, General Manager of the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek says, “Even under new and different circumstances, marriage remains a beautiful cause to celebrate, and we need celebrations more than ever now. We are here to help couples realize their dream wedding, no matter the size or budget. We want the community to celebrate social occasions in an environment where precautionary measures are strictly implemented, but without them thinking that their event is far less memorable because of the pandemic.”
The team explains all that the Bandhan Weddings entail for the wonderful couples.
The New Normal: Healthy and Safe Wedding Celebrations
A worry-free, and safe event – this is now the main priority of every couple looking for the right wedding partner, and the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek provides just that. Most importantly, the hotel adheres to comprehensive health and safety procedures following all local laws and legislation in Dubai. It has received the official ‘Dubai Assured’ stamp and SGS certification from the world’s leading inspection, verification, and testing company.
Moreover, the award-winning events and catering team, led by Chef Uwe Micheel, Director of Kitchens and President of the Emirates Culinary Guild (who has recently been appointed by Dubai Municipality as the brand ambassador of its new ‘Basic Food Safety Training Program’) has established its credibility for organizing high-profile events for the last 45 years.
In fact, the weddings they are used to hosting, particularly traditional Indian weddings, are quite extravagant and big in terms of numbers. The guests range from a minimum of 700 to 1,000 people, and lasts for three days; but with the latest government mandate, weddings are now restricted to hosting a maximum of 200 people per hall.
Some of the precautions being implemented by the team include the following:
– Full sterilisation is conducted before and after the wedding.
– Temperature checks at every entrance point of the hotel.
– From a setup of 10 people per table to a maximum number of 5 people per table with a two-meter distance between each table.
– Sanitisers to be provisioned on each table.
– For buffets, there is a minimum social distancing guideline of two meters for guests queuing, and the food is served only by the hotel’s waiting staff.
– All events crew including the food servers, wedding organizers, security, entertainers, stage speakers, and artists on site are using safety masks throughout the event.
A few other guidelines from the government that the hotel strictly follows are:
– No dance floor permitted.
– Individuals to refrain from all greeting customs that involve physical proximity, and must not approach the groom/bride or performers who are on stage.
– Performers and artists can remove the mask during performances only if they can maintain at least four-meter physical distancing measure with the audience. They must follow the guidelines mentioned in the staff protocols for Entertainers / Performers / Artists / Stage Speakers and Crew.
– Photography shall be executed while maintain social distancing rules.
