Have an 'over-the-top' wedding in Dubai, from Dh200,000

Dubai: Looking to impress your bride with an over-the-top wedding? Perhaps there's no better way or place to do it than on top of the majestic Burj Al Arab, the world's most luxurious hotel.

That's taking romance to new heights. The "weddings in the sky" package allows a couple with a penchant for elegance to exchange vows at 212 metres above the azure Arabian Gulf on the famous Burj Al Arab helipad.

For a price tag of Dh200,000, you could arrive in a chopper or Rolls Royce Phantom, have a menu prepared by an award-winning chef as well as private sessions with celebrity personal trainers as well as etiquette and dance lessons, among others.

The Burj Al Arab helipad has a history of hosting unique activities.

In 2004, Tiger Woods teed off the helipad and the following year Roger Federer and Andre Agassi challenged each other to a game of tennis there.

In 2011, Rory McIlroy performed a hole-in-one from the helipad pad and last year Formula One Champion David Coulthard performed donuts in a Red Bull Racing car.

Burj Al Arab General Manager, Heinrich Morio, says: “We’re always looking for new and special ways to delight and enchant our guests.  We believe a once-in-a-lifetime event deserves a one-of-a-kind venue and are thrilled to add this special location to our ultimate experience collection.”

According to the hotel, each ceremony can be customised by a "wedding architect" who is responsible for every detail and available 24/7.

The experience has a starting price of Dh200,000 (approximately $55,000) and can include:
