Planning a 50-guest Indian wedding in Dubai
A 50-guest Indian wedding in Dubai is its own scale. Venue capacity, catering ratios, restroom counts and photography staffing all shift. Here is the honest playbook.
Venue sizing
For 50 guests in Dubai, book venues with 57+ seated capacity to leave space for buffet flow, dance floor, and the inevitable extra 10%.
Vendor staffing
Catering: 1 server per 20 guests. Photography: lead + one second. Bar: 1 bartender per 75 guests.
Frequently asked
