www.womanthismonth.com 71 April 2013 | Summer Love SHERATON HOTEL BAHRAIN Balmy nights are fast approaching and many brides are putting the finishing touches to their wedding plans. Almost always you are guaranteed great weather — almost. As tempting as it might be to hold an outdoor wedding, summer can be a tricky time like any other. Unexpected dust storms, unpredictable heat waves and a swarm of insects is all it takes to turn your perfectly planned night into a disaster. Sheraton Hotel Bahrain understands that as exciting as surprises may be, they’re the last thing you need on your big day. The five-star venue gives you reason to host the party in a cosy and secure setting. Host a reception at either of their two grand ballrooms before the end of September to make the most of their special summer wedding package. The perfect setting The bigger of the two halls, Al Taj can accommodate over 400 persons. The impressive setting with a myriad of crystal chandeliers allows countless setups for the creative couple. If you are hoping to have the wedding of your dreams, this space is ideal as you can transform it into anything that you’ve envisioned all of your life. An added bonus is that dividers allow you to expand or decrease the area based on your needs. The provision also accommodates separate gatherings within the same space with individual doorways for each party. Awali ballroom, on the other hand, symbolises elegance and charm. The old world set-up provides a sense of mystery, perfect for those looking for a magical wedding. This space works best for those who are aiming for a more personal affair as it has a maximum capacity of 200 persons. The mesmerising interiors are made up of Italian terracotta-tiled floors and traditional Arabian décor pieces. In a neutral colour palette, Awali boasts palatial arches engraved with fine mosaic, carved mahogany wood panelling and a twin tent roof enhanced by stunning wrought iron chandeliers. What makes this venue the right choice is a second doorway, much like the secret passages of castles. Guests are not necessarily fond of walking through hotel lobbies to get to the function. You can erase this worry with the entryway to the ballroom from Modal Mall. Sheraton Hotel Bahrain knows that sometimes all you need is an intimate gathering to celebrate your bond with your near and dear. This ballroom offers just that. The Oriental appeal of this venue is unparalleled. The buffet can be accommodated within the venue; however, it would be wise to make use of the outer foyers of both ballrooms for the food. Not only does this offer more freedom for guests, but it avoids cramming up everything within the same space. Something special The summer wedding package offers a reduced price of BD12++ per person for a minimum of 200 guests, as well as eight uniformed female servers for a flawless dining experience. They’ve boxed up a night’s stay at their suite, inclusive of a fruit basket and honeymoon special breakfast within the room, and a lunch buffet voucher for two at Al Safir restaurant. From the wedding cake to the dance floor and flower arrangements to beverages, they’ve got it all covered. You can create your own menu by choosing five appetisers, five main courses and four desserts from their extensive selection. Call 17 533-533 or visit www.sheratonbahrain.com
