46 | May 2012 | woman this month Showcase Wedded Bliss GULF HOTEL The key to a successful wedding, other than picking the right groom, is almost certainly the venue. Make sure you pick the right place for your big day. It’s going to be the biggest day of your life. You’ve found the perfect partner, you’ve got the right makeup artist and hair stylist and you’ve even bought THE dress. If, like many women out there, you’ve been planning every detail in your head for as long as you can remember, then you won’t want your venue to let you down. The Gulf Hotel knows all about planning the perfect wedding. As one of Bahrain’s most prestigious venues, they have had years of experience in this particular art. From flowers, to place settings, chair décor to the right beverages, the Gulf Hotel is here to serve your every need. Whether you wish for your wedding to be the most glamorous, stand-out event of the year, or whether you would prefer something a little more relaxed and traditional, the Gulf Hotel can provide you with everything you need for a tailored, personalised setting. From purple up-lighting, to colour-co-ordinated chocolates; from five tiered wedding cakes to traditional Arabic teas, the Gulf Hotel can do it all. Ceremonies can be performed indoors, in one of the hotel’s two ballrooms — the Awal and the Gulf Convention Centre — or outside on their terrace, next to the lagoon-style pool. Wedding packages for the Awal Ballroom start at BD10++ per person on weekdays and BD11++ per person at the weekends. If you book in the hotter months, however, you might find yourself lucky enough to take part in their summer discount package, which sees rates starting at as little as BD9++ per person. If you’ve set your sights on the mighty Gulf Convention Centre, you’ll be looking at packages starting at BD13++ per person on weekdays and BD15++ per person on weekends, with rates starting at BD12++ during their summer package months. These packages contain a large number of amazing services. These include complimentary room rental for the bridal party on the day of the wedding; chilled juices upon arrival for all the guests, soft drinks throughout the meal and mineral water served all evening; tea and Arabic coffee; one deluxe suite or a one-bedroom apartment for the happy couple on the night of the wedding; dinner for the band members and a fruit basket, or heart shaped cake in the couple’s hotel room. So, if you want your wedding to be everything you dreamed of and much more, you’d be well advised to give the Gulf Hotel a ring and book up a slot before it’s too late!
