Reception Locations
Bluewaters Forum Ballroom
The Bluewaters Forum Ballroom offers Banyan Tree Dubai’s largest and most adaptable event setting, designed to accommodate larger-scale wedding celebrations while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding coastal environment. The space can host up to 350 guests for seated ceremonies and 500 guests for receptions, with a flexible layout that supports transitions between formal dining, stage setups and more social evening celebrations. Its scale and positioning within the resort make it particularly suited to multi-part wedding events that require both structure and versatility.
Connected to the main venue, the Garden Terrace introduces a softer outdoor setting framed by greenery and open air, accommodating up to 80 guests for seated dinners or 150 guests for cocktail-style receptions. Nearby, The Terrace provides a more intimate alternative for smaller gatherings, with capacity for up to 50 guests for ceremonies and 80 guests for receptions. Together, these spaces allow celebrations to unfold across different environments, from larger ballroom-style events to smaller outdoor gatherings and private beachfront ceremonies along Banyan Tree Beach for more intimate occasions.
Bluewaters Forum Garden Terrace
Positioned within the Bluewaters Forum precinct, the Garden Terrace offers a more intimate open-air setting for wedding celebrations, accommodating up to 80 guests for seated dinners and 150 guests for cocktail-style receptions. Framed by landscaped greenery and connected to the surrounding resort spaces, the terrace provides a softer contrast to the larger ballroom environment while maintaining flexibility for different event styles and layouts.
The space is particularly suited to smaller receptions, welcome dinners or sunset gatherings, where the atmosphere leans towards relaxed and social rather than highly formal. Its outdoor setting allows celebrations to remain connected to the coastal surroundings, while the proximity to the Bluewaters Forum supports a seamless flow between larger indoor events and more intimate terrace-based occasions.
Banyan Tree Beach
Set along Banyan Tree Dubai’s private beachfront on Bluewaters Island, Banyan Tree Beach offers an open-air setting with uninterrupted views across the Arabian Gulf and Ain Dubai in the distance. The resort is positioned on 500 metres of private shoreline, giving the beach a sense of space and separation while remaining close to the energy of Jumeirah Beach Residence and Dubai Marina.
The beach is particularly suited to intimate ceremonies, private proposals and smaller receptions, where the focus is on the openness of the sea, the soft shoreline and the changing light towards sunset. Celebrations can be arranged directly on the sand before moving into nearby resort spaces for dining or evening gatherings, allowing the day to flow naturally from a coastal ceremony into a more structured reception setting.
