Wedding and event planners need a trade licence from the emirate's economic department with an event management or organising activity. Public or ticketed events may also need permits from the emirate's tourism, events or police authorities, while private events at a licensed venue usually follow the venue's own approvals.

What a planner does

A planner turns your budget into a plan: venue, catering, decor, entertainment, photography and the timeline on the day. Ask whether the fee is a fixed amount or a percentage, and whether the planner earns commission from suppliers. Ask to see a sample budget and timeline from a past event.

What it costs in 2026

  • Full wedding planning: AED 15,000 to 60,000, or 10 to 15 percent of the budget
  • Day-of coordination: AED 5,000 to 15,000
  • Children's party, planned and styled: AED 3,000 to 15,000
  • Corporate event planning: often quoted per project

These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.

Before you pay

Get a written contract listing what the planner does and does not handle, the payment schedule, the cancellation terms and who pays for permits. Ask for supplier contracts and invoices to be in your name or shared with you.

Check the badge first, then read the reviews and the response rate. Ask for a written quote that names the company on the licence, and pay only to an account in that company's name.
