WE PLAN YOUR DREAM DAY

so you don't have to think about everything, especially the one most people forget

One brief, one concept, one day. The same team from the first call to the last dance, so your only job on the day is to be there.

01

The Brief

Our signature Cover Page Wedding Brief plus a discovery call: learn, discover, choose your partner. One comprehensive brief, so we understand your day before we plan a minute of it. Photo and video get their own Shooting Brief, everything you say written down and kept on track, because nothing is worse than a talented photographer or videographer who says yes and does not make you feel heard.

Start your brief
02

The Concept

Built from your brief and personalised with the items you selected, until it becomes your world: venue, styling, production and timeline in one plan with a budget attached. Nothing generic, nothing you did not ask for.

Talk about your concept
03

The Day

A planner on site from first light to last dance, running the timeline so you and your families only have one job: enjoy it. The one thing most people forget to plan.

How much does a wedding planner cost in Dubai?

Industry-wide, full-service wedding planning in Dubai runs roughly AED 25,000 to 60,000, depending on guest count, venue and how much of the production you hand over. Cover Page gives a firm figure after a short brief call, tied to your date and scope.

Is it worth paying for a wedding planner?

For most couples, yes. A planner negotiates vendor rates that usually offset part of the fee, catches the deadlines and contracts you would otherwise chase yourself, and runs the day so your families are guests, not staff.

Is 3 months enough time to plan a wedding?

It can be, for a smaller wedding or a venue with in-house catering. For a full production at a popular Dubai venue, 6 to 12 months gives you first choice of date and vendors. Tell us your timeline and we will say plainly what is realistic.

What are common wedding planning mistakes?

Booking the venue before the guest list is firm, skipping a written contract with vendors, and leaving decor and entertainment to the final month. All three are avoidable with a working timeline from day one, which is what our countdown phase is for.

How fast do you respond after we enquire?

Within 24 hours, with next steps, not a form reply.

How big is the planning team?

From a single lead planner to a full production crew, sized to your event. Every wedding gets one dedicated planner as its point of contact throughout.

Do you plan other events too, like engagements or stag and hen parties?

Yes. Engagements, henna nights, stag and hen parties and family gatherings around the wedding are all part of what we plan, in Dubai or abroad.

Do you only plan weddings in Dubai, or elsewhere too?

Dubai and the wider UAE primarily. For couples marrying in Italy or France, Cover Page also has local teams already in place in Milano and Lyon.

How do we pay?

We use the safe and world-leading Stripe service, with a deposit to confirm your date and the balance staged against planning milestones.
