Alexandra is an award winning floating restaurant operating in Dubai Marina since 2008.
We have extensive experience and expertise with managing Weddings onboard our restaurant, with a completely tailor made solution.
We will tailor make an event that works exactly for your group in all regards – from the timing, to the catering, to the live entertainment and the drinks.
the upper deck is a great space with great views and the feeling of being outdoor on a boat, while having the benefits of being comfortably seated in a restaurant environment.
the upper deck has its own buffet setup and own audio system that can be different from the lower deck.
the lower deck is climate controlled and its optimal during the warmer, or in fact the cooler months. It is air conditioned and has full height panoramic windows.
This deck is perfect for semi-private events with a tight budget for 25-45 people.

Yes you can, although we dont recommend this.
Many people are under the impression that catering = food, but besides the food, there is a lot involved
So if you plan to have your own catering, you will need to find a caterer that will be able to provide all of the above.
Yes, we can make a completely custom menu for your party.
If you go for a private function, there is no restriction on timings since you are paying per hour.
The prime time hours (8-11pm) are more expensive because they conflict with our daily dinner cruise.
For semi-private events, you will be joining our dinner cruise and so have to follow the timing of it:
We have a licensed bar onboard and drinks can be bought for an extra charge if you would like them. We can also work out an alcohol package for your event on request.
You can find us on google maps as ‘Alexandra Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina”
You can reach us by car, or the metro – this involves an approximately 20 minute walk.
Entertainment is also a tricky component since any live performance in Dubai requires a permit.
We can offer you 3 forms of entertainment
Any other entertainers will need to be discussed seperately and will cost more.
Planning your wedding in Dubai can be very overwhelming, as Dubai weddings have a reputation for being overtly grand and glamorous.
However, wedding trends are shifting towards smaller, cozier- still glamorous- events, especially for engagements or wedding after-parties.
A unique wedding venue in Dubai is a dhow cruise down the Dubai Marina. It’s a unique and intimate way of celebrating this wonderful occasion. Not to mention, a romantic one too.
Its very important to consider many factors when planning a wedding in Dubai
Picking the right wedding venue.
Picking the right menu
Picking the right entertainment
Picking the right decorations
A traditional Dhow Restaurant is one of the most innovative and unique wedding venues in the city, and given some decorations, careful planning & entertainment planning can result in a perfect wedding.
Picture dancing with your partner on the rooftop of the dhow, underneath the desert starlight, surrounded by the cosmopolitan city lights.
On this special occasion, any bride can agree that the ultimate purpose of the event is having her loved ones present and planning a memorable and enjoyable event. This lovely Dubai Marina cruise can be an unforgettable experience for the honorable couple and their guests.
Alexandra is a very unique and special venue for hosting a small and affordable wedding.

The most unique aspect of Alexandra Floating Restaurant as a wedding venue in Dubai is that it’s a boat that moves and thus the scenery is always changing.
Onboard Alexandra we try to avoid ‘set packages’ but rather we work out ways that make a custom made package for every event and every budget.
Every event requires a different menu and different entertainment, different timing, different duration, different decorations and different logistical requirements.
By tailor making every package we are able to make sure that the wedding is perfectly suited for the needs of the event.
We are able to create packages for more expensive weddings but we mainly specialize in small weddings in Dubai since our boat capacity by the standards of a wedding is rather small.
If the budget of a wedding is low, we are able to put together affordable wedding packages in Dubai.
