Who it's for
This service is for hosts who want a private occasion done well:
- Families hosting dinners at home for friends, relatives or business guests
- Couples marking anniversaries, birthdays and milestones
- Residents who entertain often and want a reliable team behind them
- Visitors to Dubai who want a private dinner arranged in a villa or on the water
My background is eight years in luxury hospitality, including Bulgari Hotel Dubai, and I have organised private events for a UHNW household in Dubai. I know what good service looks like on the night.
What's included
- Planning the evening: guest numbers, format, timing and budget
- Private chef sourcing, menu planning and tastings
- Florists, tablescape and décor
- Tableware, glassware and furniture hire
- Waiting staff, bartenders and hosts for the evening
- Music and entertainment
- Wine and drinks planning
- Invitations and guest RSVP tracking

What's not included
To be clear about scope: I don't cater or supply alcohol myself. Chefs, caterers and licensed suppliers do that, and I coordinate them. Large public or corporate events are outside my focus. Third-party costs (chefs, florists, staff, hire) are billed at cost, with receipts and no mark-up.

Frequently asked questions
What does a private event planner in Dubai do?
A private event planner organises everything for an occasion: chef, menu, flowers, table, staff, entertainment and timings, and coordinates it all on the night.
Can you arrange a private dinner at home?
Yes, this is the heart of the service. I arrange a private chef, table setting, staff and everything else needed for a dinner in your villa or apartment.
How far in advance should I get in touch?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most dinners. Shorter notice is often possible, depending on supplier availability.
Are you present on the night?
Yes. I coordinate suppliers and staff on the night so the evening runs to plan.
Is the event kept private?
Yes. Guest lists and details are shared only with suppliers who need them, and an NDA is available on request.
