Wedding halls can be found all over Jeddah in every neighborhood. Many are quite elegant - fancy schmancy. Because of strict gender segregation customs in the past, weddings are usually separate events for men and women. Slowly some families are opting for mixed weddings, but it's still not the norm.
Many times the bride's event is held on a different date and different venue than the groom's event. On occasion, they might be held on the same night at the same location at a wedding hall that offers separated entrances and separated ballrooms, as seen in the photo below.

Interesting customs and traditions. Thank you for sharing.
At least some of the details would be not that different from banquet halls here.
Thank you for posting your photos of Jeddah, and giving information of what life is like there. That kind of down to earth information from a resident is hard to come by.....from anywhere, not just where you are. So thanks.
Unvorstellbar so ein Hochzeitsfest bei uns. Andere Länder andere Sitten, daran nehme ich gerne teil.
