A Wedding Built From Scratch in Beirut & Felt Like a Historic Grand Opera!

February 15 . 2026

Before we get into the details, know this: this was never meant to be a typical wedding.

 

Set in Beirut, a city known for bold taste and artistic expression.

This celebration was designed as a full theatrical production inspired by opera. And here’s the part that changes everything: The venue started completely empty.

In just three weeks, the entire space was built from scratch for one night only. No pre-existing ballroom. No decorative upgrades. A total transformation. From layout to lighting, from balconies to staircases, they created an entire universe.

Now step inside.

The world flips. The first impression of the guests was the stunning welcome area.  Crimson velvet swallows the walls. Statues tower over you. Red candles flicker across endless banquet tables like firelight alive. Golden chandeliers burn above, mirrored surfaces catching every movement, every glance. Balconies wrapped in deep red fabric circle the room like an opera house built for obsession. 

Velvet didn’t just cover walls,they became walls. Balconies weren’t added,they were constructed. Staircases weren’t draped,they were installed. Statues weren’t placed,they were raised. Chandeliers didn’t hang, they were unleashed. This isn’t decoration. This is architecture.

Every table is a command, every setting a provocation. Burgundy linens, gold-rimmed chargers and elegant letters placed on each table. Even the napkin is intentional. 

The night opened with a live opera singer, immediately setting the tone. Violin and piano performances followed, grounding the entire atmosphere in classical drama. 

Before the bride appeared, a full 3D mapping show transformed the space. Walls came alive. Guests were stunned. It wasn’t an introduction, it was an overture.

And then… she appeared.

The room held its breath. The bride emerged like a queen claiming her stage, radiant in a custom Zuhair Murad gown that shimmered in the candlelight. A sweeping veil followed her every step, and Bvlgari jewels glinted softly.
Eyes followed as Michel Fadel’s haunting melody rose around her, wrapping the moment in quiet intensity. She wasn’t entering a room; she was claiming a kingdom.

Her second look shifted the energy. A crystal-covered, figure-hugging dress with a high slit and fluid draping. Bolder. Modern. Confidence. Two looks. Two statements.

The wedding cake stood like a monument. Towering ivory tiers under chandelier light, finished with a dramatic cascade of deep burgundy florals. It didn’t blend into the décor, it dominated it.

Two unforgettable performances lit up the night. Building on Wael Kfoury’s legendary set, Nader Al Atat took the stage and brought everyone, including the couple into a joyful sing-along that echoed through the room.

Then the theatre transformed into an After-party. Lights shifted, customized lasers swept across the space, and the refined elegance of the evening gave way to pure celebration. The stage turned into a dance floor, and the entire room came alive with energy.
