Yes — Lumina Celebrations is a registered company (Trade License No. 89086, licensed by the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority), and every marriage service we arrange follows official UAE procedures from start to finish.

Yes. Your documents and personal details are used only to process your marriage and are never shared beyond the official authorities required for registration.
Yes — civil marriage in Ras Al Khaimah is open to non-residents from most countries. Abu Dhabi civil marriage has its own eligibility rules, which we confirm with you individually.
Typically valid passports, entry visas, and — depending on your situation — proof that you're free to marry. We give you an exact checklist after our first conversation.
It depends on the tier and location — Essentials uses standard court booking windows (typically 2–3 months), while Signature and Concierge tiers offer express processing in as little as 24–48 hours.
A UAE civil marriage certificate, once attested by MOFA (and legalised by your embassy if required), is recognised internationally in the large majority of countries. We handle this attestation as part of our Signature and Concierge tiers.
An Islamic Nikah arranged through Dubai's Islamic Affairs authority is legally recognised in the UAE. If you also need international legal recognition, we can add MOFA attestation.
Requirements depend on each partner's background — we talk this through with you privately before booking, and coordinate any required documentation with the relevant authority.
Yes — once legalised, it's recognised across the GCC and in many other countries. We'll confirm recognition for your specific country before you book.
No — many couples hold a symbolic ceremony before, after, or entirely separate from their legal registration. We design the event around whatever stage you're at.
Both bundle your legal marriage with hotel, transfers and concierge touches — exact inclusions are listed under each package, and can be customised further.
For express tiers, a few days is often enough. For full ceremonies or destination concierge packages, we recommend 4–8 weeks for the best venue and vendor availability.
Send us your situation and we'll reply personally with the right next step — no obligation.
