Weddings in the highlands
Wedding halls and services in Al-Baha
Al-Baha is a green mountain region in the lands of Ghamid and Zahran, known for forests such as Raghadan and stone villages perched on hills such as Dhee Ain. Its mild summer weather draws people from the region back from other cities, so the number of weddings rises in the holidays.
Halls are spread between Al-Baha city and nearby governorates such as Baljurashi and Al-Mandaq, and many families hold the wedding in the town they come from. With SaudiWedding you send one request with the occasion, services and governorate, and it reaches vendors working in the Al-Baha region.

Why are summer weddings so common in Al-Baha?
In summer many people from Al-Baha who live in Riyadh, Jeddah and Makkah return to their villages, families gather and occasions multiply. Halls and rest houses for the summer holidays are booked far in advance, and planners and photographers fix their dates early.
Winter is cold, especially in the evening. For a winter celebration, ask about heating in the hall or rest house.
