Four Seasons Hotel Amman Extends Wedding Expertise to Iconic Historical Sites

Four Seasons Hotel Amman, renowned for curating exceptional weddings in Jordan’s capital, is thrilled to announce the expansion of its services to iconic historical locations. Couples can now create their dream wedding amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Amman Citadel and the ancient Roman city of Jerash.

"Amman is the perfect location for destination weddings," says Nick Solomon, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Amman. "The city combines modern style and ancient landmarks, so it’s a very exciting place to bring together friends and family." Amman weddings are especially popular among couples from the GCC and India, who book their nuptials for the beautiful summer months from June to September.

"This year we set our goal to bring the most epic and exclusive weddings to incredible locations that have been sources of celebration for thousands of years," says Nick Solomon. "We selected 2 archaeological sites in close proximity to our hotel, making sure they’re convenient and comfortable for guests. The Citadel and Jerash are 2 of Amman’s most popular tourist attractions by day, and at night with Four Seasons, they can truly come alive as the most exclusive and romantic backdrops for weddings and special events."

Just a 20-minute drive from Four Seasons, right in the heart of downtown, the Amman Citadel is perched atop one of the city’s seven hills, providing breathtaking 360-degree views. One of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited archaeological sites, the site includes architectural remains dating back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Byzantine periods. In this romantic, culturally significant setting, Four Seasons can bring together all the details for a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail reception, and banquet dinner. Dramatic columns and rugged stone ruins provide magazine-worthy locations for wedding photographs.

Only an hour’s drive north of Four Seasons, Jerash is one of the world’s largest and best-preserved ancient Roman cities, with a history stretching back over 6,500 years. Hidden under sand for centuries, the city was only excavated in the past 70 years – accounting for the remarkably intact buildings. Wedding photo shoots can take place against beautiful colonnaded streets, ancient temples, and grand plazas. Ceremonies unfold at the massive open-air South Theatre, where the richly decorated stage features a backdrop of Corinthian columns – a truly inspiring place to share wedding vows forever and always.

"Four Seasons completely coordinates the planning process, which is particularly important for destination weddings,” says Heba Ahmad AbuSaad, Director of Catering. “We collaborate with the couple on the wedding theme and décor, then we create a complete Four Seasons experience, from most delicious food to warm attentive service. For international wedding parties, we frequently bring chefs from other Four Seasons properties to ensure we serve truly authentic cuisine. We handle everything from signature cocktails and mocktails to live cooking stations and amazing dessert tables, including the most spectacular wedding cakes."

As celebrations move from day to night, guests will be dazzled by dramatic lighting, displays of glowing candles, spectacular fireworks and incredible musical entertainment that will have the whole wedding party dancing the night away under a starlit sky.

Four Seasons Hotel Amman is a celebrated wedding destination in itself, with versatile venues that can fit within any itinerary. For example, it’s possible to host a ceremony at the Citadel, then a formal dinner back at the Four Seasons. The hotel includes Amman’s largest and most spectacular ballroom, opening outdoors onto an expansive terrace with lush gardens, a water feature and city views.

With a prime location in Amman atop the city’s highest hill, Four Seasons Amman provides the perfect home base for wedding guests, inviting them to relax in recently renovated guest rooms and suites. They can dine at the finest restaurants, swim in the outdoor pool and unwind at The Spa, then return to the wedding festivities feeling rested and rejuvenated. Visitors can also explore more of Jordan’s iconic experiences – from floating in the Dead Sea to touring the ancient sandstone city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, just 3.5 hours away. Four Seasons Amman transforms a wedding into an unforgettable occasion of historic proportions.
