are you specifically looking for an outdoor property? if not then you can also consider Movenpick Oud Metha Dubai where I can get you the whole ballroom for the exact same rate... alternatively if you are ok with upping your budget to 190/200 per head then you can also consider outdoor venues at places like Desert Palm Per Aquum or the Ranches PoloClub all in Dubai... advantage is that at these places you can actually bring in the alcohol from other sources (such as Baracuda, etc.)...

The Hyatts here have really good rates and We had our wedding at the Ritz Carlton JBR end of November and paid for all food and drink and was a lot more reasonable than you would think!

I've attended one as a guest and it was quite a fiasco... the food and general service was not up to the mark of a five star property the couple had chosen an outdoor garden wedding overlooking the beach... it was in December (but latter half) and the weather was quite cold and windy... the hotel had to provide outdoor heaters but those were very unstable due to the winds and they had to eventually remove them as it was hazardous... then the sprinklers went off at some pre-scheduled time drenching the wedding band's equipment putting a halt to the music! accidents and poor weather conditions are always a risk (more so with an outdoor event) but as a wedding planner I can safely say that the key to resolving issues is in the level of responsiveness of the venue which that particular hotel did not really rise to on that occasion... maybe things have changed now... but i can't specifically comment on that as the wedding i attended there was a couple of years back.
