Qasr Noun is a restored 1895 estate in Ain Anub, in the Aley District of Mount Lebanon, high above Beirut. It opens for weddings, Katb Kteb and engagements in summer 2027, with eight places on one estate and the whole day yours until 1:30 AM. Pre-booking for 2027 dates is open now.
This page is the starting point. It covers the estate and the day, then points you to every guide we have written for couples planning a wedding in Lebanon: by place, by occasion and by planning question. Each guide is written to be useful even if you marry somewhere else.
A wedding venue in Lebanon with a documented past
Over one doorway on the estate, a stone lintel is carved “AD. 1895”, with the same year in Arabic numerals, ١٨٩٥, either side of a cross. It is the oldest date on the property.
In the autumn of 1907 Canon Joseph T. Parfit took over the neglected buildings and opened a school. By 1914, he wrote, there were “over 150 pupils”, and the half-ruined estate was “becoming one of the brightest spots in the Lebanon” (Parfit, 1917). The book is free to read, and every line of our history rests on it or on the stone itself.
A century later the same stones have been cleaned, repaired and lit for a third life. The finishing work is under way today, and the first weddings take place in summer 2027. Read the full history of the Ain Anub school.
One estate, eight places to celebrate
Many searches for wedding places in Lebanon lead to ballrooms and hotel wedding halls. Qasr Noun is a different kind of venue: a restored estate, not a new build. A wedding here moves through the estate as the evening goes on, from the arcade at golden hour to the tower lit for the last song. These are its eight places, named as you will hear them on a visit.
| Place | What it is for |
|---|---|
| The arcade | Five pointed arches behind your vows. |
| The 1895 door | An entrance with its year carved above it. |
| The fountain courtyard | Close and quiet, made for the Katb Kteb. |
| The lantern lane | The way in, lit by candle. |
| The balcony | The sun going down into the sea. |
| The olive terraces | A long table under old trees. |
| The tower | Lit until the last song. |
| The olive tree | Engagements in the afternoon light. |
Tell us your guest count with your date. At a visit we will show you how the evening would use these places for your number, so you can judge it with your own eyes.
The day is yours, until 1:30 AM
At Qasr Noun the whole day belongs to the couple, from the first setup to the last song at 1:30 AM, with no extra-hour charge. A Lebanese wedding night runs long: a zaffe to open it, dinner, then dancing late. Check the end time, and the price of every hour after it, in any other quote you hold.
In June and July the sun sets close to 19:50. One way the evening can run in those months:
- 18:30. Vows under the arcade, in the last hour of light.
- 19:30. Cocktails in the courtyard as the sun drops toward the sea.
- 20:30. Guests follow the lantern lane in.
- 21:00. Dinner beneath the arches.
- 22:30. The first dance.
- 01:30. The last song, with the tower still lit.
Move everything about half an hour earlier in August, and earlier again in September. Our guide to the best time to get married in Lebanon has ten years of weather and the sunset time for every month of the season.
What the wedding package includes
The full package covers the estate and the production: sound and lighting, dry ice and cold-spark volcanoes, chairs and tables, a 150 kVA generator, parking organised at the gate, and restrooms for guests. Food and beverage by our own team is optional: a full buffet with chefs on site, ten waiters and a captain, service cutlery, and a welcome drink for every guest.
Exact prices are quoted for your date and guest count; the full package sits in the lower half of Lebanon's published venue range (how pricing works). A 35% down payment confirms a date. The detail, and what you will still arrange with other suppliers, is in wedding packages: what is included.
