I don't think you'll get an arranged marriage. That depends on where you are, it's more of a cultural thing, not religious. Well, from what I know (since I live in a Muslim-dominated country, although I do not adhere to that religion) the number of wives depend on whether you get permission or not from your first wife.
Why would you convert to Islam if your main intention is marrying several wives?

I'm sure that you could get an arranged marriage if your conversion is sincere. No family will want to give their precious daughter to someone who hasn't demonstrated a commitment to his chosen faith.
As for the number of wives, that depends where you live. Legally some countries will not allow you to have more than one wife. This affects the woman's status, social security and pension rights, so you need to check it out before taking on the responsibility of marriage.

If the only reason you want to convert is so that you have more than 1 wife, just stay whatever religion you are now. Being Islam is not about how any wives you can get. It appears your reason for converting are not pure, only sexual.

lol wat!? you cant just decide one day you want to change religions just to get more wives. and about the marriage question. im not sure if you know what an arranged marriage is, cuz you dont get to really pick your wife in an arrange marriage..its well...arranged hehe. and i think its like 4 wives you can have if your a REAL Muslim. and you have to treat them ALL the SAME. i dont know if you have the money or time for that, or if you would want all that nagging and stress from 4 women. psh guys complain about having one wife...good luck wit 4.

Dear Brother!
First of all, why do you want to convert to Islam?
is it because it allowes you to marry 4 or is it the lust for women?
Islam means peace and submission to the will of God completely.
and God says in the Quran (translation in my own words)
marry 2, 3, 4 of your choice but if you cannot do justice to them then marry only one.
I suggest that if you want to convert to islam for this reason then its not required.
if you are a Christian or a Jew then you do not have any ristriction you can marry 10 or more.
The ristriction was introduced recently by the popes and rabies, may be about 50 to 60 years back.
if you are a hindu also there is no limit.
some Hindu gods and prechers had more then 100 wives

It's unlikely that you would have one arranged for you, as this only happens between families.
You can only have one wife.
On the other hand, if you convert to Mormonism, people will try to marry you off - arranged if you like, but, you guessed it, you can still only have the one wife!
I'm Mormon, and I've only the one - mind you, if you ever met my mother-in-law, you would understand why I don't want another wife!

you can get up to 4 wives, but good luck.. most of the guys dont do it cuz it causes lots of pb between wives... good luck
Dont trust the guy who say that Mormons get many wives... He's a complete ignorant / a perfect uneducated person... Mormons were praticing polygamy a long time ago...very long time ago.

You are obviously very ignorant about the Islamic religion and its requirements, as can be seen by your dumb post.
Pity the family who would enter into a marriage contract with you!!!!
