    About DWP Congress

    The dawn of the pandemic was nothing less than a rollercoaster for the destination wedding industry. A business that was recession and inflation proof, for a brief period came to a standstill. With challenges, hurdles and unprecedented circumstances standing as roadblocks, the wedding fraternity was tested in every possible way.

    But what stood out? The spirit, the love, the resilience, the positivity, the willingness to stand with each other and help one another! Wedding planners and suppliers from across the globe testified once again that this industry thrives on emotions, love and trust, and patrons from across the globe witnessed this impeccable spirit in the past few months because we were all #InItTogether!

    We cannot wait to see all your lovely faces and say “Om Swastiastu” amidst the beautiful Balinese backdrop!

    From 27th – 29th September 2022 it’s time to leave behind all your worries and concerns and join us for three days where it is going to be all about celebrating YOU – your success, your determination, your stories and your passion for the ever fascinating and exciting world of destination weddings!

    Rave Reviews

    Here is the GLORIOUS FEEDBACK from some of our attendees.

    “Great event to gather all weddings and event organizing specialists to connect with worldwide buyers, suppliers and venues at one time and sharing knowledge and experiences.”

    Bulgari Resort Bali Indonesia

    The high level of registrants and the networking at this level, I don’t think there is any other global Congress that offers this kind of opportunity. The background of the people are so varied it is great! I have really enjoyed every aspect.

    Bahamas Ministry of Tourism Bahamas

    This is our 4th year at DWP and it just keeps getting better. UAE in general is an amazing destination because it has it all – deserts, beaches and everything, and Dubai specifically is an awesome destination for any event. For us as hoteliers, DWP is a starting point to build relationships & connections. You make everyone special

    Zaya Nurai Island United Arab Emirates

    The experience has been amazing. I think as I go, it keeps improving which I think is fantastic, and the speakers that you have are quite phenomenal. Even Dubai as a destination is great and it has a lot to offer and I feel a lot of people feel the same way.

    Preston Bailey Preston Bailey Entertainment, USA

    This year it feels big, it feels huge! Loving the glitz and the glam but even though you guys have gotten bigger this year, it still feels personal. 1 word- Love, love for what we all do. We’re all doing the same thing and the love is oozing out and we’re so passionate for what we do. So over here, past two days what I felt is love.

    Innayat Khubchandani Inaaz Communique, Indonesia

    Thank you for having me back at DWP and I am glad this year it happened in Dubai because for this year we are focusing on Dubai and UAE as a region and it was nice that DWP came home! Everyone who is here is filtered very well and they are here for two purposes – to do business and have fun! DWP for me also is about meeting new people, exploring new arenas, finding out what everybody in the industry is doing, exchange of ideas and learn from the young!

    Vandana Mohan The Wedding Design Company, India

      It has been very enlightening for me. I found it very
      insightful because I made a lot of connections with
      wedding planners that I would have never met probably
      unless they came to the property.
