DWP Congress | Fairmont Udaipur Palace, India
The Royal Rendezvous of Love, Luxury & Destinations
A MAJESTIC GATHERING OF THE WORLD’S WEDDING ELITE
The world’s most exclusive B2B platform for destination weddings and luxury celebrations has taken its route to the royal Rajput heritage.
This October, DWP Congress has made its most anticipated move to bring together the architects of love and destination celebrations, at the extraordinary Fairmont Udaipur Palace.
For five hundred years, Udaipur has known how to celebrate and now it convenes with 350 of the world’s foremost luxury destination wedding planners, creative suppliers, and visionaries to connect, collaborate, celebrate and do business.
DWP Congress in its 12th year with 16 global editions, continues to unite the most influential names in destination weddings and luxury celebrations across more than 75 countries. With a landmark success of DWP Congress Macao in April this year, we are arriving in the City of Lakes for our most poetic chapter yet. Udaipur is a living poem of palaces, still waters, and timeless romance. The world’s most timeless and regal wedding destination is your next royal residence.
The upcoming 17th edition will be hosted in Udaipur at the magnificent Fairmont Udaipur Palace, our Host Hotel Partner. An Ethereal Destination for Modern Day Royalty; a realm where majestic design, immersive rituals, the romance of the hills and rejuvenation of the senses come together across a sprawling 18-acre estate.
With over 1,40,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor spaces for events of grandeur. From Jewel, one of India’s largest ballrooms, to the ceremonial gardens of Jashn Bagh and dramatic venues like Chand Baori, the palace transforms every gathering into a celebration of memories and magnificence. India offers a combination of scale, cultural diversity, and operational expertise, making it a key market for destination weddings today.
DWP Congress October in Fairmont Udaipur Palace provides a platform to engage with India’s wedding ecosystem while connecting with global industry’s creative planning stakeholders.
Through structured meetings and curated interactions, the Congress facilitates connections that lead to relevant and lasting partnerships.
Join us in India this October for an Experience like no other!

I'm truly honoured to be a part of this year's DWP Congress and thrilled to attend once again. It's one of the highlights of my career. DWP has truly become a melting pot of the world's amazing event stylists and designers.

I have done about 8 or 9 DWPs and for me it’s a really proud moment that we have come a long way from where we started in Athens and now we are in Aqaba, its been wonderful, experiential, innovative, elevated and progress because with each DWP we learn something new
Vandana Mohan

There’s nothing like the energy of DWP - the innovation, the relationships, and the unfiltered brilliance of creatives from around the world.

I will always be a supporter for DWP! They are very professional. They do bring in excellent speakers and the people they bring to the conferences are the best people! DWP Aqaba Jordan for those who missed it - its really a pity! The location is amazing, the heritage, the architecture, the space is out of this world and the hotel is amazing! DWP did an excellent job in picking Aqaba as a destination.

It was a well-organised and wonderful event! Great experience, great people, educative and fun.
Adeola Okeshola
One of the top wedding planner from Nigeria
Thank you to everyone at DWP, you've made me feel wonderful. The organisation before we arrived was spectacular. I very much enjoyed meeting lots and lots of people from around the world, from the Maldives to Zimbabwe, to Canada to Croatia, and it's so nice now, when I do a job in Croatia, I've got a friend, or in Zimbabwe, I have got a friend. So that's what DWP has done, is brought us all together-and I am very grateful that. DWP is all about collaborating and meeting great people.
