Destination Wedding Planners Congress

For over 16 years, DWP Congress has been more than an event—it has been a journey of bringing the world together through the power of extraordinary celebrations.

From iconic palaces and legendary hotels to visionary planners, luxury brands, and tourism leaders, DWP has built a global community united by a shared passion for excellence. Along the way, we have forged lifelong relationships, inspired new possibilities, and helped shape some of the most remarkable chapters in the destination wedding industry.

Our legacy is not simply measured in years, destinations, or milestones, but in the connections created, the dreams realized, and the lasting impact left on an industry that continues to evolve and inspire.

Welcome to the story of DWP—a legacy of luxury, relationships, and unforgettable moments that continue to define the future of destination weddings.

Hear it from the Global Leaders about their DWP Congress Experience.

 
It’s amazing. It’s like every year is like a new discovery, and it’s a new adventure.

It’s amazing to actually meet other cultures and new colleagues and discover
new countries. And every year I am looking forward to the next one.

Gratifying! 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!

DWP is really known for its hospitality and creativity.

I really enjoyed the B2B sessions because that’s when you can really create real business talk. We met a lot of great partners and a lot of potential partners as well. Looking forward to collaborating more in the near future.

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.

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.

Ghada Blanco

The experience has been amazing. I think as I go, it keeps improving which I think is fantastic. This is a wonderful conference for getting people together.

In Macao, the property was incredible. The service of the property was amazing. I thought it was a good experience for me.

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.
