The world’s largest B2B platform for destination weddings, your beloved Destination Wedding Planners (DWP) Congress brings to you a limited-edition event like never before!

Carrying forward the legacy of the much loved Planner Xtraordinaire (PX) Show with its unforgettable successful editions in Dubai, Lake Como & Georgia, here’s presenting the debut of DWP Privé! This is where exclusivity meets luxury on another level, a truly high-end opportunity for the crème-de la-crème of the destination wedding and special celebrations industry.

For over a decade now the DWP Congress has set the standards for connecting some of the world’s topmost wedding professionals with each other and has provided the platform for excellence through connection and collaboration. But in 2025, with DWP Privé we bring to you an experience that exudes exclusivity! With only 100 planners and 50 suppliers from around the globe, DWP Privé provides an intimate setting for the wedding world to come closer and build long-lasting relationships in the lap of luxury in an exotic destination.

We welcome you to a new experience from 9th-11th April 2025 in Colombo, Sri Lanka at the Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams, the newest, exotic and most happening property from the prestigious Cinnamon brand. Experience relaxation by the Galle Beach and unmatched Sri Lankan hospitality that will awaken your senses.

As we enter the new decade of DWP, we are all set to add to our existing family with the Congress, the Insider blog and now with our brand-new event Privé! For all the patrons of the DWP Community, Privé is the PX Show rebranded, and an extension of the DWP Congress with a modern & exclusive twist! Just like the aura of the DWP Congress we promise that the DWP Privé will leave a lasting impression that you will cherish for a long, long time! With very limited seats available, this is something you would not want to miss! Come & witness unparalleled luxury and exclusivity at the DWP Privé 2025!

So in 2025, be prepared for a double bonanza with twice the fun, twice the celebrations, twice the business opportunities, and twice the magic – one with the all new DWP Privé in April and our evergreen flagship event the 11th Annual DWP Congress in Aqaba, Jordan in October!

What People Are Saying About DWP

DWP stands out for its unique style. It goes beyond the traditional congress setup, creating networking opportunities in diverse settings – from where we stay to where we dine. Experiencing events as guests enhances our perspective as planners. It's truly a 10 out of 10. The attention to detail and quality of service at DWP are unmatched.

Saint-Martin Tourism

It's an amazing experience because we love the mix of appointments in the agenda ensuring we have at least 12 meetings per day or for two days, followed by networking parties where we can enjoy and share different experiences. Thank you so much. The high quality of buyers is why I select DWP every year.

Chateau Dela Croix Des Gardes

The DWP Congress, every year in different destinations, brings a local flair as well as gathers great destination wedding planners from all over the globe, that was the main criteria for us to host the DWP last year. It’s a perfect platform to bring all the congregates within the wedding community let it be event suppliers, who drive this industry together. For us, to be part of this platform is to mainly meet and greet new planners and introduce the destination to them. For us the last few days has been great because we could meet new connections, build up on the previous ones that we already have, and I think this journey has to continue for years to come.

We hosted the 7th DWP Congress in Mitsis Alila in Rhodes, which was a fantastic experience for all of us. After 3 difficult years of COVID, we realized that the business is out there, lot of professional businesses are at a global scale. Connecting with many professional wedding planners and industry peers during and after the DWP congress showed us that requests are pouring in from countries all over the world, not just Europe. Regarding this year’s Congress, the nature, the people, and the uniqueness of the place, it’s out of this world and again the professionals of DWP created a very fantastic once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have enjoyed every single minute here.

This event was beyond the expected. The Hungarian Tourism Board had a great chance to reach out to the world's most amazing event and wedding planners, meanwhile being absolutely overwhelmed by the beauty of Zimbabwe.
