DWP Privé, the limited edition of the globally celebrated Destination Wedding Planners (DWP) Congress by QnA International, concluded its Sri Lankan chapter in style. Hosted at the iconic Cinnamon Life – City of Dreams in Colombo, the three-day event celebrated the best in luxury wedding planning, design, and hospitality with meaningful conversations, vibrant cultural exchanges, and future-shaping collaborations.
This edition brought together top wedding professionals and hospitality leaders from across the globe, all under one roof, to explore new dimensions in storytelling, event design, sustainability, and partnership-building.
Representing the host hotel partner, Sanjiv Hulugalle, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Cinnamon Life, shared a bold vision of positioning Colombo as a global luxury wedding destination. He emphasized how storytelling, innovation, and partnerships will play a central role in shaping this narrative. Lisa Mendis, Director of Events at Cinnamon Life, reflected on the impact: "As hosts, it’s been phenomenal. The exposure has put us on the international map and opened doors for more collaborations."
From the opening cocktail night to inspiring keynote sessions and creative masterclasses, DWP Privé combined business with experience. Global event designer Preston Bailey captured the essence of luxury design saying, "Don’t copy—create your own story. Uniqueness is everything in the luxury space." Meanwhile, India’s Sumant Jayakrishnan reminded young designers that design begins with storytelling, not spectacle.
The event featured insightful sessions from celebrated names such as Funke Bucknor-Obruthe, Aarti Manocha, and Nadia Duran, with a standout performance by mentalist Juliet Arndt, reinforcing the importance of positive thinking and manifestation.
Day 3 brought powerful regional voices to the forefront, including Elizabeth Solaru, Aime Bone, Mahesh Shirodkar, and Rhiannon Downie-Hurst, among others. Devika Narain led a critical conversation on sustainability in weddings, urging the industry to adopt conscious practices without compromising creativity.
The edition left a lasting impression on global attendees. Digvijay Singh of Alila Fort Bishangarh noted that discussions were already leading to business closures, while Pervez Taufiq from the USA praised the opportunity to form intimate collaborations. Guadalupe Alvarez from Mexico loved the new format, calling it “insane” in the best way.
Sidh NC, Director at QnA International, summed it up perfectly: “There’s nothing quite like DWP Privé. It’s intimate yet global, insightful yet warm. This edition in Sri Lanka reminded us why we do what we do.”
As the curtains fall on the Colombo chapter, the DWP legacy continues to grow—with the next stop already announced in Jordan.

In a landmark moment of cultural diplomacy, Rambagh Palace, Jaipur’s crown jewel, Rambagh Palace will host US Vice President James David Vance, his family, and a 20-member White House delegation on April 23. The high-profile visit is being celebrated with a grand dinner in collaboration with IRIS Jaipur, renowned for its handcrafted, gold-plated metalware. Following its acclaimed showcase at the G20 Summit, IRIS Jaipur once again has the honour of serving foreign dignitaries.
The dinner will be held in the palace’s opulent 18th-century ballroom, Suvarna Mahal. A custom-designed collection of gold-plated dinner sets, tableware, cutlery, serve ware and trolley crafted by IRIS Jaipur, will headline the banquet, reflecting a seamless blend of traditional Rajasthani artistry and modern luxury.
Each guest will receive a golden napkin ring as a keepsake, engraved with their names on one side and Rambagh Palace Jaipur on the other side. The culinary showcase, presented on bespoke dinner sets, snack stands, hollowware, and barware, will highlight India’s gastronomic heritage with dishes prepared by Rambagh’s top chefs.
A red-carpet walkway flanked by mirror-polished golden pipes crafted by IRIS’s metal artisans, creates a shimmering prelude, setting the tone for the regal evening. Antique brass welcome trolleys, lotus design trays with bowls, and garland stands will enhance the arrival experience with rich visual storytelling rooted in Jaipur’s artisanal traditions.
Jaipur's IRIS artisans bring diplomatic hospitality to life at Rambagh Palace, showcasing the city's rich cultural heritage while adding a personal touch to the grandeur of the U.S. Vice President’s visit.
IRIS’s relationship with Rambagh spans decades, with its creations gracing the palace’s grandest suites and dining halls. This latest showcase, co-led by Ashok Rathore, General Manager of Rambagh Palace, and Rajeev Pabuwal, continues a legacy of reviving traditional craftsmanship for discerning global audiences.
As diplomacy unfolds over dinner, Jaipur stands tall not just as a cultural capital but as a beacon of craft-led global engagement.
