Published on April 24, 2025

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.
