It was a momentous occasion for Vivaah Celebrations as CEO Rahul Kumar and COO Maggi Kewlani embarked on an unforgettable journey to the Destination Wedding Planners Congress (DWP) at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. This year marked a special milestone for DWP as it celebrated a decade of uniting the destination wedding industry, and what better way to commemorate this milestone than by convening in the heart of Africa, amidst the majestic Victoria Falls.
The anticipation was palpable as friends and colleagues from the wedding industry around the world gathered for this extraordinary event. Against the backdrop of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring wonders, the stage was set for a truly remarkable experience that transcended borders and cultures.
From the moment of arrival, the enchantment of Victoria Falls captivated everyone in attendance. The warmth of the DWP team, along with the impeccable hospitality of the RSVP planning team, set the tone for an unforgettable journey ahead.
The festivities kicked off with the Welcome to Africa Welcome Party, where attendees embarked on a mesmerizing tour of the Victoria Falls Rainforest. Amidst the misty rainbows and lush rainforests, old friendships were rekindled, and new connections were forged. The evening continued at the Lookout Cafe, where African culture and hospitality converged, treating guests to an array of culinary delights and free-flowing drinks.
As the sun rose on the horizon, the conference commenced in earnest, offering a full day of networking, insightful conferences, and fruitful B2B meetings. The highlight of the event came during the Garden of Eden Gala Dinner, where Vivaah Celebrations’ Director Rahul Kumar was honored among the top wedding planners of 2024, a moment of immense pride for the entire team.
But the celebrations didn’t end there. The night came alive with music and laughter as attendees danced the night away, forging lasting memories amidst the backdrop of Victoria Falls.
The following day brought with it new opportunities for learning and collaboration, as attendees reconvened for the final sessions of the conference. As the sun dipped below the horizon, guests embarked on a breathtaking sunset cruise along the Zambezi River, culminating in a closing party amidst the wild beauty of Africa.
Amidst the splendor of Victoria Falls, Vivaah Celebrations had the pleasure of reconnecting with dear friends from across the globe. From Bhavnesh Sawhney of FB Celebrations India to Eddie Zaratsian from the US, and Kevin Lee, among many others, familiar faces lit up the gathering, adding an extra layer of warmth and camaraderie to the proceedings. These cherished reunions underscored the truly global nature of the destination wedding industry, where bonds are formed and friendships flourish across continents.
As the curtains closed on this unforgettable chapter, Vivaah Celebrations expressed heartfelt gratitude to the DWP team for their exceptional hospitality and for curating an experience that will be cherished for years to come. With anticipation building for the next edition, Vivaah Celebrations eagerly looks forward to the next chapter in this remarkable journey.
