“This congress will put planners face-to-face with the venue managers with whom they may be working someday.  This type of forum creates a wonderful transparency and it will be immediately evident the professionals with whom we’ll be comfortable working and which ones may be hiding only behind a well-constructed website or PR campaign.”   – Added the internationally renowned wedding planner David Beahm, known for the likes of the Catherine Zeta Jones wedding and is also the guest decorator for the White House.

According to Milena Santoro, Canada’s renowned destination wedding planner “It’s really refreshing to experience a congress with a different program, layout and interactive activities that are not typical. The importance of attending this event is to connect with pre-qualified strategic partners in the defined destination.  This is an opportunity to meet face-to-face, exchange ideas, compare markets and walk away with concrete concepts is fundamental. I’m looking to create strategic partnership with stakeholders such as: luxury brand venues, stellar vendors/suppliers as well as other supporter such as CVB, Economic Development organization, Tourism Boards, Media representation and the like.”
