Speaking as Host Venue Partner, Ayla Oasis emphasizes Aqaba’s role as a natural stage for world-class weddings. “We believe Jordan has a unique story to tell in the world of destination weddings, and Ayla is the natural stage for that story. By joining the DWP Congress, we wanted to highlight Ayla as Jordan’s coastal jewel, a place where couples can experience the Red Sea, Petra, and Wadi Rum, all while celebrating in a refined setting,” shares Sahl Dudin of Ayla.

While rooted in heritage, Aqaba also speaks the language of contemporary elegance. Sahl Dudin of Ayla Oasis captures this balance: “Ayla combines sophistication with the romance of the Red Sea.” Complementing this vision, Wissam Hodroj of Hyatt Regency Aqaba Ayla Resort adds: “Every element reflects our commitment to extraordinary celebrations.” Together, they showcase a destination where luxury is not manufactured but inspired by its surroundings.

Wissam Hodroj of Hyatt Regency Aqaba Ayla Resort, the Host Hotel Partner, echoes this vision: “We believe the beauty of Jordan and its renowned hospitality should be showcased to the world’s leading wedding professionals. As Host Hotel Partner, we look forward to highlighting Jordan as a premier destination for luxury and memorable weddings.”

Majeda Kassir-Bisharat and Sewar Bisharat, Co-Founders of MY Event Design, reflect on the Congress returning to their home country: “Our journey with DWP began in 2016 in Florence, and ever since, it has felt like family. Partnering with the Congress now that it’s coming to Jordan feels very personal and special. As MY Event Design, based in Amman, we are proud to support an event that celebrates global excellence while shining a spotlight on our beautiful country.”
For many, Aqaba is where the threads of history and artistry come alive. Roberta Ventura, Founder of SEP Jordan, describes it as more than a place: “Aqaba is where heritage meets modernity… more than a destination; it’s an experience woven with meaning, beauty, and legacy.” From hand-stitched creations to timeless traditions, Aqaba offers a canvas that honors the past while shaping the celebrations of tomorrow.

Unlike sprawling urban centers, Aqaba thrives on its closeness to its people, its culture, and its visitors. Amin Kawar & Sons – Travel & Tourism reflects: “Unlike a large city, here guests remain connected. From seaside relaxation to adventures in Petra and Wadi Rum, Aqaba delivers an unforgettable journey.” In Aqaba, intimacy is its luxury, and connection is its greatest gift.

For those who believe weddings are as much about taste as they are about beauty, Aqaba offers a feast for the senses. Saif Goussous of Romero Group explains: “Our philosophy of authenticity and timeless elegance finds its perfect stage in Aqaba.” Every dish tells a story, every flavor carries a legacy, turning a meal into a memory.

Beyond cuisine, Aqaba’s natural beauty transforms every celebration into a remarkable experience. The world is headed to Aqaba and to add to the celebration one of the leading entertainment companies from Northern Europe, Show De Vida, are joining the local partners to deliver a world class experience. Sandra Brekke Ugelstad of Show De Vida shares: “Performing in the rawness of nature creates something rare and unforgettable.” In the silence of Wadi Rum’s desert or the shimmer of the Red Sea, Aqaba reveals its wild, breathtaking poetry.

For storytellers with a lens, Aqaba is a masterpiece waiting to be captured. Pervez Taufiq, Founder of P.Taufiq Photography, reflects: “Its light, landscapes, and textures create an unmatched stage for storytelling.”

And for those seeking something rare and elemental, Aqaba’s deserts whisper their magic. Dina Anbar of Sinam Desert Resort beautifully concludes: “We look forward to sharing the magic of Wadi Rum where culture, nature, and elegance meet.”
