Florence, in fact, is among the most coveted places in the world, due to the charm of its palaces and its romantic atmosphere, where old meets new.
Exactly one year ago, Florence had the honor and privilege of hosting the Destination Wedding Planners Congress (DWP), a yearly appointment of great prestige in the Destination Wedding Tourism field. The kermesse brought together the top Destination Wedding professionals from over fifty countries, all under one roof. The DWP Congress is an exclusive occasion with a one-of-a-kind format, and it is the only invite-only event for professionals of the field.
Destination Weddings are a growing trend. Thanks to the increase in wealth, always more couples choose to get married outside their native country. In recent years, Florence has hosted many important ceremonies and weddings.
Even VIPs, including Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Wilkerson, and the daughter of Indian tycoon Jindals, to name a few, have chosen Florence as the city in which to celebrate their wedding reception.
