Anna Gorodzhaya represented Russia at the international conference of the world’s most influential wedding planners in the UAE

This year, Abu Dhabi was named the world’s best wedding destination at the Ace Global Awards. The capital of the UAE has become a center of attraction not only for newlyweds but also for the most influential wedding planners from around the world.

The Abu Dhabi Wedding Extravaganza took place in Abu Dhabi from 13-15 October in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau, part of the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism. The world’s most influential contractors and organizers were invited to the conference.

There was only one representative from Russia – the wedding agency SVADBERRY, represented by the company’s co-founder and development director Anna Gorodzha. Colleagues shared experiences, connections and the latest trends in the wedding industry. The event highlighted the limitless potential of luxury weddings in Abu Dhabi.

“Abu Dhabi is a combination of Greece and the Maldives, a true wonder of the world. The city has changed a lot in the last two or three years, it is now one of my favorite places on the planet,” Anna Gorodzhaya said in her impressions.

“A special moment of the conference for me was the speech of Charles Kaysin from Belgium. Their surrealist dishes gained international prominence in the art world, allowing them to become part of the art movement in the events industry. Kaysin collaborates with brands such as Hermès, Cartier, Rolls-Royce, Delvaux and Hollywood stars. “We have made contacts and will work together in the near future,” the businesswoman added.

Anna Gorodzhaya admitted that she likes such international conferences because of the opportunity to meet the best in the industry and exchange experiences. At the same time, according to him, “you improve yourself and your work reaches an incredibly high level.”

“I am grateful for the honor of representing Russia through my company at such events. Russia can safely have a competitive advantage. Thanks to 100% involvement and individual approach to business, we have the highest level of event organization service in the world. What the organizers in Russia are doing is changing the world of the event as a whole,” said Anna Gorodzhaya.

The capital of the UAE is a vibrant hub of cultural diversity, luxury venues and state-of-the-art facilities, making it the perfect setting for truly unforgettable weddings and grand events. Abu Dhabi has at least 10 advantages for hosting all kinds of events:

• The best sunsets in the world in the rays of the red sun.
• Lots of wedding venue options, from industrial to cultural. The aesthetics of the island of Santorini, without thousands of tourists and with excellent service.
• Official wedding ceremony for Russians.
• There are no restrictions: It is much easier to close venues for special celebrations than in other countries.
• Abu Dhabi has a pleasant climate. It’s not as windy here as in Dubai.
• The beaches are better than in the Maldives. The snow-white sand of the beach that does not warm up in the sun. True natural magic.
• Simple logistics. A direct flight from Moscow takes 5.5 hours.
• Visa-free entry to the country.
• The highest service for event venues. Various dishes and quality service.
• The variety of entertainment in the city makes it possible not only to organize a wedding or event, but also to organize the best adventure for yourself and your loved ones.

But there is one minus. It will be more expensive to organize an event in Abu Dhabi than in Dubai. This is an option for the luxury and premium segment.

The conference ended with a gala dinner and awards ceremony held at one of Abu Dhabi’s best beach clubs.
