The Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB) extends its congratulations to ‘Hemant Dadlani Weddings & Events’ Founder Hemant Dadlani, on his re-confirmation as a global visionary in the prestigious 2025–2026 DWP Insider Powerlist. This marks the second consecutive cycle that Dadlani has been honoured by the DWP Insider Executive Committee as one of the world’s most influential wedding planners and designers.
The DWP Insider Powerlist is regarded as the destination wedding industry’s most exclusive roster, serving as a non-commercial “Who’s Who” of the global elite. Unlike standard industry awards, inclusion cannot be bought or applied for. Selection is based on rigourous observation of professionals who consistently demonstrate excellence, innovation, and leadership within the luxury wedding market.
Dadlani expressed his gratitude, stating: “It is a true honour to be acknowledged alongside the most respected names in our industry. This recognition is a testament to the trust our global clients place in us and my team’s commitment to raising the bar for luxury celebrations in Sri Lanka and beyond.”
With over 25 years of experience across the UK, India, Malaysia, and Australia, Hemant Dadlani has designed more than 500 high-profile weddings. Known as the “Dream-Maker,” he is celebrated for a philosophy that balances meticulous production with authentic storytelling. His firm, ‘Hemant Dadlani Weddings & Events’, is recognised as one of Sri Lanka’s premier luxury wedding planning companies, specialising in bespoke experiences for an international clientele.
As the only Sri Lankan planner ever selected, Dadlani provides high-net-worth clients with a prestigious “seal of approval” for elite destination events, granting entry into an elite circle of industry giants, fostering strategic partnerships with world-class luxury tourism boards and hotels. Further, following this announcement, Dadlani continues to serve as a thought leader, frequently speaking at global summits such as the DWP Privé.
This recognition is a milestone that enhances Sri Lanka’s reputation as a premier destination for luxury weddings and international celebrations. By spotlighting Sri Lankan talent on the global stage, this achievement reinforces the nation’s commitment to positioning itself as a hub for high-value tourism experiences.
Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau celebrates Hemant Dadlani’s success and looks forward to continued collaboration in showcasing Sri Lanka as a destination of choice for world-class events and luxury celebrations.
