“The most beautiful thing about young love is the truth in our hearts that it will last forever”
— Atticus
In May 2019, the gorgeous couple Mansi and Dipit tied the knot at the luxurious Grand Hyatt Baha Mar which is located in the scenic archipelago of The Bahamas. The weekend in paradise was filled with incredible revelries, tropical fun and a host of their loved ones. The gorgeous wedding was beautifully curated by ace wedding planner and internationally acclaimed expert on South Asian weddings, Sonal J. Shah, at the spectacular beach resort on the pristine Cable Beach of Nassau, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar.
The DWP Congress has been instrumental in connecting the two stalwarts. They met at the DWP Congress in Mexico last year and formed a great connection. As a result, the stunning wedding was planned and executed to perfection. We got in touch with Sonal J. Shah, the force behind Sonal J. Shah Event Consultants, LLC along with Kelly L Henderson, the Director of Events at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar to learn more about their amazing collaboration. They also reveal some key details of how the gorgeous nuptials panned out!
“I have been attending DWP for the past 4 years. We were looking for a venue that could hold over 500 people and which is located in the Caribbean. I remember that at a previous DWP conference, I had met people from the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar. After doing a quick introduction with the couple, everything worked out from there swimmingly! The connections I make at DWP are immeasurable, it’s great to be able to meet new venues we otherwise would have never heard of before. Attending the conferences allows you have a B2B connection with them all!” — Sonal J. Shah, Founder & CEO, Sonal J. Shah Event Consultants, LLC
“Overall, I liked the DWP Congress. I think the events were well planned and the time with customers was effective. Sonal and I met during the rotations of client appointments. I was able to talk about Grand Hyatt Baha Mar and learn more about her customers and profile, and she ultimately reached out to us, following the event with a lead. Ultimately, the role of this sort of organization is key to our business and furthering our exposure.” — Kelly L Henderson, Director of Events, Grand Hyatt Baha Mar
