Goodwill Wedding Agency

Goodwill Wedding Agency has been planning weddings since 2008 and opened its Dubai operation in 2023. As a destination wedding planner in Dubai, the agency works mainly with international couples who choose the city for their wedding, many of them from CIS countries. Its approach is to honour each couple’s own traditions while giving the day a refined, modern European look.

Founder Tamilla Amedova has close to 20 years of experience in events. She runs every first consultation herself and stays involved at each stage of planning. The team works in English, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian, so couples and their families can plan a luxury wedding in Dubai comfortably in their own language, even from thousands of kilometres away.

Services & Specialties

• Full wedding planning in Dubai: from the first consultation to the last guest leaving, with one personal manager assigned once the contract is signed.
• Venue sourcing: a shortlist of more than ten venues matched to your brief, from beach resorts to ballrooms, with video walkthroughs if you cannot visit in person.
• Wedding design and styling: decor concept, palette, guest dress code and stationery, built around your story.
• Ceremony and evening script: a personalised scenario from the vows to the first dance.
• Vendor team: photographers, videographers, florists, decorators, hosts and stylists, either vetted Dubai suppliers or specialists flown in from abroad.
• Budget planning: a transparent estimate, clear priorities and cost control throughout.
• Guest services: transfers, hotel selection, help with flights and a dedicated guest chat with event updates.
• Wedding-day coordination: a coordination team manages setup, timing and suppliers, and the bride has her own assistant for the day.
