Chris Wright, a visionary in the hospitality and event management industry, has been transforming Dubai’s social landscape for over a decade. Originally from the UK and bringing a wealth of experience from Ibiza, Chris moved to Dubai 11 years ago with a singular ambition: to establish a hospitality group dedicated to revitalizing venues and crafting event concepts that quickly become essential parts of Dubai’s social calendar.
Under his leadership, his company has expanded significantly, now employing a diverse team of over 40 professionals, ranging from entertainers to marketers and content creators. The company specializes in consulting and staging some of the city’s most notable events, earning Chris a spot in Forbes for his remarkable achievements and a co-author credit in the “Dubai Business Leaders” book.
Among his renowned brands is the Family Brunch Dubai, a staple for over five years at prestigious locations like the Palazzo Versace and Jumeirah Beach. His company also owns the highly celebrated Secret Parties, an award-winning events company that hosts over 50,000 brunch attendees annually. Chris is also the innovator behind Ladies Day Dubai, a beloved series of pool parties featuring iconic events like “Rosé All Day” at Cove and “Secret Ladies Day” at Five.
Chris’s creativity and ability to captivate audiences have also brought the unique Bingo rave phenomenon to Dubai with Bongos Bingo, attracting over 2,000 people per show at Atlantis. His recent collaboration with Jumeirah led to the creation of “Mi Amie,” a luxury outdoor dining experience that won the “Best Luxury Outdoor Bar” at the Nightlife Awards.
With a record of putting on 950 event concepts per year, Chris’s ambition continues to drive him forward. His portfolio is rapidly expanding, now including collaborations with the Pacha Group for weekly events at the iconic Destino. His vision extends to working with the most influential hotel brands and venues, with upcoming projects like O Beach Dubai and numerous other new clients on the horizon.
Chris Wright has not only set a new standard in Dubai’s hospitality industry but is also a testament to the transformative power of vision, innovation, and strategic collaboration in creating unmatched event experiences.
