One-Stop Shopping Will Save You Time

To find a DJ, photographer, caterer, baker, and every other vendor you'll need all within 50 feet of each other is amazing. With so many resources, a couple can plan their entire wedding in just one day. Or at the very least, obtain a reliable list of vendors to talk with further. Days or weeks could be spent running around the city or hours consumed online, tracking down vendors, trying to remember what you saw and with whom you spoke. Attend a wedding show - where numerous wedding professionals are waiting to help you all in one location saves you time and stress.


Meet Local Vendors In-person

You can learn a lot by clicking through someone's online website or social media. But talking to a vendor in-person can offer a completely different impression. Wedding shows present the opportunity to meet prospective vendors face-to-face and get a feel for their personality and the services they provide. Creating the perfect moment to ask questions, view samples of their work, and share ideas.

See the Latest Trends

Each and every one of our shows includes wedding scapes displaying current trends in invitation designs, floral, sweets, reception decor, and so much more. This doesn't include all of the wonderful ideas you will see designed into each vendor booth. Another show highlight is our fashion runway show, highlighting the newest styles in bridal, bridesmaids, and formalwear. All of this can be enjoyed while sipping on a cocktail and trying some tasty food and delicious dessert bites. Galleries of past shows can be found here with highlights of what to expect.
