Reasons to Attend a Wedding Fair
Whether you’ve been dreaming about your wedding since you were young or just got engaged and have no idea how to start planning, a wedding fair is sure to have something for everyone!
Get ideas
Learn more about current wedding trends and see examples of real wedding photos, cakes, music, florals, and more! Many events include a fashion show featuring gowns from local boutiques and you can even speak with travel agents to start dreaming about your perfect honeymoon destination.
Meet vendors face to face
It’s important to find vendors that are a good fit for you and your partner because their work will keep the wedding day running! This is especially important to consider when selecting a photographer and wedding planner, because they actually spend a significant amount of time at your side leading up to and on the big day. Don’t hire someone just because you like their work - be sure you also vibe with them and won’t mind seeing them all day!
Stopping to chat with vendors at their wedding fair booths gives you a chance to get a quick impression of who they are and what their work is like before considering hiring them.
Sign up for freebies
Many vendors will offer freebies or a prize drawing for those who stop by their booth. Who knows, you might win a free service and end up saving a little money just for dropping in to say hello!
Enjoy a day with your squad
An excuse to hang out with your favorite people and talk weddings? Yes, please! Stop at the bar for a mimosa or glass of wine before getting started and spend a few hours meandering the booths, meeting wedding professionals, and getting opinions and feedback from your favorite people in real time.
