The big differences with Wedding Fairs, Open Days, and showcases
With essentially two types of wedding fairs, it’s easy to mistake them. Essentially, one type is run by a venue as an open day or venue showcase. The other type is run by a business who rent the venue, and sell exhibition space to wedding service providers like me.
Many wedding fairs, showcases, and open days run by wedding venues only invite wedding suppliers they love and trust to provide an amazing service to their clients. Here you will usually only find high quality suppliers who are passionate about their offering to you, the client. The ones run by businesses generally need an exhibitor who can pay for a stand to be part of the event. Many venues attend the latter, so if you haven’t decided on a venue yet, they are very useful for inspiration.
Advice for attending a wedding fair / open day
Wedding fairs and open days can be really full on! It’s easy to be overwhelmed with services and choices. So, have a good look around at the exhibitors, be prepared to provide some information for your event. Take your time, and expect a follow up if you connect with those you like. Don’t be afraid to ask any question. In my book, there is no such thing as a silly question. Don’t get pulled in by a ‘hard sell’. Most of us are there because we want to find clients we would love to work with.
