Important policies

One Brand in One Stand: Each stand is your own space to showcase your business and connect with couples. To make sure everyone gets a fair chance to shine, we ask that stands aren’t shared with other brands. This way, every exhibitor can make the most of their time at the expo!
Stay in Your Lane: To help everyone enjoy the best possible experience, we kindly ask exhibitors to remain within their stand space rather than walking around to distribute materials. Focusing on creating a welcoming, engaging experience at your stand allows couples to connect with you naturally and makes the expo more enjoyable for everyone.
Category Capacity Limits: To keep the expo fresh and exciting for couples, we carefully manage the number of exhibitors in each category, including photography, videography, venues, celebrants, and more. This helps ensure a great mix of vendors and allows every business to shine.
Have Fun and Network: We aim to create a relaxed and fun expo where couples can meet exhibitors, get inspired, and book for their special day. At the same time, we hope our exhibitors enjoy connecting with each other, sharing ideas, and building valuable relationships.
