Exhibit at the Bridal Affair Wedding Shows
Even if you are booked solid now, what about next year?
Wedding professionals are busier than ever — and that’s great news. But what about next year’s calendar? The search for new clients never really ends.
If you’re feeling stretched thin trying to keep up with this week’s weddings while filling your calendar for next year, you’re not alone. With so many competitors vying for attention, finding time to attract future bookings can feel impossible.
Here’s how the selling process usually works
1.
You spend time and money to be noticed.
You spend a lot of time and effort just to get noticed — advertising on wedding websites, crafting social media posts, writing blogs, and participating in styled shoots. None of these things actually bring you business; they simply let potential customers know you’re out there.
2.
Then you sit back and wait … and hope.
After all your hard work, a potential client finally gets in touch. They ask questions, you share your pricing, and everything seems promising … until they suddenly stop responding and ghost you.
3.
If you’re lucky, a few will want to meet you.
The meeting is where the magic happens. Given the chance, you’re confident you can close the deal. But getting that appointment can feel impossible if they don’t reply. It’s a frustrating and time-consuming cycle, yet it repeats time and time again.
Here’s how it works at Bridal Affair Wedding Shows
1.
The entire selling process is combined into one step
When you showcase your business at the Bridal Affair Wedding Shows, we bring your future clients directly to you. In just a few hours, you’ll connect face-to-face with a crowd of newly engaged couples who are actively planning their weddings. This is your chance to engage with them, highlight what makes your business exceptional, and capture their interest right when they’re ready to invest in their big day. Many couples will be ready to book services, often closing the deal right then and there.
Monster Beatz DJs says …
“Monster BeatZ DJ’s has been working with Bridal Affair for many years now… well into 90 events. We have ran the numbers and can easily verify that we have seen a minimum of a 30% increase in sales and success due to Ron’s efforts and the quality of couples that he attracts.”

“We have been a participant in a Bridal Affair Wedding Shows for nearly 5 years. I love that it is a smaller show and less overwhelming for couples and easier to connect and have good conversations. It’s also the only show I know of that vets the vendors and limits each category to ensure the couples are protected from scams and inexperienced vendors.”

What are the benefits of exhibiting at a wedding show?
If you’re a wedding professional, or if you offer a product or service that you would like to promote to soon-to-be-married couples, exhibiting at a wedding show can be a great way to meet new clients and grow your business. At a wedding show, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with couples, their friends, and their families in a face-to-face environment.
A wedding show allows you to showcase your offerings in a way that you cannot do through online marketing. Prospective customers have the opportunity to see, feel, touch, and taste … and most importantly, the opportunity to meet you face-to-face.
Plus, a wedding show provides you the opportunity to meet other wedding professionals and grow your referral network.
How many couples will attend?
Attendances vary depending on the show, but we can provide you with previous show attendance numbers. Our attendance numbers are verified through our list of confirmed attendees. We see no need to provide you with inflated attendance projections … you’re too smart for that!
How much does it cost to exhibit?
Our exhibitor fees vary depending on the location and the size of your exhibit space, but the cost to participate is typically less than half the price of the “big shows”. Our regular spaces are only $450 with the early sign-up discount. We usually have a limited number of both smaller and larger spaces. We can also customize a space to fit your needs. We would love to connect with you to share all the details, so give us a call or fill out the form below.
What if the show is cancelled due to weather?
If other wedding shows are cancelled, you are left with no sales, no leads, and you are out your exhibitor fee. If a Bridal Affair show has to be cancelled due to weather, we will quickly reschedule the show to a new date at no additional charge to you! This unique guarantee is in writing in our contract.
Will all my competitors be there?
With all of the online resources, your competition is everywhere. The wedding websites have dozens, if not hundreds, of listings in every category. And then there’s Google.
Our shows are well-received by our attendees because we provide them with an array of choices, but without the clutter that is found online. For the products and services that are needed by nearly every wedding, it is likely that there will be other exhibitors in the category, but you will definitely have far fewer competitors than you have online.
Because we want our exhibitors to be successful, we place limits on the most popular categories and similar exhibitors are spaced apart from each other.
Can I participate if my business is not wedding-specific?
Absolutely! In addition to planning their wedding, our attending couples are planning the next chapter of their lives. Our show has proven to be successful for many non-wedding businesses, including real estate agents, mortgage companies, financial planners, and insurance agents. While many couples attend together, our attendance is largely female. This provides a great selling opportunity for products or services related to beauty, fitness, and fashion.
I’ve never exhibited at a show before. Can you help me prepare?
We love helping new exhibitors succeed! We know that if you have an effective display and presentation, our show can be your best marketing value, and you will join us show after show. Plus, you’ll have access to a series of training videos that will give you the keys to success.
How far in advance should I register?
We recommend that you register for the show as soon as you have made the decision to participate. Our shows have more repeat exhibitors due to their success, so we sell out more quickly than other shows. By registering early, you will have plenty of time to prepare, and you’ll have the option to pay a small deposit to lock in your space, and pay the balance later.
