What is The National Wedding Show?
-
The National Wedding Show is the UK’s largest consumer wedding planning event, bringing together hundreds of wedding suppliers (from bridal boutiques and florists to photographers, venues, décor, cakes and more) in one place.
-
It runs multiple times a year (in Spring and Autumn) in key cities (London, Birmingham, Manchester) to give couples access to local and national vendors. The event is designed not just as a trade show, but as an immersive planning experience: you can browse, meet, sample services, attend talks, watch catwalks, and more.
