So my venue are having a wedding showcase tonight and a wedding fair in a month or so and I'm contemplating going to the wedding showcase as I imagine it will be set up for a wedding and no suppliers there getting in my face whilst I do it but then I'm not sure if I'm right thinking this! Will it be set up or is it just that the rooms are open to view (which I've already seen!)
I'd like to see it set up for a wedding but can anyone enlighten me!? Is it worth my time?

My thoughts are the same as yours.. I'd interpret a showcase as setting the venue up as if there was a wedding and really promoting the venue itself, whereas a fair would have third party suppliers. Could you drop them an email and ask them to clarify? xx

I think it's what you've said, although I'm not sure. My venue has a showcase on the 3rd which I'm going to just to show my cousin. I don't need any suppliers which is perfect really because then I can ask my venue a couple of questions I have. At this stage I'm avoiding fairs lol. But again, our venue has a showcase but a wedding fair advertised by lots of suppliers attending later in march I believe. X

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one baffled by this!! I thought surely I should know this by now, I have been planning for 15 months now! I may just drop them an email and so to clarify, good idea. And yes April, no to suppliers now! I just want to have a few Qs answered and generally get excited about it and see it all come together in my mind! X

It's so awkward going to a fair when you've got nearly everything sorted and people pull you in but i feel awkward to say sorry, I'm booked! So listen to them waffle on for ages haha! x
I went to one on Sunday with 2 of my BMs, purely to look for suit suppliers as I'm trying desperately to match the men's ties to the dresses and having trouble and literally we were there for 5 minutes and so many people trying to talk to me about invites and cakes and bands and I love that I can now say, already got that but thanks. It was actually quite in being able to rule out so many stands at this point, it made me feel like I didn't have much left to do :) x

I agree with what's already been said. My venue does a showcase once a month so they have everything set up for a wedding, as the main ballroom can look pretty vast and plain when nothing in it and all opened out.
Our perfect day - 08.08.15 <3

It sounds to me like you are right as well. I would think a showcase is to show what it looks like with a wedding set up there. Do you know if they have wedding decorators closely linked with the venue??

Thanks everyone. Yes they do, all of which we are using because most they sell as a package with same suppliers which is why I'm hoping it will be set up because it will be similar without my touches and colour scheme if so x

That'll be good to see it set up already for a wedding. We did when we popped to view our venue as they had a wedding later in the day there.

I'm hoping so glitterfairy! I think it'll put my mind at ease a bit also as I haven't seen it set up so il trust them more. You know how it is... Put so much effort into dreaming up your wedding that trusting someone else to set it up seems a bit scary to me! X
