Hi

Just wondering how many of you have been to a wedding Fayre/show before and what to expect?? There's one coming up near me in a couple of months and I'm gonna go but just wondered what there like and how you found them

xxx

i have been to tons! i love them have got loads of inspiration from them but not used any of the suppliers :-S only the photographer that goes with our venue. You will get bombarded loads of leaflets and info but its all weddings so you will love it H2B might not though lol tom hates them! x x

We got freebies and loads of inspiration from them when we have been. Good afternoon out though

Yeah I think im gonna go and see what its like, and yeah its a day out too.... Don't think h2b wud like to go though, lol xx

They're good for ideas, basing my invites on a stationery company's design, found our wedding car, helped Ross enormously on the suit front and got to see a lot of our photographer's work - turns out he's been involved in a lot of weddings with most local vendors so his pics were all over the show :)
No harm in looking xxx

i went to one other week was good worth it saw few things that helped me out xx

Ok thanks :) have fun when u go x

I agree with the others - they are great for ideas but be prepared to say "thanks I'll think about it and come back to you" a lot! The National Wedding Show in Brum is mental - I went there for work once and nearly got trampled on by B2Bs rushing for the dress stands! Local ones aren't quite that bad. I'd take your bridesmaids or Mum though - not H2B!

ive booked them all in my diary haha i wanna go! im looking forward to the big ones in london in particular! hoping to get freebies haha

sorry im re opening this but i was wondering if anyones been to one at brands hatch and what kind of freebies do u get lol??

I'm going to wedding fayre at Dorton House in Sevemnoaks, Kent (my venue) this Sunday.... will be the 3rd wedding fair I've been to there... soo can't be bad!!

Found out there is one at the Trafford Centre on the 19th & 20th Feb - might have to go to that one. And my local town is having one in the Memorial Hall, which I'll go to because the lady I got my wedding dress off is having a catwalk show at it, and she's lovely, so I shall be there in support :-)

I enjoy them, just to look round for ideas and enter the competitions - LOL I have entered sooo many competitions!

We went to one at Elland Road stadium last year - but to be honest we didn't really enjoy it. When we arrived we filled in a card for a free draw to win wedding things - and since then all we've had is junk mail from companies plying their trade.

I visited a bridal shop that was there, and they were so rude and obnoxious once I had my appointment. At least I found somewhere else completely for my dress.

Personally I don't like being given the hard sell by companies and them bombarding me for business - as we've managed to book everything for the wedding without anyone from the fair.

theres 2 in swansea on sunday, i cant make it to either but thought others might like to know. dragon hotel kingsway, town centre. and village hotel in SA1.

I'm going to one at the Marriott County Hall in London on Sunday - fingers crossed for some good freebies! lol x

Dragging H2B along to one at our venue at the end of March, hopefully I won't be swayed on things I've already decided on lol

I have 3 over feb one i'll be dragging h2b too on the 4th at the bull hotel, another my friend will be dragged along to on the 11th at the east of england showground and my sisters are coming to the last one on the 23rd at springfields hehehe (might have got where on the last two the wrong way round???)
Cant wait, ive found a few things at previous ones ive been to so cant wait to see what i'll find this time!
