The South East Wedding Show — What’s On

What's on

The South East’s unmissable wedding event for soon-to-be brides and grooms, plus their families, friends and wedding squad! In addition to a fantastic selection of the region’s top wedding venues, suppliers and specialists, The South East Wedding Show will have a variety of talks and workshops to provide you with all the #weddinginspo.

Discover DIY wedding ideas on the craft stage, which will be a huge help if you’re looking to save money on your wedding budget. Or for tips to help you along the planning journey, from professional wedding planning tips to beautiful wedding makeup ideas, head to our planning stage in partnership with Hitched, the UK’s number one wedding planning website.

Catwalk sessions will run throughout the weekend, showcasing amazing dresses, stylish wedding suits, gorgeous bridesmaid dresses and more, all from local bridal shops and menswear suppliers. If you’re looking for wedding cakes (or just love drooling over cake), the Beautiful Bakes area is full of delicious designs from cake makers in the South East counties – plus you can even try a piece too!

If you need a break from gathering wedding ideas, rest your feet and have a drink in The Entertainment Hub while enjoying some live music. Or to give your day an extra special sparkle, book in for our VIP experience and delicious afternoon tea.
