We’re all getting very excited here at County Wedding Events HQ about our upcoming Signature Wedding Shows. In anticipation of the events, we've put together our nearlyweds’ guide to getting the most from wedding shows - ten top tips for getting that wed-min nailed!

The shows are being held in four iconic locations in the South of England:

The Brentwood Centre, Essex – Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th September, 2019
Mercedes-Benz World, Surrey – Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th September, 2019
Ascot Racecourse, Berkshire – Sunday 27th October, 2019
Wembley Stadium, London – Sunday 26th April, 2020

The events all promise to be extravaganzas of fashion shows, styling demonstrations, live entertainment and delicious tasters. Couples will be able to chat with the best wedding suppliers each region has to offer. What’s more, the shows are all FREE to attend!

Here are our top ten tips to get the best from wedding shows:


1. Narrow down. Before the show, have a chat with your partner to decide a few key factors about your wedding. In what season and year are you hoping to tie the knot? Have you decided on a location? What overall style will you be going for? It’s good to have an idea on this when chatting to companies.

2. Comfort. You’ll be on your feet all day; wear comfy flats and pop some blister plasters in your bag.

3. Set up a wedding email address. This way you can keep everything in one place, and it makes it much easier to refer back to suppliers’ emails.

4. The entourage. Decide who you’ll take with you – will it be your partner, or would you prefer to have a day with the girls or your mum?

5. Homework. Make a checklist of the type of suppliers you’re looking for on the day. If you’re in the early stages of planning, this might be your venue or photographer. Later down the line, you might want to check out florists, cake designers and DJs.

6. Get social. Follow the event organiser and some of the suppliers who are attending on social media. This way you’ll be first to know of any show offers, and you’ll also be able to decide who you want to meet on the day.

7. Book. If you love something, book it! There will be lots of other couples chatting to the same suppliers, so make sure you secure your date – but don’t ever feel pressurised into doing so if you’re not 100 per cent sure.

8. Prep work. Pre-register for the event online so it saves you time on the day, and arrive early to make the most of the show. We even give wedding planners away to the first 100 couples through the door.

9. Get organised. Take your diary with you so you can make appointments, and make sure you keep any literature you receive in a folder – you never know when you’ll need it during your planning.

10. Enjoy! Chat to other couples, enjoy the cake tastings, check out the incredible fashion shows, get in the photo booth and grab a glass of fizz. There’s nothing quite like a wedding show!
