Exhibiting with Wedding Show Productions is one of the most effective ways to connect with engaged couples who are actively planning and ready to book. It’s your chance to showcase your services in person, something no ad or website can fully replicate. Couples get to see, touch, taste, or experience what you have to offer, and most importantly, meet you face-to-face.

Beyond the immediate client connections, the show also offers long-term value through exposure on our website and in our lead list, plus opportunities to network with fellow wedding professionals and grow your referral base. It’s not just about the weekend; it’s about building momentum for your business.

Your business must be well-established, and we prefer that you have an active website. We also review your online presence, including social media and reviews, to get a well-rounded sense of your business.

In addition to meeting these baseline requirements, acceptance is based on category availability and overall fit for the show. Some categories fill quickly and may have a waiting list. While we can’t accept every applicant, we’re always excited to discover businesses that are a great match for our audience.

Yes, if you’d like to! Sponsors choose first, and then vendors who opt for the “Choose Your Booth” upgrade get to pick their space in the order they signed up. If you’d rather skip the fee, no problem, your booth will be thoughtfully assigned by show management to ensure a balanced, high-traffic layout. Keep in mind that the Choose Your Booth upgrade is only available to a limited amount of vendors.

To keep things fresh and engaging for attendees, we do our best to keep vendors in the same category spaced apart (not including aisle ways).

Space is limited, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. While registration officially closes two weeks before the show, we often sell out well in advance, especially in popular categories like venues, photography, and DJs. The earlier you sign up, the better your chances of securing a spot in your category. If you’re thinking about participating, don’t wait. We also recommend sooner rather than later, so we have time to promote your business, send communication, develop our show plans, and make sure that you are able to take advantage of all show perks.

Nope! 

We ask for a 50% deposit at registration and full payment 30 days prior to the show. Our preferred payment is ACH or check, but credit card payment is an option with a 3% processing fee. If you’re interested in setting up a payment plan, please let us know.

If you prefer to pay in full, that option will be available on your invoice. Full payments are accepted by credit card, ACH, or check by mail.

It depends. While our primary focus is on businesses directly related to weddings, we do accept vendors whose products or services are closely tied to the wedding experience such as offerings for bachelor or bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, honeymoons, wedding gift registries, or health & beauty services.

However, we typically do not accept businesses that offer general lifestyle or post-wedding services like chiropractors, roofing, windows, real estate, MLM businesses & financial advising. These may be relevant to newlyweds, but they fall outside the scope of what our attendees are looking for.

If your business isn’t wedding-specific, participation is considered on a case-by-case basis, and you're welcome to apply.

The attendee list is a key benefit reserved exclusively for participating exhibitors. It is not available for purchase and is never sold or shared with non-exhibitors.

Please be aware: If you receive an email or message offering to sell a list of our attendees, it is a SCAM. These types of fraudulent offers circulate within the event industry from time to time. The only legitimate attendee list comes directly from us—and it’s only provided to our official exhibitors after the show.

We promote the show through social media, TV, Google ads, streaming, radio, Heartland Wedding Ideas magazine, and retail storefronts. Facebook and Instagram are our most active platforms, but we use a mix of digital, print, and in-person marketing to reach engaged couples wherever they are.

We set aside about 25% of our total booth sales specifically for show advertising. It’s the kind of reach that’s tough for any one business to achieve alone but by pooling the resources of all our vendors, we’re able to create a marketing campaign that drives real results and gets couples through the doors.

On average, we have 800-1,000 guests attend the wedding shows twice a year in each location. This is a mix of newly engaged couples, their “I-Do Crew” and family members actively planning their big day! 

We feature an exclusive lineup of 50-100 wedding professionals per show, carefully curated to offer a mix of categories. This ensures great visibility and opportunity for every event while giving attendees a complete, high-quality wedding planning experience. 

Our goal is always to create the perfect environment where real couples connect directly with trusted wedding professionals- and it works! Many of our vendors report securing strong leads and on-the-spot bookings during and after each show.

Absolutely! We love when vendors get creative with giveaways- it’s a fantastic way to stand out and keep your brand in front of couples even after the show. Vendors are encouraged, but not required to participate. 

We distribute swag bags to all VIP guests and 300 additional guests. There is a $50 fee to be included in the swag bags.

While we don’t offer direct discounts for booking multiple shows, there are excellent perks and added visibility for vendors who participate in more than one show. 

Multiple show perks include free inserts into the wedding show bags ($50 value) and free “choose your booth” option ($100 value). 

Many of our returning vendors find that being part of several shows each year helps them build lasting recognition and generate leads long after the event weekend ends.
