Just wanted to send you, Richard and all the team a quick email to thank you all once again for an excellent, well organised fayre.
Business was good on the day and I have turned the computer on this morning to more email enquiries.
As mentioned to Richard last night when I was packing up please put me down for next year but I will have a bigger stand please!

Still buzzing from the weekend (and some ibuprofen for my dodgy knee! lol).
Was great to meet the team behind it all. We got about 37 'qualified' leads which I don't think was bad, what with the standard of the other togs there!
Thanks for all your help

Hi guys! Just to say a massive well done on today's fair, it was a huge success from our point of view, absolutely without a doubt the best event we have ever attended as an exhibitor. It was amazing, wall-to-wall packed with visitors, exhibitors and wow-factor displays. Thank you so much for allowing us to stand and we hope you will again next year, we have really enjoyed it and would definitely sign up asap. And if that’s not enough I have left your first glittering review on this page

To all you visitors, it was lovely meeting and chatting to so many of you, and apologies if we missed you because we were just so busy, please get in touch for more information.

Just to say, PH-EN-OM-EN-AL !!!!!! Absolutely, THE best ever wedding show I've ever been to,!! Can’t believe the response! Well done to Richard and the whole team, what a day! No tyre kickers! All serious brides, with dates in the diary, double stand next year Richard, 68 and next door! Well done again XX

Really good show. Had a great day busy and lots of visitors.
Would recommend closing at 4pm as show felt quiet after 4pm.
Sales over the next few months will determine whether or not we exhibit next year.

Great – but I was on the stand myself. I couldn’t leave my jewellery to go so far to get a drink. Behind my stand was another area which could have housed drinks for the stand holders?

If people haven’t set up by the start of the show, don’t let them exhibit.
Announce when the show has closed so exhibitors know when they can pack up.
Do a show in Leeds at the Armouries.
Keep up the hard work, fantastic show as always.
Please, please do one in Leeds.

Didn’t get any sandwiches/snacks delivered to our stand at lunch time.
Went to get tea/coffee and there were no cups!!
Good marketing though – lots of brides!

Really well attended and well organised, congratulations to all concerned.
We already have firmed bookings and appointments – so hopefully more to come.
Bob Newall, Photofit
Just had yet another booking after this years show, I am blown away by the number of Brides the show brought us. Will certainly be looking forward to next years !

Here's what the
Brides thought...
Loved the show on Sunday was fantastic!! I’m getting my dress from seeing it in the Catwalk show from It’s Bliss in Doncaster. I love it!! xx
Karriann
Had a fabulous time - loved it.
Ang
The show was fantastic!! I really enjoyed it and I got lots of ideas for my wedding now too!! Thanks
Rachel
It was a good day in general thanks, however... I did not get 'free goodie bag' .... 'free complimentary tickets to visit the show' , or the ' free £1000's worth of discount vouchers'. ???
Jeanette
Yes really enjoyed the day and it has given Jo the bride lots of ideas and she has chosen the wedding car and taken information about that. The acts were good too especially the piano player and the information about themed entertainment.
I don't there is anything that I could say to improve on it was a good day really enjoyed it.
Tina
I really enjoyed the Wedding Exhibition especially the Catwalk Exhibition! I wish it had gone on for longer!!! Towards the end of the Catwalk Exhibition, a girl came out in a White Silk Wedding Dress. It was very slim fitting with button detail all down the back. It was different to all the rest and I want to know where I can get that dress! Can you help??
Nicola
Loved it!! Some real good bargins and ideas! I did think the drag act was a little inappropriate during the cat walk show as there were a few children there.
Kerri
I really enjoyed the Bridal Exhibition - you had attracted quality companies to exhibit who made it worth attending. My only criticism would be that the fashion show was far too long at nearly an hour. At the show I attended, people were walking out before the end which wasn't really fair on those companies whose scenes were towards the end of the show. Having said that, it is only a small niggle and the rest of the event more than made up for it! As I am getting married next year and haven't sorted anything out yet (!), attending such a large event gave me access to all the companies I needed to contact without having to trail round them individually.
Liz Allen
I had a great time - thank you very much!
Leonie
We really enjoyed it there was a good mix of exhibitors and the catwalk show was amazing (not sure how necessary the guy singing was at the beginning though I just wanted to get to seeing the amazing dresses)
Our only problem was when we were waiting to park there were no spaces and the guys who were directing the traffic found the last available space for the car at the front of the queue and then just went without explaining to the rest of the cars in the line that there were no more or to advise us to turn round etc.
Apart from the lack of communication from the parking guys the whole day was very enjoyable and we booked several people including invitation lady and chocolate fountain (mmm yummy cant wait for that)
Thanks again for a brilliant day
Tracy
We would like to have seen more for bridesmaid gown stalls and have the opportunity to try dresses on. It also felt a little crowded.
Sally Willis, Hudds
More bridesmaid & entertainment details would have been good. But lots of ideas.
Steph R, Leeds
More entertainment for kids would have been good e.g. face painters, magicians other than that brilliant
It was very good, lots of stalls
Enjoyed looking around got my chair covers at low price. Couldn’t get in the catwalk though too full
Was a little crowded, would have been nice if companies would have stock to buy today.
Could have been a bit more spread out, but otherwise a good variety and selection of services.
Good. Lots of information
Too many photographers – overwhelming. Everything else brilliant. Turned away from Catwalk though.
I didn’t like the cheesy transvestites at the beginning of the Catwalk show.
Lots of stands would come again.
Great Exhibition! Plenty of inspiration at stands and ideas!
Lots to see, would have been better to have more space in Catwalk show – travelled from London, turned away twice. More men’s tailoring – none here!
Really great exhibition with good variety of stands. The standard of the Catwalk show was very disappointing.
Exc! Exhibition – great stands – Catwalk show quite poor needing more choreography & planning.
Larger stands – more products for sale would be good.
Very good fashion show and plenty of stands for ideas. All in all very good.
Very good but very busy, especially with prams!
Very good – especially liked the Catwalk show.
Excellent!!! Fashion show Brill, Cafe not really offering much choice or seats.
Enjoyable day – Great time had by all!
V Good!!
Amazing day! Fantastic to look around. Your Queens and dresses were Amazing!!
Brilliant variety of choice. Perhaps there could have been more regular fashion shows as we were unable to get in during our visit.
Enjoyed the day – more products to buy would be good though!
Very interesting and informing day!
Good day – plenty of variety and ideas! Could focus more on winter wedding though!
Well thought out, well done

Plenty of stalls. Got lots of ideas. Not much space for people walking around.
No cheese stalls for instead of wedding cakes – otherwise great!
Very good day. Catwalk brill. Wish there was more gifts for Bridesmaids and Best Man.
Very good but would have liked more bridesmaid dresses on display. Didn’t appreciate Drag artists show before Catwalk show, thought it was in very bad taste particularly as there were children present.
Amazing show. Good queens, good dresses, good show!
Brilliant Comperes – can’t be beaten.
Very good, lots of good stalls. Catwalk show fantastic especially drag queens!
Very good, could have had some hair/beauty input?? On the whole – Good!
The show was really useful – I wish I’d come before I had planned most of my day but the people I spoke to were really helpful and there was some really good offers including a wedding fascinator. The only thing was how busy it was but I guess that talks volumes about the success. My other half would have liked to see a barbers (wet shave) as that is something men like!
Really enjoyed the selection of cakes and dresses. Everyone really helpful with advice.
Really enjoyed the show. Would have liked more stands offering wedding dresses to try on.

Lots of choice & businesses but too crowded

A varied choice of stalls and will take away lots of good ideas.

Had a lovely time, lots of useful info & ideas
So many choices! A wonderful event
Had a fantastic experience lots of choice useful and helpful stalls
Lots of good ideas!
Full of good ideas, more defined area would be useful
More frequent Catwalks. Great choice of stalls. Thanks

Lots of stalls, good inspiration and found a lovely wedding fascinator hat. Liked the testers, especially the cake. Catwalk show fantastic!
Great fashion show and exhibition stalls. Plenty of ideas to take home!
Had a lovely time, good variety of stalls.

Really good, plenty of different stalls to get ideas. Best one we have been to. Disappointed Aston Hall wasn’t here really wanted to speak to them about prices.
Excellent. Disappointed no canapés on arrival. 10.10am only drinks.
Good range of stalls, needed more Bridesmaid, but overall very good.
Very good, more bridesmaid stalls, good Catwalk show.
Today was a great experience especially for the things I had no idea about, would need more choice for bridesmaids and flower girls. Found a great wedding fascinator! Also the Catwalk was brilliant but needs to be a bit slower to show off the dresses more. Thank you for a great day, Tamara Walton soon to be Mrs Watson x
Great day! Very organised & impressive!
A well organised and informative day. Maria
Need more handmade jewellery stalls!
Great day lots of ideas
Great day – lots of choice!
Great day but sign posting to the event was not good. Postcode on website was not of the event place. Better signs needed for such a big event. Lots of good information – plenty of choice. Catwalk show was good.
Great day, loads of great ideas and freebies. Holidays First stand was our fave
Very enjoyable. Excited for my big day! Love the cars. The Catwalk was fab, just couldn’t see much of them! Got lots of brochues!
Good choice in stalls. More Champagne!
Great day, loved the fashion show. Helped with many ideas for my BIG Wedding Day...... thank you!
It was good but I don’t think all opportunities were seized upon for example marquee in restaurant was scruffy and could have been a working exhibition for people who hire out marquees. Drag act cheapened the event compared to ones I had been to before. A little disappointing to be honest but friendly staff. Thank you!
