2027 WEDDING SHOW REGISTRATION IS OPEN
WHY BE PART OF OUR WEDDING SHOW?
A wedding show gives you something digital advertising can’t:
Face-to-face conversations with couples who are actively planning their wedding.
We’re super excited about our 2027 Wedding Show Season—and we want YOU to be part of it!
We have some exciting changes coming to Bride St. Louis, all designed around one simple goal:
Bring more brides to our shows—and help our vendors turn more opportunities into booked business!
Bride St. Louis is the premier wedding event company in the region, trusted by over 12,000 brides. As the leading force in St. Louis and beyond, we host spectacular wedding shows each year across St. Louis, Columbia, Missouri, and Southern Illinois—bringing together highly engaged couples and the area’s top wedding professionals under one roof. We’re investing in a stronger, more comprehensive marketing strategy designed to reach today’s engaged couples across social media, digital marketing, email, our website, strategic partnerships and more.
Now it’s your turn to get in front of them.
Why Wedding Shows Work — and Why Ours Work Better
Wedding shows are effective because they eliminate guesswork. Couples attend with intention: they’re actively planning, comparing options, and ready to book. There’s no algorithm to fight, no inbox to get lost in—just face-to-face conversations that build trust instantly. Bride St. Louis takes this a step further by delivering a curated audience of serious brides, strategic marketing before and after each show, and a polished experience that positions vendors as trusted experts—not just another booth in a crowded room.
If You Book One Couple, You’ve Already Won
When it comes to return on investment, our wedding shows simply make sense. With booth pricing most vendors find that just one solid booking covers the entire cost of exhibiting. Everything beyond that is pure profit—plus long-term brand exposure to hundreds of couples who are actively making decisions. This isn’t about handing out business cards and hoping for the best. It’s about meaningful conversations, qualified leads, and real bookings. If you’re looking for a smart, low-risk way to grow your business in 2027, this is your moment. Secure your booth now and turn one booking into a season of wins.
Choosing the right show producer to exhibit with is VITAL to a successful experience. We're a LOCAL St. Louis Owned Company and our TEAM is here to help you be successful!
We VALUE our vendors. We want to help YOUR BUSINESS be successful. We are not here to just sell you a space, we are committed to making your experience with us a successful one. When you join with us, you get an affordable vendor fee that allows you to cost-justify participating in a wedding show, and best of all, our events allow you time to make a REAL connection with brides and grooms. It’s not just about numbers -- it’s about making a connection and booking!
