Geelong couples can learn more about their ideal wedding as the Geelong Wedding Guide Expo returns for its seventh year.
Deakin University’s Waterfront Campus will host the free expo on Sunday, January 19, from 10am to 2pm, featuring Jessie Walsdorf, from Jessie Belle Ceremonies, as the event’s master of ceremonies.
Event organiser Dani Fontana said the event was designed to help couples along their wedding planning journey.
“We’ve got interactive sessions from 11am, giveaways valued at over $10,000, and goodie bags for the first 50 couples on the day,” she said.
“It’s definitely going to be bigger than last year. We’ve got three main spaces this year, and there is no empty space with over 70 vendors and heaps of activities.
“I love the anticipation of weddings and… the post ceremony celebrations when everyone’s just a bit more relaxed and all their friends and family can just stop and enjoy themselves.”
Ms Fontana said she encouraged people to have friendly ‘no pressure’ conversations with vendors across the region.
“It is surreal every year just to see how many people turn up and the businesses that do really well from it,” she said.
“I love seeing the line of people at the door, and we always get people lining up super early. Last year, people were there before 6am even though the venue doesn’t open till 10am.
“People can always come early, but to have meaningful conversations with vendors, you can always come later. We recommend coming after 11am if you want to have a bit more of a relaxed atmosphere.”
