Attending a local Wedding Fair is a great way to get ideas for your big day. You will also get to meet people running local wedding services in your area, everything from local photographers, florists, cake makers, caterers and wedding car hire under the one roof. There is usually a bridal dress catwalk of all the latest designs. Very often wedding fairs take place in potential wedding venues which also gives you a chance to look around and decide whether this could be the ideal venue for you.

Here are a selection of forthcoming Wedding Fayres in the West Country:
