    Your Guide to Spring 2027 Wedding Events in North Wales & Shropshire

    If you got engaged this year (or you're bracing yourself for a Christmas proposal), you'll soon discover that wedding planning has a peak season — and it's January and February. That's when venues release dates, suppliers fill their diaries and couples across North Wales, Shropshire and Cheshire start comparing notes.

    The easiest way to get ahead? Spend a Sunday afternoon at a wedding fair, where you can meet suppliers face to face, see real styling in a real venue and ask every question on your list. Here's your guide to our four free Spring 2027 Wedding Experiences.

    Why visit a wedding fair before you book anything

    • See the venue properly dressed. Photos are lovely; walking through a styled room is far more useful.
    • Meet suppliers in person. You'll know within two minutes whether you click with a photographer or DJ.
    • Compare in one afternoon. Rather than twenty separate emails, you can chat to several suppliers in one visit.
    • Taste, touch and try. Cake samples, fabric, flowers and dresses are all easier to judge in real life.

    We keep each event focused, with a maximum of two suppliers per category (photographers up to three, depending on venue size), so you get proper conversations rather than a crowd.

    1. Behind the Castle Walls — Ruthin Castle, Ruthin

    How to make the most of your visit

    1. Book your free tickets in advance — it's quicker on the day.
    2. Bring your date (or a shortlist of dates). Suppliers can check availability on the spot.
    3. Have a rough budget in mind, even if it's a range.
    4. Bring whoever you like — family, friends or your chosen family. Every couple is welcome.
    5. Take photos and notes so you remember who said what.
    6. Don't feel pressured to book on the day. Take details home and decide calmly.
