Make planning your big day a breeze with access to Geelong and the Surf Coasts best wedding suppliers.
When you first start planning your wedding, the list of things involved in the big day can feel seemingly endless. From the venue, photographer, food, rentals, music, photo booth and more; not to mention what you will wear for the big day — the list of things to book or buy and decisions to be made goes on and on.
While there are tonnes of magazines and blogs out there, there’s something special about face-to-face interactions with those playing a part in your big day. If you’re hoping to make more of a personal connection with those involved, be more efficient with your planning efforts (and money), or you’re just keen for a fun day out with your bride tribe (or groom squad), the Geelong Wedding Expo has you covered with the very best of what the local wedding industry has to offer.
Returning for its 24th year and conveniently popping up at the Geelong Racecourse once again, The Geelong Wedding Expo is a not-to-be-missed event if you’re tying the knot somewhere in this stunning region that we call our home.
