Vancouver Wedding Expos and Bridal Shows
Planning a wedding can be difficult, but there are many special shows and events in the Vancouver region that can make things a little easier for couples. Events range from bridal fashion shows to huge fairs with vendors for any and all wedding needs. In addition to being one-stop events for wedding planners, most of the shows also feature valuable giveaways ranging from bridal gift bags to expensive honeymoon trips.
In this article we share details about some of the best wedding-related expos and shows to check out throughout the year. If you or someone you know is looking for the perfect gown, photographer, cake, decorations, or anything else needed for a wedding, we recommend attending one or more of the events listed below.

WESTIN BAYSHORE HOTEL, VANCOUVER
There are lots of great hotels for honeymoons and wedding receptions in the Lower Mainland. A great one is the Westin Bayshore Hotel, Vancouver. We’ve never had a wedding there, but we have stayed at the hotel a few times and loved the place. See our articles about Our Westin Bayshore Summer Staycation and Our Westin Bayshore Winter Staycation to learn about our experiences.

Fraser Valley Wedding Festival
The Fraser Valley Wedding Festival is “the longest-running wedding show in the Fraser Valley.” There are usually three events each year in either Abbotsford or Langley. The first event usually runs in late March followed by another in late September and the final one running in early November. These dates were from a few years ago. In 2024 there was an event in late October. It didn’t appear as if the event happened in 2025 and it’s to be determined if it returns in 2026.
When it does take place, you can expect to see a large marketplace, fashion shows featuring styles from multiple stores, and gift bags valued at over $1,000 for early guests. The events also feature DJ music and a bar for adults.
See our Fraser Valley Wedding Festival article for more information about the event.
