Exhibitors showcasing wedding products and services – from flowers and bespoke stationery to photography and musicians  – packed the venue set in beautiful surroundings with picturesque lakes and glorious countryside. The show was particularly special for I Will because it was our first ever evening event.

Kathy Berrey of Weddings by KathyB, who makes beautiful wedding stationery, said: “We did surprisingly well. It was a beautiful evening all round with loads of lovely brides-to-be and lots of consultations booked. Well done I Will.”

Happy couples preparing to tie the knot were able to enter our prize draw to win free room hire worth up to £850 courtesy of The Vale Golf Club, Evesham. Brides and grooms-to-be attending any of our shows can try their luck at winning this prize.

The next I Will Autumn wedding fairs will take place on Sunday September 7 at The Copthorne Hotel, Merry Hill, Dudley, and at The Abbey Hotel, Malvern. Both events will start at 11am and finish at 3pm. The next evening show will be held at The Crown and Sandys Arms at Ombersley on Tuesday September 9 from 5.30pm until 9pm.

The other fairs will take place on Sundays and there are some lovely new venues to look out for including The Greenway at Shurdington, just outside Cheltenham. As well as our regular venues, we will also be returning to Brockencote Hall at Chaddesley Corbett.

The I Will Wedding Fairs – run by the people behind local newspapers such as The Shuttle, Bromsgrove Advertiser, Redditch Advertiser, Stourbridge News, Halesowen News and Dudley News – bring together an array of services under one roof. This means couples, and their families and friends, can spend a relaxed and enjoyable day  ­– or evening – collecting ideas and contacts to help create the perfect wedding.
