Exhibiting at The Portland Wedding Show is one of the most effective ways to connect with engaged couples who are actively planning and ready to book. It’s your chance to showcase your services in person, something no ad or website can fully replicate. Couples get to see, touch, taste, or experience what you offer, and most importantly, meet you face-to-face.

Beyond the immediate client connections, the show also offers long-term value through exposure on our website and in our lead list, plus opportunities to network with fellow wedding professionals and grow your referral base. It’s not just about the weekend, it’s about building momentum for your business.

Your business must be at least one year old and have an active website. We also review your online presence, including social media and reviews, to get a well-rounded sense of your business.

In addition to meeting these baseline requirements, acceptance is based on category availability and overall fit for the show. Some categories fill quickly and may have a waiting list. While we can’t accept every applicant, we’re always excited to discover businesses that are a great match for our audience.

Exhibitor fees range from $950 to $3000 depending on the size of your booth. Our standard 10x10 booth is $950. We’d love to connect and walk you through the options. Give us a call or fill out the form below, and we’ll send you all the details.

Yes, if you’d like to! Sponsors choose first, and then vendors who opt for the Choose Your Booth upgrade get to pick their space in the order they signed up. If you’d rather skip the fee, no problem, your booth will be thoughtfully assigned by show management to ensure a balanced, high-traffic layout. Keep in mind that the Choose Your Booth upgrade is only available to a maximum of 30 exhibitors.

To keep things fresh and engaging for attendees, vendors in the same category will be spaced at least 10 feet apart (not including aisle ways).

Space is limited, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. While registration officially closes two weeks before the show, we often sell out well in advance, especially in popular categories like venues, photography, and planners & coordinators. The earlier you sign up, the better your chances of securing a spot in your category. If you’re thinking about participating, don’t wait.

Nope! By default, vendors are set up on a 3-installment autopay plan. Your total fee will be split into three equal payments: the first is due within 15 days of acceptance, with the remaining two scheduled for August 15th and October 15th. Payments can be made by credit card or ACH transfer, and autopay is required for this option.

If you prefer to pay in full, that option will be available on your invoice. Full payments are accepted by credit card, ACH, or check by mail.

Vendors accepted after August 15th will receive a custom payment schedule based on their acceptance date.

It depends. While our primary focus is on businesses directly related to weddings, we do accept vendors whose products or services are closely tied to the wedding experience such as offerings for bachelor or bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, honeymoons, wedding gift registries, or health & beauty services.

However, we typically do not accept businesses that offer general lifestyle or post-wedding services like roofing, windows, real estate, or financial advising. These may be relevant to newlyweds, but they fall outside the scope of what our attendees are looking for.

If your business isn’t wedding-specific, participation is considered on a case-by-case basis, and you're welcome to apply, but in many cases, the answer is no.

The attendee list is a key benefit reserved exclusively for participating exhibitors. It is not available for purchase and is never sold or shared with non-exhibitors.

Please be aware: If you receive an email or message offering to sell a list of our attendees, it is a scam. These types of fraudulent offers circulate within the event industry from time to time. The only legitimate attendee list comes directly from us—and it’s only provided to our official exhibitors after the show.

We promote the show through social media, Google ads, billboards, Spotify, radio, and postcards placed at vendor storefronts. Facebook and Instagram are our most active platforms, but we use a mix of digital, print, and in-person marketing to reach engaged couples wherever they are.

We set aside about 25% of our total booth sales specifically for show advertising. It’s the kind of reach that’s tough for any one business to achieve alone but by pooling the resources of all our vendors, we’re able to create a marketing campaign that drives real results and gets couples through the doors.
