aturing a select group of vendors from a wide range of categories (from stylists to venues and bakers to dress-makers), the fair will serve couples starting to book their wedding vendors, as well as those looking to add some handmade details to their event. Those planning creative, eco-conscious, shoestring, high art or deep culture affairs will find inspiration and like minds at The Big Day. In addition to traditional wedding vendors (venues, photographers, catering, etc.) The Big Day will feature crafters and artists who make a variety of wedding accoutrements, like jewelry, letterpress invitations, handmade décor, accessories and more. Couples can book a wedding photographer at one booth, taste wedding cake at the booths of pastry chefs, or purchase handmade elements on the spot from artists and crafters with a flair for styling events. The Big Day will also include models featuring handmade attire, DIY demos, live music, local breweries, giveaways for ticket-holders and a swag bag for the first 100 couples. The Big Day believes in marriage equality and joyfully welcomes all couples joining together in love and family!
