Helpful Tips for Attending Your First Bridal Show
Frequently Asked Questions About Bridal Shows
What is a Today’s Bride Wedding Show all about?
A wedding show is a fun way to spend the day with your bridal party, mom, and/or fiancé! Get answers to your questions, advice and special deals from local wedding experts, and inspiration for your big day! You may even win prizes and giveaways. This is your chance to plan your entire wedding under one roof.
How much does it cost to attend the bridal show?
General admission is $10. A discounted rate of $8 is available online only.
Your ticket includes general admission to the exhibits and features. Children ages 6 & under are free.
How can I get discounted tickets to the Today’s Bride Wedding Show?
The easiest way to save on tickets is by signing up for free at TodaysBride.com. Couples who join our planning community receive 50% off wedding show tickets, along with access to local vendor recommendations, wedding planning resources, and our weekly planning guide called The Wedding Journey to help keep you on track from “Yes!” to “I Do.”
Signing up only takes a minute and helps you get the best price on tickets before the show.
What should I bring to the bridal show?
We suggest bringing a pen & paper to take notes, your phone to add contacts and take pictures, and a calendar to make appointments. You may decide to make a deposit, so bring along your checkbook or
credit card. Knowing your wedding date and having a color scheme in mind, along with a binder filled with inspiration, can be a huge help when communicating your vision to vendors. Comfortable shoes are a must. Printed address labels with your name, phone number, email, wedding date, and venue will save your hand from cramping from the constant writing. No need to bring a bag for all your pamphlets and goodies – we provide those at the door!
What do I get with my ticket?
With your ticket admission, every engaged attendee will receive a free issue of the brand new 2026 Today’s Bride Magazine and a hand pink LOVE tote (while supplies last).
Will there be show-only discounts?
Yes! Many vendors offer exclusive promotions, giveaways, and booking incentives available only to couples attending the show. It’s one of the best ways to save money while planning your wedding. Check out the Show Specials below to see some of the discounts you’ll find.
Can I book vendors while at the show?
Absolutely. Many couples schedule consultations or even book vendors directly at the show. If you’re ready to secure vendors, attending a wedding show can help you move multiple planning decisions forward in just one day.
Is this event only for brides?
Not at all! Today’s Bride Wedding Shows are for both partners, families, and anyone helping plan the wedding. We welcome everyone involved in the planning process.
Why attend a wedding show instead of searching online?
Online research is helpful, but wedding shows allow you to meet vendors face-to-face, see their work in person, ask questions, and compare options all in one place. Many couples say attending a wedding show helped them finalize multiple vendors in just a few hours.
Why attend the Today’s Bride Wedding Show?
Today’s Bride has been helping Northeast Ohio couples plan their weddings for over 35 years through our wedding magazine, website, and bridal shows. Our events bring together trusted local vendors, inspiration, and exclusive planning resources to make wedding planning easier and more enjoyable.

From stunning floral designs and breathtaking venues to delicious cakes and talented photographers, you’ll find top wedding pros in every category at the November 22, 2026 Akron Wedding Show.
By the time you leave, you’ll feel more than just “I saw some vendors.” You’ll walk away saying, “I know what we want. I met the people we like. We have momentum.” Because when an event is set up like an experience—interactive, visually rich, fun, not just transactional—you leave feeling ready. Our goal is that couples leave smiling, excited, and one step closer to “yes” for their perfect wedding day.
