Vendor testimonials
“Attendance was excellent, and the Today’s Bride staff was very accommodating. It provided us with the most qualified leads in all the years we’ve participated.”
– C-Town Entertainment
“Today’s Bride wedding shows compared to other shows like ACS you can not even compare the difference. Today’s Bride brings a quality bride and doesn’t need to try and advertise being the “Largest Wedding Show” in town. On average from doing both shows Today’s Bride we average 3-4 times more bookings with Today’s Bride compared to other shows. Other shows hire random staff who do not know what is going on and haven’t built a relationship with the vendors. We appreciate all the work that Today’s Bride show does and how friendly the staff is.”
– First Choice Photography
“Tall Oaks has attended Today’s Bride expos for a few years now, and they’ve become an integral part of our business in attracting engaged couples to our venue and spreading awareness of our offerings. Their small-business structure makes it easy to communicate with any contact you need; their personable, outgoing, and family-oriented team has done everything for us from assisting in putting up our trade show booth in a pinch, to sharing a funny email during the workday, to making sure we feel comfortable with every tiny detailed aspect of our sponsorship of them.”
– Tall Oaks Resort
“Since the show a week ago, I have put in approximately 30 quotes and booked 15 tastings. It has been a great turnout!”
– City Barbeque and Catering
“The turnout was great! We made 40-45 appointments in the 5 hours!”
– CLE Bride by Expressions
“Participating in the Today’s Bride Show at the IX Center was a milestone moment for Nature Valley Lodge. As our first public introduction, the experience exceeded our expectations — we had meaningful conversations with over 50 couples and are thrilled about the interest and upcoming site tours. The energy was fantastic, and the weather worked in our favor by boosting attendance. We also enjoyed connecting with new vendors and reconnecting with industry friends. We’re grateful for the opportunity and are already looking forward to the next show!”

Exhibiting at Today’s Bride Wedding Show
Have questions about exhibiting at a Today’s Bride Wedding Show? You’re not alone. Whether it’s your first bridal show or you’re looking to get more out of your investment, these frequently asked questions are here to help you feel confident, prepared, and ready to make the most of your Northeast Ohio bridal show booth experience.
How much does a bridal show booth cost at a Today’s Bride Wedding Show?
Booth pricing varies by show, size, and location (Cleveland or Akron), but options are available for businesses at every stage. Many vendors find just one or two bookings cover their full investment.
We offer a variety of booth spaces including:
- 10’x10′ or 10’x20′ Furnished Booths
- 10’x10′ or 10’x20′ Naked Booths
- 5’x10′ Table Top Booths
- Non-Exhibitor Packages
If you are interested to learn more about each booth option, please email [email protected] or fill out the contact form below so we can help guide you in the right direction!
Are bridal shows worth it for wedding vendors?
Yes. Bridal shows are one of the most effective ways to meet engaged couples face-to-face, build trust quickly, and generate high-quality leads in a single day. Instead of competing for attention online, you’re having real conversations, answering questions in the moment, and creating a personal connection that makes couples more likely to remember you, and book you.
How many leads can I expect from a bridal show?
Most vendors meet hundreds of engaged couples at a Today’s Bride show, along with receiving a full list of registered attendees for follow-up after the event. Our January show is the largest, with 2,000 engaged couples attending and over 5,000 visitors. Our smallest show in November welcomes 400 engaged couples and 1,200 guests.
What types of vendors should exhibit at a bridal show?
Any business that serves engaged couples, including venues, photographers, DJs, caterers, florists, and planners, can benefit from exhibiting. We also partner with home, wellness, financial, and life planning businesses that offer services for couples after their weddings.
What is included with a Today’s Bride bridal show booth?
Our standard furnished booth includes pipe and drape, table and chairs, electrical access, an online listing, lead list access, and support from our team before, during, and after the show.
How do I prepare for my first bridal show?
Have a clear offer or show special that gives couples a reason to engage with you on the spot, and design your booth with strong visuals that quickly communicate what you do and why you’re different. Bring polished marketing materials (brochures, pricing guides, business cards) that are easy to take home, and set up a simple, reliable system to capture every lead, whether that’s a form, QR code, or giveaway entry.
Most importantly, come prepared to have real conversations, ask questions, and connect because that’s what turns traffic into bookings.
When should I book my bridal show booth?
As early as possible. Popular categories and prime booth locations for Cleveland and Akron shows can sell out quickly. The sooner you sign up, the longer visibility you have on TodaysBride.com with your online profile and exhibitor listing on the show website.
Will I get support from Today’s Bride as an exhibitor?
Absolutely. Our team is hands-on and here to help you succeed, from onboarding and booth prep to show day guidance and post-show follow-up. Our goal is to make sure you have a successful show.
What makes Today’s Bride different from other Ohio bridal shows?
We are a locally owned, trusted show producer focused on bringing in real, local couples who are actively planning, giving you better conversations, better leads, and better results.
How do I get started?
It’s easy to buy your booth online and secure your spot. You can also reach out to our team to learn about different options and payment plans that are available to get locked in.

“This years show was amazing! The couples that I talked to were very friendly and eager to hear more about my services. The staff were great as always.”
Tammy, Two Shall Become One Ceremonies
“You and your team run such a huge operation, and you do it with so much precision and professionalism. I think I’ve mentioned before that I used to run events for 7,000 people daily on cruise ships, so I’ve seen a fair amount of behind-the-scenes action. Watching your team handle everything so smoothly was really impressive, and I truly appreciate everything you all do.”
Ralph, Statement Limousine
