What our exhibitors have to say…
We’ve had an absolutely fantastic weekend. In total we’ve signed 502 registrations which is worth a staggering £1.7m to the business with the average value of a gift list being £2,800. The calibre of visitor to this show is perfect for John Lewis and this must be credited in part to the strength of the highly visible marketing campaign. We can’t wait to come to Earls Court in autumn! Jane Winskill, Gift List & Export for Peter Jones | The show was very relevant for us its great for promoting Coast by Appointment. We have made lots of bookings and it has been very successful for brand awareness and educating people about the collections going forward. Its a good show with excellent cross sections for Bridesmaids, MOTB, and Brides themselves. The brand sits well in the Boutique area and the catwalk has been amazing. General organisation of the show has been excellent and very easy. Jenny Knight, Coast, By Appointment |
| The National Wedding Shows are so busy, Saturday especially. The PR and marketing in the build up to the show is fantastic. We have seen girls from all over the country - from Plymouth to Hull. The overall mix of visitors has been fantastic. Polly Packer, House of Fraser | The National Wedding Show is absolutely fantastic, full of wonderful suppliers and inspirational ideas, but most of all lots of happy, happy brides. Thea Darricote, Retail Editor Conde Nast Brides |
There’s been fantastic footfall at the show, especially on Saturday. We’ve spoken to over 5000 people. Aaran Reynolds, Youngs Hire | I have been highly impressed with the NEC show, the quality and quantity of bookings has been great for us.

The NWS has been great and we’ve been extremely busy with lots of enquiries being made. We have been doing shows for over the last 10 years and we always do very well out of the NWS. Enquiries come in anything up to a year after having done a show. Ian Pickering, Storybook Weddings Ltd | This show has been the best show ever. We have been doing the show since 2007 but always at the Autumn shows. This is our first Spring show and we are delighted we opted to do it. We will be booking for both shows from now on. The organisation has been excellent. Jo Nicholson, Wedding Paraphernalia |
| This has been our best ever show. We have taken the same amount of orders on Friday as we normally do across the entire 3 days. It’s so exciting to be here and to be doing so well. We have doubled our stand size too. Rachel Simpson, Managing Director Rachel Simpson Shoes | This is our first year at the show as we launched in November. It has been a great eye opener to the wedding market. This is our first large show and we have found it absolutely brilliant. We have had to call extra help in as it has been so busy for us! Kim Herbrig, The Wedding Community |
Amazing, really happy with the response at the show. It has definitely raised the standard set on previous shows. We have had excellent press exposure and a much better foot fall. We will be at Birmingham and will be back here next season! Paul Fletcher, High Roller | It has been a fabulous show! It is our first time here. We usually do the designer wedding show but this is much better! So much more vibrant here and there is an excellent quality of stands and visitors. Overall we have had an amazing amount of interest very pleased! We have had enquiries for big expensive weddings. Mary Jane Vaughan, Mary Jane Vaughan Flowers |
