The first item on your dream wedding to-do list was to get engaged. Now that the engagement is checked off, it might seem like there is a never-ending list that lies ahead. Maybe you’ve already made some of the major decisions but need help finalizing the smaller details. During any stage of the planning process, attending a wedding expo is a must-do for engaged couples.
A wedding expo gives couples the chance to complete their planning by visiting vendors all in one location in a single day, and provides cost savings with discounts and special show promotions.
The Outer Banks Wedding Association (OBXWA) is a one-stop-shop for local, vetted Outer Banks wedding vendors representing all categories needed for a celebration. OBXWA is proud to host two annual wedding planning expos, and one is coming up at the end of this month.
The OBX Wedding Fest will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Keeper’s Galley and The Barn at Haven on the Banks, located in Nags Head, NC, on Sunday, August 28, 2022.
OBX Wedding Fest gives guests the opportunity to meet with vendors face-to-face in a more intimate setting, score discounts and samples, and have the chance to win $500 towards their Outer Banks wedding!
Tickets to the OBX Wedding Fest are $15 and can be purchased online at obxwa.com/fest or at the door for $20. A ticket grants one person admission and a chance to win the $500 door prize giveaway (to use with a Fest vendor(s) of choice!). Want to increase your chances of winning? Purchase your tickets now online! Advanced ticket holders will receive two entries into the $500 giveaway, and those who buy at the door will receive one entry.
So who will be there? Here is the rundown as of now, but please check obxwa.com/fest as new vendors are added daily. Please keep in mind that because a vendor doesn’t have something listed here does not mean they don’t have any special promotions to share with you!
