What is Atlanta Wedding Extravaganza, and why should I go?

AWE is the ultimate wedding planning experience! Think of it as your all-access pass to the most talented wedding vendors in metro Atlanta, all under one roof! They’re ready to inspire, connect, and show you what they can do. From dreamy floral displays to cake tastings, live entertainment to custom signage, you’ll walk away with real ideas, real contacts, and real planning progress. Some attendees have even planned their wedding completely by the time they leave!

When and where is the next show?

You’ll find all the current dates, times, and venue info here. We recommend grabbing your tickets early, especially for VIP access!

Who will be there?

Top-tier wedding vendors from every category. We’re talking photographers, wedding gown and tux designers, venues, DJs, cake artists, and more. If you can dream it, you’ll meet someone at AWE who can bring it to life.

What makes AWE different from other wedding shows?

You might say WOW when you walk in, because this isn’t a show. It’s an experience. With live entertainment, interactive displays, and serious design inspiration, this is a full-on, immersive celebration of what your wedding could be. And you’ll be excited to meet our vendor community. They're the best in the business -- collaborative, creative, and committed to making your big day one-of-a-kind.

Do I need to a firm wedding date to attend?

Not ready to send save-the-dates? No worries! If you're dreaming, planning, or just curious, we’d love to see you.

What’s the difference between General Admission and VIP?

VIP is for those who want an *extra* planning experience. You'll get early entry, champagne to sip, special gifts, and some other fun surprises. Basically, you're the main character, as you should be!

Do I have to come at the entry time on my ticket?

Yes, please! Your assigned entry time helps us manage the flow so you get the best possible experience.

How do I get tickets?

What should I bring and wear?

Bring your ideas, your planning partner or besties, a list of must-meet vendors, and your wedding questions. Wear comfy shoes but you might want to dress to impress – lots of great spots to take pics at AWE! And do NOT forget a fully charged device to take notes, scan vendor info, and take shots of ideas you love. We’ll give you a bag to carry your swag from exhibitors.

Can I book vendors on the spot?

Absolutely! Many vendors offer special show-only deals or bonuses, so if you meet someone you love, go ahead and lock them in.

What’s BrideScan, and why do I need it?

BrideScan is your new planning BFF! It lets you scan a vendor’s QR code at the show and instantly collect their info. That means no flyers or business cards to sort through later. Download the app before the show and get ready to streamline your follow-up like a boss.

Are strollers allowed?

No. To best accommodate our attendees and keep clear aisle space between booths, AWE cannot accommodate strollers.

What's the Ultimate Wedding Giveaway? How can I win?

At AWE, we give away THOUSANDS of dollars in wedding prizes, curated to help make your dream wedding a reality. We’re talking photography packages, custom wedding cake, venue rental, jewelry… all the good stuff. When you attend, you automatically get entries to try to win the items you want!

Tell me about the Honeymoon Giveaway!

One lucky couple will win a dream honeymoon! All attendees are entered automatically when they register for the show, but VIPs get bonus entries. Check out the Giveaways page to find out where you lovebirds could go, for free!

What are “Happily Ever Offers”?

These are exclusive, show-only promotions and perks offered by participating vendors that can make a big difference in your budget and your big day. You’ll get a full list of who is offering what when you arrive!

What’s “Sip & Stay” all about?

If you want to turn your show experience into a mini getaway, book the Sip & Stay Package and enjoy discounted rooms at our host hotel, plus glam perks like a welcome cocktail or special treats. Perfect for “I Do” crews who want to party during the planning process!

Will there be food?

Yes there will be nibbles, but not full meals. Many of our caterers and cake artists offer tastings, and some create mocktails to sip while you stroll. Delicious and inspiring!

What if I still have questions?
