Canberra Wedding Expo




I exhibited at the Canberra Wedding Expo on the 1st of February. There was a huge turnout, I heard there was around 2000 people turn up. There were heaps of booths, especially photographers and everyone was pretty busy all day.

I created a stop-motion video of Brent and I setting up the booth, check it out here.

On the tables I had a range of Photobooks from previous weddings which were very popular. I also had brochures made up, a pull-up banner, logo on core-flute and of course the LCD TV with a rolling slideshow of images and marketing messages. On the wall I had my packages pricelist and a range of testimonials.

Was it worth it though? Always a hard question to answer. I do know that I have had a few bookings by people I saw on the day, so probably was worthwhile for me. On the other hand, the cost of a booth is a lot of clicks in Google... Also, it's hard to have an in depth conversation with people at the show because it's a very noisy environment and most people seem to be in a bit of a rush or a little overwhelmed.

I'm going to alter my booth setup for the next expo slightly, but overall I was pretty happy with how it all went.

It was just great to know about the Canberra Wedding Expo. I am sure it was inspirational for the couples who are tying the knot soon. We will also be marrying in this year so for the inspirations we would like to attend an upcoming annual wedding expo at the local event venue Atlanta.
