Are Wedding Fairs Worth Your Time?
For the wedding industry and couples getting ready to tie the knot, wedding fairs are a big deal every year! As a wedding photographer in Dublin, couples often ask me if the local wedding fairs are worth checking out.
When it comes to wedding fairs, I’d highly recommend visiting at least one or two. To maximise your time, however, it is essential to arrive at every event with a strategy.
Ready to get inspired?
Here’s everything that you need to know about getting the most out of your next wedding fair.
What to Do Before a Wedding Fair
To maximise the time that you spend at a bridal fair, come ready for a long day out! Bring an oversized bag that you can fill up with goodies. Wedding fair vendors have giveaways and brochures that you’ll definitely want to grab and take home.
You will be on your feet all day so wear comfortable walking shoes. A lot of wedding fairs have dresses to try on so wear clothes that are easy to change in and out of. And be sure to bring heels similar to what you’ll wear to the wedding! This will give you a better impression of how each dress would potentially look.

Wedding Showcase at Luttrellstown Castle Resort
Special occasions deserve magical surroundings, and the historic grounds of Luttrellstown Castle provide the perfect backdrop for that unforgettable big day.
That is why we are so delighted to invite you to our wedding showcase on Mon, 6 Jan 2020, 20:30 GMT. So you can see for yourself – prepare to be wowed.
On arrival, you'll be served hot refreshments and have the option of attending a guided tour of the grounds, or to explore the resort at your own leisure. Private tours, with our dedicated Wedding Team Heather & Joanne, can also be arranged on the day. It's every bit as good as it sounds.
As a privately owned estate, Luttrellstown Castle Resort offers what so few other venues can: a bespoke experience, set off by the most stunning backdrop imaginable. The Castle offers 12 beautifully appointed bedrooms (20 from April 2020), an impressive library and two breathtaking ballrooms.
The Van Stry accommodates up to 120 guests, while the Kentian can accommodate an additional 60. Both will be set for a wedding party, so you can visualise your own very special day.
At Luttrellstown, we pride ourselves on the quality of the food prepared and presented by our excellent culinary team. You can also look forward to sampling some specially prepared canapés and mini desserts, little tasters of what's to come.
We take pride in ensuring that every tiny detail is taken care of, that your every wish becomes a reality and that even your highest expectations are surpassed. Our Wedding Team will be available to discuss any questions you may have and to share her exhaustive knowledge and experience in how to turn your special day into a real-life fairytale.
