In order to maintain our category limits, you may only exhibit in one category. For example, venues, dj’s and planners often bring photobooths which exceeds our category limit. If you’d like to exhibit in multiple categories, there is a $150 surcharge for each additional category.

When you arrive to the show to setup there will be layout diagram, as well as #’s on each booth.

Hydro is available wherever possible, if you need hydro please let us know ASAP. *There is a small fee for Hydro at the KW, Hamilton &Oakville Expo. Niagara will be arranged directly with the venue.

Food trucks are welcome to attend the Wedding Expos, they will fall under the catering category. The unique feature of Food Trucks are their mobile kitchens, these will be allowed to park in a prominent location outside of the Wedding Expo Venue (just like a Limo). Food truck operators will have a booth assigned to them inside the expo show floor. As with all caterers, Food truck operators can bring samples of their food to their booths for Expo attendees to try.
As mobile kitchens, food truck operators are welcome to cook their food on their trucks before and during the Expo. However because of various city Bylaws and venue regulations food trucks will NOT be permitted to sell food from their trucks or at their expo booths, only free samples can be provided.

No, unfortunately we don’t allow booth sharing so your baker, photographer, decorator, etc would not be allowed.

No, discounts are not available. We’ve already striped the cost of the booth down to it’s lowest point, then added in your tables, chairs, hydro (where applicable), wifi, and anything else we could think of. Our all-in-one pricing helps us keep our booth price low and vendor experience high. Unfortunately, if we start cutting the price, we have to start cutting the services.

Not all locations have carts available to transport items to booths. Please plan accordingly.

Dollys/carts usually run between $30 and $80 at Home Hardware or similar store and are worth every penny!
