Westpoint Wedding Extravaganza, October 2026: My Highlights

I’ve been exhibiting at the Wedding Extravaganza at Westpoint, Exeter, since October 2019. I’m there twice a year, and it’s one of my favourite weekends in the wedding calendar.

October’s show was a special one. The arena looked absolutely fantastic, the atmosphere was amazing, and the couples were buzzing with all the inspiration around them. The organisers welcomed close to 2,000 visitors, including just over 500 brides-to-be.

If you’re planning a wedding in Devon or Cornwall and haven’t been yet, here’s a little taste of what you’ll find.

Say hello at my stand

My stand is where I get to slow down, chat with couples and hear about their plans. I always bring a selection of albums so you can feel the paper, turn the pages and see how a whole day’s story comes together. There are handouts to take home too, so you can look through everything properly later with a cup of tea.

It’s the part of the show I love most. Every couple has a different story, and hearing it is where great wedding photos really start.

The suppliers that caught my eye

The Bridal Box

The Bridal Box is always busy, and it’s easy to see why. Their designer dresses draw a crowd every show, and when their models line up together it’s a real showstopper.

Mandy’s Classic Cakes

Cakes galore! Mandy’s Classic Cakes had a stand full of tiers, colours and flavours, dressed in warm autumn tones. Whatever style you have in mind, you’ll find ideas here.

F3 Design

F3 Design showed how much difference styling makes, with long tables, soft drapes and floral centrepieces. It’s a lovely way to picture your own wedding breakfast.

Guess Events

Guess Events had a pick and mix charcuterie bar, which is such a fun idea for an evening food station. Your guests can graze, chat and help themselves.

Rum-n-Gin Bar

Is there anything more charming than a bar in a horsebox? Rum-n-Gin Bar looked beautiful, styled with flowers and bunting. It would be right at home at a barn or garden wedding.

A pizza van in an American school bus

And then there was a bright yellow American school bus serving pizza. Evening food doesn’t get much more fun than that, and it would make for some great photos.

Portable Putts

Portable Putts brought a full mini golf course into the arena. It’s a great way to keep guests entertained between the ceremony and the speeches.

Lakemoor Alpacas of Dartmoor (and some very fluffy sheep)

The animals are always a hit. Lakemoor Alpacas of Dartmoor were there, and alpacas at a wedding make for some of the most joyful, unposed photos you’ll ever see. There were some wonderfully fluffy black-faced sheep too.

Why go to a wedding show?

It’s always a good show, with lots of suppliers for couples to get inspiration from. A few tips if you’re going for the first time:

• Bring your partner, or a friend. It’s much more fun to share ideas as you go.
• Have your date and venue to hand, even if they’re not fixed yet. Suppliers can tell you straight away if they’re free.
• Take photos of the stands you love. It’s easy to forget who was who by the end of the day.
• Don’t feel you have to book on the day. Pick up the handouts, go home and take your time.

The next show: 27 and 28 February 2027

The next Wedding Extravaganza at Westpoint is on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February 2027, and I’ll be there again. Come and find my stand, look through the albums and tell me all about your plans.

Can’t wait until February? Have a look at my wedding photography or get in touch for a relaxed chat.

Every Moment, Every Detail, Forever Yours.
