After its fantastically successful launch in February 2015, the team at Plymouth Pavilions are proud to announce their third BIG DAY Wedding Show is back on Sunday 18th February 2018. As ever they are committed to bringing together couples and their ideal wedding suppliers.
Throughout the day long extravaganza there will be three spectacular catwalk shows, demonstrations, a vintage and inspiration area, competitions, entertainment, and Orange Chilli Catering & Events will be providing a tasty “wedding inspired” menu throughout the day in our café for visitors to enjoy!

Organiser Kim Downer is brimming with excitement about the third show and said: “To date we have had over 1600 visitors attend our event and I’ve received some great feedback from both visitors and exhibitors. We want this event to be the best and the biggest Wedding Show in the area. We’ll have well over 100 specialist wedding suppliers including Prudence Gowns, Eden Project, Focus Images and the fabulous Titley Green Events, and tickets are already on sale.”

As well as many exciting new stands and some old favourites, this coming year The Big Day Wedding Show has again decided to support The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation. Naomi said, “We are thrilled to be the Big Day Wedding Shows chosen charity again for their February 2018 Show. Being in the West Country we often feel like we miss out on BIG wedding shows but this one really puts Plymouth on the map which is fantastic. It is great to bring together the exceptionally talented wedding suppliers in this area so that South West brides & grooms can get the best for their money. We’ll also be including our range of gowns in a very special catwalk. We really look forward to meeting with brides, grooms and suppliers from around the area.”
