YOUR WEDDING STARTS HERE!  

Our Spring 2010 season of fayres is now well and truly underway, with another great day at the Village Cardiff at Coryton.  Don't forget to come along to our next fantastic fayre at Hilton Newport in Langstone (M4/J24) on February 7th, where you will see a different mix of some of the most well established and experienced wedding professionals who have been exhibiting with us for years!!

WOW!!! Our Autumn 2009 season was a fabulous success with well over 1000 brides visiting us, and all their families of course!  If you weren't able to attend and would like information about the fabulous Wedding packages on offer at the venues, contact the sales teams who are always happy to organise a show around.  All our Fayres are spectacular - of course! - bringing you the very best that South Wales has to offer when it comes to organising your big day.   Our Associate Events are held in slightly smaller venues who offer amazing Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions with a very personal touch.  The events focus on the venue and local suppliers, but are always as enjoyable and well presented as our Wedding Fayres.  Please check out our Fayre Dates page which shows this season's Fayres which will take place from Swansea to Chepstow in 2010, so have a look and start planning which ones you will be attending!

You've got engaged, how exciting!  Now you can start your planning - the best venue; dream dress; beautiful bouquet; delicious cake; stunning photos; evening entertainment, you must be 'blown away' with the vast array of goods and services available to you.  An excellent way to organise your big day is to visit a Val Slater Wedding Fayre where you will find everything you need in one place, and as we have been organising Fayres in South Wales since 1992, you  can be sure to find the best selection available.  We don't need to make 'claims' about our Wedding Fayres, our reputation does that for us!

 

This is what some of the brides thought about our fayres last season:  "fantastic" NP - Bridgend "very professional" CG - Swansea "lots of choice" HT - Burry Port "fantastic day" EM -Gilfach Goch "good selection - one of the better fayres" LJ - Swansea.  If you haven't already registered to receive details of our Autumn 2009 fayres, please send us your name, address and wedding date and we'll make sure you get them, we don't want you going somewhere else now do we? that would be a big mistake!

The first Val Slater Wedding Fayre in Wales was organised in June 1992. Since then over 175 Wedding Fayres have been organised under the Val Slater banner providing excellent Fayres with a friendly atmosphere, in quality wedding venues throughout South Wales.  No one else can make that claim! "nicely set out and friendly advice" HB - Beddau   "first fayre we've been to, exhibition staff very helpful and informative" NE - Newport

 

Our 'Bride to be Club', was established in 1998, but operates in a slightly different way today with the launch of www.weddingfayreswales.co.uk.  The site has now been updated for you, take a look, you know all the people featured will be delighted to hear from you!

Every Wedding Fayre organised by Val Slater Exhibitions since 1992 is unique; you will never see the same mix of exhibitors twice, so it is a good idea to come to more than one Wedding Fayre when you are planning your celebrations as this will give you an excellent choice and plenty of ideas from around South Wales and the South West of England."it was helpful for making final decisions " VC - Hengoed.  All our exhibitors are carefully selected to provide you - the Happy Couple and your families - with everything you could need to organise your special day down to the finest detail.  Most of the exhibitors offer special discounts if you book at the Wedding Fayre or within a certain time afterwards, so it's a good idea to have a look around the whole Wedding Fayre to see what is on offer.  As well as the usual – photographers; cakes; cars; gowns; florists etc. we always try to surprise you with something a little different, to ensure that your day is just perfect and an occasion that everyone will be talking about for years to come."Has given us both some great ideas for our wedding day" DB - Great Dunmow, Cambs

All Val Slater Wedding Fayres are open from 11.30am until 4.00pm and admission is free!

When was the last time you heard these words - "excellent; superb; fab?" 

The last time you came to a Val Slater Wedding Fayre, of course!  There really is no fayre

like a Val Slater Wedding Fayre.

We do not have fashion shows, we offer something far better - there is always a private room set aside for you to try on your dream dress or accessories.  Why not make a day of it?  You are always welcome to visit the hotel's facilities, have a relaxing coffee while looking over all the information you've gathered, before going back into the fayre a second time to make some all important bookings, then pop into the bar to celebrate with a nice glass of wine!  Have some lunch in the restaurant or bar (booking may be adviseable) all that planning is bound to work up an appetite.  One thing is for sure, a visit to a Val Slater Wedding Fayre, with a superb variety of friendly, experienced wedding professionals waiting to talk to you is a must for everyone involved in the planning of your big day!

Hi,  I wonder if you could tell me the name of the magician at the St David’s Hotel Wedding Fayre.  Somehow, after collecting all the information I can’t find his card and I am desperate to contact him. It was a fab fayre; so much for thinking I had everything organised, after taking details, I have booked Des Johnston the Toastmaster and have just contacted Lesley at Cakes For All Occasions to order one of her beautiful creations – and my wedding is on April 26th THIS YEAR!!  I was very lucky to be able to add to the day at this late stage and am hoping to make it a hat-trick with the magician! It really would be magic!

If you could let me know, I would be most appreciative.   Thank you very much, kind regards   Katie (and James)
