About the Show

Founded in 1986 by Paul Beardmore, the Winchester Bridal Expo is the longest-running bridal show in the Valley. Known for its excellent management and ability to attract large numbers of brides, the Expo offers wedding vendors an affordable way to showcase their services directly to couples actively seeking them. In 2018, Michelle's Main Event took over production of the Expo, with a focus on continuing to deliver the best show in the Shenandoah Valley.

​

As a local wedding professional, we understand the importance of receiving a good return on your investment. That's why we limit the number of vendors in each business category.
