Every year, Wedding Festivals founders Marc and Colleen Wheeler produce eight shows in North and South Carolina. They assist more than 3,500 brides- and grooms-to-be annually, and they collaborate with more than 300 wedding-related businesses to ensure each show brims with both quality and luxury. Attendees can browse a featured marketplace wherein the exhibitors and vendors display their many and varied offerings, from cake toppers to jewelry, all while being exposed to what's trending in the industry, expert insight, and creative inspiration.

The Wheelers have been producing bridal shows like this since 1990, and over that time, Marc and Colleen have expanded their expertise by working on every level of the wedding industry. Plus, Colleen's background in theater production helps infuse each show with a little extra pizzazz. All their hard work has turned Wedding Festivals into an award-winning operation and a recipient of the Director's Cup, the highest international award in the bridal show expo industry.
