Now in its 18th year, The Premier Hertfordshire Wedding Fair returns to The Alban Arena, St Albans on Sunday 21 March 2027. Widely regarded as one of the most popular and established wedding fairs in Hertfordshire, it is the perfect spring date for couples planning a wedding in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, London and beyond.

This inspiring spring wedding fair brings together up to 70 quality exhibitors, including talented photographers, wedding venues, caterers, bars, wedding planners, florists, bridalwear specialists, stylists, entertainers and creative suppliers with ideas you may not find at other wedding fairs in the county.

Whether you are newly engaged, searching for the perfect wedding venue or adding the all-important finishing touches, this is a chance to meet the people behind the services, see ideas in person and make confident plans for your celebration.

The Alban Arena provides a lively and exciting setting for the fair. Its theatre stage gives wedding entertainers the opportunity to perform, allowing visitors to experience live music, entertainment and show-stopping acts rather than simply reading about them on a stand.
