Quiet Hour
We get it, wedding fairs can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve introduced Quirky Quiet Hour (2pm-3pm)—a dedicated, low-sensory time for those who prefer a calmer browsing experience. Expect no loud music, no harsh lights, limited crowds, and a no-pressure atmosphere. Exhibitors will only chat if you want to!
