What We Do

We specialize in producing:

• Wedding shows in Albany NY
• Business shows in Albany NY

A wedding expo (or bridal show) is an in-person event where couples (engaged or soon to be engaged) can meet local vendors for their wedding all in one location. The vendors typically include:

• Wedding Venues
• Photographers and Videographers
• DJs and Entertainment
• Florists
• Planners & Coordinators
• Caterers
• Bakeries
• Rental Companies

This is a chance for individuals to speak directly with vendors, compare services, view their work and often times take advantage of exclusive attendee-only discounts from vendors. A bridal show will save couples time, money and build trust with desired vendors before the wedding day.

For wedding professionals, the wedding expo is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to showcase their skills, properties and businesses to engaged couples and individuals. This is a great way to meet customers all under one roof and in one day which saves time, money, and gives the business great exposure.

A Business Expo is a professional networking and marketing event for local businesses, entrepreneurs and service providers showcase their products and services to potential customers, partners and other businesses.

The business expo typically features businesses from around the capital region and beyond to other areas within the 518. This event is a fun, friendly and professional way to meet other business owners and customers. Businesses can look forward to networking, raising brand awareness, lead generation and building stronger connections with other businesses and prospects.

Whether you’re planning a wedding or growing a business, 518 Expos provides the platform to connect with the right people, at the right time, in the right place.
