Paradise Weddings & Travel“For the past 4 years I’ve benefited both personally and professionally from working with The Wedding Guys® team. I admire how their team listens to my ideas as a vendor and brings those idea to life. Their creativity is unmatched.”
“As a Travel Designer, I’ve made countless connections at the Honeymoon & Destination Wedding Showcase®. The diversity of travel vendors at this show is truly a strength. It attracts couples who are seriously considering planning a destination wedding or honeymoon. They qualify themselves before even entering that section of the show, saving time in the planning process and ultimately helping us to best meet the needs of the client.”

Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington“The Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington has partnered with The Wedding Guys® by attending shows as well as advertising through social media and print for many years. We have seen so many benefits including being able to get in front of brides, learning about the trends and staying in touch with the wedding community in the Twin Cities. The staff will assist with anything you need and stays in touch. They have created beautiful backdrops which they store between shows. This has made our booth a great success and has been such a convenience, we now only have to bring collateral and no décor. The Wedding Guys® really knows how to be a true partner.”
