I just wanted to send you a note thanking you for organising such a beautiful magazine and expo. We had so much fun at the expo, it was professionally run, organised and the brides and family we had the chance to meet were amazing. Our brides were enthusiastic and the feedback we had from them was how great the expo was.
Thank you again for being so amazing and supportive of the Geelong business community.

The Geelong Wedding Guide Expo is the only expo that we exhibit in. It's always filled with supportive and creative suppliers that are the best of the best in the industry. The expos always draw a great crowd, it's definitely one not to be missed! The team behind the Geelong Wedding Guide have the perfect balance of being friendly, professional and well organised. They are true leaders of encouraging positive change in the industry. Their Wedding Guide Magazine has continued to push the boundaries of what's considered "normal" in the industry with a refreshing, inclusive and on trend publication that we are thrilled to be part of.
