We're still smiling from an amazing 2016 show which was hosted at Quonquont Farm on October 16. This year's show was even more beautiful than our inaugural event and, with the additional of the tented patio, included ten more of the best established and emerging Western Massachusetts wedding pros. Couples have been telling us, "We had so much fun at the show," "We loved meeting all the local vendors," and, "Thank you so much for the curated selection at Valley Wed!" If you missed this year's show, you can still find our vendors here...and there's always next year! We hope you enjoy these highlights. Photos were generously offered by Sandra Costello Photography. A perfect fall day in New England. Tanya Costigan Events did an incredible job designing the entryway decor including all the flowers, props and chalkboard calligraphy. Mainely Drafts Horse and Carriage offered complimentary horse and carriage rides, always a show favorite. Attendees enjoyed the delights of the season. Live music filled the barn all afternoon from Classic Wedding Ensembles, Claire Dacey of Simple Gifts Event Music and Annika Amstutz and Daniel Plane. Rob Alberti's Event Services added the perfect lighting accents for the barn. Big Wheel Press offered custom wine tag hangers with their traditional letterpress! Rev. Hannah Grace of Grace Ceremonies and Coordinator of Valley Wed. Thanks to all our vendors for being a part of the show, and to everyone who came out on Sunday to meet us. Happy wedding planning!

Not only does the Daily Hampshire Gazette's Fall Bridal Supplement have a nice spotlight on Valley Wed, but it's chock full of features with our wedding pros including show coordinator Rev.

Local expo returns for 2nd year |
It's pretty simple, actually. No cake dives, crazy music or convention centers. Just real relationships with the best wedding vendors in the Pioneer Valley. We had a lot of fun planning the show together and our inaugural event was a terrific success. We decided I would carry on the torch as coordinator this year and Tiffany will participate as an enthusiastic vendor; in her words, "cheering Hannah on the whole way." |
