Looking to see the best and freshest wedding vibes on the rack? The Chippewa Valley has a number of bridal fairs, which are a great way to meet vendors firsthand, check out the latest fashions, sample food, win prizes, and much more.

EAU CLAIRE WEDDING FAIRS
The Eau Claire Wedding Fair hosts two events: the Winter Wedding Fair, which will run 11am to 3pm Sunday, Feb. 18; and the Eau Claire Wedding Fair & Women’s Expo, slated for Sunday, Sept. 22. Both events are at The Lismore Hotel in downtown Eau Claire, and feature 100 business exhibits and more than 1,000 guests. At the Winter Wedding Fair, expect booths featuring everyone you’ll need for your wedding day – from entertainment and photography to flowers, bridal wear, and venues – as well as businesses that help make every day special for women. More than $5,000 in door prizes will be available, as will tours of The Lismore itself. Tickets are $10 (plus convenience fee) in advance, and are sold based on timed admission. If all the time slots don’t sell out, tickets will be available at the door for $15. Learn more online at ecweddingfair.com.
