The firm’s all-white, seven-seater Tesla Model X with gullwing doors is the ideal way for brides or grooms to arrive at their venue in style.

There will also be a twice-daily catwalk fashion show (12pm and 3pm) displaying the latest in bridal and groomswear, a prosecco bar, prize draw and competitions for visitors to win £500 towards their own wedding from any exhibitor of their choosing.

The local wedding market is of significant importance to us and bringing together service providers at events such as this is crucial for couples planning their big day.

“It is also a great chance for industry colleagues to get together, share ideas and look ahead to another exciting year.”
