5th Annual Indie Wed wedding show & market
Getting hitched? Forget all the cookie-cutter bridal shows... Attend Indie Wed.
Indie Wed is THE alternative to traditional wedding expos. For those in the midst of wedding planning, Indie Wed offers a one stop shop for all the best wedding artisans and professionals around the country. Indie Wedis the longest running independent bridal fair in the U.S.
Imagine a bridal expo like none you’ve ever seen: where the guests are invited to mix & mingle among over 100 independent vendors on two floors in a restored billboard factory and instead of the usual stale, trade show booths, vendors set up a variety of unique & whimsical displays. Couples won't just pick up business cards but can actually shop in the marketplace, as the many of vendors & artists have their wares for sale. You'll dance to live music & tunes the DJ spins, admire tablescapes created by some of chicago’s hottest wedding pros, & nosh on both savory and sweet items from some of the best local caterers. You won’t just browse the vendors…you’ll experience them!
New this year on the third floor we have a dedicated lounge with a vintage vaudeville theme aptly dubbed the Cirque de l’Amour wedding lounge. Imagine relaxing under the big top of twinkling cafe lights and ruffled parasols or cozying up with a craft cocktail on a vintage settee. Enjoy can-can performances that will spark wonder and music that will whisk you away to a Parisian jazz lounge. Sample circus themed bites and decadent sweets before puckering up in a handmade kissing booth. Casually chat will vendors and other guests or test your skills at our carnival inspired games to win some prizes for your big day! Best yet, all these vendors are committed to being eco-friendly both professionally and personally. This lounge is a perfect retreat for both guys and gals to relax, meet cool vendors, and be inspired.
