This is THE event to bring your fiancé and family (Heck, bring the entire wedding party if you like – it’s time to celebrate!!).

With its upbeat and lively atmosphere, you will be guaranteed to receive a friendly greeting from our team on arrival. Get ready to be welcomed into an event where you will find absolutely bloomin’ everything you need to plan your big day… With a fully accessible venue, we’ve set the day up so you get to plan your very special day, together.

The BSWWF team have worked their darn butts off to bring together many truly incredibly talented Wedding Businesses from across the Southwest. So whether you are getting married locally or traveling to the Southwest for your wedding, we promise, we’ve got you covered!
