Wedding shows, from the largest weekend-long event to a half day at your local hotel, are the perfect place for your church to meet couples and demonstrate just how much you would like to welcome them for their wedding. But the highly commercialised environment of a wedding show can be intimidating- how can the church compete with everything that other venues have to offer? This half day interactive workshop will give you all the help you need to run an effective and attractive stand, as well as time to share ideas with others involved in this work.

WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?

• Anyone who wants to welcome more couples to marry at their church.
• Those already running church stands at wedding shows who want to share ideas.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• Why it's vital that the church has a stand at wedding shows.
• The mission opportunities of wedding show stands; how it's not just about getting more wedding bookings.
• Presentation, presentation, presentation; why the appearance of your stand matters, and how to make sure it's up to scratch.
• Who should staff your wedding show stand, and what they will need to do whilst they are there.
• The questions couples always ask, and how you can answer them.
• Ideas for what you need on your wedding show stand.
• How to promote your presence at a show, both to couples and the wider community.
