THE IMMERSIVE WEDDING SHOWCASE
Styled Shoot. Meet Wedding Expo.
What happens when six collaborative design teams each transform a room inside one of Washington's most beautiful historic venues?
We're about to find out.
This September, we're creating The Immersive Wedding Showcase, an experience designed to blur the line between a styled shoot and a traditional wedding expo.
Instead of rows of vendor booths, each room will be transformed into a by a collaborative team of wedding professionals. Couples won't just browse vendors. They'll walk through immersive wedding environments designed to inspire.
Transform a room.
Meet engaged couples.
Create unforgettable content.
Why Participate?
Meet engaged couples in an intimate setting.
Collaborate with your favorite wedding professionals.
Create editorial-quality content during dedicated setup day.
Showcase your work in a fully designed environment, not behind a booth.
Be part of a curated wedding experience unlike anything else in Washington.
How It Works
We are accepting six Design Teams, each responsible for transforming one space within Page House.
Each team selects its own collaborators and creates a cohesive wedding concept. Teams determine how to divide the investment, assign responsibilities, and design their room.
Don't already have a full team? Individual professionals are welcome to apply, and we'll do our best to connect you with other participating vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many vendors can be on a Design Team?
There is no required number. Most teams will likely include 4–8 professionals.
Does every Design Team need a Team Captain?
Yes. Each Design Team must designate one Team Captain who will serve as the primary point of contact throughout the planning process. The Team Captain is responsible for submitting the final application, coordinating communication with Page House, payment to Page House, and sharing event updates with their team. How your team divides responsibilities and expenses internally is entirely up to you.
DO I NEED TO KNOW ALL TEAM MEMBERS TO APPLY?
No. Only the team captain needs to be on the preliminary application.
Can I participate if I don't have a team?
Yes. We'd love to hear from you and will do our best to connect individual vendors with others looking to collaborate.
Can more than one florist or photographer participate?
Absolutely. Multiple businesses within the same category may participate, but each room should feel cohesive and intentionally designed.
Who provides décor and furnishings?
Each Design Team is responsible for designing, furnishing, and styling its assigned room.
Can products be sold during the event?
No. The focus is on inspiration, relationship building, and future bookings rather than retail sales.
Are there timed tickets?
Yes. Couples will attend in scheduled entry windows to create a comfortable experience and encourage meaningful conversations.
Who attends?
Engaged couples, wedding planners, and invited industry professionals.
