Tours Wedding Fair 2026: where to stay in October

Tours Wedding Fair (Salon du Mariage de Tours) takes over the Parc des Expositions for three days aimed at couples shaping their big day. Dress and suit designers, reception venues, caterers, decorators, photographers, entertainment providers and jewellers with wedding bands gather under one roof, making it easy to compare quotes and ask questions face to face. Bridal fashion gets its own slot on the runway: Saturday 17 October at 2pm and 5pm, and Sunday 18 at 11:30am and 3:30pm. It is the moment to see the season's looks for brides and grooms before committing. The fair blends general public and trade visitors, so it also works as a meeting point for wedding planners, photographers, florists and venue managers. It runs once a year and brings together exhibitors from Tours and across the wider region. If you are travelling in, book your hotel near the Parc des Expositions early: the fair weekend tends to overlap with other events in the city and local room supply tightens up.
