Salon du Mariage de Valence 2027: where to stay

The Valence Wedding Fair takes over the Palais des Congrès et des Expositions Jacques Chirac on 13–14 February 2027 for two days of wedding planning. It is the largest bridal show in the Drôme-Ardèche area, bringing together more than 70 stands covering bridal gowns, groomswear, florists, photographers, caterers, wedding planners and reception venues. The 2027 edition is styled around Provence, with warm lighting and a laid-back layout that makes it easy to browse without feeling rushed. Choreographed fashion shows run twice daily (12:00 and 16:30), and couples can sit down with suppliers to compare quotes, feel fabric samples or taste menu options on the spot. The fair is designed for couples deep in planning mode who want to lock in several vendors without driving across the region. On-site catering, free parking and step-free access are available. Advance tickets cost €7, and under-18s accompanied by a parent enter free. Hotels in Valence tend to fill up fast that weekend, especially those within walking distance of the exhibition park.
