Hochzeitstage Dortmund

The HOCHZEITSTAGE in Dortmund fair is the key event for anyone planning a wedding who doesn’t want to leave anything to chance. As one of the largest information and sales fairs on the topic of weddings in Germany, it offers engaged couples an outstanding opportunity to prepare thoroughly, personally, and in style for their big day.

The event highlight takes place once a year in January at the modern Messezentrum Dortmund – centrally located, easy to reach, and situated in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, a region where wedding culture and vibrant diversity come together.

The fair is organized by the experienced AVR Messe- und Veranstaltung GmbH, which has successfully established this concept in several German cities. As a result, HOCHZEITSTAGE is not only a local event, but also a well-known fair with regional and national appeal. In Dortmund, however, it holds a particularly special status – as a meeting place for couples from the region and far beyond.

At its core, the fair presents current trends and innovations from every area of the wedding world: from bridal and menswear with exclusive fashion shows, to wedding rings, jewelry and accessories, all the way to venues, catering, event services, and décor. Professional service providers in photography, videography, music, entertainment, dance, floristry, styling, beauty, wellness, and travel planning showcase how uniquely a wedding can be designed.

A particularly attractive feature: many products and services can be tested, ordered, or purchased directly at the fair – often with special trade-show discounts and personal consultation from the exhibitors.

Whether it’s an elegant vintage car ride to the registry office, creative stationery, or the perfect wedding cake – at HOCHZEITSTAGE Dortmund, visitors will find all relevant providers in one place. A varied supporting program with live musical performances, interactive activities, and demonstrations creates an authentic trade-show atmosphere and memorable impressions.

The exhibitors represent a wide range of industries – from fashion and jewelry to gastronomy, travel, and event management, as well as legal and financial services. The fair is aimed at future bridal couples, wedding planners, family members, and anyone involved in organizing unforgettable celebrations.

Messe Dortmund impresses not only with its modern architecture and excellent facilities, but also with its superb connections to public transport as well as to major road and rail networks. This ensures a stress-free visit from a logistical standpoint as well.

For anyone who wants to plan their wedding stylishly, efficiently, and with maximum inspiration, HOCHZEITSTAGE Dortmund is simply unmissable – arguably the most emotional wedding fair in Germany.

The Hochzeitstage in Dortmund took place from Saturday, 17. January to Sunday, 18. January 2026.
