Forget the cliché of wedding expos being all lace, cake, and glam. This year, Uganda’s biggest wedding showcase the Bride & Groom Expo 2025 is taking love stories far beyond the honeymoon.
Running until Sunday, June 29 at the UMA Multipurpose Hall in Kampala, this year’s edition is built around a bold and refreshing theme “Beyond ‘I Do’.
Building a Lifetime Together.” It’s a reminder that while a wedding lasts a day, a marriage is built over decades and it deserves just as much planning, investment, and inspiration.
“The wedding day is magical, but it’s just Day One,” says Lorraine Tukahirwa, Head of Marketing and Communications at Vision Group. “‘Beyond I Do’ means bringing couples the tools, services, and inspiration they need for all the days, months, and years after the celebration ends.”
More Than Just Wedding Planning
While you’ll still find the essentials Uganda’s top wedding photographers, floral designers, bridal houses, and dream venues the Expo has widened its lens. Now, it caters to couples looking to build something lasting, with exhibitors and experts focused on everything from home-building to financial planning, family health, and even digital lifestyle solutions.
