“Bride and Bliss Expo is more than an event—it is a celebration of love, creativity, and community. And we’re glad to finally bring it to Davao,” said Monina Evangelista, President and CEO of MRE Events and Marketing, Inc.

Why Davao?

Evangelista explained that Davao City was chosen as the venue because of its growing reputation as a hub for weddings and large-scale events. Unlike Manila, where bridal fairs happen monthly, Davao presents an untapped yet vibrant market eager for fresh platforms to highlight its talents and suppliers.

“We believe that it is time for Davao and the rest of the Mindanao region to level up in promoting their products, services, and showcasing the talent that you all have here,” she added.

The curated selection of vendors ensures that couples and event organizers will meet only legitimate and trusted suppliers, further elevating the credibility and quality of the event.
