  How to Get the Best Out of a Wedding Expo I recently attended the Goods Shed Wedding Expo in Toowoomba as a wedding vendor. I've been to many wedding expos over the years. They're a great opportunity to meet couples face-to-face and catch up with other wedding vendors. They're always a lot of fun.
