DTK Wedding Show 2026: Date Night Edition!

-

Whether you’re newly engaged or starting to piece together the details, join West Haus Studio and The Walper Hotel for a unique date night experience to help you plan your wedding. Explore the charm of Downtown Kitchener with this special collaboration between West Haus and The Walper Hotel, two venues offering unique backdrops to your wedding celebration.

Unlike a typical weekend wedding expo, this event is designed to be a relaxed, self-paced experience where you can enjoy a night out while gathering inspiration for your big day. Sample beverages, try a few food tastings, and enjoy wedding planning in a more intimate and enjoyable setting.

• Meet Curated Vendors: Connect with a thoughtfully selected group of local wedding professionals, including photographers, planners, florists, DJs, and more.
• Food and Drink: Enjoy a selection of beverages, sweet treats, hors d’oeuvres, and more
• Visual Inspiration: See setups and decorations, providing a glimpse into how your wedding could look. Gather inspiration and ideas as you visit each location.
• Live Music: Live music performances throughout the evening to set the mood as you explore each space.
• Grand Prize: One lucky couple will win the Grand Prize (see details below!)
• And More! All wrapped into a date night experience you won’t want to miss.

Plus, you'll have the chance to win our Grand Prize Date-Night Package!

• Overnight stay at The Walper Hotel, with breakfast for 2
• $50 Credit to TWH Social Restaurant

This event takes place across both West Haus Studio and The Walper Hotel, and where you begin is completely up to you. Explore both locations between 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM, moving at your own pace throughout the evening. A variety of vendors will be featured at each location.

Upon arrival, you’ll receive a tote bag with your Date Night Card, guiding you through the experience at both venues. As you meet vendors, collect stickers at each stop. Once your card is complete, return it for your chance to win the Grand Prize.
