About this Event
🖤 Event Description:
The Black Wedding Experience is more than a wedding expo — it’s a celebration of Black, multicultural love, luxury, and legacy.
We’ve partnered with the stunning Ali Events at Lakewood, an elegant, Black-owned venue in the heart of Atlanta that radiates sophistication and cultural pride. If you’re looking for a space that feels like you, one that understands the beauty, depth, and excellence of Black love — this is it. The photos simply don’t do it justice. From the moment you walk in, you’ll feel why we chose this venue: it’s modern, majestic, and made for unforgettable moments. You won’t just see it — you’ll get to experience the full aesthetics: the lighting, the layout, the flow, the photo moments. If you’re still searching for a venue, this may be the one.
💍 Ready to Say Yes to the Venue?

This is your chance to lock in a luxe Atlanta venue known for its modern elegance, flexible space, and cultural inclusivity—all while you're surrounded by inspiration.
✨ Book your dream wedding day before someone else does.
This isn’t a crowded convention center with cookie-cutter booths. This is an intentionally curated, boutique-style experience for couples who want authenticity, cultural alignment, and style at every stage of the wedding journey.
Whether you’re newly engaged, planning a vow renewal, or just dreaming of the future — you’ll find something meaningful here.
✨ What to Expect:
- 40+ hand-selected, culturally aligned and multicultural wedding vendors ready to help bring your vision to life — from fashion to florals, planners to photographers
- Real talk sessions on budgeting, marriage prep, wealth-building, intimacy, and legacy — because a beautiful wedding is just the beginning
- Interactive experiences like bouquet building, calligraphy, and tastings
- Live entertainment, food, signature cocktails, and luxury giveaways
- VIP lounge access with elevated bites, swag bags, and private vendor consultations
💍 Special for the Grooms:
We get it — expos usually aren’t made with men in mind. That ends here.
We’re including sessions just for men, from budgeting as a unit, to building generational wealth, to how to support and show up during the planning process. Whether you’re hands-on or just trying to survive the guest list—this is a space for you too.
