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?

Secure your wedding date at Ali Events at Lakewood on the spot! As our exclusive venue partner, Ali Events is offering private tours and on-site booking during the expo. 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.



Want to Showcase Your Brand at The Black Wedding Experience Expo at Ali Events at Lakewood?

If your services speak to intentional, stylish couples and align with our mission to celebrate authentic, inclusive wedding experiences—this is your moment.
