About This Event

Welcome to Hitched 2026 – the home of “everything-wedding” in the Manawatu. This showcase event has been created to help you plan your special day with ease...

Join us in July and meet a wide range of vendors, in person, all in one location.

You may be just starting the planning process or be closer to the big day, but at Hitched – The Manawatu Wedding Showcase there will be something special for every stage of the journey – because it all starts with love...
