Wedding Festival Planning Tips

Celebrate 20 years of wedding excellence with us at the Modesto Wedding Festival, hosted at the iconic DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Modesto.

For two decades, this event has brought together the region’s most talented and trusted wedding professionals — and this year, we gather once again in one of downtown Modesto’s most distinguished venues. Located on the 10th floor, the DoubleTree offers panoramic views of the city, creating a breathtaking backdrop and an atmosphere designed to elevate your love.


With its grand ballroom and refined interiors, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel has long been home to Modesto’s most illustrious celebrations. It is a place where elegance meets tradition, where unforgettable receptions unfold, and where couples begin the next chapter of their story in style.


Inside the Modesto Wedding Festival, you will meet an exceptional collection of the area’s finest wedding providers — from couture bridal fashion and masterful photographers to visionary planners, floral designers, entertainment professionals, and culinary experts. Each exhibitor is selected for their excellence, creativity, and commitment to crafting extraordinary celebrations.


This is more than a wedding show. It is a grand and sophisticated experience — a celebration of 20 years of connecting couples with the very best in the industry. Step into a day filled with inspiration, refinement, and possibility, and begin planning a wedding that is as remarkable as your love story.

Your Wedding Dress, Your Way

By Kimberly Vaughan, International Wedding Festival • September 15, 2021
Brides, are you tired of cookie-cutter wedding dress styles? Been to a bridal boutique where everything seems to look the same? Well, today, we have incredible news for you! So, if you’re a bride on the hunt for the perfect wedding dress that fits your own unique style, stay tuned. Maggie Sottero, one of the top wedding dress designers globally, is unveiling its Spring 2022 bridal collection, and it features tons of accessories that allow you to design your own unique wedding day look. So, if you’re looking for a wedding dress that’s a little more you, the Maggie Sottero “Personalize It” options are the way to go. When it comes to wedding dress shopping, having options to customize or personalize a gown totally to fit your style is a game-changer. Many brides find themselves liking many attributes of a wedding dress style, but it just isn’t perfect. For example, maybe you love the color, silhouette, and embellishments, but it’s strapless, which you hate. For ages, there weren’t many options for customizing a wedding dress to fit your desired look. Some boutiques may have offered custom work through their alteration department, but that can get costly. And many designers just didn’t provide the service. But in true Maggie Sottero style, she has created a breakthrough program that offers brides many options to totally customize a gown to be perfectly you. Here are a few ways that the Maggie Sottero personalize it options can help you fall in love with the perfect dress.
