The DTI Bagong Pilipinas Wedding Fair is back for its second run, happening on June 26 to 28, 2026 at SMX Aura Premier Convention Center in Taguig City.
After a successful first year, the three-day event returns as a space where Filipino creativity and entrepreneurship take center stage. Over 100 local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are expected to join, giving couples and event organizers plenty of options from products to services, while also supporting homegrown businesses.
The inaugural run of the DTI Wedding Fair last 2025 was led by DTI Sec. Cristina A. Roque and Asec. Nylah Bautista, brought together MSMEs from across the country. With its success, the fair returns this 2026, continuing its commitment to fostering entrepreneurship, strengthening local industries, and creating new avenues for Filipino businesses to thrive.
The fair was created under the vision of DTI Secretary Ma. Cristina A. Roque, together with Assistant Secretary Nylah Bautista of the Competitiveness and Innovation Group. With the wedding industry continuing to grow, the goal is simple: help Filipino entrepreneurs reach more people, connect with clients, and showcase what they can offer for life’s biggest celebrations.
Everything you might need for a wedding will be there in one place—bridal fashion, styling, catering, photography, flowers, travel services, stationery, music, and more. It’s designed to make planning easier while also highlighting the value of choosing Filipino brands and suppliers.
Last year’s fair drew in couples, planners, creatives, and industry professionals who explored different ideas and discovered how local talent can elevate any celebration. One standout was the bridal runway show, where designers presented modern takes on traditional fabrics and sustainable designs. There were also interactive exhibits and talks that showed how weddings can reflect personal stories, culture, and identity.
This year continues that same direction, encouraging couples to bring more Filipino craftsmanship into their special day. It’s also a chance to directly support local businesses while discovering unique options.

Aside from wedding suppliers, visitors can also learn about DTI programs that help entrepreneurs grow. There will be booths for the DTI B2B Marketplace, where MSMEs can sign up for free and connect with buyers locally and abroad. The Malikhaing Pinoy platform will also be there, giving creatives a way to promote their services through a dedicated e-commerce space.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, looking for suppliers, or just want to support Filipino talent, the DTI Wedding Fair 2026 is open to everyone.
The DTI Wedding Fair 2026 will be held on June 26 to 28, 2026 at SMX Aura Premier, Convention Center, Taguig City. Admission is free.
