Free wedding expo with more than 50 Asian wedding suppliers and a luxury bridal runway showcase by fashion specialists Alankar and Tushita Roy.
The Sunderland Asian Wedding Expo 2026 is coming to the Roker Hotel on Sunday 22 November, from 2pm to 6pm. It's organised by Hafeez Akram, who describes it as a celebration of Asian weddings, fashion and culture, and it's open to everyone regardless of background.
Inside, you'll find more than 50 wedding suppliers and professionals all in one place. The bridal side is well covered, with fashion, jewellery, hair and makeup, while the rest of the planning is there too: décor, photography, videography, catering and entertainment. The idea is to have it as a one-stop destination, so you can meet the people behind the businesses face-to-face and pick up exclusive offers from the exhibitors on the day.
There's a luxury bridal runway showcase as part of the afternoon, with fashion specialists Alankar and Tushita Roy leading on that. Beyond the planning, Akram says the day is about celebrating cultural diversity, supporting independent regional businesses and bringing communities together, and he's keen to encourage people across the North East to see Sunderland as a destination for weddings and cultural events.
