Wedding Industry Event Calendar

Wedding Industry

610 Loft and Gardens is an iconic wedding terrace venue with unparalleled views of Manhattan.

Whether you’re embracing FOMO or JOMO, the wedding industry has an exciting lineup of events this year.

This well-curated wedding industry event calendar is a vital resource for professionals seeking to stay ahead of the curve. I’m so excited to share it with you!

Attending wedding industry events by WIPA, Engage Summits, and Emerge Collective is a fantastic way to grow your business while having fun! These events offer a perfect mix of networking, learning, and relaxation, making them ideal for both personal and professional development.

In 2024, I had the honor of sponsoring two incredible industry galas. In August, I supported the Emerge Event Collective’s gala at 610 Loft and Gardens, an unforgettable evening filled with style and celebration. Later in December, I had the privilege of photographing the New York WIPA Chapter’s sixties-themed gala at the iconic TWA Hotel, where the atmosphere was as vibrant and dynamic as the era it celebrated.
