Your journey begins at the historic subway entrance, leading you to the vibrant "Tank." As you enter, you'll be greeted by a wedding resale area, brimming with gently used treasures.

​Once you've explored the resale market, enjoy complimentary drinks and appetizers in the Tank while we check you in for the main event. We will have a lanyard prepared for our engaged person with your name and wedding date on it. This will assist vendors in providing you the best and most up to date information. We'll then gather everyone for a quick presentation outlining the exciting experiences that await you upstairs in the magnificent Rotunda.

Buckeye Wedding Expo
Buckeye Wedding Expo is produced by Legacy Event Group. Our journey from DJ console to producer was born from a desire to revitalize and invigorate the stale and boring wedding shows in southwest and central Ohio. ​ Legacy Event Group is an entertainment and audio visual company known for blending planning and communication with fun and entertaining DJs, lighting, photobooths, etc. After years of participating in countless wedding shows in Ohio we sought to innovate the tired formula of sticking as many 10x10 booths into a convention center as possible and then sending unsuspecting newlyweds into the lion's den of high pressure sales and gimmicky sign ups with the promise of a free honeymoon. ​ After many failed attempts to elevate the local shows our path was clear. It was time to use the decades of experience producing weddings and produce a fun and interactive wedding expo! ​ And so Buckeye Wedding Expo was born.
