the powerhouse ladies of

behind the bash

Once upon a time, a wedding planner and a catering manager were kicking back, enjoying some late night beers, talking about how wedding shows kinda suck.

We wanted to meet really awesome couples. We didn’t want to be stuck in a pipe-and-drape box unable to make real connections. And we sure as shit weren’t going to become cutthroat salesmen to get there.

Then the lightbulb went off! We know awesome vendors. We understand modern couples’ wish lists.

WE CAN TOTALLY DO THIS! And so, Bash was born.

EIGHT years later (!!!), we’ve served over 3000 couples at our shows. Taryn and her team at @tarynblakeevents now solely own and operate all event operations.

we are immensely thankful for the trust and love so many people have poured into this dream we had to make a wedding show for modern couples.

We’re proud to have built an inclusive environment for all and to surround ourselves with like-minded vendors who value community over competition. in eight short years, couples have become friends and we’ve seen vendors go from having their own small dream to now being successful industry vets.

we love the wedding industry. and we’re not done yet!
