Wedded World Melbourne runs 7-8 November 2026 at 1 Hotel Melbourne, hosted across both days by Alex Pike and Alin Le'Kal, with every panel hosted by Wendy El-Khoury. Each day has two Wedded Salons: The Wedding Blueprint in the morning and Before We Say I Do in the afternoon. Each Salon has two panels and a runway, and every Salon opens with canapés, drinks and a gift on arrival.
Between sessions, Wedded Wellness and the exhibition are open, and food tastings are available as a paid add-on, so you can try it, taste it and book it. Your $49 ticket includes a $200 gift bag per couple, exclusive Wedded Perks and entry into $20,000+ in giveaways. Here is how both days run.
Saturday opens with The Wedding Blueprint (Salon 1) and moves into Before We Say I Do (Salon 2), each with two panels and a runway. Alex Pike and Alin Le'Kal host the day, and Wendy El-Khoury hosts every panel.
