HEROES IN LOVE
VIP "Live" Wedding Market Expo Experience
Experience wedding planning in a way you can actually see, taste, and feel.
The Heroes in Love “LIVE” Wedding Market Expo is a one-of-a-kind VIP wedding experience created for engaged couples who want to gather inspiration, meet leading wedding industry professionals, and see a real garden wedding come to life.
Hosted by Petals of Hope, Where 2 Or More Gather in Love & Purpose, overlooking the beautiful San Pasqual Valley in North San Diego County, this experience gives couples the opportunity to walk through our Petals of Hope garden wedding setting, meet the artists behind the details, and imagine what their own celebration could look like.
VIP guests receive access two hours before the LIVE wedding begins for a private garden tour, face-to-face conversations with wedding professionals, event-only garden wedding discounts, VIP gifts, and an exclusive first look at the Garden Artist creations designed for the day.
Then, you’ll experience the full LIVE wedding celebration — ceremony, florals, décor, photography, beauty, music, full wedding-style meal, desserts, SipcuTEAries, and guest experiences.

Honoring Our Heroes in Love
At each LIVE Wedding Market Expo, we honor local heroes in love — including teachers, nurses, first responders, military members, and nonprofit leaders — by gifting a free garden wedding ceremony experience.
These ceremonies allow our community to celebrate couples who serve others while giving engaged couples the opportunity to experience a real wedding day come to life.
Do you know an engaged hero couple?
Nominate a teacher, nurse, first responder, military couple, or nonprofit leader for our next Heroes in Love ceremony and help us celebrate love, service, and community in the garden.
