The Roanoke Wedding Network (RWN) was started in 2011 by Vicki Itson. The group was founded as a way for Roanoke’s wedding vendors to meet new people and promote their small businesses. The first event was in a restaurant and a whopping 12 people in attendance. Today, there are over 100 members of the group with an average of 50-100 people attending each monthly networking reception.

Any Roanoke area wedding vendors are welcome to join the group and our networking receptions are always free to attend for Roanoke Wedding Network members. We promote networking, socialization, and idea-sharing. Our goal is to provide networking opportunities for wedding vendors to build their referrals. We also want our members to work on their business and not just in it. Many of our meetings will include educational topics to to help our members to be the best they can be and continue delivering quality service to their clients. We welcome new vendors to the area and help promote their business.
