Plan your trip
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Astana Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport
Primary gateway for the event; compare direct connections and one-stop routings via Istanbul, Dubai or Doha.
approx 15-20 km from Astana city center (estimate)
to venue
approx 30-40 minutes to MVTs Ekspo outside peak hours (estimate)
by car
Almaty International Airport
Useful alternative gateway if international fares into Almaty are materially lower, but allow a domestic leg to Astana.
Almaty is roughly 1,200 km from Astana, so onward domestic flight or overnight rail is needed (estimate)
to venue
Domestic connection required before the local transfer to the venue
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
ibis Astana
Hotel Lion
Hilton Astana
Astina Inn Hotel
Kapsula Hotel Astana
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi / ride-hail
Pre-book through a hotel or use a ride-hail app at arrivals; allow extra time on show mornings.
public transport
City buses link the airport and central Astana; plan 60-90 minutes plus a transfer to the venue.
domestic flight or rail
Almaty is roughly 1,200 km from Astana, so travellers landing at ALA need a domestic flight or overnight train before the final transfer.
taxi
approx 30-40 minutes to MVTs Ekspo outside peak hours (estimate); Primary gateway for the event; compare direct connections and one-stop routings via Istanbul, Dubai or Doha.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Citizens of 80+ countries — including the EU, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, South Korea, the UAE, Australia and most CIS states — enter Kazakhstan visa-free for up to 30 days per entry for business and tourism.
Kazakhstan accepts ATA Carnets for the temporary admission of exhibition and professional goods; exhibitors shipping bridal gowns, jewellery, display units and stand equipment should arrange the carnet with their national guaranteeing body and confirm coverage with the organiser before dispatch.
Official visa pageWeather
Astana in late April is a cool continental spring: daytime highs typically reach 12–17°C while nights drop to 0–6°C, and frost is still possible early in the month, so a windproof coat and warm mid-layer matter for the walk between halls at MVTs Ekspo. The month brings roughly 20–30 mm of rain across eight to ten wet days, with gusty steppe winds and occasional late snow flurries. Pack smart business-casual wear for the show floor, closed comfortable shoes for the EXPO grounds, a compact umbrella and a good moisturiser for the dry air.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Greetings and hospitality
A firm handshake is standard in business settings and business cards are exchanged readily; Kazakh hosts often offer tea and sweets, and accepting at least one cup is a mark of respect. Address older or senior counterparts formally until invited otherwise.
Dress and conduct
Smart business attire is expected at the exhibition centre and at evening receptions; dress modestly for visits to mosques or heritage sites, covering shoulders and knees. Remove shoes when entering a private home.
Tipping and payments
Restaurants typically add 10% service, and rounding up the fare is normal for taxis; card payments are widely accepted in Astana hotels and venues, but carry some tenge cash for taxis, markets and small cafés.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: NQZ
Book flights to NQZ when possible for the shortest transfer to the venue; compare ALA only if fares are materially lower.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Day 2 — Thursday 22 April 2027
The middle day of the three-day run carries the fullest programme, with catwalk shows and supplier presentations scheduled alongside the B2B appointment slots. Exhibitor stands are fully staffed after opening-day setup, trade buyers outnumber the consumer footfall that builds towards Friday, and there is still a full day left for return visits and negotiation before the 23 April close.
Check passport validity and Kazakhstan entry requirements for your nationality — Confirm at least six months validity and any e-visa or registration rules before booking non-refundable travel.
Register online for Central Asia Wedding Expo — Use the official organiser channel at centralasiaweddingexpo.com and save the badge confirmation for on-site collection.
Book flights into Astana NQZ for 20-21 April 2027 — Allow a connection buffer through Istanbul, Dubai or Doha; compare Almaty ALA only if fares are materially lower plus a domestic leg.
Reserve a hotel near MVTs Ekspo for the 21-23 April 2027 window — Compare properties such as ibis Astana, Hotel Lion, Astina Inn Hotel and Hilton Astana in KZT rates.
Arrange the NQZ airport-to-venue transfer — Pre-book a taxi or install a ride-hail app; the drive to EXPO International Exhibition Center is roughly 30-40 minutes.
Download the hall plan and exhibitor list once published — Shortlist bridal fashion, jewellery, decor and catering suppliers ahead of arrival.
Request B2B meetings with exhibitors — Use the organiser matchmaking or visitor desk to schedule 20 minute meetings across the three show days.
Apply for any required visa or e-visa immediately — Processing lead time varies by passport; submit documents early to avoid missing the 21 April 2027 opening.
Review the seminar and demo timetable — Pre-select sessions on bridal trends, wedding technology and sourcing so you do not clash B2B meetings.
Plan a budget in KZT — Carry a card plus some local cash for taxis, small supplier samples and on-site purchases.
Pack business cards, portfolio and April layers — Astana spring weather shifts between cool mornings and milder afternoons; bring a light jacket for transfers.
Arrive in Astana and collect your badge on the opening morning — Reach MVTs Ekspo before doors on 21 April 2027 to allow time for security screening and orientation.
