Best piece of advise I can give is make sure the venue does not have a tied supplier and inclusive packages. If most of your customers turning up already have a DJ in their package supplied by the hotel you are banging your head against a wall.
We have seen business die away these last couple of years as venues are doing package deals that include the DJ from their preferred agency in the package price. It would appear lots of hotels are now taking this approach and closing down lots of opportunities.
So if you are paying to go to fair at a venue who have inclusive packages a lot of your potential customers will not be interested.

My honourable friend from the wrong side of the Pennines is absolutely correct. I've not done any fairs for decades, but I believe perceived wisdom is that you should not take a full rig, but laptops running video/slides of your kit, and your work are de rigeur. A couple of uplighters showing how you can " paint a venue with colour " are also helpful.

Got one tomorrow with my local wedding group.
Some are a waste of time and others are great so go with decent organisers and venues.
I just bring 2 roller banners, promotional packs and a couple of up lighters.
Perhaps a mirrorball in between the banners. 2 is good especially if people are going both ways.
People come to the fairs to meet people in person so just sell yourself rather than kit (unless you have packages based on equipment).
More importantly chill out and take a interest in the couples wedding day.
I find the more relaxed I am the more people book. They tend to ask questions anyway so just a general overview is required.
I have gained LOADS of bookings this year as I know what i am doing now and I clearly don't need the work and it shows.
