Saying yes was just the beginning.
Congratulations on your engagement! Now the whirlwind of wedding planning begins.
It’s okay to feel a little overwhelmed. All brides-to-be dream about “The Big Day,” but many don’t know where, when and how to start.
That’s where the Bridal & Wedding Expo comes in!
Admission is free with online registration or $10 at the door.
Attendees of our previous Bridal & Wedding Expos have called our one-of-a-kind event their “pre-wedding shower,” the “party before the party,” and “the best decision they ever made!”
