You can visit the vendors from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm Grand Prize Drawings are at 2:30 pm. Purchasing tickets before the show will save time at the door when you arrive. When you sign in at the registration table your name will go into the basket for the General Prize Drawings that will be drawn during the show so listen for your name and go to the Prize Board when you hear your name. When your name is called you pick your prize from the prize board and then go to the vendor to get the actual prize.

Do guys attend bridal shows?
Absolutely! There is a growing trend of guys wanting to be part of the wedding planning process! Most recently, couples are planning a couples day out at our bridal shows. They’re extending the invite to the show to their entire wedding party to celebrate their engagement and upcoming wedding. Let the party begin!
I went to my first bridal show and loved it! Is there a reason that I should go to another show?
Attending more than one show is all about choices! There is always a variety of wedding professionals at each show. Some brides have shared that they needed to go to 2-3 shows to gather the info needed to plan their weddings. Some brides will travel more than an hour to go to a show. A bride recently told us that attending a bridal show was a really fun day out for she and her Mom, sisters, sister-in-laws and the girls in the wedding party so plan a GIRLS GATHERING to Celebrate your Engagement!
Do I have to be there to win prizes?
Yes, you do need to be present to win prizes. There is always so much to see and do at each show that the time goes by very quickly. At the show you’ll be meeting the wedding professionals and gathering info from each one. At most shows we have a cake cutting and a bouquet toss. The Grand Prizes are drawn at the end of the show and have been referred to as the icing on the cake!
