They are available to discuss their products and services with you, as well as answer any questions you may have in the planning of your big day.

Their are plenty of activities slated for that day including fashion shows featuring the latest wedding styles and trends, caterers on-hand providing samples of their fabulous fare, florists and floral samples, wedding photographers, live music, and so much more. The show offers prizes, free samples, and discounts. Don't miss it!
