Top reasons to attend wedding expo Greensboro NC

I highly recommend you attend a local wedding expo show if you just got engaged or already half way through the planning process.  Whether you choose to attend a Bridal Expo or Bridal Show at the wedding venue, you are sure to learn something valuable and new.  Some shows are free to attend and some charge a nominal fee, but it will be worth attending and here are few reasons:

I. Meet local wedding professionals

Bridal shows and expos are an excellent opportunity to meet local wedding professionals.  You can find wedding photographers, bakers, limousine companies, florists, makeup artists and etc.  Online reviews are useful, but nothing can replace a face to face meeting with a vendor.  Talk to vendors and decide for yourself:

1. Is the staff experienced and knowledgeable?
2. Is the staff professional and pleasant to deal with?
3. Is the staff dressed professionally?
4. Could you work well with this person or team?

 

II. Preview samples or offered service

Bridal shows and wedding expos are packed with free samples of food, examples of floral arrangements, table decorations, tuxedos, bridal gowns, etc.  Limousine companies always bring one or several vehicles to showcase.  The condition of the displayed vehicle is representative of the whole fleet.  If the displayed vehicle smells of smoke and there is some trash, mostly like that’s what you will get on your wedding day. Ask to seat in the vehicle and check:

1. Is the vehicle in good condition? Any rips or tears in the upholstery?
2. Is the car clean?
3. Does it smell nice?
4. Is there any trash?

 

III. Get answers for Your questions

When planning a wedding, you will have lots of questions answers to which you cannot always find online or in your favorite magazine.  By attending a bridal show or wedding expo, you’ll get tons of helpful planning tips and recommendations from vendors who have been in the business for years.  If you have a general or specific question, this is your choice for a free private consult.  Ask the limousine driver about transportation options for your bridal party and wedding guests, how long you should rent the limo for and what limousines come stocked with.

 

IV. See new ideas

My favorite part of participating in a bridal show is that I always learn something new at every show. You can always get great ideas about things you may not have considered yet. You’ll find all sorts of inspiration for personalized ceremonies, creative seating card holders, crafty guest sign-in options, and even charitable donations in lieu of favors. You’ll be sure to see something that you hadn’t considered yet and your mind will swirl with ideas as you visit the different sections of a bridal show.

 

V. Save time and money

Wedding shows and expos can save you a ton of time and driving around from one place to another. Instead of going to florists, wedding dress boutiques, bakeries, caterers, stationary shops, etc. you can go to an expo and find all of these things in one place! In addition, majority of vendors offer “show specials” and discounts on their services if you sign up for their services during the expo.

 

VI. Check out the wedding site

Some of the wedding shows are organized by (Castle McCulloch) or hosted (Winmock at Kinderton) at the wedding venues.  By attending the show at the wedding venue, you can get a very good feel for how it will look to your wedding guests.

1. The curb appeal – is the venue picturesque? How does it look during the day and in the evening?
2. The traffic flow – show attendants are just like wedding guests, they will need to park and walk.  Is the parking lot easily accessible and well lit?
3. The decorations – vendors try to showcase their talent, so they carefully choose the decorations based on the venue’s character and style.
4. Meet the preferred vendors for this venue – venues are very careful in selecting vendors for their preferred program.   These are trustworthy professionals that will deliver exceptional service in a timely manner.
