Thurston County is welcoming its first premiere wedding expo. “It will have all the high-end value and premium feeling like in a bigger city,” says Alek Beers, one of the organizers. A wide range of wedding related businesses will gather under one roof. “To have all those vendors in a single space to walk through the journey of planning your wedding with your bridal party and/or spouse is really ideal,” adds Beers.
Did you know most weddings use at least 15 different businesses for that special day? Frequently, weddings required twice that number. Imagine being able to see, taste and meet a host of possibilities under one roof on a single day. This two-day extravaganza is for anyone thinking about marriage. Whatever your budget, your wedding is a special day.
Planning a wedding ought to be fun and exciting. The Expo is a fabulous place for inspiration and making contacts. For example, Thurston County is a great place for a destination wedding. Discover new venues including J&S Barn & Farmhouse from Rochester and The Kodiak Room. Loewyn Behold Wedding and Portrait Photography, Shailee Berry Photography and Markie Jones Photography will be on-hand to provide the information you need.
Former Miss Washington, Lisa Bloom, is coordinating a full fashion show for both days of the show to highlight bridal and formal wear. What fun to see and even try on gowns from Grace Kelly Bridal and A&M Bridal and men’s formal wear from Beckett & Robb Men’s Wear. Caterers will offer complimentary food samples and mocktails. Grandville Barbeque is preparing a special lunch available for purchase.
Local florists, videographers, and mobile bartenders want to meet you. Check out the limo from Hannah Airport & Limousine and get your transportation concerns addressed. See what the make-up artists are up to and peruse the jewelry. Meet musician Derik Nelson and talk with DJ Sound Dragon.
It’s hard to think of everything. South Sound Wedding Expo wants to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams. “We are so excited. It’s going to be awesome,” says Beers.
