I work in the wedding industry and I just heard about this so I am guessing I have been living under a rock. This looks amazingly fun! It is such a great way to think outside the box when it comes to bridal fairs. The event is called the "Not Wedding".
Basically the "guests" at the event are the brides-to-be. The event is a mock wedding from the ceremony all the way to the reception. And guess what, the vendors are the ones who actually put on the wedding. So these brides who come as guests are seeing the photographer, videographer, caterer, etc. work their magic as though it was a REAL wedding. Genius!
The website for the Not Wedding explains:
"Complete with dinner and drinks, an emotional ceremony and a dance-party reception, The Not Wedding has become a killer alternative to a bridal show. The hand-selected vendors perform their services as they would at a real wedding, and the 'wedding guests' get to hear the music, taste the cakes, and smell the flowers… while enjoying a night of great food, dancing and surprises, leaving brides-to-be saying 'I want my wedding to be just like that!'.
For brides and grooms, the event serves as a source of inspiration, a resource in finding trusted wedding vendors and an emotional reminder to plan for what comes after the wedding: a marriage! For participating wedding vendors, the event exposes their business to new referral sources, while also exposing each vendor to a wealth of inspiration, resources and confidence to take their business to the next level."
Well, I am so excited to find out that my hometown is hosting a Not Wedding on March 19th! Less than a month away! This would be a great opportunity to truly see wedding vendors at work!
You do not want to miss this wonderful event!
