This could have been a good bridal show if there were more vendors, especially wedding related and more bride sign ups. We saw no videographers, no hair stylists, only one makeup and only one photographer. There needs to be more of a range and more options for brides. It made their time spent in the room very short.

I learned to bring boxes for individual sales at customers request. It would be nice to know were my booth is before I arrive. Due to system issues with the organizers computer I was delayed setting up but I arrived around 8:30 so it didn't cause much of a hiccup.
I learned I should meet and talk with the photographer and enjoyed meeting Donovan Richards from GRAPHICS NECESSARY. I did not enjoy the bridal show because it was biased to CURVY WOMAN and FULL FIGURED woman. ALL the ladies that modeled were size 2 and did not even smile when walking.
There were no clear signs pointing to registration. We walked right in and nobody checked to see if we had tickets. We spent $40 on tickets and didn’t even need them. There weren’t enough vendors and we were done walking through the room in 20 minutes.

Would have liked more florists, travel agents, more unique vendors, and food to eat. Registration was easy and the $5 charge to print out my details was great.
Pay for your ticket, and only one gets the goody bag at the entrance. We asked for another bag, and we were told by two of the attendants, that only 1 bag , even if you bought more than 1 ticket. I asked why? She told me: Do you want for us to loose our jobs? Ridiculous. I will never go to this again. We share the info from the bag. Not Worth going.
It was nice. All the vendor booths were set up nice and the event was organized. The only complaint I have is that vendors started taking down their booths right after the fashion show and that was 1 hour before the event was supposed to end.
Not enough vendors to represent cake, food and venues. Too many hair, make up, and photography vendors. Not enough sitting spots. We got the at 12 and were done by 1. We wanted to see the fashion show, but nothing else to do while waiting for it
I thought there was going to be a lot more vendors, only one vendor for bridal shops, no cake vendors and we stayed almost until the end and the bridal/fashion show had still not started. The rows were so close together that it was hard to get around
