TIPS FOR ATTENDING A BRIDAL SHOW

{Please be sure to visit us at Wendy's Bridal Show on January 1st and January 2, 2022 at the Duke Energy Center in Downtown Cincinnati}

-Bring pre-made labels with you to the bridal show with your Name/Wedding Date/Email Address. Many vendors have raffles you can participate in during the show. This will allow you to save time and not having to stop and fill out each time you see a raffle- just rip off a label and you are good to go!

-Bring someone with you who is excited to be there! It could be your fiancé, best friend, sister, friend, parent, grandparent, etc. Bring someone who is actually your hype buddy! Someone who gets you, someone you trust, someone you have fun with!

-Bring a pen/marker/stickers so you can write notes, add stickers/stars to stick on a particular vendor's literature you really liked so when you get home, you will remember who caught your eye!

-Be prepared that you can be at a bridal show for 2-3 hours

-Bridal Shows CAN sometimes feel overhwleming. The best thing is to discuss what your goals are, with the people you are going to the show with, before you attend. Determine your goal. Maybe you just got engaged and you have no official date and you are there for fun, samples, and collect as much info as you can to look through later on! Maybe your goal is to find a specific vendor left to book { photographer, videographer, dj, florist, cake, caterer, photo booth } Maybe your goal is to meet and talk to every photographer there and you have a list of questions you want to ask, and do a mini consultation with those that interest you. Maybe you are there to just get ideas and inspiration! Maybe you are there to try and win as many free things as you can! Just be honest with yourself and your group and this will help you feel less stressed.

-It's okay to say No, but if you say No, say No Thank You. If you aren't looking for a photographer because you already have one booked, it's perfectly okay to say No thank you, if you are approached by a photographer at the show who is asking you if you may need their services. It's okay to say no thank you if someone wants to give you their business card or marketing information/literature.

-I highly recommend you come earlier on during the day to the Bridal Show. Spend 1-2 hours looking around. Grab some drinks and or food. Grab a seat up front and enjoy the Fashion Show! Fashion Shows are a great way to see dresses, gowns, tuxes, suits on all different shapes of men and women. It is great to see different color palatiates. It is fun to see ideas for hair and makeup and bouquets.

-If you want to go back and have a longer, more detailed conversation with a vendor, the best time to do that is during the fashion show. So maybe sneak away for 10-15 minutes from the fashion show and talk one on one with that selected vendor.

-I love Bridal Shows. I make it a point, that I am the one working my booth at the show both days. I want potential Brides, Grooms, family members of my couples to get to meet me personally, face to face. I want my clients to get an idea of my personality, of my drive, of my knowledge, share some experiences/information I have that will help you with your wedding ( been a professional full time photographer 12 years ), I want my clients to feel free to ask my anything, I want my clients to be able to see my portfolios, look through my pictures and albums, and see what I have to offer. Photography is a very personal moment, very intimate, very large decision to make and this is why you will see me personally at the show as the owner. When approaching vendors at the bridal show, keep that in mind as you may not be talking with the owner but maybe a representative or a past client.

-Share your Wedding Date if you do have a date locked in officially with a location and deposit. If you have a wedding date, be sure you share that with a vendor when you walk up to them, especially if it is a category you still need to book ( the worst thing is finding someone you love, you fall in love with their style, their work, their professionalism, what they have to offer, you are clicking with the company, you did your research prior to the show, and then towards the end of the conversation you realize they do not have your availability )

-Of course most vendors do have information to pass out, like post cards, brochures, mailers, printed papers, coupons/show discount cards. If you find a company you really like, and want to follow up with in the next few days, be sure to take an actual business card. Put those business cards in your purse/wallet, not the large oversized bag of all the other things ( trust me, after talking to 15 photographers, you may forget who was who, or after tasting 10 different cake samples you may forget who were your top 3, etc ) so grab a business card and keep that separate from the others.

-Vendors have invested a lot of money to participate in these shows. From booth costs, to booth prep, to updated literature, to the simple cost of doing business, to securing that weekend for the Bridal Show versus taking on an actual Wedding, just keep that in mind to respect our time as we will also do the same for you.

-If you do get overhwhelemd, if you feel like you have taken in a lot of information and need a mental break, OR maybe you realize you still have of the vendors to go through, it is okay to just collect information! Don't feel like you have to stop and talk with everyone! It's perfectly okay to ask " do you have my date available? do you have a list of your pricing I can have? Is your contact information on here if we want to follow up with a meeting? " All of those are great questions and it keeps you moving along through the exhibit.

-I personally always recommend that you lock in your date officially with your location first! Lock in your date with your ceremony and/ or reception venue or space first before booking other wedding vendors.

-Bridal Shows are a beautiful thing to experience if you truly embrace the experience. Show off that new ring! Laugh, have great conversation, be inspired, get excited, get hyped up, get ideas and have fun with it!

Couple finds replacement wedding venue in unlikely place after Butler County fire

Couple finds replacement wedding venue in unlikely place after Butler County fire

After a tumultuous week, this couple says it is a great weight taken off their shoulders.

From the owner of RMR:

“Last night’s incident at Hanover Reserve brings us raw emotion. The heart and soul, we, as vendors, put into our events, is irreplaceable. From hair, to food, to music & location, we all, as an industry, unquestionably love what we do.

Like us, most event vendors, in Cincinnati & Dayton, are family owned businesses, working hard to provide excellent service & give each and every client a memorable experience.

We are wedding coordinators, hair dressers, photographers, but we are also children and parents, friends and neighbors… and many of the professional relationships we create, are behind the scenes, but as an industry unit - caterers, DJ’s, vendors & venues - WE ARE FAMILY.

So we ask all of our following to please say a prayer, today, for one of the other local family owned venues, as their beautiful wedding facility was devastated, last night.

Hanover Reserve - from our family to yours - we pray for your healing & restoration❤️”
