We had our rehearsal dinner at Forepaugh's, and it was the perfect setting. It has such character and beauty, and it's so quaint that it made us feel like we were right at home in a giant victorian mansion! Our friends and family had a wonderful time as well, and the food was top notch. It was a great way to kick off an unforgettable weekend.
This was the only wedding fair I had time to go to, so I can't compare it to any others. But it was a lot of help in getting ideas. I didn't really make many contacts with vendors I ended up actually using in planning our wedding, except we did win a honeymoon package, so that was exciting!

Fantastic selection, fantastic value and fantastic service! The Hope Chest was not my first stop in looking for a dress, but it was definitely my last. If any bride is as busy as me, I would recommend making them your first stop, because they have all you need and more. I could not believe the options I had. At other shops, I was lucky to find one dress I liked, but at The Hope Chest I found 5 of them that I absolutely loved! In the end, the shop owner really helped me make my final decision, and it turned out perfect. I also got my bridesmaid & flower girl dresses and tuxes there. They even had the right dress for my mom, which made her look so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you to the staff at The Hope Chest for making my wedding day truly memorable and perfect in every way!
