The Great Bridal Expo

I agree bride123. Terrible

Great event. Tons of fun with lots of giveaways and drawings to sign up for. Good place to go to get lots of vendor info. But get there early! The line was two hours long!!!!!!

I had free tickets. Not bad for a bridal show. I enjoyed the fashion show and the vendors were giving out a few good freebies. They have alot of nationwide vendors instead of local ones.

It was just ok. There weren’t enough local vendors. It all seemed too “corporate”.

Lots of vendors, but nothing really unique and different. Good door prizes.

I”ve been t o this one many times as a bridesmaid and a bride. It never changes.

Awful!- Way too crowded! I could barely make my way around the other brides, grooms, and their full entourages!

I cannot say how disappointed & what a waste of time Great Bridal Expo was!! The vendors were only a few national ones, very few local vendors. The exhibitors that were there just stood around & complained about how awful Great Bridal Expo was. The bridal show reminded me of a Saturday Night Live skit! I had purchased tickets then found all over the internet that they were having to give away tickets (If you do waste your time & go, don't BUY the tickets!!! You can get them FREE because they don't advertise the events & have to give away tickets for people to show up!!). So I got 2 FREE tickets & then they would not give me my money back for the tickets I bought. Very nasty, greedy people. I had forgotten about this but was reminded, when I was in college I worked part time for a local, small town but nice bridal shop. We exhibited at one of these Great Bridal Expos. I remember the owner very disappointed & having a a dispute with Great Bridal Expos own pushy sales people & management. She had signed up for a few more shows & since no one had shown up for the first one she was disappointed. They basically didn't care or respond. Sad to see a business like this run the way it is. Good luck to all of you other brides getting married!! Also Happy New Year! 2009 is going to be a great year!

This was wonderful and free. i signed up for tons of stuff online and they sent me a postcard for free admittance. we were going to go anyway because the price was so cheap. they had great things there. you could book your honeymoon, photographer, site, everything right there and you entered contests to get things free....my husband got 50 dollars off every tux because of the expo...great resources and it was fun and informative. we got lots of great ideas

I visit bridal expos all the time and these are especially fun. I really like the fashion shows.
