Report
We are a vendor who regularly attends the bridal shows as a service offered to the brides and I can tell you they are definitely affordable to attend worth every penny. Tons of brides show up as well as vendors and they put on a great event with a super organized, professional, friendly and responsive team. The shows are not too long, not too short, just enough time to reach everyone. And, they even pivoted quickly to do tons of virtual events, too.
