The Wedding Pros

Sunday, March 4th marks Easy Event Planning’s first foray into hosting bridal shows in Tompkins County. In Binghamton their show has grown quite large, so it will be interesting to see how their first Ithaca area show goes. The show runs from 2-5PM at the Clarion Hotel and you can pre-register on their site to avoid having to wait in line when the doors open. Ryan Bombard and I will both be there and we hope you’ll stop by our booth and let us know how you’re enjoying the podcast.

Some services and products it is easy to shop for at a bridal show, but for vendors you will be working very closely with, you might not want to make such an important decision in such a hectic atmosphere. Instead, schedule appointments with photographers, DJs and videographers for the week following the show so you can sit down one-on-one and learn if they will be a good fit for you.

You’ll also have the opportunity to win some great prizes. You do have to be present at the end of the show to win the big prizes. They will call out names until somebody present claims their prize. In addition each vendor provides a prize with a minimum value of $50. At past shows you have not needed to be present to win but the responsibility for claiming your prize lies exclusively with you; you can check their website to see if you are a winner.
