In need of several wedding vendors? It may be a good idea to visit a bridal showcase where you can talk to many vendors in the same day. There are several coming up in the DC and NYC areas:

The Great Bridal Expo:

• October 5, in New York City,  and
• October 10 in Alexandria, VA (DC area)

The Bridal Showcase in DC area:

• October 4, in Bethesda, MD

Bosco’s Bridal Showcase in NYC area:

• October 7, 09            Tarrytown
• October 12, 09          Smithtown
• November 5, 09       Stamford
• November 11, 09     Bronx

I would suggest nailing down the wedding date and location before going because that will help weed out vendors who are unavailable to you. Otherwise, you will collect alot of information that you won’t end up using. When I went for my wedding, I came out with an appointment with a photographer (whom I chose eventually) and booked a chocolate fountain! If you miss any of these coming up, don’t worry because bridal shows like these occur at least once a month in major areas. If you live in other locations, it’s still worth it to check out the websites because they list bridal shows for cities across the country. If you purchase tickets online, it’s a couple of bucks cheaper than if you were to purchase at the door.
