These selected prizes will be mentioned in on-air promotional announcements in the days
preceding the show, and will be announced by our celebrity MC during the show. These prizes will be awarded by random

Wilmington’s number one
wedding planning resource presents
our fifth annual fall wedding show, planned with the upscale elegance
you've come to expect from ‘Cape Fear Wedding.’
This show is the perfect opportunity for
the Cape Fear region’s leading vendors to meet with hundreds of brides,
including the growing ‘destination wedding’ category.
Approximately 80 ten-by-ten-foot booths
will be available for $400 each; double booths are an additional $300.
Table, linen and sign included; free electrical service available on
request. The show will also feature such
unique touches as a special Bride's & Groom's lounge, an on-going
fashion show and other extras for both exhibitors and guests.
Your RSVP and a 50 percent deposit
will reserve your space and ensure best choice of booth
location. Booth availability is first come, first served, with priority
to ‘Cape Fear Wedding’ advertisers.
Last year, more than a dozen vendors who wanted to
exhibit were unable to participate after available booths sold out. Don't
miss the chance to be a part of this essential marketing opportunity.

Why
Bridal Shows Work and why this one
is special:
Bridal shows remain the only place where the
public can see, touch, taste, hear, compare and ask questions about
products that are displayed side by side under one roof.
- Bridal shows provide a lot of new prospects in a short time.
Imagine how many potential new customers you could meet in one
day.
- Exhibiting allows your prospects and customers to immediately
comparison shop. If you really have something of value, they'll
know it right away. This helps you cut down the sales cycle and
outshine the competition.
- Bridal shows allow more opportunities to demonstrate your products.
They give your potential customer the hands-on opportunities so
important in the sales process.
- Bridal shows are great relationship-builders with customers.
Whether the attendee is already your customer or one you would
like to have as a customer, you have the opportunity to communicate
with them in a non-pressured environment.
- Booking just one wedding will more than likely pay for the booth
space and then some.
- Our show will be extensively promoted to brides, through the
printed pages and the web site of
Cape Fear
Wedding, broadcast, online and print advertising,
plus personal invitations mailed to the hundreds
of couples who register with us to request wedding planning information.
- Half of the brides who register with us live outside our area
but are planning “destination” weddings in the Cape Fear area.
Most of them are unfamiliar with our local venues and wedding
vendors. Our show is your only chance to market directly to these
brides.
- This show is presented by Cape Fear
Wedding, known for its elegant
presentation and user-friendly organization.
- Our show is known for its stylish, upscale features. Unique touches
that attract and hold brides' attention include runway bridal fashion shows
and the Bride & Groom's lounge, which offers guests a place to relax, enjoy
complimentary refreshments and enjoy the on-stage presentations. See photos from
2009 fashion show,
2009 dance demonstrations
and
2008 fashion show.
- The show’s Autumn date gives you an opportunity to make early
connections with the many brides who will already be making plans
for their spring and summer weddings.
