Question about Wedding Expos

This might be a really silly question, but my fh and I have never been to a wedding expo. We are scheduled to go to one tomorrow night at Giorgio's. I was wondering what we can expect there. How do they work? What should I wear? I would appreciate any help all of you can offer. Thanks in advance!!

Re: Question about Wedding Expos

Could you tell us more about it? For example, is it only Giorgio's recommended vendors?

If so, DH and I went to a similar one at Crest Hollow Country Club, which was our site. Only recommended vendors were showing. Like a trade show, each vendor had its own booth (more like a table) with displays of its work.

I suggest focusing on the vendors most important to you. For us, we spent the most time on the big-ticket vendors--photo, video, flowers, and music. Although we gathered some info on smaller-item vendors, like limos, we spent less time actually talking to them. Essentially, you wander from vendor to vendor and each one gives you its marketing pitch.

Have a list of questions prepared for each vendor type. Take notes. Get business cards. As for attire, casual is fine. Give yourself plenty of time. Bring a snack and some bottled water. Don't book right then--these meetings should be a gateway to appointments.

You shouldn't be forced by the site to use only its recommended vendors, so shop around with non-recommended vendors as well.

Have fun!

Thanks so much for your help. I think it is only Giorgio's vendors. I now have a better idea of how to approach the vendors. Thanks again!
