I heard there was going to be a NY wedding show but the entrance fee is $135 per person. I think it takes place late September. Does anyone know any details about this? I am curious to see why they are charging $135 for a wedding show. Thanks.

It's the Wedding March on Madison. I am going (YAY!!). It's $135 for THREE days and it starts on Friday night at 6pm. A lot of big names of the wedding industry are going to be there, for ex: Vera Wang, Preston Bailey, and Colin Cowie. I can't wait!!

Re: Wedding show for $135 pp?
I was almost contemplating going since there would be all these great weddding specialists there. Then I read the fine print on the invitation which states that certain seminars/discussions were subject to an additional charge. I was sure that the people I would spend time to hear would cost extra. They didn't even say how much extra it would cost. It's all a bit out of my budget but I would love to hear how those that went make out.

I'd rather use that $135 to pay for FH's and my meals at the wedding! I still think the bride and groom should get their meals for free, but that's a gripe for another day!

Thanks for your thoughts ladies. I found a link for it below. I can't believe what they are charging. They do give you a goodie bag and there will be designers there, but I cannot afford that kind of show.

I don't think I'd pay that kind of money for a bridal show...and with only 3 months left to the wedding...there's no point to. But, I'd love to hear all about it from the girls who do go...it'll probably be one amazing show!!!

It is not just a wedding show like an expo you might see at a caterer, It is the equivalent of the NY fashion week for brides. There are supposed to be seminars & such. Do a search we discussed it a couple of weeks ago on the BHB board.

Here are the details - I got this e-mail b/c I subscribe to DailyCandy:
'Wedding March on Madison' is an engaged girl's white dream. The bridal blowout, September 19-21, showcases wedding biz mavens like Sylvia Weinstock, Vera Wang, Colin Cowie, Avi Adler, Preston Bailey, Daniel Boulud, and the editors of 'Bride's' and 'Modern Bride' magazines.
It all kicks off Friday with Barney's Bridal Bash, an exclusive cocktail soiree, and culminates Sunday with a runway show featuring the collections of Carolina Herrera, Vera Wang, Badgley Mischka, Monique Lhuillier, Ulla Maija, Nicole Miller, Watters & Watters, and Priscilla of Boston. The bridal extravaganza also features star-studded seminars on everything from floral trends to registry musts, as well as private shopping at Crate & Barrel, Cartier, and other Madison Avenue shops.
Need a little more icing on your cake? Attendees receive promotions, giveaways, in-store exclusives, and the best gift bag this side of the aisle.
