The Bliss Bridal Show at Valley Forge Casino Resort was a great opportunity to showcase Elvira Mary to a huge amount of brides and members of the industry. We were treated to live entertainment, delicious samples and all while meeting many wonderful people. The event was in the Independence Ballroom, but the best part about the venue is that there are five different ballrooms, each with their own unique size, style, and amenities.
More important than showcasing Elvira Mary, though, was the chance to spend time with many vendors that we may not see all the time. One of those vendors was Ashley Novak from Glam On Demand, who was kind enough to do makeup for the whole Elvira Mary team!
Glam On Demand did a wonderful job, and you know we're serious when we got it ourselves! Ashley is so cool because she goes a step beyond regular makeup artists and travels with the bride throughout the day. It's not enough to go into detail in the morning and leave the bride to go through the whole hectic day alone. Ashley will be by the bride's side whenever she needs her, so that every bride can feel confident and beautiful the whole day through.
Another great vendor we got to spend some time with was Richard Barnes from Richard Barnes Photography. Richard is a fantastic local wedding photographer, and nothing captures his dedication more than his proposal photography. To do this, he goes undercover on location and discretely photographs the moment when the groom proposes. There's only one chance to capture a moment that is so uniquely special, he can't run over and ask him to do it again at a better angle. And working with just the groom is hard enough as it is!
Another vendor I was able to reunite with was Bob Mills from Philly Event Group. They are awesome because they turn organizing the wedding ceremony into a fun, easy experience. With Philly Event Group, you have access to everything you'll need for the reception. They have award-winning bands, DJs, and a professional Karaoke experience, along with different photographers, lighting specialists and videographers like myself! In one site, you can get it all done and let an awesome motivated group of people take the pressure off your hands.
The Bliss Bridal Show was an amazing, energizing experience. The whole Elvira Mary team met so many great people, reunited with the amazing professionals above, and got all the more excited for the incredible wedding season about to kick off!
