The Premier Bride Expo and Premier Bride Magazine has been helping wedding vendors and couples connect for over 20 years in the Northeast Florida area.  Trends often change but the wedding traditions last forever.  One wedding tradition is attending a wedding expo.  Wedding expos are a great way to meet your potential wedding vendors and get a glimpse of their personalities.  It is important to select wedding vendors who you get a long with and the personalities are a match!  You are sharing a very important day of your life with these vendors and making the total experience a great one is essential. 

At the Premier Bride Expo you will find the areas top wedding professionals.  Over 100 of the areas best are under one roof for an afternoon of fun, food, fashion, music, décor inspirations and more.  We suggest that you bring a small wedding party to the expo with you.  It is always suggested that your fiancé come with you along with the other important decision makers in the wedding planning process.  The more people you invite to the wedding expo, the more opinions that you will have to manage.  Some couples can get overwhelmed with a lot of options and many couples find it easier to just go with each other and maybe parents, best friends or siblings. 

One thing we suggest all couples to do before coming to a Premier Bride Expo is to make a list of the types of vendors you want to talk to.  You can’t possibly talk to every single vendor at each expo….so make a list and stick to it.   You can always find the list of vendors and floor plan map on our blog and posted in our events of Facebook the week of the expo.  If you need to meet more types of venders then you were able to talk to at the expo, you can always come to the expo!  We typically have an expo in Northeast Florida every January, February, June and September.

Other resources that are always available to couples looking for vendor information is Premier Bride Magazine.  You can pick up the newest copy at each expo (It should be in your swag bag)!  We also distribute the magazine in over 300 locations from Amelia Island to Palm Coast and everywhere in between.  Bridal dress salons, wedding venues, tux shops, and other brick and mortar wedding businesses carry the magazines. 

If you want digital, both of our websites; www.PremierBrideExpo.com and www.PBJacksonville.com both have directory based wedding vendor searches, wedding blogs, and more!

Happy wedding planning and make sure you get your tickets to the June 12^th Premier Bride Expo at the Prime Osborn Convention Center in downtown Jacksonville Florida!

When you attend an expo you get the chance to meet vendors face to face.  You learn about their business, get to see their work up close and personal and get a glimpse of their personalities.   It’s really one of the very best ways to find your wedding vendors.  Many vendors also offer discounts and special deals if you book at the expo or set up a meeting a meeting or appointment at the expo.  We all love to save money and get deals…and the expos is a great place to make that happen!
