The Inn at Laurel Point hotel in Victoria, BC is officially inviting brides-to-be and wedding enthusiasts to attend Victoria’s first ever high-end wedding show.  This is not your typical wedding show. Instead of battling a huge crowd at an enormous convention hall, this is swanky evening event where upon arrival you will be greeted with a cocktail and a sense of sophistication.  The hosts of this event have gone out of their way to make this a paperless event. So instead of wandering aisles of booths picking up more pamphlets and cards than your recycle bin can hold, you get to walk, drink in hand, through elegant rooms and areas of the exquisite Laurel Point Inn to perform your wedding research.

Like other wedding shows, there will be local vendors in attendance like, photographers, florists, bakers, DJs, and stylists, but the atmosphere will allow for fun conversation and the ability for you to explore what interests you.  The fashion show will take place under an outdoor tent (with heat lamps) in their beautifully manicured Japanese garden. There you will get the chance to ooh and awe over your favorite designer gowns. You will have the opportunity to see parts of the hotel that you wouldn’t typically see, like The 5^th Floor and the Penthouse. Smaller weddings have become an increasingly popular trend and the penthouse is reserved for these intimate occasions.

Upon departing you will not leave empty handed. The hosts have a special departing package for each guest so as to remember the evening.

Event Date: March 5^th, 2011

Admittance to the show: $25
