Monterey Spring Show3 150x150 Bridal Show Excitement in Monterey

Monterey Spring Show

I love Bridal Shows. And the first Spring Bridal Show that Central Coast Bride produced in Monterey last Sunday was certainly no exception. It was spectacular.  The nearly 70 Wedding Exhibitors designed excellent showcases in their booths, transforming the already beautiful ballroom at the Monterey Hyatt Regency into a truly magical space.

Having a Bridal Show on the Sunday that daylight savings time takes effect was an unintended, but it worked out very well. Brides flowed into the ballroom at a steady pace most of the afternoon. This perfect spacing of Bride traffic made for a relaxing show, even though there were nearly 500 attendees, including the 200 Brides.  Plus our new cafe’ seating in front of the stage provided a great place for groups to relax between bouts of interviewing Wedding Caterers, Photographers, DJs and more.

Bride Wins 1000 1 150x150 Bridal Show Excitement in Monterey

The Winning Couple

The Bridal Show Exhibitors provided lots of great prizes for the Brides, including a Wedding Photography package, musicians for a Ceremony, a couples retreat package and many more. These prizes were all given away once an hour to delighted Brides! Then came the time for the $1000 cash grand prize giveaway at 4pm. Tension built, couples gathered around the stage, drumroll and then the winning Bride’s name was called. And called. And then called again. We didn’t record that missing Bride’s name, but on the second draw there was no doubt that the winning Bride was present.  Dionica Pena and her fiance’ Louie Martinez beamed with excitement as flashbulbs popped.
