Offers Brides One-on-One Meetings with Premier Bridal Industry Specialists Gathered Under One Roof
Marcy Blum, Sylvia Weinstock, Ines Di Santos & Other Luxury Vendors Gather for One-on-Ones
In a departure from traditional bridal shows, The Ultimate Engagement offers affluent brides the opportunity to meet with leading specialists of the luxury bridal industry in one-on-one appointments to plan “The Big Day.”
Brides-to-be will make pre-scheduled appointments with their choice of the premier specialists they’ve seen in magazines, online and on TV, and get the opportunity to meet with them in an upscale and intimate environment. In addition to this personalized attention, the one-day event will offer designer trunk shows, luxury pop-up shops, book signings, food & wine tastings, educational sessions, and much, much more.
Leaders in the wedding industry, including Marcy Blum, Sylvia Weinstock, Ines Di Santo, Lisa Johnson of Ceci NY and many more, will be in attendance to help turn luxury wedding day dreams into a reality on Sunday, March 14, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Gotham Hall in New York City. The invitation-only event costs $100 for two attendees (the bride and one person), and the bride-to-be can register for an invitation to attend via the website www.Ultimate-Engagement.com > .
Using the Ultimate Engagement website, brides-to-be will select appointment times with their choice of vendors. Invitees will also receive a dossier to fill out and return in advance of The Ultimate Engagement so that the bridal specialists will have a clear picture of the bride and her dream wedding, and be prepared to discuss specific ideas when meeting.
Because attendance has been limited to 400, brides will be able to optimize this important discovery/planning time in an unflurried, more intimate environment – a major departure from the crowded, chaotic atmosphere of typical bridal shows, which tends to leave brides frazzled and frustrated, and denied the most important thing: personal attention. Following their individual appointments with specialists at the event, brides who want to pursue a vendor’s services further can schedule a follow-up appointment, then and there, for a later date.
The Ultimate Engagement has been designed to be a complete luxury experience, offering, in addition to the one-on-one appointments:
French café style seating with the vendors, instead of trade-show booths.
Trunk shows by the foremost wedding dress designers, showcasing 2010 and 2011 looks.
A luxury pop-up shop offering jewelry, shoes, stationary, runners and other bridal accessories.
Educational seminars, food & wine tastings and book-signings by the bridal specialists.
A gift bag generously provided by sponsors including Wine Spectator, Gotham Magazine, Bridal Reflections, Get Married.com and others.
