"The best one-day show ever for Belk - in
any market. Thanks so much for all that you do."

"Thank you! Thank you! Yesterday's wedding show
was brilliant! Year after year your show at the Charlotte
Convention Center gives brides & grooms-to-be
and their moms the openess & freedom to never
stop dreaming."
~ Arroe Collins Mobile DJ
" The Bridal Showcase is by far the biggest
and best show in NC!
It is now the only two shows
that we participate in. In the past we would attend
the smaller shows as well but over time found that
we
received more bookings from your show than any other!
We always look forward to participating in your shows
because they are very well promoted, professionally
managed and extremely organized! You continue to
strive to make each event even better than the previous.
We look forward to many great
shows together.”

“I
had a booth at the showcase in August and would
like to book
the early
rate again for January. I got great feedback from
the show.”
~ Crown Alley Films
“I want to really thank you for encouraging
me about the show...I was a nervous wreck as with
all of the preparations it was a big financial commitment
and with a million photographers at the show...I
was candidly uncertain how it would all work out.
And it was a huge success. We have already booked
enough weddings to break even and one being our most
lucrative wedding to date! We will definitely be seeing
you for the next one!”

“
We have been a participant in the Bridal
Showcase for each of the past ten years that Carolina
Wedding & Events has put it on- and this means
TWO events per year in January and again in the summer.
This event is bar none, THE premier wedding industry
event and it’s all due to the skill and dedication
of the staff of CW&E. In fact, it’s fair
to say that an exposition put on by them of ANY product
or service field would be hugely successful based
on the experiences we’ve had. The promotion,
preparation and execution of the event are without
equal and we’ve never, ever attended this particular
show without securing more future business than expected
for our participation. CW&E always delivers,
each and every time.”

"Just wanted to tell you
that I can't wait for the upcoming bridal show!!
You guys always do such a
fabulous job. It is such a pleasure working with
true wedding professionals who know how to "do
it" right. I have been participating in your
shows for almost 10 years now and I can always count
on a business spiking immediately thereafter. So
worth the investment!!!!!"

"It was another great Showcase, Heidi! We have upgraded
our display and I think it helped us have even more
conversations with couples about the value of doing
some premarital preparation. We already have 3 couples
registered for our Spring class which is our highest
response compared to previous shows. Thank-you so much
for allowing our participation and your partnership
in wanting to see marriages last a lifetime! Many blessings
on your leadership!"

Tim Cox, B4IDo- Church at Charlotte
Before the Show: "I now plan to
only participate in the Bridal Showcases from now
on. The Carolina
Weddings and Events folks really know how to promote
and put on a showcase and I look forward to being
a part of it once again."
After the Show: "Thank you
for your hard work and dedication in making the January
show such a success. I loved my booth neighbors and
my location #904. It never got too crowded and we
could see the main stage. Thank you again for your
help and your work with the show--and for the lead
list."

Jonna Eichorn, Wedding Day Coordination
"I just wanted
to send you an email thanking you for allowing me
to be part of the show. You should
be proud of the turn out and of your hard work. I'm
so glad I was able to participate and I look forward
to working with you again in the future. I really
appreciate you handling my last minute request and
being so willing to help. You're a doll.
Have a great
day and please pass along my gratitude to the entire
staff."

"Again, I commend you all for
an amazing bridal show! This was by far one of the
best and well-attended
shows I've seen. Great job to you and the team. Thank
you for allowing me to be a part of it! I enjoy coming
back and doing the show each year."
