Wow--my daughter and I just went to our first bridal show. We actually paid to get into this show! It was awful. It was boring and crowded, and the DJ company that was showcased today was terrible. Their singers were older women trying to rock young music, and their male singer was barely average. You would think they'd at least do really well with mixing the music, but they were unprepared and talking among themselves, stopping and starting songs. This was their big chance to impress a huge bunch of brides LOOKING for DJ's, and they were horrible. In the fashion show, the gowns didn't fit the models and their bras were showing, some of the gowns were wrinkled, and tags were hanging off the veils. There were several decent prizes, but most "prizes" were nothing but money off a vendor's service. Has anyone else had experiences like this? Are they all this bad, lol? We are planning on going to another one next weekend...held at my daughter's venue. Not sure if we should bother, if they're all this awful. I mean, I really feel that they ought to make it free admission. All it is is a bunch of vendors making connections. We as consumers can do almost all of this online. They can't.
