Well, last night I attended as a vendor at a new UK concept in wedding fayres at Glasgow Grand Central Hotel organised by JP Events.
It was a'meet the vendor night' which is a take on 'speed dating' in that there was 30 vendors and 30 specially selected brides/couples who would attend and each vendor would be given 5 minutes to make their pitch about their services to the bride/couples.
It all seemed to be a refreshing and great idea, first of all the hotel is stunning and very modern the only negative I would say is that there is almost no parking and due to nightmare one way system in Glasgow its so hard to get to logistically.
The vendors came with a diverse knowledge in the wedding industry with long standing large wedding companies along side new businesses trying to get a foot in the door.
The organisers are lovely and so full of enthusiasm and had organised and thought it out very well the only thing I would say was the disappointing turn out of real genuine interested brides/couples which was very low at 11.
Out of this a few were 'set up' brides who are not genuinely getting married which made a few vendors feel quite negative although I had a wonderful response about my work from both the other suppliers and brides/couples. Perhaps, the date of 31st of October was not the best evening to have such an event and possibly the reason for the low turn out of interested clients but I must say the concept is very, very good and I will certainly look forward to being involved in the next event in Spring next year.
