Northern California Wedding Show | Social Media and Wedding Planning

Instagram sure is pretty! Does it tell the whole story though? Technology has changed the way that the world communicates and interacts with one another. We can instantly search for a product or service, and connect with someone across the globe who has the same passion and interests that we do - it’s pretty amazing. Social media allows us to engage with our friends, family and favorite trends all while on the go or relaxing at home. We spend less time on the phone speaking with businesses and service providers because we have their website and social media at our fingertips. 

When booking services for your wedding, there are great tools out there from Pinterest to Etsy and Zola - endless sites to help make all of the planning come together smoothly. How should couples connect with prospective wedding vendors - do they first look for Yelp Reviews, ask their friends and family for advice on who they recommend, or attend wedding shows in their area? For some couples it may be a combination of all three of those but our recommendation aim for either arranging a video chat/phone session or planning to arrange an in person consult with prospective wedding vendors so that you can all take time to ask questions and get a good vibe.

We all love the instant gratification of reading reviews, receiving an email or the ability to seamlessly book a service online, however it doesn't replace the benefit of forming relationships with your planner, photographer, DJ or florist etc.  That’s why we have created a virtual wedding show to allow couples to learn the story behind each business and connect with wedding vendors in a setting that doesn’t feel as pressured as some of the traditional bridal shows. The biggest goal for us is to connect couples with the local wedding pro’s who have so much heart & passion for what they do, and hopefully help couples feel like they didn’t have to do all of the research on their own!
