For Immediate Release,

Bride and Groom Marketing, Producers of The Bridal Extravaganza and TheBrideandGroom.com is excited to announce that it has acquired The Wedding Festival from D & R Tradeshows.

Established in 1977 The Wedding Festival has been the longest running wedding showcase in Utah.  This year it will be at the South Towne Expo Center on January 27th & 28th.

We are excited to have such a storied show as part of our company.  Having The Wedding Festival as another vehicle for wedding professionals to market their business to local brides and grooms provides us more opportunity to help promote and grow the local wedding market in Utah.

Plans are to keep The Wedding Festival as its own entity seperate from The Bridal Extravagnaza shows and run as it was previously run by Rich and Darlene Fredericks. 

Aside from a few small adjustments The Wedding Festival will continue to be run the same as in years past.  It will still be a two day show and will continue to be held at The South Towne Expo Center at the end of January.

We want to wish Rich and Darlene the very best as they push towards retirement and thank them for the opportunity to carry on the tradition of The Wedding Festival here in Utah.

Bride and Groom Marketing is committed to doing everything it can to help market and promote local wedding professionals in Utah  and feels that adding The Wedding Festival to its company will be a great way for brides to gain more awareness of the incredible talents and knowledge of many of the wedding related businesses in Utah.
