International Wedding Festival Adds A Bay Area Virtual Wedding Expo
COVID-19 has disrupted wedding plans for thousands of couples, causing date changes, loss of dates altogether and a LOT of confusion. Wedding planning can feel challenging, but adding a global pandemic on top of wedding planning seems unbearable. International Wedding Festival sympathizes with couples and the frustration they are surely feeling.
The International Wedding Festival announced their addition of Virtual Wedding Festivals to create a platform for couples to meet with Bay Area wedding professionals and get their questions answered and their wedding plans well underway! Couples and wedding professionals will meet on the same day, during specified hours (just like a live event) to plan weddings! Couples will register as they normally would, except for one BIG change... Tickets are free for the 2020 virtual shows.
The first VIRTUAL International Wedding Festival will be held in Bay Area on September 27th from 11am - 2:30pm and will be powered by Virtually Events, a California-based Virtual Event Platform.
Kimberly Vaughan, Executive Director of International Wedding Festival shares, " We just want couples to find everything they need, see the latest trends, and meet the professionals that will take their vision and turn it into a reality. We have been meeting virtually with wedding professionals over the last few months to discuss what tools would be most important in a virtual setting. Our wedding pros have expressed that they want to have live conversations with couples during the virtual show, be able to see and interface with couples in real-time as if they were at a live event, share their information, brochures and handouts at the online event, and setup personal, one on one meetings with individual couples. Couples would like to find the right wedding professionals for their wedding, get their many quesitons answered and see the latest trends. I think we have come up with a solution that accomplishes the needs of couples and providers"
Couples will be able to chat, zoom, download information, schedule individual meetings, watch seminars and runway fashion shows. This is a great opportunity for couples to get much of their planning finalized and gain answers to their questions in real time.
