APRIL 11-17, 2018 UCW 13
Wedding season is fast
approaching, and in anticipa-
tion, SkyView on Hay presents
its first annual Wedding Open
House on Sunday, April 15,
from 1-6 p.m. Here, brides-
and grooms-to-be will find all
things wedding-related, from
cake to couture.
"This event is our first
event of this t ype, and it is a
time for the public to see the
space that we offer to hold
weddings, ceremonies, recep-
tions and things like that,"
said Lindsay Salisbur y, assistant manager of
Sk yView on Hay. "It is also a time for the public
to interact with local vendors that offer awe-
some services; this is ver y different from the
usual bridal show."
Salisbury added that the aim is to bring brides
and grooms the full wedding experience.
The wedding showcase will feature mock set-
ups of the ceremony, reception and social hour
that include décor, food, entertainment and
vendors who are chosen for those spaces.
"We are anticipating about 24 hand-selected
vendors to participate in our open house,"
said Salisbur y. "It is a time for potential
clients to speak one-on-one w it h t hese local
vendors as well as myself and our
manager, K rista Giles, about what
t hey need."
Some of the vendors include Elite
Catering, The Belmont Village,
Indigo Earth Events, Debbie Bender
Designs, ANG Event Management,
Platinum Event DJs and Digital
Connect to the Digital World. "We
are also going to have our table that
gives a favor to the early birds that
come," said Salisbury. "They will
also be given a chance to sign our
wedding guest book and be entered
for a raff le prize during the event."
Salisbury summed up the appeal of the event:
"Instead of going to a bridal show, you will see a
booth in which you will be able to walk up and see
different mock-ups of what it could look like for
your event.
"It will really give potential clients an idea and
a visual as far as what they are looking for, and it
gives them time for more one-on-one interaction
with these vendors."
The Wedding Open House on April 15 is free and
open to the public. For more informa-
