We performed at our penultimate bridal show of the season Sunday at Monmouth University.  We’ve been busy since the beginning of the year, showcasing almost once a week, so it feels good to be wrapping things up.  Bridal Shows are a great way to meet some future couples but they are also a lot of work so it’ll be nice to put a bow on our 2017 Winter showcasing schedule soon.

The other thing we love about doing shows is catching up with some wedding professionals we haven’t seen in a  while.  Sunday we got to say hello to Don from Clark’s Landing and Fred from the Channel Club.  Plus it was our first chance to see Gerda from Artist European Photography since she got married.

We tweaked our showcase just a bit too.  The day before Chuck Berry had passed away so instead of opening the dance segment like we usually do with “The Twist” we began with “You Never Can Tell” during which we showed a montage of photos of the late great rock and roll legend on our TVs.  I think it was a fitting tribute.

Something I’m really proud of too is a change I’ve made to our shows when we showcase with FNA Events.  We showcased with them back in January and I took a step back and watched their show and I thought it looked silly that our TVs were off during their performance.  They would do the same thing during our showcase.  I asked Chuck and Kyle if they’d be willing to put our logo on their screens during our performance and we of course would do the same while they showcases.  As I watched the show on Sunday I was happy with the way things looked.  I think it’s important to have a good relationship with our competitors and this was just one subtle step for us all to show we get along great.

If you want to see Elite perform at a Bridal Show you’ve got one more chance this month.  We’ll be at The Channel Club on Thursday March 30th.  Let us know if you’d like to make reservations to come to that show.

Our grand finale!
