I’m fresh back from my first expeience as an exhibitor at a trade show. JD and I went to all the shows last year to scope them out, and decided to take a chance on this one, the Seattle Fall Wedding Expo. It was a long, tiring weekend, but acutally quite fun and rewarding. I’ve already booked my first Wedding because of the show (Thanks, Lisa!).
I’m particularly proud of how our booth looked. I must give all credit where credit is due, and tell you that it was designed by JD. She picked the colors, fabrics, give-aways, etc. She keeps saying “It’ll be better next time” but I think it looked pretty darned good this time!
One of the treats of the show was being situated across from Jeff LaPlante, a fantasitc photographer and a super nice guy. He’s a veteran of these shows and was very helpful in getting us through it with a smile on our faces. If you’re looking for a photographer, you should go talk to Jeff.
I also had the opportunity to perform with my band on the mainstage as a prelude to the Fashion Show. Joining me were Josh Rawlings on piano, Nate Omdal on bass and Dvonne Lewis on drums. With a band like that, how could I go wrong? Thanks to the guys for playing with me.
Here’s a couple photos of our Saturday performance, taken by Jeff La Plante:
