The Palazzo Venue
Throughout the evening, couples and their guests will have time to browse vendor displays, ask questions, and connect with local professionals. Then, everyone will enjoy Tuscan Chicken Pasta for dinner while participating in one of the most valuable parts of the event; a live panel featuring our participating vendors.
Brides will have the opportunity to ask anything about the wedding planning process like timelines, budgeting, etiquette, common mistakes, vendor expectations, and more. The goal is to provide honest, professional advice that helps you feel confident as you plan one of the most important events in your lives.
