In this blog post, you will find a recap of the event and a list of different vendors that were present at the Toronto Bridal Brunch from caterers, wedding cakes, florists, photo booths; you name it! Special thanks to Sandi from Foodaholic Blog for bringing me along to the event because she knows how much I adore brunch for any occasion!
The Event
On Sunday April 7th, Toronto Bridal Brunch gathered the city’s best Wedding vendors at the Globe and Mail Centre for a luxurious bridal show and brunch celebration! Brides to be and their bridesmaids, friends and family arrived at the event looking all glammed up & were treated to an ultimate girl’s day out surrounded by breathtaking views of the city from the Globe and Mail Centre’s 17th floor. Waiting for the guests were French inspired breakfast pastries, an array of vendors and onstage demonstrations showcasing the latest and greatest in trends and products and of course, industry leaders sharing their knowledge and experience to make your special day a magical wedding!
Upon arrival, guests were asked to check in at the registration table where the staff confirmed your phone # and pre-selected brunch time slot. Guests were then free to wander around the event at their leisure and would receive a friendly text when their tables were ready for brunch.
