What is the ROI of being in the Lansing Bridal Shows?
Whether you’re in one of our shows, or both, the return on your investment is HUGE! Most of our vendors book 10-15 weddings on average which covers the cost of any booth price 5 times over. It’s also a great networking opportunity to book your services with other vendors in attendance or future brides and grooms that are maybe just tagging along with an engaged friend or family member. Not only that, our website and social media platforms are a great tool for brides to find your business and book your servies.

When and where are the Bridal Shows?
Our Bridal Shows are hosted at Eagle Eye Golf & Banquet Center Sunday November 3, 2024 and Sunday January 5, 2025 from 12:00 PM-4:00 PM. We offer our sell out VIP Experience that kicks off the first hour of the show (12:00 PM) which includes a full Brunch buffet, mimosas and/or non-alcoholic beverages, a Bridal Fashion Show hosted by LWA Member Pierre’s Bridal, Prom & Tuxedo and a mini seminar by LWA Wedding Experts. General Admission opens at 1:00 PM.
Is pipe and drape included in my vendor booth costs?
Pipe and drape in not included in your booth cost. You can order pipe and drape through our secure payment portal HERE for an additional $100.00. If you know you’ll want pipe and drape, we suggest ordering that asap as it’s a limited number of booths we can cover.
What time can I set up my booth?
Set up can begin as early as 7:00 AM. All unloading must be completed by 11:00 AM as the doors will lock at 11:01 AM. If you haven’t arrived and unloaded by 11:00 AM, you may not be able to set up your booth. Booth set ups must be completed by 11:30 AM to ensure you’re ready to greet brides as they walk through the doors. The time you have from booth set up completion to the moment the first bride or groom walk through the door is also a great time to network with other vendors, prepare your staff for the conversations ahead with potential clients and take pictures of your booth to post onto social media so brides know you’re here!
When can I tear down my booth?
You can tear down your booth at 4:00 PM – not 3:59. We want to ensure all our brides and grooms have the best experience possible and an early tear down can hinder that. That last minute of the show could be the last minute booking you were hoping to get!
How should my booth look at the Bridal Show?
Your booth(s) should represent your business brand and image. You want to be memorable to the brides and grooms you’ll meet. Many brides choose vendors based on their aesthetic and brand image that best suits the vibes or visions they have for their weddings. Your booth should also be free of chairs – you want to ensure you’re standing, smiling and inviting brides and grooms into your booth by appearing approachable. Below are a few examples of our LWA Vendor Member Booths.
