Does it feel like you just followed along and read all about The First Look, our annual wedding show that happened this past April at Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery? Yeah, it feels like that for us too! The planning never stops around here and just because we have another successful show under our belts doesn’t mean we’re taking a break; we have been dreaming and planning for our next show in the spring!

What our past vendors are saying about the first look
Curious about what makes The First Look Wedding Show such a unique experience? Stories from our past vendors speak to the pure magic that unfolds when creativity meets collaboration within the wedding industry.
“Not only was it great to interact with all the guests and actually get to know them and their vision for the perfect day, but the connections that we made with other vendors was wonderful. It is truly a great industry to be a part of, building each other up to help make everyone’s day just a little more special.”

“You did an incredible job organizing this event and showcasing all your vendors. You transformed Ravine into an even more beautiful space and created a warm, inviting, and fun environment for all of the couples. Every couple we spoke with was having an incredible day!”

“I want to say that the quality of guests that came through our booth was phenomenal. Everyone seemed interested and had meaningful conversations with us. A highlight was connecting with couples and having them discover our services. It was a pleasure to hear how much they loved out Photo Booth and wanted us for their weddings.”

“I thought everything was very well done and there was so much attention to detail. I would love to be a bride attending The First Look - the Bride and Squad buttons, the swag bags, live music, and cocktails - it’s all so beautifully done!”
— Frilly Bits
“We sent out our correspondence emails within two days of the show and instantly received a response from a couple saying they would like to book with us once they finalize their venue. These were very high quality leads and the show felt special and so well executed.”
— Seven Event Rentals
“We were really happy with the show. We loved the venue, the number of vendors, the guests were great. It was such a warm and welcoming environment - the entire team was a dream to work with and to top it off all of the guests were a pleasure to speak with. You’ve done an amazing job of creating an exceptional wedding show.”

“As a new business we had the opportunity to connect with so many other amazing vendors who have been working in the wedding industry for longer. They were all incredibly supporting and all shared countless anecdotes of their early days in the business with us. It was such an amazing opportunity to connect with, learn from, and build relationships with other vendors that will continue beyond The First Look. We love supporting other small businesses and are looking forward to future collaborations with these vendors! Stay tuned!”

“Organized, beautiful, helpful. All positive notes!”
— Red Bicycle Paper Co.
“A highlight was the love I felt from you! You went over the top to still help me “show up” and I can’t even begin to tell you how awesome that made me feel. Other shows would have just been like “sorry not sorry!” but you were so personable, helpful, and most importantly, understanding. I’m so thankful and grateful for your kindness.”
