A sparkling selection of tiaras will be on show by Adina Bridal and Ivory & Co. as well as a host of jewellers who will really make the Big Day dazzle.

The Harrogate Wedding Show Featured On The Radio

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Bev talking about the Harrogate Wedding Show on the Radio Get Adobe Flash player

Here’s the transcript from Bev’s appearance.

David:
I’m down, live at the UK Wedding Show, it’s on at the Harrogate International Centre. It started yesterday, today’s the last day. It kicked off just over an hour ago at 10 O’clock, it runs until 5 today, and I’m joined now by the event organiser, Bev Howard.

It is the first time the show has come to Harrogate.
Good morning Bev

Bev:
Morning

David:
It’s your first time in Harrogate, how’s the show going for you so far?

Bev:
We’re really, really pleased with the response so far. We had a fantastic day yesterday, and all the public who have come through the doors have really enjoyed the show.

Everyone seems to have gone away happy, there’s lots for them to see and do here. It’s a fun filled day, and people should come down and see what we’ve got to offer today.

David:
So if you’re thinking of getting married, you’re in the car, driving around North Yorkshire, and you’ve just popped the question, it might be a year away or whatever, tell me what you could find here, because I’ve had a quick look around, and there seems to be everything, from the cars right through to what to wear, the venue, what to eat. There seems to be everything, isn’t there.

Bev:
Yes, there is, there’s a vast selection. We’ve got lots of bridal wear for the bride, outfits for the mother of the bride and the groom, we have jewellers, stationers, photographers, we’ve even got an owl here, a ring bearer to carry the rings down the aisle, which is quite new. There’s plenty to see, there’s cars as you’ve mentioned, they’re all here in the venue, you can have a look at them, tiaras for the bride, even down to ice bags for gifts. Plenty of cake companies, and we’ve got a fantastic fashion show that’s taking place three times a day. That goes out at 12, 2 and 4pm.

David:
Right, so we’ve got literally 45 minutes until the next one, and there’s one again at 4 o’clock.

Bev:
And there’s one at 2 o’clock as well.

David:
And 2 o’clock as well. So really, instead of tramping round the shops, when you’re getting married. The ring shop, the dress shop, and the car, just come down here, and it’s all here isn’t it?

Bev:
It’s all here under one roof, for you to walk around at your leisure, have a chat to the specialists in all these areas, see whether there’s anything suitable for yourself, take the advice, go away with the show guide with all the details in for all the people who are here today, and see what it’s all about.

See a wonderful show, we’ve got live entertainment on stage prior to each of the fashion shows as well, if that’s something else that you’re considering. Plenty of venues here, if you haven’t already booked a venue. So there is literally everything that you could possibly want when you are considering the day, and if there’s only a few things left that you have to do, I’m sure you’ll find inspiration here at the show.

David:
That’s great, thanks very much, that’s Bev Howard, she’s the event organiser at The UK Wedding Shows. It’s on all day today, it’s on until 5 this afternoon, it’s at the Harrogate International Centre, it’s in Hall A on Ripon Road next to the Royal Hall.

Here are some of the photos from the Harrogate Wedding Show:
