details checked as the fourth staging of the premier wedding and

event-planning exhibition got underway. The Jamaica Bridal Expo 2015,

held at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in the second city became home

to — Friday, September 19 – Sunday, September 20 — over 40 registered

as well as lighting and production — the ballroom at the Convention

also live entertainment by local musicians including the Bung Guh Lhung

Steel Band, vocalist Rory Frankson, the Young Jamaica Ensemble, and
