Vows: Wedding Spectacular 2016 – Part 1
Intuit Concepts — producers, marketers and event managers of the Wedding Spectacular brand — was back at the Hope Botanical Gardens for another stellar production of the Scotiabank Wedding Spectacular last Sunday. The one-stop bridal showcase highlighted the products and services offered by our local vendors — from bridal hair and make-up, wedding dresses or tuxedos, to décor and rental services, cakes, florists, jewellery, catering and everything in-between. Now in its fifth staging, the ‘all things bridal’ exhibition is also well recognised as the island’s largest annual one-day bridal showcase. Over 70 exhibitors displayed their wares to introduce to, and educate some 2,000 patrons — including approximately 600 brides-to-be.
This year was no different as the Wedding Spectacular team, known to attract international celebs and big wigs in the industry, hosted international model/actor and eyewear designer Bobby Roaché, who used the opportunity to launch his unisex eyewear collection on The Rock. Adding to the surprises, the team at Scotiabank, title sponsors of Wedding Spectacular 2016, afforded patrons free massages by way of Adam & Eve Day Spa representatives, as well as facials and consultations with Ettenio beauty aficionados. In addition, Scotiabank announced giveaways of a $95,000 spa and overnight stay at Strawberry Hill Hotel, and a photography package from renowned wedding photographer Marcia E Roberts valued at $150,000. Other sponsors included the Jamaica Observer, VantageOne Events & Rentals, Black Tie Entertainment — who handled the well-thought-out entertainment package from start to finish — and Fontana Pharmacy. Scrumptious local fare was provided by Murray’s Fish & Jerk Hut, and the closing event was the bridal fashion show which featured designs from House of Neahlis, House of Clay, Minka, Sandy’s Collection, and selections from bridal fashion houses White Lotus Bridal Boutique and Petals & Promises.
