First Farragut Bridal Fair to have 28 vendors April 18
Inagural Farragut Bridal Fair is set to run from 1 to 5 p.m., Sunday, April 18, in Farragut Community Center, 239 Jamestowne Blvd.
It will be hosted by Shop Farragut/Farragut Business Alliance. “Ever since the Town of Farragut completed the renovations to the new Community Center, we have been wanting to bring a show like this to the west side of the Knox County community,” said Candace Viox, Alliance board chair and owner of Water into Wine bistro & lounge.
“There is so much happening and growing in our area that needs to be supported and exposed, especially now as our businesses come out of this pandemic.”
This free Bridal event, open to the public, “is intended to help make planning decisions for prospective brides and grooms easier and enjoyable,” an SF/FBA press release stated. “The Farragut Bridal Fair will allow the betrothed to shop wedding-related products and services, then compare quality and price before making their final decisions. There also will be businesses there that will help them explore their needs as a couple living together well into the future.
“Farragut Bridal Fair will offer an efficient way to review what is available in the West Knoxville marketplace,” the release further stated.
“We are pleased to have 28 vendors representing a variety of products at this inaugural event,” said Steve Krempasky, Alliance executive director. “I think this is just the beginning of what we hope will become a spring tradition on this side of Knoxville.”
Guests can check out gowns and tuxes, sample the caterers, plan the parties, find the right music and search the jewelry. Additionally, there will be models showing a wide range of wedding attire coordinated by Sherry Hovan of Lace and Glam Bridal Shop, located in West End Shopping Center in Farragut.
“We are delighted to make this trade show free to everyone,” Krempasky stated. “It is only possible through our major sponsors, including Knoxville TVA Employees Credit Union, All Occasions Party Rental, SouthEast Bank, The Venue at Lenoir City and Laura Ash State Farm Agency. Our in-kind supporters will help make the event very festive and enjoyable with music and decorations sponsored by Bellario’s Tailored Tuxedos and Above The Rest Balloon and Event Designs.”
The Fair’s mission is to provide the opportunity to actually talk to event professionals and ask the questions that will make nuptial couples and maybe even their parents, relaxed and comfortable as the special day approaches.
