When our wedding professionals<\/a> join Forever Bride, they don’t just get placed on a website…they become part of our community\u2013\u2013no, family.<\/p>\n

And the best part of being a Forever Bride member is not only are they being introduced to their dream brides, our vendors are given the opportunity to connect with other wedding professionals in the area.<\/p>\n

So last month we held a Vendor Appreciation Night<\/em> for our incredible vendors. Because after a long wedding season, we wanted to take some time to celebrate them!Our vendors work so hard + deserve to be celebrated and appreciated for everything they do.<\/p>\n

Gathering around an evening of food + drinks, swag bags, prizes, great music + an opportunity to meet new friends, we had the greatest night possible. Thank you to all of our amazing vendors!! We look forward to more celebrations + events like this!<\/p>\n

Here’s a reel from the memorable night, taken by RaeLyn Nicole Photography<\/a>:<\/p>\n
