Wedding Tastings/Showcases in NoVA
Posted by The Editorial Desk / Thursday, January 13th, 2011
To say “planning a wedding is stressful” is an understatement. Although I’ve never planned a wedding before, if you are planning without a wedding planner, I can understand the scramble to fastidiously put together the details of a dream wedding. It can seem like a nightmare frantically picking a date, choosing a venue, caterers, florists, photographer, décor and all the other drama with finding the perfect dress, picking bridesmaids and their dresses, invitations, seating, etc.
Acquiring the ideal dress would be my first priority, however there are probably a million other details to focus on- such as the food served at the reception and of course, the wedding cake. Here are three wedding showcases/tastings (which are coming up) that may help future brides prepare for their big day.
January 19, 5p.m. – 8p.m.
Washington Masonic Memorial Temple
101 Callahan Drive Alexandria, VA 22301
R & R Catering is having an open house tasting event at George Washington Masonic Memorial Temple. Attendees will be handed a menu when coming in, sample food, desserts, meet vendors and professional staff, and absorb the ambiance as if it were potentially their wedding. This event will help brides get “a glimpse into an event of large caliber for their decision-making benefit.”
Tickets are $15pp in advance and $20 at the door. RSVP here. Photos here.
January 16, 11a.m. -5p.m.
Washington Convention Center
801 Mount Vernon Place NW, Washington, DC
January 23, 11a.m. -5p.m.

Washington Bridal Showcase is having two showcases in January (at different places). Attendees will be sampling and tasting prospective food to be served at their wedding, seek expert advice and enjoy an eco-friendly fashion show. They will also be able to find more information for bands/orchestras, gift registries, calligraphers, fitness and weight loss, honeymoon sites, jewelry, photo booth rentals and more.
Tickets are $8pp in advance and $10 at the door. RSVP here.
