BrideWorld Expo

Brideword produces the BEST Bridal show in town.
They bring together the best vendors and quality bride.
I’ve been working with them since 1999 and as a vendor, they are great to work with.
I participated in the show on January 10,2016 and by Tuesday, January 12,2016,I booked my first wedding.

I attended a few Bride World expos when I was planning my wedding and was so pleased! Every expo had tons of vendors and it helped the wedding planning process go so smoothly! I even booked most of the vendors that I met through the shows. It was so nice to be able to meet them in person! Best of all, all of the companies were really professional and my wedding was definitely the best day of my life! I completely recommend Bride World to other Brides during the planning process!

Just attended the bride world expo with my girlfriend, was pleasantly surprised by all the vendors. Was impressed on the overall level of organization. Plenty of options for every single type of vendor you could imagine. So many tuxedo options for men. I can’t tell you how much food and cake I got from the vendors. Honestly it was completely male friendly. We’re on a budget so we got our tickets online for half what they would be at the door. Overall my girlfriend myself and my girlfriends family have all had positive experiences at the two brideworld expos we’ve been to.

WOW! This bridal show is HUGE! AHHHH so many vendors to see and talk to! Pretty much you can plan your entire wedding here if you want to! LOL
Met a couple of photographers that I really loved and me and my bridal party had fun taking pics in some of the photo booths!
The one I went to was the 2-​day one at the LA Convention Center. If you plan on bringing your fiancé, I recommend going on a Saturday instead of Sunday bc my fiancé was trying to rush me and my bridal party bc he wanted to watch football! Finally told him to go across the street to a sports bar and I’ll just make the decision on everything lol
Also, make sure you get the free bridal magazines they give out at the show. Got a Knot magazine and was super happy I did bc those mags are like $ 7-​$ 10 on newsstands! YAY!
TIP: try to register in advance so you can get labels with your wedding contact info to give to vendors. I showed up at the door with my fiancé and my 2 bridesmaids last minute and I wish I had the labels. I saw so many vendors and I had to write out my info. Actually, made the fiancé write down all of our info so he probably annoyed he had to do that and he was missing football lol I love him! :)

Went to a more than a few bridal shows as we were planning. All kinds from small ones to high dollar ones.
I went to one that was so quiet that I wanted to lay down a take a nap as the fiancé walked around. This one had A LOT of vendors and a really good energy. Only negative was that it’s during the playoffs. BUT once your done meeting people, eating free desserts and getting some good ideas, there’s like 10 places to go watch games and grab some beers within walking distance.
If you have to go to a couple this is definitely a good option. Bring some single guys, there’s a lot of single girls walking around with brides:)

I have been an exhibitor in three of the Bride World Expos. This is a first rate operation. I have been more than pleased with the bookings I got as a result of these shows (I own a Candy Buffet business). The staff I have interacted with have always been extremely professional and helpful. I am not sure exactly what they do to advertise the shows, but there were several hundred brides at each of the ones that I was a part of, far more than another bridal show that I exhibited in prior to discovering Brideworld Expo. I recently relocated to Texas, and am trying to grow my business here… I just wish that they did their Expos out here, as I am having a hard time finding one as good here.

I just came back from this very disappointed expo. Yes, I came in on Sunday morning rather than Saturday but what I was expecting were tons of vendors with good prices. There were vendors, but not 180+ as advertised. Some vendors were nice and we were able to get information and pricing but others were standoffish and wouldn’t give you the time and day.
Also, I was looking to purchase a wedding dress there because they claimed to have tons of dresses to try on but what I saw were only a few racks of dresses (I get it, they must’ve had tons of dresses on Saturday) but the worst part was when I was told by the consultant that I’m able to only TRY ON whatever I’m going to PURCHASE. So, what if it doesn’t fit? I will be obligated to buy it because I tried it on. That’s a bunch of bs, IMO. And, they were only from Mariposa, so what happened to the other Bridal shops?
I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. You’re better off going directly to the vendors and asking for pricing then to waste time and money for parking.

I got something in the mail that allowed me get 5 people in for free. That’s the ONLY reason I am giving two points. If I had had to pay, I would have been very disappointed.
NOTHING fun. If there were actually 180 vendors there as promised, I’ll eat my hat. They MAYBE have 70? There were doing a sample sale of dresses from Mariposa… maybe they were counting the designers as «vendors»? That’s the only way I could count 180.
No cake tasting, only a few bridesmaid dress retailers. If you are looking for a venue, this MIGHT be worth it, but if you already have a venue, it’s a waste of time.
There were at least 4 vendors selling time shares. There was even a REAL ESTATE agent there doing a «raffle». Why? So that you would sign up as part of her mailing list.
There was a good selection of photographers, but since I already have my wedding photographer, and was looking only for engagement photography, they pretty much ignored me.
I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.

Such a great expo for brides who are looking for vendors and ideas! The first expo I attended with BrideWorld was at the LA Convention Center and there were a ton of vendors. I won a $ 400 gift certificate for laser hair removal and there were lots of goodies to take from the booths. I went with all of my bridesmaids and made a day of it. We had brunch and mimosas, walked around the expo, and had a blast!
The second expo I attended was in Pasadena and this is where I found my photographer and lighting vendor. We even got a free pair of pearl earrings! I went with my mom and the cake samples were my favorite!!!
I got there close to the start time for both expos and didn’t have to wait in line or deal with the crowds. BrideWorld is a great resource for any bride and is a fun way to spend the day with family or friends. Thank you BrideWorld!

Pretty much a waste of time. It’s just vendors handing you business cards and brochures. I was hoping for more ideas, inspirations, and fun stuff, but it’s just businesses. No free samples. Well one cake sample. Disappointing. And watch out for the guy offering a free, no strings attached raffle — he’s just trying to sell you a time share.
Also, yeah, a really long wait to get in — the line wasn’t long, they just were really slow at checking people in. $ 15 parking, plus $ 8 to get in.

Deducted one star for the long line, about a twenty minute wait. The person who took our money forgot to stamp us, but it was not a hassle to go back and get a stamp.
Once inside the venue I expected it to be crowded and hard to move around, but we were able to visit every section and chat with the vendors we were interested in. Some of the vendors are extremely chatty and helpful. It’s definitely better to talk to the owners rather the assistants. They know more and can answer your questions.
The prices for everything seemed reasonable, not just for high end. I would say this is for brides looking to for a budget wedding to mid-​priced. If you’re going budget you can «borrow» ideas.
My friend, the bride, already has a venue and photographer so we only stopped at the booths for the vendors she was still in need of. That helped make it less overwhelming. We managed to go through everything in an hour.
I would say this is ideal if you’re looking for vendors, but not wedding dresses. The dresses are discounted but still 1500 – 2000 and the line to try on is long. I would suggest just going to a bridal shop and making an appointment.
As with all expos some vendors offered discounts on rentals and purchases that didn’t all have to be purchased day of but in the next few weeks.

The best So Cal bridal show out there! Tons of top notch vendors! I booked my photographer and DJ through Brideworld and they did a fantastic job! Hands down I would recommend this show for meeting some of the best vendors in the industry!

Brides: skip this one!
I was at the recent Bride World Expo at the LA Convention Center on Sunday, 1÷20÷13. First of all, the parking was horrible and we waited in line to park for over 30 minutes. Once my fiancé and I got inside the expo we were very disappointed. The variety of vendors was lacking. There were very few wedding venue sites, no caterers and only one cake vendor which was so crowded we couldn’t even try a single piece of cake. In addition, I could not believe that there was a time share company trying to get us to give them money. Not only are they not related to weddings in any way whatsoever, there were extremely pushy and rude. Lastly, I keep getting emails from vendors that I did not visit (on purpose) at the show.
