This show is ideal for attracting brides from Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia as well as the metropolitan areas of Frederick, Montgomery County, Baltimore, and Washington DC.
The Blue Ridge Winter Bridal Marketplace Show (BRBS) at ADC will showcase leading wedding venues, accommodations, and wedding professionals. For the first time, this wedding show’s emphasis will shift two four theater screens. This is not an “arena” event. The participating wedding professionals will show potential brides and grooms on a 20’ x 50’ cinema screens beautiful wedding destinations in the Blue Ridge Shenandoah Valley. These vary from country inns, golf clubs, restored hotels, museums, vineyards to very unique locations like Shenandoah Caverns and America On Parade to the Charles Town Races and Slots. Also attending the show will be leading experts available to assist the bride in planning a spectacular and unforgettable wedding in the Blue Ridge. All of this will be presented as a Hi Tech Digital Wedding Shopping Experience Event.
“Vendors participating in this show believe that brides today have changed and do their major research and booking of the vendors on the web. For this reason, we want our bridal show to ‘Think Out of the Box’ and give the brides what they want “An Internet experience but in a relaxed theater where they can have a glass of wine or beverage of their choice and see the top the Blue Ridge wedding industry has to offer,” says Nancy Craun, President of Blue Ridge Bridal Shows. “For the brides not from the Blue Ridge but looking for a beautiful wedding destination without adding air fare to their budget, just one hour away or less is the Blue Ridge Shenandoah Valley. Let us introduce you to the best the Blue Ridge has to offer.”
The doors will open at Noon on Sunday January 24, 2010. You, your friends, and family will walk into the show to find a wonderful marketplace that will make coordinating each element of your wedding a breeze. Haven’t found a photographer? A wedding location? No problem, we’ve brought some of the area’s finest vendors to one location for one very special day.
What is a Hi Tech Digital Wedding Shopping Experience?

And what about the guy in your life – BRBS is giving him his own theater where he can relax with the guys, watch ESPN sports and find out what is on his wedding check off list.

Even Dad can join the group – relax and wait for you to pull him out to see the site where you have always dreamed to have your wedding.
This show is all about the three R’s -
Relax * Read * React!
“We know that brides are very interested in planning their wedding, but have changed how ‘they plan,’” adds Craun. “The wedding industry needs to get in the 21st century of hi tech communication and marketing. We are small and it is much easier for us to change and adapt than the larger bridal shows. The Blue Ridge Bridal Shows offer “Small Town Intimacy with High End Wedding Destinations.” Our Winter Bridal Marketplace will certainly be an exciting show and one not to be missed.”
