On January 28, 2023, the staff of Coastal Virginia Magazine and Coastal Virginia Weddings welcomed hundreds of brides, grooms, friends and family into the Founders Inn and Spa for the Coastal Virginia Weddings Showcase. Guests were able to connect with the finest wedding industry professionals – offering a range of services from venues and caterers to photographers, lighting, décor and more – and had the opportunity to win some incredible giveaways throughout the day.
The event concluded with an upbeat fashion show of trending bridal gowns, featuring styles from Ellaz Bridal, Leora Bridal and Milk & Honey Bride with all hair and makeup by Unveiled Beauty Lounge.
Colonial DJs’ Jeff Bristow facilitated and announced our giveaways alongside Event Coordinator Hayley Thomas, including our 2 grand prize honeymoon giveaways and scavenger hunt courtesy of Colonial DJs. Coastal Virginia Weddings editor Leona Baker also awarded the Best Vendor Display Award to Kreatively Chic Events.
