The To Have and To Hold Bridal Show will be held on September 17, 2023, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Market at Visit Statesboro, 222 South Main Street, where the weekly Statesboro Main Street Farmers Market is held. This venue will present the numerous nuptial options couples have thanks to several wedding experts and vendors in our area and is organized by Elevated Events and Visit Statesboro.
Couples will register, and once they enter, they will be able to browse businesses that will cover every aspect of their special day. There will be more than 60 wedding vendors, educational demonstrations, drawings and giveaways, live performances, and much more, including a cash grand prize.
Every facet of this experience can be included in the attendees’ weddings; for example, a violin quartet playing at the entrance may be booked for a cocktail hour. The music provided by local artists or a DJ company may be scheduled for a reception. Couples may find their wedding cake in a sample they taste. It will be a delightful day filled with local talent that will enhance one of the most important days in a couple’s journey together.
