My name is Thelma Nichols with Unique Events by T. Nichols LLC; I'm the owner & event planner of this company. This is my 6th Annual Wedding & Event Showcase that I host. The reason I started this event is because as a new business owner, it was too expensive for me to participate in the local bridal expos. Therefore, I decided to create my own in a small hotel conference room to help local business owners and entrepreneurs such as myself reach their target audience. I had around 6 vendors to participate and maybe 30 to 35 attendees to attend the event but I felt it was a success. The following year, the vendor participation had increased so I had to move it to a recreation center and now to a reception hall. As I continue to grow I would like for you to grow with me as being a vendor to promote our businesses, products and/or services together. I'm looking for wedding industry vendors, direct sales, local business owners and all entrepreneurs; remember this is a wedding & event showcase and networking is key to success.
