Anyone who has planned a wedding knows that the perfect wedding day masterpiece is created from months of meticulous planning with a myriad of choices along the way. Every detail from the most minute to the most grand must be orchestrated and coordinated in perfect harmony. From disc jockeys to bands, make-up artists to hair stylists, florists to favors, photographers to videographers, bridal dresses to accessories, rings to reception halls, invitations to thank-you’s, every decision on the way to creating the fairytale wedding is important to the overall success of the big day. With so much to consider, wedding planning can be a daunting task to say the least. 

The Original Wedding Expo is coming to Marlborough with over a hundred bridal merchants to help make the planning process a little easier. There will be live music, dance instruction, and a plethora of information at the ready. Here, visitors are encouraged to sample cakes and appetizers and even compete in a dance challenge (complete with prizes)! There will be stage giveaway prizes on both days and a 4-day Aruba honeymoon grand prize awarded on Sunday.
