As you know, we spent this past weekend at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in downtown Indianapolis exhibiting in the Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show. According to the organizers, more than 900 brides attended the show! We spoke to at least 300 of those, with nearly two-hundred signing up for our drawing (for a copy of the wedding planning software, iDo).

Every bride we spoke with (and I do mean every single one) loved the idea of l'Evento, were excited to have such a resource available, and/or were glad to learn about us (we had a lot of really excited Mothers of the Brides, too). The response was spectacular, and we're so thrilled to have connected with so many engaged central Indiana couples!

To all the new brides with whom we spoke over the weekend - welcome! We look forward to assisting and serving you, and to connecting you with some of the area's finest event professionals!

Congratulations to all the newly engaged couples out there! Since the largest proportion of marriage proposals and ensuing engagements occur between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day, it makes sense that the largest concentration of Bridal Shows occurs during the month of January, just as all those engagements are beginning.
