Hamilton Events headed to the Big Apple on March 23rd to attend The Wedding Salon, a luxury wedding showcase hosted by the president of 4pm Events, Tatiana Byron. We got the opportunity to mingle with the nation's finest wedding vendors and roamed the floor to bring home the latest event trends. Let me recap our fun day...
Lindsey, my mom and I met up with Kelly Steadman (All Things Beautiful), Jonnaysa Kirkham (Planned Perfection), Leslie Gilbert (Leslie Gilbert Photography), and Kris McElligott (KM Photography). We all met up at Rockefeller Center, and to our surprise Mario Lopez got out of a cab to tape an Extra segment! What a way to start off our day in NYC! We then headed to lunch at Saks Fifth Avenue for good food and conversation (mostly relating to weddings).


Now on to the show and wedding related photos... It was then time to walk to The Roosevelt Hotel for The Wedding Salon event. Brides were lined up out the door! 















What event is complete without entertainment?

We then made our way to the ice bar featuring
Hpnotiq liqueur.





Lindsey and tried
Hpnotiq's drink "
Roq Candy", which is made with 2 oz.
Hpnotiq, 1 oz.
Ciroc Vodka and a splash of Pineapple Juice. The drink is poured over ice in a martini glass and garnished with a rock candy stick. I loved the rock candy stick idea!


We also had a taste of
Hpnotiq's "Bubbles 'n Blue" which contained 2 oz.
Hpnotiq and 2 oz. Champagne... yummy! It's the perfect something blue for a wedding in my opinion!
They also had rock candy swizzle sticks at the coffee station:

We loved the way this photography company showcased their work:


And to top the night off... Lindsey and I met Carley, co-founder and Editor in
Chief of The Knot, Inc.
What a great time we had in New York City at The Wedding Salon with our friends, and we even left with fabulous (but very heavy) goody bags to prove it!

We can't wait to put these great tips and trends that we took away from the show to use, so let us know what you'd like to see at your wedding and we'll make it happen!
Cheers!
