Sponsorships for the show:

The following positions are open for show sponsorships:

 Models for the Fashion Show

Keynote Speakers

At each show there is an educational seminar immediately following the fashion

show. It is not an ad or speech that says,

“Hire me because I can do this for you.” It is truly helpful information that brides

need to be aware of so that they can make better decisions when hiring their

wedding vendors. (Ex. Don’t hire a family member/beginner friend to do your

wedding photography.)

I believe it is my duty to educate these brides about the industry so they are less

fearful and more excited about weddings and working with their vendors. I would

love it if you would share your knowledge and helpful information with these

brides. If you are interested in being a keynote speaker at the event, contact T.J. Finn at (936) 657-8012

Rules, Terms and Conditions:

1) BE ON TIME. Setup will begin at 8:00 a.m. and all booths must be completed by 9:50 a.m.

2) LEAVE ON TIME.The show officially ends at 4:00 p.m., but due to the nature of the show and

Brides meeting with vendors, You MUST not begin breakdown of your booth before 4:00 p.m. If you pack up, begin unpacking early, or physically leave the show before 4:00pm you will not be allowed to attend future shows as a vendor.

3) BE PROFESSIONAL. Be polite and courteous to Brides and her guests. If any complaints are

given by the brides, you will not be invited back for any future shows. If a bride isn’t interested, say

thanks for stopping by and let them move along. We are in the customer service and hospitality

industry folks, be nice to others and we’ll all have a good time.

4) BE INTERACTIVE.During the show be willing to introduce yourself and explain to Brides who

you are, what you do and ask for their business. If you sit behind your booth/table and don’t make an

effort to earn a bride’s business then it is your own fault for not booking brides.

5) NO OUTSIDE SOLICITATION. If there are businesses who are visiting the show to see what

we’re about, they are not allowed to solicit any brides for their business. Swapping business cards

with vendors is allowed. If an outside/visiting business is handing out their information or leaving

their business cards in “convenient locations” for brides to pick up, they will be immediately and

politely asked to leave and not allowed to be in any future shows. If you witness this during the show

at any time, please notify T.J. Finn ASAP.

6) Food & Beverage Handler’s License. All Caterers and food handlers must have their Texas Food

and Beverage Handling License. Please scan Food Handler’s License to

thebcboa@gmail.com along with your application forms. The only vendors who are

exempt from this rule are vendors who sell items like: Scentsy, Mary Kay, Jewelry, Accessories and

things of that nature. If you are unsure of your category please call T.J. Finn  with your questions.

7) Door Prizes. Each Vendor is required to donate a door prize with a minimum value of $100. The door prizes will be given away during different times throughout the event. The prize must be turned in with your registration. Door prizes may not be coupons that require an additional purchase. They must be in the form of gift cards, and or gift baskets. We prefer that you spilt the door prize in to smaller prizes such as four $25 gift cards instead of a single $100 gift card.

8.) Market the Show. Vendors need to help market the show by sharing the show information on

their social media sites, websites, and in their place of business. Each vendor will receive marketing material

via email.
