Black Sheep Bride Speed Vendor Event

Black Sheep Bride Speed Dating Bridal Expo Event 

When: Thursday, 8/28 from 6-8pm

Where: Black Sheep Restaurant Rooftop
1534 Oak St, Jacksonville, Fl 32204

What: We will be trying out a new school concept to old school wedding networking events, Speed Dating for Brides and Vendors. The evening will start off with appetizers and mingling, then we will begin the speed dating cycles. Each Bride will have 3-5 minutes with each vendor. Vendors and Brides will both have a basic information about each other before the event starts and we will be covering the basics in each chat: 1. Vendor's Style/Offerings/Samples 2. Basic Pricing 3. How the vendor gives back with their time, $, or product to causes they are passionate about.

How: The bride will have a communication card listing her basic information and each vendor's name with check boxes that identify if she is interested or not in pursuing the booking further. We will get all contact information to the appropriate vendors the next day.

Why: It is said It only takes 7 seconds to make a first impression, so If we can begin to network with newly engaged brides and create an intimate, friendly environment (without the chaos or craziness of bridal expo layouts) with like minded peers and professionals.... 7 seconds should be all it takes, but we will give ya a few minutes just for fun!

Which came first?

The check depositing or the thank you card? 

After you get married you may wonder which to do first. Deposit the gift checks or send out the thank you card. Deposit the checks as soon as you can. If you are leaving for the honeymoon the next day and will not have to go to the bank ask a trusted family member or friend. You may want to splurge on your honeymoon and go on an extra adventure and these funds were given for you to enjoy, so indulge. As with all wedding presents, it is best to not delay sending thank-you notes. Add this task to the top of you to do list as soon as you return from the post nuptial adventures.

Wedding Ceremony in New Smyrna Beach

Beautiful ceremonies can take place oceanside. One of our favorite places to do so is in New Smyrna Beach. There is great parking and some locations have very few visitors on the beach. This gives the secluded feel without the prices of having your wedding in Cabo San Lucas.
