The Heritage Centre in Niverville will be hosting its annual Wedding Showcase on Saturday, February 25.

“We’ve done this wedding show the same sort of way every year,” says Noella Andres, Media Director for the Heritage Centre. “This year, it’s a bit different.”

The main difference is that unlike previous years, the 2017 Showcase will feature outside vendors for the first time, in addition to highlighting all the amenities and services of the Heritage Centre’s own event centre.

“This year, we’re bringing in other vendors, preferred vendors,” says Andres, referring to the vendors who have close working relationships with the Heritage Centre. “All of those people will be at the wedding show and highlight the wedding trends.”

This year’s vendors include Keeks Paper Co., Purple Peony, Planned Perfectly, Platinum Productions, Ryan Bergan Photography, among others.

Guests will be able to compare different table setups, floral bouquets, and decoration schemes. Alareen Doherty, of the Winnipeg-based Buttercream by Alareen, will be on hand with cookies, cupcakes, and cake samples. In addition, organizers will be serving appetizers and Capo di Grande will operate an espresso cart. They’ll even have a deejay in the house.

“People will have the opportunity to mingle with each other, meet our event manager, and meet our vendors in a casual, fun way,” Andres says. “We will have a summer corner with lemonade stand, a winter wedding hot chocolate bar, and more.”

Andres adds that the Heritage Centre was awarded for best booth at the Wonderful Wedding Show in Winnipeg this January, out of more than a thousand vendors.
