One trend we noticed from the fabulous brides at the Washington Bridal Showcase was that more and more are looking for a "destination wedding" that is still semi-close by and affordable (Sorry, Hawaii and the Bahamas- you guys are beautiful yes, but you are just too far and WAY too expensive to travel to).
For a lot of brides- Virginia Beach is a great alternative. We are a days drive from most of the east coast, we have an international airport nearby, we have an awesome beach, and we have lots of fun and exciting things to do on the days surrounding your wedding for you and your guests- no matter what time of year you get married!
Don't believe me? Check out our website: www.visitvirginiabeach.com
What is also wonderful about the Virginia Beach Convention Center, as we have mentioned before on this blog, is that we can do your ceremony and your reception in the same place. Once they get here, no one has to drive anywhere and brides love that they can even get dressed here and never have to take their white dress outside! Unless of course they want to take the dress out for some beautiful photo opportunities. Having the peace of mind of not having to worry about the weather is a blessing during those last hours leading up to the big day.
There are great places to stay- hotels all along the oceanfront and boardwalk areas as well as vacation rental homes where your whole family or bridal party can be under one roof. (Wedding Slumber Party!!!)
We are excited that brides and grooms are choosing Virginia Beach and the Virginia Beach Convention Center as a place to bring their families and share the most important day of their lives with us. If your family and friends will have to travel to your wedding anyway - it might be a consideration for you to "Bring it to the Beach" and make a real vacation out of your fantastic party.
