Gateway Bridal Shows

A wedding is a wonderful milestone event in every couple's lives. But, with all the details involved, sometimes planning a wedding can become very time consumming and frustrating. At the Gateway Bridal Shows, brides and grooms can save time, money and hassle! In just one evening, couples can meet with over 100 wedding professionals, compare pricing, and have valuable face-to-face time with the vendors.

A lot of wedding planning these days is being done online. But, so many things can only be decided upon after seeing them for yourself. At the Gateway Bridal Shows, couples can plan their wedding using their 5 senses.... Look at gorgeous bridal gowns. Listen to a beautiful string quartet. Taste yummy wedding cake. Touch soft table linens. Smell romantic flowers. It's all a real, hands-on, interactive experience.

Gateway Center is hosting two Gateway Bridal Shows in 2010. The first show is on Thursday, January 14, 2010 from 5 PM until 9 PM and the second show is on Sunday, July 18, 2010 from 1 PM until 5 PM.

Gateway Center staff has been known to go all out for Halloween. We have costume parties, we decorate our offices, and we pull scary pranks on each other. BOO!

So, when it was time to pick a theme for this year's Gateway Center sponsored ChamberNet, a Halloween themed event was a no-brainer!

We have been planning out our costumes, creating a scary menu, and gathering spooky decor including vampire coffins! Special thanks to A-1 Party & Wedding Rental in Collinsville and the Waterloo Sportsman's Club for allowing us to borrow decor.

We are ready to impress (and scare) our guests at ChamberNet next week!
