Preparations are far advanced for the
first ever edition of a Wedding Exhibition Fair to be staged in the South West seaside
city of Limbe.
Under the theme “Atlantic wedding Expo”,
the show is slated to run from 13 to 15 November 2015 and is expected to see a
cumulative attendance of about six thousand visitors.
To be organised by a conglomeration of
business firms under the banner of CORE5 network, the fair which is the very
first of its kind would be a platform for professional vendors and service
providers in the wedding industry to showcase their products and services to
the public. CORE5 network is an events management company made up of a group of
professional photographers.
At a press briefing at the Buea chariot
hotel recently, the Chief Executive of the organising company, Stanley Miki,
revealed that the level of preparations had heightened ahead of the event which
will be the first ever in the country. He said a mini exhibition at the chariot
Banquet hall that sanctioned the Buea press conference actually marked the
officially launch of the wedding expo which is expected to last three days.
Hear him: “the Atlantic wedding expo is
a marketing platform where people from different domains in the wedding business
are going to come together to be able to showcase their products and services.”
“We came out with this concept because
people have been looking for quality services especially in the wedding
business because a wedding is that one thing that happens once in your life. We
are going to bring these business people together so that individuals who are
looking forward to wedding can be able to select good services that suit their
budgets” Miki explained.
Miki justified the choice of the city of
Limbe as venue for the Fair by laying claims to the presence of “the Atlantic
Ocean, its touristic value….and its rare and very beautiful locations…”
“That’s why we think that if you want to
get a dream wedding, go to a location like Limbe” he added.
About the attendance and exhibitors,
Miki said; “We are expecting over 6,000 guests. We have already printed 6000
tickets. We are as well expecting 25 vendors for this first edition. We are
still having some vendors who are interested to take part but since this is the
first edition, we want to limit the event to 25 vendors”
Miki also told reporters that some of
the exhibitioners would be coming from abroad.
