The Fun One-Day Wedding Expo will be held at Margaritaville Lake Resort from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. January 23, according to The Alter Experience.
“Wedding planning shouldn’t feel like a full-time job,” the website says. “Finding lists of wedding vendors is easy. But you want to be confident you chose the right vendors for your wedding. You need to be able to meet with each possible vendor so you can learn more about them and see if you even like them. That can feel like a full-time job in itself. It shouldn’t have to feel like that! It should be fun!”
