• Cincinnati Wedding Showcase will award a variety of lavish prizes to individual attendees throughout the weekend long event! Items include but aren’t limited to a wedding reception, a photography package, a wedding gown, tuxedos, a floral package, bridal party and keepsake items to name just a few. The Cincinnati Wedding Showcase is a great way for brides, their families and friends to sample catering and wedding cakes, view distinctive fashion and floral design trends at daily fashion shows, and meet with accomplished professionals in the Cincinnati wedding industry. Of the original inspiration to launch the event in 2004, Nancy Folchi of Folchi’s Formal Wear notes, “We started this event because so many bridal clients came to us overwhelmed with the planning experience. We knew that being in the industry for so long would allow us to assemble all of the area’s top industry professionals into one signature event.”

Ashley Alsip, a Cincinnati Wedding Showcase 2009 attendee and happy bride adds “I was able to attend the 2009 Cincinnati Wedding Showcase, 99% of my wedding selections came from the show.” “My formal wear of course was taken care of by Folchi’s Formal Wear, I booked my reception, selected my wedding and bridesmaid dresses, DJ entertainment, limo service, photography package, flowers, along with my wedding cake all from contacts made at the show.”
