We had a great time creating the menu, preparing the Building Musueum and serving the fun crowd at the SAVOR 2010 - check out more about the event here:

GREEN DOESN’T MEAN GRANOLA. Green also doesn’t mean inexperienced. We aren’t hippie-dippie and no one is wearing patchouli oil. We’re seasoned pros with a passion for what we do. Green doesn’t have to mean more expensive. Just because you’re eco-minded, you don’t need to part with more of your green.

Weddings have a huge environmental and financial impact – and the larger the event, the more punch they pack. Considering there are more than 2 million weddings in the U.S. each year, the power of a wedding to change the world is significant.

A green wedding is simply a wedding for which the couple has made choices that limit the negative impact to the planet. It can be a little or a lot, because every aspect of your Big Day can be greener – from the invites to the flowers to the make-up – even your napkin choices can help save the planet!

A green wedding doesn’t mean compromising your dream day or having a wedding with no style. It means planning thoughtfully and knowing that every decision you make has the power to affect positive change for the future. What more can any couple ask for?

Greening your day – and your life – is a process. Every small step you make will help save the world.

Frustrated by the amount of waste we have seen at wedding shows, and events in general, the producers decided to band together and create the change they wanted to see in the industry.

We are here to tell you that green is chic, affordable and absolutely the way to go for your Big Day. No other wedding show in this area has been designed specifically to promote green, sustainable options for brides and grooms.

We are putting on this wedding show and going virtual – including no paper tickets, posters or programs. Our website is running on wind energy and the show is energy offset.

Most importantly, our exhibitors and sponsors not only believe in the green cause, but you can feel great shopping with them because they offer sustainable products and/or services.
