  • "Twice a year my happy place has a name... & it is National Bridal Market. There is nothing like the energy, the fashion, and the connections that happen when the best in the bridal industry come together under one roof. Every season I leave inspired, full of fresh ideas, and even more in love with this industry."

    @BETTERBRIDALGROUP

  • "When you come to National Bridal Market - it's more than just another bridal show. It's community, it's seeing faces you haven't seen in a while, it's networking and connecting with new faces that make you want to come back! It's the fashion, the passion, the teamwork and effort, it's the city of Chicago, it's the celebration and the embracing of culture (St. Patty's Day), it's the mental reset and recharging every bridal store needs and consultants need to go another season! And March's show was all of this and more!"

    @FIVESEASONBRIDAL

  • "Attending the Chicago Bridal Mart has helped our brand grow exponential in a short time frame. The volume of traffic, and marketing opportunities provided by the show have provide a great return on our investment. The staff is organized, professional, and friendly, and help put brands in a position to meet their goals. We will continue to come back twice a year, each year."
