Frequently Asked Questions

For Classic Wedding Fairs, It certainly is recommended to pre-register and pre-pay! It saves you money to pre-pay your admission! Especially if you are attending with a group! Brocade usually offers many exclusive incentives, savings and opportunities than non-registering Brides don’t receive. Plus, you don’t have to take the time to fill out the registration form at our check-in Desk on the Day of your Fair. We certainly do accept walk-up Brides, but there may be delays if we sell out or have long lines. Pre-registered, pre-paid Brides (at least 72 hours in advance) do get preferential treatment.

For Venue Showcase Dinners, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to pre-register and PRE-PAY admission! As the Chefs at the various venues need to know how many attendees to prepare dinner for, we must have a firm count of Brides and their accompanying Guests at least 72 hours in advance of any Dinner Date. Only a VERY LIMITED amount of non-pre-paying walk-up guests will be seated for dinner. All must have pre-registered online. Once Dinner Capacity is full, no other attendees will receive dinner with their admission. Limited walk-up Dinner capacity is different at every Venue and rarely will exceed five Brides and their guests. Walk-up Seating is strictly on a first come, first served basis.

Do the Fairs Cost money to attend?

Yes, for Classic Wedding Fairs, the cost is usually between $10 and $15 Cash Admission per person, depending on the Venue of each Fair. However, every Bride receives a complimentary 3 day / 2 night Las Vegas Getaway for Two with fully paid Admission plus a Savings package that has Coupons and/or lists of Discounts for every Bride featuring $1000’s of dollars of Savings Value. These are exclusive Brocade Wedding Fair Features that more than offset our low Cash Admission costs.

Every Venue Showcase Dinner usually costs between $15 & $25 per person and may be even higher depending on quality, venue and special attractions that may be included in the evening’s schedule. You are REQUIRED TO PRE-REGISTER & PRE-PAY ONLINE to hold any reservation at least 72 hours in advance of any Dinner Date. Only very limited Dinner seating capacity (if any) is held for day of event, walk-up Brides. If seating capacity is reached, full admissions are still charged for walk-up Brides, but no dinner will be included. Dinner capacity seating is strictly on first come, first served basis

After receiving our Trip at a Classic Wedding Fair, do we book our Las Vegas Getaway through you?

No. The trips are arranged through a promotional travel company who handles all the travel arrangements. Some date & travel restrictions do apply, so simply follow the instructions on the Travel certificate and the Travel Company with get you taken care of. All of the Vegas details are on the Certificate and we assume no travel responsibilities. Travel Promotions are usually only available at Wedding Fairs, not Venue Showcase Dinners.

If we have other Admission Discounts for a Classic Wedding Fair, can we still get a Las Vegas Trip?

No. The Vegas Getaways are only available with a FULLY PAID admission to a Fair. If you have other discount Admission Coupons you may choose to use them in lieu of receiving a Trip. But we usually don’t combine offers unless they are specially co-advertised.

Brides who pre-register Online are sometimes sent extra combined offers that they must present receipt of in order to receive the combined offer at the Fair registration desk.

Do Friends, Family & Children pay admission also?

Yes. For Classic Wedding Fairs, everyone appearing to be adult must pay full admission, however any small Children under 13 get in FREE! We do recommend that you come with adult family & friends so you can truly enjoy all the fair has to offer and shop in a relaxed, undistracted environment. However, we also know that isn’t always possible, so Kids are Free at Wedding Fairs.

For Venue Showcase Dinners, You are attending to seriously consider booking a Venue to host your Wedding. These are decisions that require the attendance of Bride, Groom and Financially engaged Family Members (if involved in paying for the Wedding.) This is usually not a time to be distracted. As the Venue is also preparing dinner for all in attendance, all attendees regardless of age will be served dinner and are expected to pay in full.

Are we required to buy anything at any show?

No, the Classic Wedding Fairs are designed for you to attend, shop and compare prices from Booth to Booth or even Show to Show! Our Vendors offer great discounts at every booth to help you Save Money on your Wedding! Some people come just to collect ideas. Some come to sign up for multiple goods and services. It’s Up to you what you wish to buy or participate in.

At Venue Showcase Dinners, you have done your part by PRE-PAYING your admission. The Venue is going to decorate, cook, serve and try to impress you enough for you to book your Wedding at their location. However, if for whatever reason, you are not impressed or you simply want to visit more Venues before making a decision, this is COMPLETELY your Choice! There are no obligations. The Hosting Location only asks that you still be in need of a Venue for your Ceremony and/or Reception and you give them a chance to impress you.

Can we come to a Venue Showcase and not have Dinner?

Certainly, but the Admission Cost is still the same and must be pre-paid. Whether you eat or not is up to you. In the event you did not Pre-Pay your admission online at least 72 hours in advance and walk-up to pay on the day of the Venue Showcase Dinner, the venue may run out of dinner seating and prepared food. You would then be charged “Day of” or “At the Door Admission Price” but would not be guaranteed a Dinner. It is always a risk to not Pre-Pay at least 72 hours in advance.

Does Parking Cost?

Some Hotels and Venues have lots of FREE parking and paid Parking. If available free parking is full, you must use the paid parking areas. We do try to negotiate discount parking for all of our Brides, but each Venue has its own policies. We will try to list Parking styles and costs on each Fair’s Date & Map page.
