Texasweddingexpo.com - Bridesclub.com - Evans Consulting Group Big RipOFF false advertising Internet
A wedding consultant told me to check out texas wedding expo show in Frisco texas a few months ago to get good deals on stuff for my wedding. I couldn't find anything but I remember her saying it was at the Embassy in Frisco so I called them. They told me to check out www.texasweddingexpo.com. I saw a show for February but the website didn't seem user friendly, more for exhibitors I think but it had a link that said For the complete list of exhibitors in the texas wedding expo click here. It went to www.bridesclub.com. I didn't register but I went through the list of exhibitors in the show and decided to take off work to attend and visit about 12 of the exhibitors that interested me. The Texas Wedding Expo site said up to 158 exhibits and thousands of attendees.
I expected to make my final purchases and orders at the show at show prices and also go to the fashion show and enter to win a wedding gown. the website also said they would give away coupons worth $2000 to the first 500 brides. Not ONE of the vendors I wanted to visit was there. In fact I counted 33 booths, not even close to 158! Plus there were very few people. No coupon book either.
I did attend the fashion show with about 25 other people, it was a joke and when it came time for the drawing the guy on stage said there were no rules and asked the girls who were getting married in August to stand up. Three did and then he asked their wedding dates. Then he said he had picked a date before the show and it was August 9, one of the dates of the girls standing. Out of 365 days he picked the exact date of one out of 3 in the audience. FIXED, no doubt because we had to register with wedding dates. NO way was this a 'drawing'. On Monday I called the vendors listed on the site that I was hoping to visit. 3 told me they were not in the show. One vendor told me she wouldn't be in a show run by Evans Consulting Group. Obviously my day off work was a waste and this show was a RIPOFF. they lied about how many vendors would be there, coupons, etc.

Bogus Complaint Filed By a Bridezilla

Wed, August 08, 2007
This complaint is bogus.
The Texas Wedding Expo in February 2006 had 1662 attendees, 1085 brides.
There were 82 exhibits all manned by local wedding professionals hoping to meet and help the brides that attended.
The event lasted two days and featured four professionally produced bridal fashion shows. It's silly to think a show promoter would spend thousands of dollars to promote an event and then hand out lliterature for companies that were not at the event. Obviously, this bride is confussed.
For the record, BridesClub and Evans Consulting Group were not involved in the Texas Wedding Expo although the companies do work together now, in January 2006 they didn't.
It appears like 1 bride out of 1085 had to find a way to b***h. Obviously her husband is a very lucky man.
