GAINES – It was just over a year ago when Fairhaven Inn opened at the former Village Inn on Route 104 in Gaines. The venue debuted with a bridal show.

Fairhaven on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. will again be offering a bridal show with many local vendors at 14369 Ridge Rd W.

“The Fairhaven Bridal Show is designed to give couples a true feel for what their wedding day could look like here while also connecting them with trusted local vendors who are offering exclusive, event-only promotions,” said Katie Stiegler, marketing director for Fairhaven and a wedding photographer. “It’s a really unique opportunity to plan, get inspired, and make meaningful progress all in one place.”

Couples will be able to make vendor connections, receive exclusive discounts, and realize a clearer vision for their wedding day along with the chance to secure their venue and key services early in the planning process, Stiegler said. Many of the vendors attending are offering a day of discounts. Admission is free. Click here for a link to RSVP.

“We wanted this to feel more like an experience than a traditional bridal show from the live runway to the giveaways and vendor interactions,” she said. “It’s about helping couples feel confident and excited about their next steps.”
