Orcas Chamber Seeks Vendors for 2nd Annual Wedding Fair

The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce is presenting its Second Annual Orcas Island Wedding Fair on Saturday, February 25, 2006. The Chamber hopes the fair will draw wedding planners and interested engaged couples from throughout the Northwest to the island to see what is available to those planning a destination wedding.

Vendor opportunities are available to businesses throughout the islands. The fair would be of interest to those businesses or individuals which provide locations for weddings, rehearsal dinners or receptions; caterers; restaurants; cake makers; wedding officiates; churches; florists; event planners; photographers; beauty salons; musicians; lodging for wedding parties and honeymooners; etc.

The fair will be held at the Rosario Resort Discovery House, with a Bridal Salon in the Rosario mansion music room. It is expected to draw 300 or more visitors to the island. The Orcas Chamber is partnering with a Seattle-based event planner to procure big-name sponsorship as well as to produce high-quality, high-visibility advertising for this event. The Orcas Chamber will also be sharing a booth at the Seattle and Portland Wedding shows in January 2006 where it will hand out flyers about its Wedding Fair.

Vendor space is limited, so if you wish to participate, please register as soon as possible. Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are also available. In addition, the Chamber is looking for food and wine businesses interested in providing samples of their products at the evening food and wine tasting reception to be held at the Orcas Center Saturday evening.

Please visit the wedding webpage on the Chamber's website at www.OrcasIslandChamber.com/wedding where you will find information as well as a registration form. You may also call the Orcas Chamber at 360-376-2273 or email at info@OrcasIslandChamber.com.
