NORFOLK, Neb.— Brides and grooms of Northeast Nebraska will have an opportunity to engage with others and win some prizes at the 3rd annual bridal show. 

The event hosted by Midtown Event Center is setting up for their 30 venders to come in and giveaway and sell products of all kinds.

“We have over $12,000 in giveaways,” Event Coordinator Brittany Melby-Heimes said. “We have eight large giveaways from our sponsors. So we have a wedding dress giveaway, a wedding band set, DJ service, trolley service, an event room, rehearsal dinner catered, a photography, and a videography service.”

On top of the prizes and food, there is a fashion show at the end of the event, 

“It adds a fun finale, and then we do our large giveaways after the fashion show. And you have to be present to win the large giveaways, so it gives a reason for everybody to stick around and enjoy the fashion show before the giveaways,” Melby-Hiemes said. 

That show features Norfolks own Madonna’s wedding belle. 

“It's a whirlwind, but honestly, my favorite time of the year. So exciting, the models love it. It's just so fun and we get all the vendors together,” Madonna’s Wedding Belle Owner Lesley Milenkovish said. “Third year in a row doing it, it gets bigger and better every year. So excited to be able to show everyone coming, what we have to offer, as well as what all the vendors have to offer.”

Tickets can be purchased at the door for this event and every person gets one free entry to the 8 large big giveaway.  

Guests  will be able to participate in a bingo event, which includes getting a stamp from all venders for an extra giveaway ticket.
