“This will not be your average bridal show” says Elaina M. Whitley, ‘It’s My Party’ event producer and host. While I enjoy attending bridal expos, they sometimes lack the resources which are necessary and helpful to event, meeting and party planners. I’ve been working on this event for a very long time and I’m very excited to finally introduce it to my fellow event professionals, clients and the public.”
