Brides Will do ANYTHING for the Perfect Dress! Even See a Show!

Kudos to Chagrin Valley Little Theatre here in the Cleveland area for their awesome promotions for the upcoming production of "A Perfect Wedding". Not only are they auctioning off some beautiful wedding dresses donated from a dress shop that's going out of business throughout the run of the show, but they are also offering the set for actual weddings!! New brides-to-be will search anywhere for good deals on beautiful wedding dresses and the silent auction is likely to bring them in...even if they don't buy tickets to this show it could bring in people who may never have walked through the doors otherwise which is planting seeds for the future. Too much fun! From their recent press release:

WEDDING DRESS SILENT AUCTION
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre will be offering two very special promotions in conjunction with this production; a silent auction of designer bridal gowns will be held throughout the run of Perfect Wedding, with gowns on display in the lobby of the theatre and at the theatre's website.

GET MARRIED ON OUR STAGE
In addition, CVLT is offering a 'perfect wedding' on the Perfect Wedding set to any interested couple (opening and closing nights excepted). The theatre will provide the stage and will play any music provided on the theatre's sound system. A wine and cheese reception in the theatre's River Room, as well as free tickets for the bride and groom and a group discount to their family and friends are also included. Interested couples should send a 100-word or less statement on why they'd like to celebrate their special day in this unique way to nancy@cvlt.org by June 5. A three-person committee of CVLT Board members will choose the winner.
