We are proud to have the opportunity to present the first ever “Essential Grooms Expo” the reason for putting this amazing event together - is that we at Essential Media, producers of the Wedding Essentials & Essential Grooms digital Magazine, feel that in this day and age in which we live, when it comes to planning a marriage – which is the most important day of your life, is equally special for both the Bride and the Groom.
We have seen in the past that a lot of emphasis has been placed on the” Bride only ” and not enough is placed on the” Groom, and even though the day is equally important for both parties, we feel that the groom is lost – and that society prescribes what the groom needs to do, only to stand at the alter & look dashing, while waiting for his bride to be.
However, we at Essential Media, producers of the Wedding Essentials and Essential Groom digital magazine, running for the past 5 years already, feel that it is time for a change and that it is important to acknowledge the groom, as he will be playing out the three most essential roles in her life, being - The Groom, The Husband, The Man.
The Purpose of this event is to give the groom a voice, an opportunity to show case all the aspects he needs to take into consideration while planning the perfect wedding with his new bride to be, after she has said yes.
The Essential Groom Expo will provide an opportunity for all professionals and suppliers and service providers in the wedding industry to showcase their products and services to a direct target market of all new grooms-to-be.
The Essential Groom Expo is the only platform in South Africa that caters for the groom, ensuring that he too is made to feel special on his big day, making this “The Ultimate Guide for the Ultimate Groom”.
The Essential Groom Expo will have full section of service providers dedicated to the groom, the best man and the father of the groom.
