Many of us are members of The Association of Bridal Consultants, but this is also open for non-members to come and get to know more about ABC. As our fellow Association of Bridal Consultants member so perfectly put it...
"Why yes, Dahling, it is easy to become an ABC member! Whether you are a wedding planner, coordinator, consultant, designer, florist, photographer, graphic artist, baker, chocolatier, venue representative, caterer, jewelry designer, travel agent, hotel representative, officiant, hair & makeup artist, rental company, DJ, or even a person who makes little baby tuxedos for dogs...YOU can join the ABC! ABC offers memberships to planners and to vendors – and yes, it is true, ABC members sometimes do get special little bonus treats like, oh...an all inclusive trip to someplace lovely & exotic like Turks & Caicos for just the price of AIRFARE!! Plus the whole "We've been around since 1955 and are the largest and most respected bridal association in the WORLD" thing kinda helps! If you sign up for membership while in attendance at one of our merry meetings, we will waive the application fee! Just for you. Because you're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darn it, we like you a whole lot!" -Tammy Waterman, MWP Special Moments Event Planning
