(ADNEC) Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company’s new weddings division, Al Maa’red Weddings, has made a splash at the Bride Show, Abu Dhabi. For the first time Al Maa’red Weddings showcased its new services to the public, receiving an exceptional response from the Arabic and expatriate communities from around the UAE. Fiona Jackson, Head of Al Maa’red Weddings, said, “It has been a very successful show for Al Maa’red Weddings. We have already received orders, for not only hall hire within the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and Al Khabisi Wedding Hall, but to plan weddings for people in Dubai and Sharjah. There is clearly a real need out there within the UAE, not only for production support but also a personalised wedding planning service to coordinate the celebration and to work within family budgets.” Attracting attention from every angle with its unique circular stand design, Al Maa’red Weddings was one of the most visited stands at the Bride Show, welcoming VVIPs, suppliers, brides-to-be and members of the media. In addition to promoting its services at the show, Al Maa’red Weddings awarded one lucky visitor an exclusive Arabesque Abaya and Sheila, including a personalised fitting with well known French designer, Judith Duriez. “We are thrilled with the launch of Al Maa’red Weddings, the show has not only assisted us in leveraging our new services to the public but also enabled us to secure connections with leading dressmakers, florists, entertainers and more. Well renowned suppliers want to position their brands alongside Al Maa’red Weddings - this is wonderful news for brides-to-be as it allows us to produce a truly magical event for their once-in-a-lifetime experience. The public response has been amazing and there is certainly an extra buzz being spread within the community,” concluded Ms. Jackson.
