Frequently Asked Questions

I've already registered for earlier an Cavanaugh Bridal Show, but would like a coupon for this show. Do I need to re-register?

No. If your email is active you will receive a coupon via email, or if you address is current you will receive a coupon via US Mail before the show. If you do not receive a coupon you can request one by email ONE WEEK prior to the show by putting Coupon Request in the subject box and forwarding it to dan.cavanaugh@brideshow.com. We ask that you wait one week prior to the show to make sure you did not receive one in any other format. Tickets on-line are always available on our secure web site and are discounted as much or more than the coupons.

Can I bring my husband-to-be?

Yes! About 20% of show attendees are men.

Can I make bookings that day?

Yes, many vendors will take bookings or deposits. Be sure to bring your checkbook and to inquire about refund policies.

What time should I arrive?

It is best to arrive early to enjoy the experience of both the Walk Through Fashion Shows and the 170 Wedding Professionals. If you want to attend on the least crowded day, Sunday is our recommendation.

This new walk through fashion show format allows for a more "personal experience" for you the brides. Walk through the over 200 manniquins and live models, get up close and touch the gowns, see the detail, compare dresses on the spot, talk to the owners of the bridal salons, all while taking your time, shopping at your pace. Not sure which dress is perfect. Visit the over 170 wedding professionals and then come back for a second look. We have the largest selection in the city of bridal, bridesmaids, and mother of bride and groom gowns on diplay, showcasing a full range of gowns to fit into every bride's budget.

Can I bring as many people as I want?

Yes, you may purchase as many tickets as you like. Many brides bring their attendants, mothers and fiances.

What about parking?

Parking: Saturday and Sunday - Regular rates apply: The Stanwix Street Garage (625 Stanwix Street across from Max and Erma's - but you can also enter on Ft.Duquesne Blvd) or the Gateway Garage on Liberty Avenue across from the Wyndham.
