![]() Suzanne and BOLI Emily say they watched a cooking demonstration and were able to try the food that was prepared with the cookware. (Champagne flutes Suzanne used at her wedding)Īll of the BOLIs attended the presentation with other winning couples. She wasn’t told about the other prizes of rings and champagne flutes until she arrived. She says that when she was called, they just told her she won a trip and needed to attend a meeting with other winners. She adds that she and her fiancé at the time could only attend half of the seminar, so the company told her if they went back to sit through the whole thing, they could get their prizes.īOLI Admin Suzanne had a slightly different experience in 2016. BOLI Elizabeth says the seminar she attended last year was given by Kitchen Charm. In order for the brides to collect their prizes, they had to attend a presentation from a cookware company. Some were offered a canvas print or baseball tickets too. Most were a set of wedding bands, champagne flutes and some sort of vacation. MORE: Six reasons you should go to a bridal expoĪll of the BOLIs who we spoke to say that they were told they won various prizes. Is it all too good to be true? Are these so-called prizes just a part of one big scam? We met with a few Brides of Long Island who “took the bait,” and they shared their experiences with us. It’s easy to enter – just provide your contact information, cross your fingers, and wait to see if you’ve hit it big! But many “lucky winners” question the legitimacy of these rewards. ![]() ![]() Attending a bridal expo can be very beneficial in your wedding planning, especially if you’re short on time!Īside from vendor booths, DJ sets, and fashion shows, most bridal expos feature drawings for some pretty epic prizes. The only reason I'm still even considering giving this a second thought is because the Kitchen Traditions, Dinner for Two was at the Bridal Show and giving away prizes.At one point or another, you’re bound to attend a larger bridal expo on Long Island. Literally, everything screams SCAM ALERT! I don't know if it is just her or the whole company. When she texted me again about the prize she says the days are Saturday or Sunday to choose from and doesn't give me the location info. She then asks my opinion because she is showing her boss later. She also admittedly told me she created this blog because she thinks it is more professional and gives all the details, but her boss doesn't know she created it. She gives me this blog ( ) that she has setup that details about the package and it basically says what her text says about Friday or Saturday but includes this presentation my fiance and I have to attend at the Holiday Inn by the Airport. Eventually she texts me back and admits she prefers texting and then calls me and is just as awkward as the voicemails. In following this rabbit hole, I find there are two FB pages for the Bridal Registry, a FB page for Kitchen Traditions and two websites for Kitchen Traditions which are similar and give the same information. However, this did give me her last name, so of course I Facebook her and it gives me her profile and says she works at The Bridal Registry, which had its own FB page. I call her and it goes to voicemail (a very awkward, unprofessional voicemail I might add). Then on Thursday I get a text from this Savannah saying that she is with the Bridal Registry and that my fiance and I won this package for champagne flutes, honeymoon accommodations, and $600 for weddings bands and to call or text her to setup arrangements for the gifts. Except I had no texts from this number nor did I know where she was from and the number when I googled it was for an old couple in TN. Last Wednesday, I get a call from TN with a voicemail from a sad sounding female saying "Hey Brittany, this is Savannah I texted you. So I went to the Fall Bridal Show in Grand Rapids, MI. More than likely going with my gut on this one and bailing out, but wanted to see if there are any recent instances (all the past posts about this are from 4 or more years ago).
