{Come one, Come all!} WellWed Magazine’s carnival-themed Cape & Islands Wedding Affair invites you to step right up, take a chance, and plan the wedding of your dreams! This year’s event will be held at Chatham Bars Inn, Chatham, MA on March 12 where vintage carnival games will set the tone for a fun and inspiring showcase of inventive décor and complimentary, fair-worthy fare - including candied apples, cupcakes, and, of course, cotton candy. Mingle with the some of the best wedding professionals in the region before heading into the spa room to enjoy luxurious hand and foot treatments, hair and makeup consultations, and chair massages. There will be educational seminars on everything from wine and menu pairing to modern wedding etiquette, and the evening will conclude with an amazing fashion show of stunning bridal couture. Even better, a silent auction of fabulous wedding-related gift certificates and other items will benefit the Make a Wish Foundation, and each lucky bride-to-be will receive a luxury gift bag containing over $100 worth of goodies.

In honor of the event, Weddingbee’s giving away two sets of couples’ tickets (a $40 value!) to the Cape & Islands Wedding Affair!
