Recognizing that time is your most valuable asset, businesses and potential clients are brought together in one location to offer networkers the chance to build a business-networking portfolio while making connections that count with many prominent companies in the area. The opportunity exists for anyone looking to meet professionals from other businesses, greet potential clients and grow as a business.

At 2:00 PM we will invite the brides into the theater to participate in ‘Bridal Wars’ to vie for prizes. Brides will be given numbers upon registration and these will be used to pick the participants. The vendor will invite 3 – 5 brides to the stage to take a challenge – the winning bride will receive a prize from that vendor. In addition to these prizes the Chamber will be offering additional prizes to the Brides. Come for a fun filled afternoon. For more information call the Chamber office at 973-300-0433.
