It is one of the coast’s fastest growing business areas, yet still a bit of a secret to many.

Who doesn’t want to get married at the beach? That’s what organizers of the Weddings at the Beach Bridal Show are well aware of, as they’re gearing up for this display of over 50 wedding services on the north Oregon coast – set for March 17 in Seaside.

The event will be held at the Seaside Convention Center, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Brides, grooms, and families can find everything they need to host a wedding at the beach including caterers, venues, flowers, photographers, gifts, jewelry, and much more.
