Rock The Ranch...what an experience! #PHOTOS @ranchRh #bridalshow#fakewedding#rockinghranch#lkld

On January 29, 2015, the stunning venue of Rocking H Ranch in Lakeland, Florida held it's first “Rock the Ranch Experience”! This sold out event allowed couples and bridal parties to meet and greet with Central Florida’s best wedding vendors and get inspired first-hand by their work through a mock ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception; complete with a delicious dinner & drinks.  The guests were able to mingle with multiple vendors as well as learn industry tips from the guest speaker Lauren Harper from Every Last Detail blog.  In addition, many wonderful prizes from the vendors were given away, including a free wedding at Rocking H Ranch!  Half of the proceeds were donated to the Make a Wish foundation.  Check out the photo gallery below!   Here is a list of the rock star vendors that I had the honor to work with for this amazing event:
