2nd Bridal Idol Kicks Off in Style, The Wedding Guide Windsor/Essex County, Sponsored by AM800CKLW & Bluesfest International

 

Imagine a dream wedding event, where the prize package is valued at over $22,000.  Bridal Idol is celebrating its 2nd annual year and the fun began at The Whiskey Rock and Roll Bar, Wednesday night in downtown Windsor. With over 100 people in the house, the Karaoke Brides sang their hearts out. Also performing were finalists from last year’s hugely successful, Bluesfest Idol.

The winning bride took home a $1500 bridal gown, courtesy of It’s Your Day Bridal Salon in LaSalle.

Friday night, the competition moved to The Victoria Tavern, where our lovely hostess Dawn-Marie set-up her gear again. The evening is programmed as total entertainment with the brides singing in between. It was fun and the excitement knowing that AM800cklw, Bluesfest International and The Wedding Guide Windsor/Essex County are changing a couple’s life is rewarding!

If you know an engaged, area bride- have her register to compete. The competition continues every Wednesday at 9pm at The Whiskey and every Friday, at 7pm at The Victoria Tavern.

The final night is scheduled for March 11 at Place Concorde where the winner will take over a prize package over $18,000 and go to the Bluesfest Idol quarter finals.
