Passing The Torch

Here at Wendy’s Wedding Expo, we take pride in our long history (45 years!) of producing the highest quality wedding expo. We curate our vendors from among the best in the greater Cincinnati area, we don’t cut corners, and we put on a fantastic and fun runway fashion show. We have learned these things set us apart from other shows and make a great day for local brides and grooms, and the vendors that are there to make planning for their special day easier. This format came from the experience and understanding of our founder, Norm Wasserman and his wife Wendy. We have recently lost Norm, who was part of the foundation of the wedding industry in Cincinnati. We will take what we learned from him and continue on proudly.

One of our most faithful participants, Bill Teater of Great Day Productions, shared this about Norm:

Norm was an outstanding individual and a man of great character. My first encounter was at a bridal show 34 years ago and I was amazed at the high level of quality of the first show I was part of. Over the years I saw a man who was always open to new ideas and never afraid to try new avenues to promote and make his show what it was known for …….. the best in the entire area. He was without question a pioneer in the bridal industry in Cincinnati and he set a standard that all others tried to meet. His efforts were often imitated but never matched. I so appreciated his willingness to share his knowledge and insight into his business with me over the years. I will forever be grateful to Norm and I will forever think of him in ALWAYS THE BEST WAYS. You will be greatly missed my friend.

If you have been in the wedding industry in Cincinnati for a while, you probably have your own stories about Norm. We would love to reminisce with you!
