Two creative ladies, each a small business owner in her own right, who originally met over a love of theme parties, costuming, and mutual friends, found themselves coming back to the same idea they wanted to collaborate on, over and over. Neither had a “traditional” wedding, and both were struck by the straight-and-narrow bridal expo options in a town known for keeping it weird. Plus the big expos did not talk to their sense of style or–more importantly–to their hearts.

Ms. Stefanie Crock, had years of experience in the music industry, most recently launching her own booking agency, Grabbable Entertainment.

Ms. Shanna Pharis had years of experience in communications, web design, and a burgeoning wedding film and video company with her husband, not to mention a bad crafting habit, love of craft shows, and her own jewelry design company.

So it was only natural that these two would come together to give Austin brides the planning event that they deserve: full of a a little fun, whimsy, and lots of unique, talented, passionate vendors.
