Quality vendors, an exclusive fashion and great atmosphere were all part of this successful event.
September 25, Los Angeles, CA- The fifth edition of the 2013 Quinceanera.com Expo series took place this past Sunday September 22nd. The event was a huge success due to the collaboration of over 100 vendors and EC Hispanic Media’s effort. San Bernardino County was the home of a magnificent event where many quinceañera girls had the chance to compare prizes and find new services in the party planning industry.
In addition, we were grace with the presence of major designers such as Moda 2000, Raul Corona and Roxy’s Bridal as well as Elizabeth Espinosa, host of the CNN Latino “Sin Limites”, who emceed the fashion show .
The Expo began at noon at the Ontario Convention Center where hundreds of families eagerly waited to enter the venue. Over 100 vendors, which offered a variety of services such as catering, venues, DJ’s, dresses and cakes, among others, were satisfied with the level of engagement of all the attendees who visited their booths interested about all the products presented.
“I am extremely happy. I have been giving samples of my cakes nonstop and I already have a few new clients. Also, I have seen a lot of activity during this expo. As a service provider I believe this is an excellent way to showcase my products to the public”, said April Palomino, owner of April’s Cakes, who had one of the most popular booths due to the complexity of her cakes.
The fashion show was the most anticipated moment of the event where Moda 2000, Roxy’s Bridal and Raul Corona were in charge of the runway show. Roxy’s Bridal owner, Roxi Porres, who has actively participated in the Quinceanera.com Expos said she “loved the event. I’ve had the opportunity to participate in every expo and I am grateful with El Clasificado for inviting me”.
During Ontario’s Expo, some of Roxy’s Bridal models walk through the venue showing the beautiful quinceañera dresses collection while at the same time other models where walking through the runway.
The mistress of ceremony of the event, Elizabeth Espinosa, thought the event was beautiful. “It is an important tradition of the Hispanic culture and very beneficial for the Latino community since they are being exposed to many party planning options. I believe this Expo carries a sweet message since a quinceañera celebration brings families together and both the planning and the party are memories you take with you at all times”, she says.
With almost 2,000 attendees, Ontario’s Expo met the goal of offering the San Bernardino quinceañeras and their families a variety of quality vendors to choose from, besides of course, an enjoyable fashion show.
El Clasificado, La Curacao, Goya, Moda 2000, Raul Corona, Roxy’s Bridal, sponsored the event. The next Quinceanera.com Expo and Fashion Show is set for October 13, 2013 at the Crowne Plaza in San Diego, CA.
