Jim Thorpe Wedding Expo
WHEN: Saturday, November 19, 2011 (2nd annual) - 10AM to 3PM
WHERE: Mauch Chunk Ballroom, 41 West Broadway, Jim Thorpe PA (Carbon County PA.)
DESCRIPTION: Jim Thorpe is known as a quaint and picturesque town nestled at the western edge of
the Poconos but, Jim Thorpe (then called Mauch Chunk) was once known as only second to Niagara Falls as a
destination wedding location prior to the Great Depression.
Two local business women, Doren Perdie (chef and owner of Through the Looking Glass) and Tara
Banninger-Kubas (owner Jim Thorpe Weddings & Events & Slumber Parties by Tara B) in partnership with the
Mauch Chunk Ballroom, are determined to put Jim Thorpe back on the map as the North East’s premiere destination
wedding location.
Tara notes, “This town is a perfect setting for a wedding. Its Victorian charm and the beauty of
nature that surrounds it is the perfect backdrop to your special day. There are endless possibilities for your
wedding day here from traditional church weddings, to outdoor lakeside or riverside ceremonies. It’s also ideal for
a themed wedding for the adventurer that likes to white water raft, climb, bike or hike. Many couples come to Jim
Thorpe for a romantic getaway and many couples have become engaged while vacationing here.”
The Wedding Expo is also an opportunity for local residents in the surrounding areas to become
familiar with the talented craftsman and business people that engage in wedding related business activity. Already
slated to be at the event is La Mia Torta, a talented cake maker from Lehighton, Best Buds Florist from Slatington,
4D Karaoke/DJ Services, Carissa Dawn Photos, Signature Wedding Videos, Pun Nuptials, Say it With Doves, Mary Kay,
Thirty-One Gifts, and many more! There will be prizes, give-a-ways, a bridal fashion show compliments of Anne
Margaret’s Bridal by Victoria of Palmerton, cake tasting, and food tasting compliments of Through the Looking Glass
Caterers of Jim Thorpe. It will be broadcast live with Ken the Captain on Magic 105.5 WMGH.
The Expo will take place at the beautiful Mauch Chunk Ballroom above the Museum and Cultural Center
at 41 West Broadway.
