Hi Everyone! I just had a show on Saturday and a woman who is getting married this summer approached me about having a cook off with her finace. I said "SURE!" excited about the booking....then I got home and thought "how do I start?" :confused: HAHA!! I've heard of these before but haven't done one yet - this is my SSM2. The bride and groom wanted to compete against each other. Any ideas on what to do and what recipes to recommend? Thanks in advance for any help! I'll be needing it!

:D Thanks Ginger! That helped out alot!! Do you or anyone else have any suggestions for just the bride and groom to cook or compete against each other? I don't have as many tools as I'd like to have since I just started out. I'm not sure if they just wanted to compete or what, that's why I wanted to have as many options out there as possible. Would I still demo something quick or do you have other suggestions? I am really excited about this show! They really sound like alot of fun!!

Thanks again!
Erica
 
Wedding Planner LetterHi all, this is my first time replying. I would love to get a copy of someone's letter to a wedding planner. I have sort of run out of leads for shows and would love to get involved with a Bridal Show or Bridal Registry this summer! Tis the season right?

I would not demo anything if they are having a cook-off. I would explain how to use the tools...especially for the guys.

One thing I found is that you should explain the tools to the women first. The men will not listen to the women's tool explaination and start before the official start time.
