SHIP BOTTOM- Members of the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce have been busy promoting its business community and continues to champion the importance of collaboration and adaptation during the current pandemic.
“COVID-19 has brought us into uncharted territory in every aspect of life, the response is to evolve to the next level of service and bring the Long Beach Island Region businesses to the guests that could not come here,” Lori Pepenella, CDME Chief Executive Officer said.
In the last several months the chamber has been designing their five-year strategic plan. That plan includes consumer connection and enhanced access to local businesses. The 2020 Wedding Road Show & Party Planning event will not only showcase members who registered to be part of the event, but help people get more familiar with the area.
Pepenella said, “typically the day of the Wedding Road Show brings hundreds of out of state attendees as well as a wide range of residents from New Jersey together. We will be highlighting the beauty of the area with dynamic video from the Just Beneath the Surface Series, pro tips, photos, online tools from venues and vendors, and prize giveaways for participants that join in.”
In order to win the grand prize of the show an attendee will need to log into the event at the start time and stay online until the show is over.
The grand prize is an exclusive package from the Seashell Resort and Beach Club in Beach Haven that includes an overnight stay, dinner for two on a private beach with a curated menu and wine pairing.
Other prize opportunities will be offered throughout the day. Cyber sponsors have joined in to support and spread the word about this unique spin on a one-of-a-kind event. NJWedding.com, Elegant Bridal Production, Celebration Guide, Press Communications, Visit NJ as well as the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders are looking to bring thoughts for a brighter future to everyone who takes part.
The Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce has served as the region’s professional chamber since 1914 as well as its globally accredited Destination Marketing & Management Organization. Since creating the Wedding Road Show more than a dozen years ago, the chamber has tracked increased weddings and special event services in the region by 200% making Long Beach Island a destination for celebrations.
The event will be hosted at no cost online. Register at visitlbiregion.com/lbi-region-events/wedding-road-show/ to receive a link for the event, which is at 10 a.m. to noon on April 26.
