The Minnesota Wedding Industry Rocks!

Eager brides will line up around city blocks for their chance to get advice from the most trusted name in wedding dress retail, Randi Fenoli. On every episode of this splashy new series, Randy will roll into a different city in a tractor-trailer packed to the gills with wedding dresses.  Inside the event space created by The Wedding Guys, Randy will have a team of consultants, working various fitting stations, to help each bride find the perfect dress. Each hour-long episode will focus on three particularly interesting brides.  Doing much more than helping women find the right dress, Fenoli will design their entire look from “head to hem” as he calls it (dress, hair makeup, bouquet). As part of each event brides will visit with ten excusive exhibitors in each market to find out how to create the perfect wedding.

“This is an exciting venture for The Wedding Guys’ family of brands and the perfect marriage of professional event production and reality TV,” says Matthew Trettel, President of The Wedding Guys. We are excited to work with the talented team at Half Yard Productions and TLC on the production of ‘RANDY TO THE RESCUE (WT).
