A St. George couple's wedding celebration
will be spotlighted on UtahBrides.com television show Sunday
night on KJZZ channel 14 at 10 p.m.
UtahBrides.com, the television show, will be highlighting a St.
George wedding and the professionals hired to provide services on
their Sunday evening program.
The show, which airs at 10 p.m. every Sunday on KJZZ 14, is
designed to not only entertain, but help a bride plan her wedding.
Hosted by actress, Heather Beers (star of the LDS movie
"Charly"), each episode is filmed from a different location and
includes love stories, planning tips, unique ideas, bloopers and
tips from the street.
The show blends reality TV and Martha Stewart-style production.
The producers receive e-mails from brides stating what they would
like to see on the show. Then efforts are made to address their
e-mails through the show.
Working closely with St. George wedding consultant, Debbie
Peysar, who owns Vintage Celebrations located at the Main Street
Theatre and Ballroom in St. George, UtahBrides.com hopes to bring
exposure to wedding service providers in the St. George area.
Owners and producers, Robin Saville and Darren Schmitt, who
themselves have worked in the wedding industry as videographers for
nearly 14 years, wanted to expand their productions and decided to
do a television show about what they know best -- weddings.
Saville and Schmitt hope that UtahBrides.com will not only
entertain and educate brides planning a wedding, but will also
increase the quality of the wedding providers she hires. It is also
hoped the bride and her mother will have a greater appreciation for
the professionals they hire.
Another goal is to help future brides and grooms discuss plans
and budgets with family for their wedding. Many weddings in the
state are often planned in three months or less which leaves little
time and money to prepare for the wedding. This likely is the reason
why weddings in Utah, and more so in St. George, are significantly
less than the national average of $15,000-$25,000.
Peysar says that many St. George weddings are between
$3,000-$5,000. UtahBrides.com hopes to encourage families to plan
and budget for what is, for many, the biggest day of their life.
However, UtahBrides.com believes that trends in Utah are changing as
brides are planning often before they have met the person they will
marry. Many couples are also interested in unique weddings and ideas
and want to do something different for their wedding.
UtahBrides.com is excited to be working with brides and wedding
professionals in the St.George area. 'What we have discovered is
that whether or not someone is planning a wedding, many people like
to watch a show about weddings, especially when they recognize the
different locations and possibly even the people highlighted in the
show," said Saville.
