Amid all the winter snow and cold, it helps to cling to thoughts of spring blooms and warmth. Yes, before you know it spring will be upon us, the season most associated with love and marriage. That said, head to The End this weekend as Gurney’s Inn, Resort and Spa in Montauk is presenting their 8th Annual Bridal Showcase, along with weekend specials all winter long.

The event is a great opportunity to meet with expert wedding consultants, with lots of specialty wedding related exhibitors like florists, entertainment providers and spa and salon consultants. Admission is free and there will be great food and entertainment, along with a chance to meet and mingle with other future brides and grooms. The Bridal Showcase will take place on Saturday, February 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but why not make a weekend of it with an overnight stay?
