Ah yes, our most popular event of the year has come around again. It’s the Diamond Dash<\/strong><\/a>! Famed for the apex of the event — the actual diamond dash, where a lucky few engaged couples get the chance to dive into a giant wedding cake to hunt around for diamond jewelry that’s baked inside — this year, it’s the very last wedding show of 2018, on October 28th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Typically, the opportunity to win diamond jewelry, tons of other prizes + giveaways, all while enjoying cocktails and conversations with Albuquerque + Santa Fe’s local wedding experts<\/a> is enough to draw in all of New Mexico’s gorgeous engaged couples. But, there’s one more hidden little perk to doing your wedding planning in person at a Perfect Wedding Guide<\/a> wedding show, and it only happens at the Diamond Dash<\/a>…<\/p>\n

PWG Bucks.<\/h3>\n

What are PWG bucks exactly? They’re essentially free wedding service coupons, except they’re totally customizable. So the power is totally in your hands and you<\/em>\u00a0get to choose what service to use them on. All participating vendors have special packages or services available that you can take up to $500 off of!<\/p>\n

The best part is the PWG Bucks come in increments of $100. Which means you can spend five on five different wedding services<\/a>, three on one big package, two on two, etc., etc. Big decisions, we know!<\/p>\n

This next part is an important one though — how do you get the most bang for your PWG Buck?<\/p>\n

Our advice is to start planning out your PWG Bucks budget the moment you register<\/strong> for the event<\/a>. That way, you can come to the show already knowing which types of wedding professionals you still need to connect with. Then, when you walk in the door of the ballroom at the Hyatt Regency Downtown<\/a>, you’ll already know which booths to spend your $500.<\/p>\n

Perusing through the myriad of wedding vendor<\/a> booths with your $500 in hand, you can absorb some IRL (in real life) wedding inspiration, chat with local professionals<\/a>, and even snag some snacks and freebies from all the experts. Each professional who is currently participating in the PWG Bucks deal will have an adorable little sign on there table that clearly indicates that they will accept your PWG Bucks as a form of payment. Some more advice: if you see the sign, don’t be shy!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Albuquerque + Santa Fe\u2019s vendors<\/a> are wonderfully talented, it\u2019s true, but they’re actually not mind-readers, if you can believe it! If you’re connecting with a local professional<\/a> and want to use some of your $500 of free money, just let them know and get the conversation started. They’ll be happy to direct you to the packages available to you and let you know how many hundreds of dollars you can save.<\/p>\n

Essentially, the PWG Bucks are your icebreakers and your wallet-savers in one.<\/p>\n

Lastly, remember that\u00a0PWG Bucks themselves expire at 4pm<\/strong>, when the wedding show finally begins winding down and reaching a close. Luckily, because the local wedding professionals<\/a> are constantly so considerate, most of them will allow you to redeem them up to a week \u2014 or even a month! \u2014 after the show. It\u2019s all about the communication, so if you feel a connection with a vendor, but maybe need to talk it over with your partner before you book, just let your vendor know!<\/p>\n
