RISE AND DINE AUGUST 26 AT OMNI

Rattlesnake, Seldom Blues and Melting Pot to Pleasure Palates

DETROIT -- (August 6, 2007) -- Not only is the 5th Annual Original Metro Bridal Tasting a great gourmet getaway for a Sunday afternoon, the bridal taste feast actually plates up the perfect wedding planning wonderland drizzled with outstanding attractions.

Brides and grooms-to-be agree, especially, that the search for the most exceptional wedding reception is over, thanks largely in part to restaurants who continue to set new standards in the creative cuisine served at this 'waterfront brunch' event. From rich giveaways from number one cookware brands like KitchenAid and Cuisinart, to cooking instructions for the soon to be wed-culinary enthusiasts, taught by top local chefs -- the show is rare, though there's nothing undercooked or minimalist about it. Couples are expected to come from near and far, paying twenty dollars per person, to indulge in a day of fantasy and outstanding food and wine, beginning at 11am until 5pm.

The GM presented Metro Bridal Tasting will again immerse its guests in exceptional fare and fun, from its picturesque downtown location, along the shores of the Detroit River and indoors at the Omni Detroit Hotel at River Place.

Each year, the remarkable show harvests the highest quality of wedding planning experts and specialties and piles it high for brides, grooms, bridal parties, family, friends and foodies to enjoy.

The deliciously uncommon waterfront wedding extravaganza is seasoned with a few spectacular surprises too -- Speed Dating for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, 'Longest Kiss' contests, Salsa Lessons, a Cigar Bar for the bachelors and of course a sensational runway drenched in stilettos and couture frocks, hosted by WDIV Local 4's Rhonda Walker.

Based on past year's aromas and hundreds of satisfied guests, this ultimate event and dining experience promises quality and delivers it in a beautiful bouquet of plenty. Expect, musical entertainment, floral and cake contests, photographers, expert planners, plus, thousands of dollars in prizes. For ticket outlets and more information, click on metrobridaltasting.com.
