Simcha Expo resounding success
There were mazeltovs a-plenty on Sunday when more than 1,500 community members flocked to the Village Hotel in Elstree for the Jewish News & Media Group's Totally Jewish Simchas Live Exhibition.
Hailed as a resounding success by the event’s exhibitors and visitors, it boasted in excess of 80 stands - from florists to photographers and bands to bridal wear - helping guests arrange every aspect of their forthcoming weddings or bar/batmitzvahs.

Among the visitors on the day was Louise Marks, a mother of two. Describing the event as "entirely innovative", she said: "It was a must in any person's diary when planning their perfect simcha."
The sentiment was shared by Rachel Cohen whose son's barmitzvah is fast approaching. "The Simcha exhibition was excellent, a really great opportunity to get ideas. I had been struggling to find a good caterer, but with so many exhibiting on the day, I was able to sample food from each one. I'll definitely be coming back next year, even if I'm not planning a party1"
Event organiser Adam Bloom said: "The feedback we've had from exhibitors and attendees has been so positive. I wish everyone who is planning, attending or celebrating a simcha this year a warm and hearty mazel tov."
Expressing delight at the day's success, Jewish News & Media Group chief executive Dan Assor added: "I would like to thank our sponsor for their support, as well as all of our exhibitors for showcasing their products and services on the day. I would also like to thank all the members of the community who came along for helping to make it such a wonderful occasion."
