The Gala Expo wedding and Prom showcase brings a bright spot to the depths of our Maritime winter!

The Gala Expo attracts grads, brides, and exhibitors from across Atlantic Canada, bringing a wide range of choice to graduation and wedding planners all under one roof!

Fashion shows, dance and all-day musical entertainment will highlight this exciting event along with the much anticipated gown sale which offers up to 80% off on featured gowns. There will be gowns by over 50 high couture designers with such well known names as Atelier Pronovias, Alfred Sung, Alfred Anegelo, After Six, Alyce, and Anjolique, and more. There will be special offers and prize draws including the popular “Win a Car” ACS Formals Customer Appreciation Draw which will give away clear title of a new Dodge Caliber right there at the show courtesy of a major sponsor, Can-Am Chrysler.

Along with all the fun and excitement the Gala Expo brings to attendees from all across Atlantic Canada, a deep commitment to giving back to community underlies this event. $2.00 of each $13.00 ticket is donated to a non-profit organization like the IWK, and the $2.00 sale of each of 500 Wedding Bells magazine will go to the IWK. Local schools will be in attendance with their own fund raising as well, and 10¢ from each new member to join the ACS Formals Facebook site will also go to IWK.

ACS Formals of Rivernew, N.B., is the driving force behind the creation of the Gala Expo and is also its main sponsor. A family-owned and operated business since 1976, ACS Formals offers a one-stop shopping environment for formal occasions such as proms and weddings. Located at 830 Coverdale Road in Riverview, N.B., ACS Formals carries a wide inventory that includes bridal wear, tuxedos, shoes, veils, gloves, jewellery, and other accessories. Also carrying wedding props such as archways, floral stands, decorations, tableware, and invitations, ACS Formals has everything needed for that “dream wedding.”

ACS Formals is the vision of owner Johan Levyssohn who heads a team of professional seamstresses, tailors, and wedding consultants whose goal is to provide excellence in service and the finest products in the business in helping the bride and groom to achieve the wedding of their dreams.
