Application

The Wedding Day Hooray 2012 Application Deadline was Thursday, January 5, 2012. This information remains posted here for reference. If you are interested in getting on our waiting list email craft @ ice-atlanta.com. 

The Indie Craft Experience’s Wedding Day Hooray will be February 18, 2012. We are seeking vendors to sell handcrafted items that could be used in the production of a wedding (cake toppers, stationary/invitations, jewelry, clothing, table center pieces, bridal party gifts, decor, guest books, party favors, etc) and wedding day services (photographers, hair and makeup artists, bakers, caterers, etc). Because of our passion for handmade (we organize the Indie Craft Experience), this wedding show will emphasize the handmade, but we are also interested in sustainable and local products.

Before filling out the application, please carefully read the Terms & Conditions. By filling out the application you are agreeing to the following:

Terms & Conditions
Thanks for your interest in participating in Wedding Day Hooray. All items sold at Wedding Day Hooray must be handmade or must represent a service appropriate for weddings. This is a juried event with a limited number of slots. We receive many applications and cannot accept everyone. The application deadline is January 5, 2012. We will send out notifications by January 12th. If you are not accepted a refund of your payment will be initiated on January 12, 2012. We will not consider your application if it is not complete or if we receive it after the deadline. A complete application includes all the information we request below, including photos, plus payment.

Fee:
The fee to participate is $215. This amount is due with your application. Once accepted, you will be given the option to rent tables ($10 each) and chairs ($5 each) from us to use during the event. This is optional, you can bring your own.

Refunds:
If you are not accepted $205 will be promptly returned to you. Refunds take a few days to clear but the process will be initiated on January 12th. There is a $10 processing fee.

For those accepted, we offer a short grace period after acceptance emails are sent out. This is the only opportunity to receive a refund. If accepted, but you are unable to participate we will offer a refund of $205 if you notify us by January 19, 2012. After January 19th we cannot offer a refund – no exceptions.

If the event is canceled due to severe weather, other Acts of God or conditions beyond the control of the Indie Craft Experience, your fee will not be refunded to you.

Sharing:
You may share a space with another vendor, BUT you must apply together. This is a juried event so we must approve both of you. Put info about Vendor #2 in the “Briefly Describe Your Craft” section and include photos from each of you.

Space:
Each vendor will have a space that is 9 ft. wide x 5 ft. deep Vendors are responsible for their entire display: tables, chairs, table clothes, racks, etc. This includes hauling and setting up your display. We have an extremely small staff, and it is your responsibility to haul your belongings and to set up & break down your display.

Day of the Event:
The event takes place Saturday, February 18th at Ambient Plus Studio in Atlanta’s West End neighborhood from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Set up will be done on a staggered schedule which we will send out after vendors are accepted. Ambient Plus has a small load-in area so it is very important that everyone respect the time slot they are given. This schedule will be tight and everyone needs their allotted amount of time.

Please, do not break down early. You are expected to remain set up until 6 p.m. If you break down early we may not be able to accept you for future shows. If you have to break down early due to an emergency please let us know (even if it is via email after the fact).

Gift Bags:
Once you are accepted, we will ask you to send items for the 100 gift bags that we will distribute to attendees. Because a lot of the attendees are brides-to-be (and their mothers/sisters/girlfriends/fiances) we want these gift bags to be extra special so the ladies feel extra special. Items should represent your business and should be samples of what you have to offer them. This is not mandatory, but strongly encouraged. Gift bag items will be due February 1, 2012 and further information will be sent to accepted vendors.

Security:
The Indie Craft Experience believes that providing a safe and secure environment for the event is very important. Security will be hired for the event (including move-in, move-out and the hours of the event). We do not take responsibility for anything stolen or damaged during any portion of the event.

Responsibility:
The Indie Craft Experience and Ambient Plus are not responsible for personal injury or any items damaged or stolen during the duration of the event (including move-in, move-out and the hours of the event). It is the responsibility of each vendor to transport their belongings and to not leave valuables unattended. The Indie Craft Experience and Ambient Plus are not responsible for your belongings.
