On Sunday, June 8, 2025, the Westminster Shopping Center was filled with excitement and love as the Jo Jo Maguire Bridal Showcase made its debut at 12 Westminster Shopping Center, Westminster, MD. As the owner of Montagu Meadows, a barn wedding venue located in Westminster, MD, I had the pleasure of participating in this grand event. Not only was it organized and welcoming, but Jo Jo Maguire made this a first-class event. It was held from 2 to 5 p.m. at Jo Jo Maguire Design’s studio in Westminster, Maryland. This event brought together a dream team of local wedding vendors, providing engaged couples and their families with inspiration, resources, and sweet surprises.
Hosted by Jo Jo Maguire Design at her stunning new storefront, this showcase marked the first event in her All-in-One Bridal Boutique. Jo Jo’s new space offers everything a bride could dream of with floral design, rentals, custom
cakes, and professional bridal hair and makeup. And guess what? It is all under one roof. To add a little sugar to the celebration, Jo Jo treated all couples to her delicious cupcake samples in a variety of flavors.
Couples from across the DMV and even West Virginia gathered to meet talented vendors, enjoy tasty bites from Kechy Pizza Co (also located in the Westminster shopping center), and soak up the positive energy. The first 20 engaged couples received swag bags filled with fun giveaways, while every attendee had the chance to enter a drawing featuring fabulous prizes and discounts donated by each participating vendor. And the giveaways were worth the visit.
