We will have vendors offering specialty bridal items and services. Also joining us for this fun filled afternoon event will be DC¡¯s Finest! Veteran Planner, Kelley Gillespie.

CHIP of Greater Richmond brings education and support services to the homes of low-income families with young children who live in the Richmond area. ¡°At DeCambreEvents & Associates, we are both excited and thrilled to bring Richmond this wonderful event.
