Six Local Wedding Expos and Events to Check out This Month
Brunching, DIYing, and planning are all on the agenda.
FRIDAY, APRIL 5
Wine and Dance Tasting
With the music flowing and the bottles pouring, this wine-tasting and dance class will give you a chance to sample quality vino and prep for hitting the floor at your own celebration. Instead of wine and food pairings though, the experts at Arthur Murray have become connoisseurs of sorts, coupling each dance you’ll learn—from ballroom to salsa—with one of six different wines.
$10, 7:30 p.m. – 9 p.m., Arthur Murray Dance Center of Cambridge, 151 Alewife Brook Parkway, Cambridge, eventbrite.com.
