A school prom fair held in Stafford last week was deemed a roaring success after 400 youngsters from across the area turned out for the event which showcased the best prom suppliers in the Staffordshire region.

The school prom fair was held at Wolstanton High School and was organised by pupils mainly from Milehouse Lane School. 30 prefects and school students worked together with a handful of teachers to plan the prom fair event.

Prom suppliers from across Staffordshire and further afield turned out to showcase their services at the event. A Catwalk show featuring the latest prom dresses and formal menswear was one of the main attractions and proved very popular with the teens.

Limo hire for school proms is big business with many operators booking out many months in advance for peak prom dates. A party bus provider attended the prom fair last week to show off the converted bus which offers superb transport for prom goers.

The party bus owner said his vehicle is extremely sought after for school proms as it has a number of fantastic entertainment features including an onboard dance floor, which is perfect for a celebration such as a prom.

Closet Extravaganza donates prom dresses to girls in the US

As any parent of a teen knows all too well, the cost of attending a school prom can be extremely costly, especially for those living on low incomes. One school nurse working in Columbus in the US decided to launch a scheme to donate prom dresses to ensure no pupil was left out of the fun of the school prom.

Known as the Closet Extravaganza, the scheme was launched 6 years and is held every other year. The Extravaganza is growing in popularity year on year with 60 girls receiving prom dresses through the generous donations the first year, and 180 attending the following Closet extravaganza picking their prom outfit from the 400 dresses which had been donated.

As well as offering the all-important prom dress to youngsters in the Columbus area, the Closet Extravaganza also provides accessories such as shoes, jewellery, and handbags to complete the prom look perfectly.

Jean Kamrath, the school nurse at Columbus High School, said she was inspired to launch the scheme due to the high levels of poverty in the area, and she wanted to ensure that no teen was unable to attend their prom because of the expense involved.

This year’s Closet Extravaganza is due to take place early next month, all donations are welcome.

Another important school prom accessory is limo hire, luckily Limo 4 Proms are offering cheap rates across a wide range of chauffeur driven prom limos. Check out Limos 4 Proms now and receive a free quote for your school prom date.

School proms are big business for limo hire companies

School prom season is one of the busiest times for the year for limo providers

The rise in popularity of school proms in the UK is a much charted phenomenon. Once just an American rite of passage seen in teen films, now the prom is a mainstay of British culture.

The school prom has risen to prominence in the UK over the last four to five years and it’s not just the parents and the school pupils who have noticed, related suppliers like limo hire companies, suit hire suppliers and photographers have also been quick to catch onto this craze.

A school in Leeds described in a recent news report being inundated with requests from suppliers of limo hire, photography, and prom dress suppliers in the run up to the prom season. The occasion means big business for these industries and they are all vying to attract the attention of the teenage prom-goers.

Many parents view the prom phenomenon as a financially draining extravagance with some girls reporting to spend £300 on a prom dress alone. However others see it as a fitting celebration for youngsters to celebrate then end of a busy school term, and for some, the end of their school life.

The prom season is set to get into full swing within the coming weeks so if you haven’t organised your transport to your prom yet, take a look at Limo Broker’s stunning selection of chauffeur driven prom limousines by clicking on the following link http://www.limobroker.co.uk/events/school-proms/

Limo Broker featured in Sunday Times article on school proms

Limo Broker is quoted in a recent article in The Sunday Times discussing the rise in popularity of the school proms

Limo Broker has featured in an article in the Sunday Times this weekend discussing the rise in popularity of school proms in the UK.

Within the last five years, the UK has adopted the tradition of the American style prom and has made it its own. Now, you’ll be hard pressed to find a school in the country which isn’t organising this end of term party.

As well as the big dress and the all-important date, limo hire plays a crucial role in the school prom experience. In the Sunday Times feature, Limo Broker sales manager Alex Drummond describes the overwhelming increase in bookings for prom dates which the company has experienced over the last few years.

Limo Broker’s sales manager estimates that the company provides chauffeur driven limousine hire for 500 school proms a month during the peak season, which is an increase of 200 bookings compared to just three years ago.

You may be wondering, what’s the big deal with school proms? Drummond likens the event to a “wedding for kids” as the prom is the biggest occasion the youngsters have experienced up until this point in their lives, hence the huge emphasis upon getting every detail just right; much like you would for a wedding or any other special event in your life.

As one of the leading limo hire providers in the UK, Limo Broker is well placed to offer affordable limousine rentals for proms taking place up and down the country. With prices starting from as little as £30 per person, it’s no wonder the popular limo operator is reporting a boom in sales this prom season.
