You do what you do best. We make sure you get noticed for it.
We might be biased (okay, we definitely are), but we firmly believe that a solid wedding industry PR strategy is what’s going to take you and your business from “hmm, that name doesn’t ring a bell” to “of course! I’ve heard all about them.”
Not to show
off, but…
Here are just a few of the goals clients have recently achieved after
working with OFD Consulting on their wedding PR strategy.
An uptick in national + international inquiries for their planning services
Speaking slots at national conferences like Engage!, The Special Event, Be Sage and Wedding MBA
Real weddings featured in People, Style Me Pretty, and Martha Stewart Weddings
Quotes in client-facing publications like The New York Times and The Knot as well as industry resources like Special Events magazine, Catersource.com and Wedding Planner magazine
Appearances on podcasts such as The Wedding Biz, This vs. That: Wedding Planning Decisions with Kelly A. McWilliams, and Weddings for Real
I’ve been working with Meghan and OFD Collective for years. Meghan’s one of the first people I reach out to when I need wedding-industry experts for articles. She knows exactly what I’m looking for in terms of which experts fit for the stories or projects I’m working on at the moment. I love that she represents an amazing roster of wedding professionals and that she herself is a major voice in the industry.

Why work with OFD Consulting?
We have 15 years of hands-on experience (and the relationships to match)
Wedding public relations is it for us, which means that over the years, we’ve cultivated long-standing relationships with countless members of the press who know we can give them what they need: a juicy quote, on time, from someone who really knows their stuff. And for our clients, that means we help them develop a realistic PR strategy tailored to their business, then check off their goals one by one.
We’re the only wedding PR firm with a focus on public relations within the wedding industry itself
What we said above. For many of our clients, running a successful wedding business is just the first stage of their growth. Once they’ve got that in hand, they want to position themselves as an expert and an educator in front of their industry peers. We’ve got relationships with organizers and program chairs throughout the industry, not to mention the insight that comes from our founder’s own experience as an industry speaker.
(This isn’t to say we’re not good at publicity that gets you in front of engaged couples, by the way—just ask us about our submission pickup rate.)
We have options for businesses at all stages
Contrary to what you might think, PR isn’t just for the big names that you already see everywhere you look. We’ve designed offers for businesses at all stages of the PR game, whether you’re a new-on-the-scene business looking to get your name out there locally or an established pro who wants to share your years of hard-won experience with the community—and become a go-to industry expert in the process.
I am always happy to see OFD Consulting pop up in my inbox! I know it means we are going to get stunning real wedding content in a timely manner and that every asset will be organized to perfection.
