Real wedding submissions are one of the best ways to create publicity for your business, establish your credibility, and attract ideal clients. Getting a real wedding feature in a major publication can set your brand apart from the competition.
As wedding PR experts since 2009, our team at OFD Consulting has helped wedding businesses secure thousands of real wedding features. We’re here to help (through our OFD Collective), or to give you guidance here on a few wedding publications to consider.
Once you’ve decided if your wedding is submission-worthy, you’ll need to figure out which publication to submit to. To help you get started in your search, here are some of our favorite publications to get a real wedding published:
